Why Hello There
#1 – I went to Montana the 2nd week of June. I still haven’t recovered from the disappointment of returning. And also the disappointment of not seeing ANY grizzly bears while there (though BFF E and I saw many grizzly bear shaped things, and had some sparkling moments of hope followed by the crash of pissed off disappointment).
#2 – It took me most of the week to relax myself and quit thinking about work.
#3 – This sad state of affairs prompted me to draft (in my head) a NEW LIFE PLAN.
#4 – NEW LIFE PLAN =
a. start e-diet on e-diets dot com – (Montana friend E and her husband Jay clued me into this – you get a balanced meal plan, recipes, and even shopping list. We are into our second week and I think we’ve already lost 5 pounds) CHECK
b. get up earlier and sit at the table to eat breakfast and mull over the paper and prepare for the day CHECK
c. take a lunch break every day and exercise during it CHECK
d. leave work on time every day. If on time = 5:30, then check – so it’s a half hour late, it’s better than 7:00 which is what I was doing! I give that a CHECK!
#5 – I love my plan. Already I think my resting heart rate has dropped 10 beats per minute, and if you can believe it – my workplace is still standing. In fact it’s running more smoothly, because I’m much more focused. I am a genius.
#6 – Wedding is swimming along, thanks for asking. The Professor and I are tag-teaming tasks, and rocking it if I do say so. Less than 4 months to go, and feeling good about where we are. I picked my flowers, and my florist is a dream. Now on to favors!
#7 – Bella is getting fat. We hardly feed her and she still gets fatter. Any suggestions? Also she flings litter everywhere, even though we got a hood for the litter box. Also she chews on the speaker wire in the tv room. Also I love her anyway.
#8 – I have to get back to work. Gotta leave on time! Ciao.

NEW LIFE PLAN is a go! I\’m so proud! I have three months less a week to prep for the first bridesmaid dress/seeing old friends and you have inspired me. I\’ll be your workout buddy anytime!
PS: Got your "Save the Date" card–how perfect it is!

Crap. You sent out Save The Dates? I suck as a bride. 🙁
Glad to hear the new life plan is coming along swimmingly. Excellent! I love how you declare yourself a genius — the rest of us already knew that!
Happy Fourth!

Whew! You read all of that crap!? HA. So you can now officially confirm that I suck as a bride. I need info about yours! I want dress pictures, info, blah, blah, blah. I need it. I crave it!
How cute that Patrick wants a bridal portrait! I love that. Michael said forget it because all of my stuff is in different places right now. Plus, I still haven\’t gotten my dress yet. Hopefully this month sometime it will arrive. Woo hoo! I cannot believe how expensive it is for the hair/makeup stuff. YIKES! Definitely make friends with the hairdresser — PRONTO!
How was your fourth?

Well I am glad you are alive and well and not eaten up by a grizzly bear who had you recommended on his ediet print out.
I have been thinking about trying that. Maybe I\’ll go check it out.
I need a new life plan. Mine has gone awry of late. ; )
