More on the To-Do List...

The To-Do list is getting a little shorter these days. I would like to get the majority of this vendor stuff done before x-mas, but the other stuff (like welcome baskets?, etc.) I think I can get done during the long winter weekends that we love here in Chicago.

Before x-mas...
1. Invitations (pretty much done design-wise, but have changed a couple things to delay this process even more. Remember the bridesmaids dress fiasco - lets just say it is starting down that path. I just need to stand by my decision)
2. Transportation
3. Hair and make-up (I think I have this one set. I have wooed my long-time hairstylist to do my hair along with my bridesmaids)
4. Live music for the ceremony (This is coming from my mother. Being a music major in college, she about fell over when I jokingly said that I was just going to have my IPod playing in the background. She is willing to fork over some moolah to pay for a quartet. Damn...why didn't I think of this sooner? Maybe then she would have coughed up even more if I told her I was going naked instead of wearing a dress...).

Good news...I lost four pounds this week. Not because I was exercising or eating right. Because I was so swamped at work that I never ate!

Bad news - I went to the Illinois-Arizona game at the United Center today and ate a hot dog and a pretzel and shared nachos with a friend. Yeah...I think I gained it all back.
