Wedding Plans

The wedding is approaching fast! We are definitely getting excited about the big day! Less then two months , I can't believe how fast it went. Plans are going well, everything is pretty much all done. The girls all have their dresses, the guys have been fitted for the tuxes. All the wedding favors are almost done. Still need to get some candles for the wedding centerpieces, but other than that it's all ready. Can't wait till the big day!!!! Now we get the RSVP cards back too so we get to find out whose all coming....

Television Shows I"m into this season !

There are a few television shows that I"m into watching this spring!

1. Big Brother 9 : This show started out as a couples game and now they have broke off to being single players. It's mainly a reality game / strategy show... Every week someone gets voted off!

2. Dancing with the Stars: This season has a interesting cast on it.There is one star name Marlee Marlen I think her name is, and she's deaf and can't hear the music. But she did a wonderful job the first night of the show.

3. American Idol : I have been watching this show since the beginning of it's season. There are some really great singers on it this season. David Cook, Brooke White, Carly and a few others. Tune in if you can.

4. The Bachelor: This season is the first time they have had a Britain on . And he's choosing one of us American women.

5. The Apprentice Celebrity: This is another reality game show but they are all playing for Charity's. I really hope that Trace Adkins wins.... Next week is the finally!

6. Here Come the Newlyweds: This show can be pretty funny! Andy and I have been watching this show on Sundays nights together. They ask a lot of questions to the other spouse.. Some interesting ones...And then I turn to Andy and ask him! He just laughs!

You would think I watch a lot of television, but really I don't... I tape all these shows and generally watch them on the weekends or right when I get home for work. So no couch potato here.

March Madness

It's that time again where there is nothing else on television but basketball and golf! I don't mind watching it so much but when you have to watch it all the time, it gets to be boring. Unfortunately Illinois didn't make it into the tournament but Wisconsin did. So far they are doing good. But they have a game this afternoon. We will see if they can pull off another win! Then there is golf, that can be pretty boring to watch too but sometimes it's fun to watch Tiger Woods golf... He's like number one right now in the country. At least to me he is! Anyways though I can't wait till there is some real television on again.

Snow

Here in Madison is snows a lot! Yesterday the forecast was calling for about 8-13 inches of snow in the Madison Area. I couldn't believe it and they say it was spring time. Anyways though it was nice and sunny outside the day before and it was like 45 degrees out and then it had to snow. I was lucky though because the roads weren't as bad as I thought they were going to be. They were pretty clean and I didn't get stuck going home. The only downfall was I had to work till 6 last night. But it's overtime....

Self Service - From Rachel Ray Readers

So I"m a big fan of " Everyday with Rachel Ray" Magazine. I was reading some of the readers tips that I didn't know about. So I thought I would share them on here.

1. If you have heartburn or indigestion, open a small can of sauerkraut and drink a little of the juice . You will get relief within 10 minutes. - Gloria Morton

2. When my sister and I were little and had fevers, our mom and grandmother insisted we put onions in our socks. We didn't care for the smell but our fevers came down. - Dana Heron

3. Sucking on a lime wedge doused in bitters cures the hick ups .- Dawn Warnentine

4. I make warm Chamomile tea and compresses for sore eyes. Just soak a washcloth in some brewed tea , place the washcloth over your eyes and lie back. It cures everything. - Sherry Brennan

5.Run the inside of a banana peel on a mosquito bite to stop the itching.- Lisa Walters

I'm leaving

I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I will be back again.... Well actually Andy and I are flying to New Mexico in the morning. Andy has his once a year USBC Bowling . I have never been to New Mexico before. It's amazing the places I have gone with Andy since we have known each other. Baton Rouge, Corpus Christie, Reno, and now New Mexico.... Next year we are going to Las Vegas and then in 2010 we head to Orlando.... We leave tomorrow and come back on Monday.. It was a little over a year ago this weekend that Andy had proposed to me... And now were less then 3 months away from the wedding. Getting very excited about it though...

Wedding Part 2

So yesterday Andy and I went and met with the caters for the wedding and it's amazing the amount of money you spend... China, and glasses, and labor for the servers, and money for the bar tender, and so on... Makes you think about, why didn't we just elope and have a fun party or cookout or something. But I guess in the long run you only do this once so it's worth it...

Wedding News

Well Andy and I went and met with the Church and the pastor who is going to marry us. When we first walked in, I got the wrong impression right off the bat. Didn't ask my name or anything and he really didn't introduce himself either. While we were there and things he was talking about different things and I asked does it have to be a father that walks you down ,because I'm having my grandpa walk me down. And I mentioned that my parents are divorce and I don't get along with my father. Then he proceeded to talk about divorce rate. Then I noticed that he was one to talk when he didn't have a wedding ring on. Who knows... Anyways though we were to take a counseling class and the pastor said it was to late, so he had us take this personality test. It was one of those fill in the bubble ACT test. Andy and I had to sit a opposite ends of the table, couldn't talk or look at other while taking it. This test was 165 questions long. When we were done, we took it back to the pastor and he said that he was going to send it to the University of Minnesota and once he got our scores back that he would call us. So I'm thinking to myself, what are these scores going to tell, if they aren't accurate or up to his likings, is he not going to marry us... Maybe I was reading way to much into it, but still kind of weird I thought. And to top it off, he didn't know the date we requested or the time or any of that either. Very unorganized if you ask me... Just a little venting ....
