something to talk about.

look at me and 3 days in a row! haha. thanks to work... i have time to sit and write for a moment.

so... flower pots still aren't totally finished, but i am going to plant them tonight anyway. jordi said she would still come and work on them once they were planted if need be. i took mine home last night because jordi and ben were falling asleep on the couch while i was still painting (oops). i stayed up till about 1:30 watching friends and painting. i love friends. i just started season 6 last night. tyler and i decided that if we had to say we were most like a character on friends, i would be monica and he would be chandler. megan would be phoebe. tyler's friend kevin would be joey. other tyler would be ross. and i don't think we have a rachel... maybe erin. actually, i think erin is a good fit for rachel.

anyway... the flower pot i have been painting doesn't look that bad, i think. bethany, i think you might even give me a pat on the back for it. i am pretty proud of it, if you must know. although... it looks much more 60's/70's psychedelic than 50's vintage. but oh well. the colours are right, and i think the set of 4 of them look pretty cool. jordi started painting this really really cool looking peacock on one of them last night. i am really excited to see what it looks like when she is finished. it blows my mind how good she is... every time. i should just stop being surprised and expect it from her. she's so talented.

we met the cake lady yesterday! it went great. the price she gave us is under what i was thinking would be a decent price... so... that's awesome! and talking to her about what i wanted... we were on the same page. she brought me and tyler some goodies, and they were delish. suzanne was there too to help with some suggestions and whatever (and she had a really good one). we were talking buttercream icing, fresh strawberries, pureed strawberries to make a strawberry cake layer... and all kinds of delicious things. i am really really glad that is all out of the way. she is going to make us some samples this week, and then i just have to put a deposit down. woo!

tonight is a bbq at my mom's. i don't know for sure, but i think it is kind of a birthday bbq for layne. should be fun. brady and suzanne are going to come too (because tyler and i had plans with them before we found out about the bbq... and brady and suzanne are great) and andrew's girlfriend chelle is there too apparently. i don't really know her.

this week will consist of lots and lots of sewing, and maybe a few breaks from that to weed flower beds. haha. the yard is actually looking really nice. tyler is having a hard time feeling motivated to finish up the patio (and it's so close!) because there are gaps, and he feels like it doesn't look very good. but really... it looks awesome and he shouldn't feel bummed out about it. he has worked really really hard on it.

things to acquire over the next 2 weeks are white tarps, draping fabric, white twinkle lights... and i think that is enough. i'll probably add more things to that list. oooh... i need to make the hair bands for the flower girls and find better netting for my birdcage veil and make that. jordi and i tried with what i have... and it didn't work very well. so i am going to use that for making a skirt for one of the girls in my dance class instead. i think it will work better for that.

anyway... i should get back to, you know, working... seeing as i am being paid to do that and all.
