Sending lots of prayers. Hope the little guy is okay!

LilBee91

Yay, zero! You go right ahead and abuse that power!

Gravity Defier, don't get all power-happy and abuse yours.

I am attempting (and failing). I'm doing a very modified version--multiple short stories and a lower word count goal. I've been way out of practice with writing in general, so I'm hoping this well get me back in a writing/storytelling groove.

LilBee91

I'm so sorry, buckshot. *big, big hugs*

LilBee91

You're the best, zero!

My votes today were determined much more by which candidates have annoyed me less in the last year than by actual campaign issues. While I know voters should inform ourselves on the issues and whatnot, I think after candidates spent $50+ million in campaigning, I should have gotten more than "B...

LilBee91

Yay! Congrats! She's adorable.

So I guess she beat the thesis baby???

We are in the midst of moving into an apartment, so things have been a little crazy. But once we get furniture and internet I'll do a nice re-cap post. And probably post some apartment pictures in the nesting thread (or whatever it's called). In the meantime, if any of you want to see a bajillion pi...

LilBee91

She's adorable! Congrats, you two.

LilBee91

Those look fantastic! You guys too, but food takes priority in my mind always.

LilBee91

Okay Pwebbers (mainly steph, since you cook party food for fun, but I'll take any and all help I can get), I need food advice. We are planning on self-catering our reception dinner. Our favorite idea thus far is a pasta buffet/bar--basically a build-it-yourself meal with different pastas, sauces, an...

LilBee91

I would do it in a heartbeat if I had a nice
Oh, Steph. You do have a nice. You have a whole lot of nice.

What she said.

But if you wanted to borrow someone's fancy camera, we could make it happen.

Any aspiring Pweb photographers want to come shoot my wedding for a free winter trip up to Alaska? Wedding photographers are ridiculously expensive...

I'm going to start working the graveyard shift right after my wedding (or the week of, depending how scheduling ultimately works out). Starting a marriage and only being able to be with each other for a few hours a day really scares me some days.

LilBee91

<<huge hugs>>

LilBee91

Drove to my first day of work in the snow. I'm not ready yet!

LilBee91

Perty!

Now I feel like I need to get to work on all the partly-completed projects that I have lying around.

LilBee91

Alea, yes I got a new job. Or rather my first real job. I had to back out of the part time one I was going to take, since I got offered full time elsewhere for quite a bit more money. It's a graveyard shift, which is going to be unpleasant, but I can deal. Elf, I am looking at the higher deductible ...

LilBee91

I always thought people who voluntarily did not have health insurance were kind of foolish. Medical care is expensive--why would you choose to have to pay for it all yourself? But looking at how much my new job's health plans are, I can understand. Health insurance is a heck of a lot more money than...

LilBee91

She's adorable.

I love her face in that last picture. "Whaddya think you're doing, punk?"

LilBee91

Thanks folks! Steph, that is way cool. And I love the name. When my brain gets settled enough to have questions besides "where are we going to have this thing?" I will probably bug you a lot. Update on the venue hunt: We love the greenhouse for the ceremony. It's a good size, needs minimal...

LilBee91

Thumbs up: Got a job! Thumbs down: Less pay than I hoped for, and only part time. Thumbs up: I could be able to transfer to a full-time position in the company in the next 6 months or so. Thumbs up: I qualify for benefits! (kind of more of a thumbs neutral thing, since I have another 3 years of elig...

LilBee91

A few days...two weeks. Pretty much the same thing, right? I guess a couple brief updates before I regale you with the not-even-remotely-dramatic story of wedding dress shopping. The talk with the parents went better and worse than I was hoping--a little more emotional than I would have liked, but t...

LilBee91

*mega bump* It is three o'clock in the morning. Technically, I have nothing to really get up for in the morning, but I would like to be asleep right now. But no. My brain won't turn off. And you know the worst part? It's not even thinking about something important. It's all wedding flowers and food ...

LilBee91

I am pretty sure there is no way I can make it, but Chicago in the fall would be positively balmy compared to Alaska in November... But maybe the wind is a bit more nippy?

LilBee91

I guess I would fall into the category of a white person with only white friends, but I am pretty sure that's more of a side effect of only living places that are 90% white. Do you think that 40% of white people live in a place that is predominantly white?

LilBee91

So cute! Congrats!

LilBee91

Alea, you can be my virtual creative consultant if you want. I can provide lots of pictures! (In theory) Steph, I'm sure I'll have lots of questions about party planning for you. I have no idea about any of these things and don't really want to spend the money to hire a pro. I have friends who would...

LilBee91

Are we to assume the hummas and grilled feta were absolute failures? Or just not quite as delicious as hoped for?

LilBee91

I realized recently that I should probably start wedding planning in earnest and Pweb has been declared my official ranting post. Lucky you guys! In this post, you get lists. Thusfar, I have: Gotten engaged (still need to write up that story) Acquired wedding dress (post with that story to follow in...

Things that Confuse Me Browsing Wedding Boards on Pinterest This obsession with mason jars. And burlap. Most everything "rustic." Also the obsession with blush dresses. (side note: I don't know about you, but when I blush it's red, not pale pink) Aisle runners. Pew/aisle decorations in ge...

LilBee91

Yay, Luet!

LilBee91

Wow. I swear you just told us you were pregnant. Where did the time go? I suppose it probably wasn't quite that fast for you....

LilBee91

Congrats!

LilBee91

Good luck!
