Wedding Messages...

So next Saturday, my cousin Dan, is getting married back in Johnstown. Of course, the California Crew is packing up and heading east for a long weekend. I just spent the better part of an hour online trying to decide on a wedding gift from the registry. It is amazing to me how long it takes me to decide on a gift. Once I finally decided on a gift (a wine rack, for a nice California flair) I had the horrendous task of the gift message.

So I got this far... Congratulations Dan and Heather! (Brain Freeze) Why does my brain come to an absolute halt at what I am going to say next. I am a COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST for crying out loud, but when it comes to writing a note to accompany a wedding gift, I can't string five words together to come up with a coherent sentence.

So what do I do in these situations? I turn to google. What does Google suggest? Poems. I like poetry as much as the next person, but it seems cliche. Metaphors galore. Two ships sailing in the night... (Scratch that) Love is... (Gag) I even thought about citing Frost, but in the end, I decided to not be completely lame. I also know Dan to well to not even try for something with a 9 on the cheesy scale.

So in the end, I decided on...

"Congratulations Dan and Heather! I look forward to celebrating with you at your wedding!"

Pretty generic, but in the end I don't know what you are suppose to say on these cards... and all of the social graces that go with it.

This coming weekend should be quite interesting. Both sides of the family...

Moving on up...

Don't worry, its just down the street. But a lot to do in the next few weeks, and I don't really have my weekends. Gah!

Another week...

So this week has been pretty stressful. A whole lot of stress that I was not totally prepared. Not that you are ever really prepared for your stress, but I do realize that I am apt to overreact. My heart races, I can't stop replaying things in my head no matter how many times people (namely Erica) tell me that I am being ridiculous. In this economy, I am so terrified of losing my job that I can't ever really think about doing something else.

But that is what is going on in the world, and I am an adult in this world, and will have to deal with what happens like an adult, right? Of course, adults suck it up and deal a little bit more than I do... maybe that needs to be added to my list of things I need to work on.

But I am working on bettering myself, and my new job starts a week from Friday. Woo-hoo!

In other news, I am down 10.2 and am feeling more svelte than I have in quite a while. So this has to mean that things are coming together for me, right?
