i worked for a bit this morning, to catch up on a few things that piled up while i was out sick. our bodies may catch cold and demand rest, but work just keeps on keepin' on. good thing it was a baby-sized work day, so i was able to log hours right from the snuggly comfort of my bed.
my body has a good sore, achy feel to it after a nice, rejuvenating yoga practice. it's the first bit of movement i've logged since being sick. it felt incredible. just what these ol' bones needed.
this noggin of mine is buzzing with anticipation for this weekend's going ons.
tomorrow is looking to be a busy day. the guy and i are tackling a few wedding related tasks. our goal is to:
- talk with (and hopefully order) the "wedding cake" vendor. air quotations are appropriate here because we aren't having a traditional wedding cake because neither of us is much of a cake fan. what we are having i will keep a mum about for now. ;)
- put our pastry order in. since our ceremony is in the morning, we are replacing the typical "cocktail hour" with a "coffee hour," and serving coffee and scones.
- consult with our jeweler on my wedding band.
- return the undergarments i bought to wear under my dress, as i discovered they won't work while at my first fitting. fingers crossed i can find a suitable substitute that is also cute and re-wearable. i am much too practical to buy anything super frilly or "bridey" that can't be worn after the wedding.
we are also meeting up with a few friends and going to the foodie fest tomorrow afternoon. this will be my first time ever. there will be food trucks from all over the country with delicious foods to taste. i just hope there will be options that are still me friendly (aka tummy friendly).
and now that i have rambled enough, here are my top 5 favorites of the week.
1. organized . . . check!
love my cute, matching planners. funny thing is that i bought them separately, not even intending to coordinate! the big one is for all things wedding. the smaller is my personal planner that i tote just about everywhere i go. both help keep my world in check. a happy girl is a well organized girl. :)
2. daily motivation
the handsome little guy on the left ensures i have something to write about each and every day. even if it is a simple four lines of text. often times, my mind is spent after a long day at work. the last thing this noodle wants is to come home and string together enough words to make a coherent sentence. and then repeat that until i have a paragraph, blog post, journal entry, etc . . . the breezy q & a style of this five year journal keeps those dull-minded, writer's blocked moments at bay. and an unconstipated mind is a calm mind.
its companion to the right is a q & a style journal for couples. our plan is to start it the day we get married. puke city, right? haha well, as a soon-to-be bride, i reserve the right to buy as many puke-induding, cute couples things as i see fit. i promise there won't be many. ;)
3. my lips are sealed.
this little gal is my best confidant. never makes a peep about what i tell her. no matter how shocking, hilarious, or sad. she isn't really the gossiping type.
4. pets
these silly critters of mine keep me laughing each and every day. admittedly, they each have their days where they annoy the heck out of me. neo sometimes decides that barking at absolutely nothing all the day long is a great idea. or dexter begins his pawing-at-the-door wake-up-call at 3 am instead of 5:30 am. they each have their own way of acting up, but i love each one to pieces. and i can't picture my life without pets. #impossible

| dexter doing what he does best, sitting at my feet demanding attention. he looks pissed here, but he's really just caught pre meow. |
 |
| who you callin' a toy hog?! |
 |
| dexter and charles sharing the view, as the twitterpated neighborhood birds chirp out love songs. |
 |
| yoga is now a spectator sport. apparently no one ever taught these pups that staring is rude lol |
5. live to nosh
because eating really is the best.
although a tough pick (because again, i love to eat), these were my two favorite meals of the week.
 |
| vanilla coconut overnight oats with a side of cinnamon tempest tea from TJ's |
 |
| paleo enchilada chicken soup, topped with vegan sour cream, cilantro, served with a side of late july lime chips. the soup recipe can be found here, on paleOMG.com. |
wow, i'd planned for a much smaller post haha. guess i am just wordy!
hope you all have a fun, safe, and healthy weekend.
peace. love. :)
yay
