December 2005

And Christmas insanity is a whirlwind gaining speed and momentum. I seriously wish that utilities would give a Christmas present to their customers and say "hey - don't worry "bout paying us until January"... and that includes my landlord! Oh well - 'tis the season of wishing.
At any rate - we've picked the tuxedos from Mr. Tux - VERY nice and I like them alot. Best of all the sales rep was amazingly nice - hugging Rob and I, and just mothering us. Too sweet - props to Sheila at the Square One Mall :)
In other wedding news, my funniest Christmas card thus far came from my cousin Jeff and was addressed to Bridezilla and Groom Monster at my address - and it actually got to me! I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry that the postman knew this. (Given that I am in a multi unit apartment building)
I've seen some nice invitations as well as program covers, but that's a January/February kind of thing. My FMIL - the MOG Darlene cannot wait to being "being crafty" and helping me do the centerpieces and favors. (By the way - FMIL = Future Mother In Law and MOG = Mother of Groom)
So that's where we are. My first Christmas as an engaged lady, my last Christmas with my maiden name.... wow.... Rob continues to amaze me. We've promised to take it easy with Christmas gifts - and of course he calls me Diamond Lil and tells me not to count on any more jewelry! I still love him. :)
