Oh yeah, this thing.

Once again I see myself neglecting this blog.  I actually realized, while trying to log into my blog, that I have a whole other blog that was started ions ago.  Nice huh?  I can not even remember that I had an earlier blog, that seems to have had a slow death and is now buried with the millions of other dead blogs.....
Well, I will stick with this one. First for the fact that I like this blogs name and second, the photo depicts me in such a way that I would hate to see it sink into the black hole and fade.

I was sparked to blog, due to my friends blog that she posted onto facebook.  It made me realize that I had forgotten about this little "time out" that I create for myself ....  and miss her.  So Annie Bananni -I miss the shit outta you and thanks..you made me take a moment from staring in the mirror examining my wrinkles and use this "time out".  Your the best.


Lately has been interesting.  I am still trying to assist in the wedding plan for crazy Lucy, however she is back and forth with what her plans will be.  It always comes down to money or lack there of.  The ideas are still flowing, but it seems that these ideas are finding there way into my "wedding ideas" folder.  I am thinking that there are way too many ideas in this folder now.
This has now kick started my wedding.  Yes, I typed it.  My wedding.  So J and I are over this "surprise" kinda thingy that weddings seem to be. (at least to me)  We are talking about it all now...however I am still sticking with the plan of a proposal.  I want that at least....well I want my granmaws ring.  So J will have to go pry that from my mother's fingers.  The thought of that just makes it worth it.

I have started medication a few months ago, which has assisted in the quitting of smoking (thank you, *bow* thank you) as well as has worked with the mild depression that I have had for a many years.  It has cleared the cobwebs in a way.  It has been nice.  J has also been receiving some help of sorts.  I find it very interesting how just a step in a positive direction to live a more fulfilled life can profoundly effect what your thoughts for the future are.  It is something that has been current for us, and enjoyable.  It has opened doors of communication that were either not there, or muted due to some issue that was never talked out.    This is probably why we are talking about the future more. It actually seems real.

So there is that. It's nice.  Today however, is not a happy happy day...I am entirely irritated.   I am hating work right now...and I work for family, so....put that together.  Maybe I need to take a double dose of these "happy" non-smoker pills.  No, I joke.  But sometimes I wish that there was at least a few thousand dollars in a bag that I find, and I could go on a trip...yes, that would be perfect.

Well, my head hurts.  I will again blog and upbruptly end the blog, because I get bored or that vein in my head that can only handle so much computer light before it explodes, explodes.  I am off.

Randa out.

Dum, Dum, da, Dum...

So the gap in time has been due to a gal pal asking for me to help with a wedding.  I am apparently the go to gal for this.  Last October I also assisted in prepping a wedding for a friend.  For the October one, I was the maid of honor, so per that bride's  wedding planning book of tasks, I was to do a crap load of stuff. These books are insane.  First off, they weigh more than a 6 month old baby and bride's haul this book everywhere.   Now I love being organized, but for pete's sake...A binder of shit is not needed.  Well at least for me, I think.  The October event turned out great, other than the bridzilla moments that occurred.  I am still in a recovery mode from this, but on a path to getting back to my normal self.  
With this said, a new gal pal is planning to get married in September of this year.  She was engaged in November and has now since realized that she probably should be planning.  Everyone is asking and she is freaking out a little.  She is planning the DIY wedding...it should be interesting.

Now I do have to take a moment to explain my friend.  Picture Lucille Ball, but with super curly hair and talks a million miles a minute.  Other friends that I introduce her to, sit wide eyed at the speed that topics fly out of her mouth.  It truly is amazing and I am proud to say I understand her.  Well, most of the time.  Her and I are very similar...not in the hair color or speed of talking...but in style.  We like loud, bold colors and a lot of them same vintaged styles...its great when we go to estate sales together.  We usually gravitate toward the same items and get a little perturbed when the other buys it. So yeah, we like the same stuff.

While helping her, I have came across quite a few ideas that I liked.  These have now made it into a folder named "My wedding ideas".  Yes, for my wedding that is currently non-existent.  Is pre-planning weird? And I stealing these ideas that I know she would possibly like?  I have never really fantasized about a wedding...but now I am finding all of these ideas and saving them. 

I AM, however getting some wicked ideas for her wedding.  So I am using that as justification on finding stuff I like.  Right?  Right.

I will share some of these neato ideas that I have found her.  I am looking forward to seeing how this all turns out...with such limited time.  I do know that it will be fun.  We will see if my magic skills work to helping her get this all together.  If anything it will be interesting.  At least I will be there to translate when she starts talking with panic.  I bet you wouldn't find that in those wedding planning books.
