Rain!

This weekend, it has rained several times so far. Of course by "rain" I mean "spit," but in San Antonio we'll take what we can get. Beezus and I embarked upon the dog park just after seven this morning, where we were rained upon. Then we picked up Eva for a visit to the farmers' market, where we were rained upon. This afternoon the fiance and I went to see a movie, and on the way home were rained upon. Totally worth frizzy hair.

Pilates

Today was my first Pilates lesson. Let me first say that I hate exercise, despise it. Primarily because I find it boring and repetitive. Walking is ok, but it's boring, too, and that's about as much as I can handle. Until now, I've never had to worry about my weight, but I know it's coming... 30. And I know things will change, especially after I have kiddos. Plus I want to look good in my wedding dress since the pictures will be around for some time, so I signed up for a few classes. I'm doing private lessons at 210 Pilates and I had my first lesson at 7:00 this morning (?!). And... it was SUPER FUN! It's much more mindful than stupid gym exercises and you don't do 100s of the same exercise over and over and over. And the machines are old school. I like it. I realized in class that I'm way out of shape and pretty darn weak, but we're working on that. I need Michelle Obama arms for this dress...

Additionally, I have decided on my next craft project. A Moroccan pouf stuffed with shredded paper from work. Look it up.

First Wedding Present!

Last Thursday, the good doctor and I got our first wedding gift...

There was a knock on the door. Beezus freaked, naturally. I opened the door to his nemesis: the FedEx man! He delivered three big boxes o' fun. TGD's parents were more than generous. His mom and dad are reps for Pampered Chef and we got hooked up. The following are mine, all mine, mwahahaha:

Inaugural Post

Hey hey! So I've been intending to start a blog for months now. I needed to replace my facebook habit with something quasi-productive, so here's my blog! I will have to do some experimenting with the organization of the blog, so please bear with me. There will initially be a lot of overshare, I am sure. Here are some things I'd like to cover with my blog:

(1) The daily activities of my dog, Beezasaurus (aka Bernoulli) - gripping stuff, this is. He's monopolizing my lap at this very moment.
(2) The planning and prep of my upcoming wedding (September 17!)
(3) Various crafts that are and are not successful
(4) My journey of deciding what I want to be when I grow up ... Should I teach? Should I start a business? Should I remain a stay-at-home pup mom?
(5) Various inspiring thoughts I come across

Here are a few notable items from the past week:
(1) Wedding invitations went out Monday - there's no backing out now! Items remaining: find DJ, find florist, find string trio/quartet. 4 bridesmaid dresses down, 2 to go.
(2) My Kitty came this weekend and baked a strawberry-lemonade cake with lemon icing. Although the icing tasted a little chemical-y, the cake was stinkin' delicious and I have almost finished the ENTIRE BUNDT CAKE.
(3) I have been working with a student with Asperger's Syndrome the past couple of days at work. Her blunt honesty is refreshing.
(4) Tonight I successfully cooked popcorn on the stove! I sprinkled it with a little white cheddar topping, and that stuff was delicioso. Thanks to Eva for teaching me her ways.
(5) I've been studying with the good doctor for his board exams. I'm pretty much a pulmonary expert now.
