what a weekend.
the second of the "meet the parents". it went really well. it seems as though all of the parents got along famously. yesterday at lunch, my dad was yapping at ed and barbara was yapping at ruthanne and i looked at john and said, "wow. look at the in-laws go." neither of us could get a word in.
did anyone else watch the grammys? first of all, it's kind of weird to see john mayer WIN a grammy when a little over a year ago he was opening for OAR. he seemed really humble when he accepted his award. it was actually refreshing to see for a change. of course, john was a little bitter about mayer winning since he HATES him. oh, well. his loss! :)

how bout my dad asking me if i wanted this band at our wedding?
finally. a reality show with an outcome i predicted!
yay, ryan!
in wedding news...
my dad has become the wedding dictator. we got a couple rooms at the hotel with a "friends & family" discount. this rate is HALF of what the wedding party rate is, and offered to us because my dad's next door neighbor is the gm of the place. anyway. last night, my dad told me about said discount. he also told me that HIS side of the family will be offered those rooms, first. and THEN he'll offer them to my mom and john's parents. he's such a jerk sometimes. needless to say, i got really upset with him and called him the wedding dictator. he was PISSED off. but seriously. ANY parents regardless of what side they are on should be offered those rooms, first.

i think i am becoming one of those people who talks about their pet non stop.
that's not a good thing, by the way.
maybe it's not as easy as i thought to have a puppy. oliver woke us up every hour - all night. needless to say, i am a ZOMBIE this morning. i can't wait until he sleeps through the night!
must. get. sleep.

what was once a dream, is now a reality.
i guess it pays to whine about getting a dog.
my valentine's day present was...a beagle. we've named him oliver theodore dunn. drop me a line if you want to see some pictures of the little rascal! he is adorable.
*sigh* i am so spoiled.
happy valentine's day! we're not doing too much tonight - just having a quiet night at home. john's making chicken marsala and some other goodies, too.
i vowed to not go crazy since we just had a big christmas and we've got to be saving for the wedding. can't really say i stuck to my guns. :)
not much else going on this weekend. i am going to try and twist *someone's* arm to see chicago - if not, it'll be a weekend of vegging and relaxing. those weekends aren't so bad, though.

emily found a beagle last night. he hung out at the office all day today and i really thought that i was going to be able to take him home.
lucky for him, his owner just called and is on her way to pick him up.
lucky for me, john said we could keep him if his owner didn't call - so, i guess that means we're ready for a dog!

squint your eyes and look closer
i'm not between you and your ambition
i am a poster girl with no poster
i am thirty-two flavors and then some
and i'm beyond your peripheral vision
so you might want to turn your head
cause someday you're going to get hungry
and eat most of the words you just said
both my parents taught me about good will
and i have done well by their names
just the kindness i've lavished on strangers
is more than i can explain
still there's many who've turned out their porch lights
just so i would think they were not home
and hid in the dark of their windows
till i'd passed and left them alone
and god help you if you are an ugly girl
course too pretty is also your doom
cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
for the prettiest girl in the room
and god help you if you are a phoenix
and you dare to rise up from the ash
a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
while you are just flying past
i'm not trying to give my life meaning
by demeaning you
and i would like to state for the record
i did everything that i could do
i'm not saying that i'm a saint
i just don't want to live that way
no, i will never be a saint
but i will always say
squint your eyes and look closer
i'm not between you and your ambition
i am a poster girl with no poster
i am thirty-two flavors and then some
and i'm beyond your peripheral vision
so you might want to turn your head
cause someday you might find you're starving
and eating all of the words you said
last night, i went to go look at my dress again - i think i love it more than i did before. i am going to be one hot bitch at my wedding.
i've been thinking a lot about all of my friends, lately. i am missing them more than ever now. it's weird going through all of these emotions and not having anoying other than john and emily to share it with. at first, i thought about getting a part time job but now - i just think that would add more stress than anything else. i just miss being social and hanging with the girls every once and a while.
ANYWAY. i think that it's going to be a long day. good thing i have dawson's and the bachelorette to look forward to this evening!

certain things make me upset.
like finding out something that was going to happen but isn't, anymore. i guess it's the thought that counts, right?
and...i am really bummed that joe millionaire was a cliff hanger last night. i wonder what the twist will be? do you think he really is a millionaire? rumor is that he met someone else at a coffee shop and fell in love with her. i really hope he doesn't choose sara because she is ANNOYING as all get out. the fact that he can't see that she is totally in it for the g's blows my mind.
also, they are casting for temptation islad 3! can i get a roooooooooooooooooooooot???

i found my dress! ironically, it was the very first dress i tried on. i absolutely love it beyond words.
the funny thing is, it's nothing like what i thought i wanted. and of course, i can't give you a description because my groom reads this site! actually, i have decided that only the moms, my sis and will see it before the big day. i'm trying to build up aniticpation!!!!
the weekend has actually been really nice. it's really cool to have my sister and my mom here to help me with all of the dress hunting...and just to have around, in general. last night we made a pact that we would do this every year. one weekend with just the three girls.
we're off to lunch with john's mom and dad!(and john, too - i've hardly seen him this weekend!)

i think it's odd when major family events happen, yet no one tells me.
it makes me feel as though i am so distant, people actually *forget* to mention things to me.

ok, so i am obsessed. i bought this yesterday.
i figured it was about time - i need some sort of exercise before the wedding!
Tuesday, February 04, 2003
today, emily got hit on by some guy who found one of our nextels. he even asked her to lunch. then he asked her if she was alone in her office or if she was somewhere everyone could see her. in.te.re.st.ing.
coldplay, tonight!
