you know it's June when...

all the channels on TV that are geared toward women are showing lots of wedding themed shows... darn them for making a girl dreamy! and all i wanted was to watch The Golden Girls and What Not to Wear... but i did find out that Disney World has a wedding area at some of the resorts... and for a minimal fee of $70,000 you can have your dream Princess wedding (complete with disney characters at your reception) at Disney World! They had some more economical options as well, but the wedding they were showcasing was $70,000, and that didn't include the cost of the dress, or rooms at the resort for getting ready... whew... if i had that kind of money, i think i could find something better to do with it... of course, if i marry james, we're going to have to sell body parts and such to have a wedding lavish enough for 2 divas! LOL!

yesterday was kind of a bad day for me... i didn't have to work (which was nice) but i was feeling wonky all day... i have been eating like crap, and not at all motivated to workout... our internet had been out for several days, so my communications with chris have been limited (and that always makes me wonky)... and then i saw Jill's pics from the wedding... and while they were super good, and brough back happy memories, the pictures of me were terrible... i knew i looked like a sausage in that dress, and those pics prove it... they were so unflattering, and of course, when i saw them i just wanted to eat myself into a hole... i actually cried... it's been a long time since i've been that unhappy with my body... so after having a pity party last night, i got up this morning and spent 2 hours at the gym... and it was great... so hopefully, those pictures were just what i needed to kick my butt back in gear...

tomorrow, i'm going to meet with potential roommates near where i could be working in a couple of months... and even if something happens and i don't get that job, it's still a few miles closer to where i work now... my plan is to move August 5th, so hopefully i find something/someone i like tomorrow... i'll keep ya posted!

okay, back to the wedding shows... Food Network is showing Designer Wedding Cake Challenge... yummy!

Princess...

You looked great in that dress. I know I'm supposed to say that, but you really did look good.

National Cathedral rental, Josh Groban to sing as we both walk separately down the aisle, The Cathedral completely adorned in orchids a Bently to wisk us off, Paul Oakenfold DJ'ing at the reception which is located at the Kennedy Center. You're completely accented in Harry Winston.... this could work. Let's have a yard sale next weekend!

honey, we're going to have to sell everything that's not nailed down... if our families start to missing stuff, we don't know what happened to it... *shifty eyes*

April-
You most certainly did NOT look like a sausage in that dress.....you looked absolutely fabulous and I DON'T have to say that unless it's true!!! Argh - I'm gonna kick your butt! Everyone here is still raving about how gorgeous you are and that dress was killer on you!

And don't even think about giving up....just get back into the groove because you have a cruise to look forward to. Come on, girl.

Whoo boy, Jill is gonna have a stroke when she reads your stuff and I can just hear her going off on you, girl!!!

We love you.

*prepares for a lashing with a wet noodle*

okay, so i know i've done really well so far, and i'm not giving up... the rest of the pictures of me from that weekend were good... i guess, like with most people, there are just some unflattering pictures out there... even mega stars can look bad sometimes...

but good did come of seeing those photos - my butt has been kicked back into workout mode... i'll be smokin' by the time the cruise comes around!

Ok, here comes the wet noodle! GIRL, you looked like a $70,000 princess!!!!!!!!! You were a BABE! Don't you dare go saying you looked like a sausage! Not even a sausage link! You were (are) gorgeous!!!! I was eating my heart out when I saw you. I wanted to be just like you!
Don't do anymore butt kicking. Just leg kicking or kick boxing or kinky shoes kicking or whatever. But not your butt.
Hugs!!!!!
And if you and James need funds for your wedding, we can do another Jillybay auction. That was fun! I'm just needing a reason to start it up again!!!
