agrestic yet majesstic

so I want to make this a shorty. here goes:

ROSES to all my bridesmaids and mom for putting on such a lovely bridal shower yesterday :) also, ROSES to all my friends and family members that came! my boss even came with her daughter. it was cute. waaaaaayyyy too hot (in fact, the sun gets a bushel of thorns) but still enjoyable. Andy and I took with us a full carload and left about half still at mom's... we put away everything but I have no clue where we will put everything else. we'll just have to Tim Gunn it and "make it work!" (speaking of which, PR returns this week!)

ROSES to almost being done with all the wedding planning. i.cannot.wait.for.this.to.be.over. I'm pretty sure if I was offered a ridiculous salary to be a wedding planner, even like a million dollars per year I would not take it, especially since I'd be dealing with other people's crap and bitchiness. soooo close to being finished!

and it's taking me too long to think up anything to for thorns so it must be a good day!

sionara!

so i'm in a way better mood (thankfully) than last time i blogged.

so, first off: THORNS to living the married life because i realized i gained double the amount of laundry until death do us part... and if children are added into that... even more! not cool!

another thing i realized today is that i'm gaining a permanent shopping partner for the rest of my life. ROSES to Andy for loving and even asking to go shopping :)

and as for some of my problems this week, MAJOR THORNS to my father being a bridezilla and making demands, and actually having the audacity to say that this wedding is not my wedding but his... where's the logic in that statement? Andy and I are paying about $4-5,000 more than he is and my mother for that matter as well, yet they're calling all the shots (even the ones they're not paying for!). I really wish we could call it off and elope but it is too far in to do that now. I think I'd be completely fine if I never talk to my father again either because he's making the supposed "happiest day of our lives" completely and utterably miserable. i'm pretty sure there won't be a father-daughter dance because i can't imagine putting on such a facade in front of that many people for the lenght of even the shortest appropriate song. come to think of it, dad gets a thorn bush.

lastly, ROSES to our new flat screen tv purchase. at first, i was wary about it and thought it was too much and that our previous tv worked fine. the picture is a lot clearer and it's not as bulky (obviously). i did, however, lose the spot on top of the tv where I had a few picture frames :(

and the washer just went off. time for more laundry!

ciao bellas.

well, life has sure been interesting in the past few weeks. I've had a few job interviews and was offered one job. I took it back to my job where they made me a counter offer and pretty much let me name my price and they said ok, done. it was awesome and so well worth it, it just sucks that I had to go through all that trouble of sending out my resume 92394723497 times to get what I deserved for the past, oh, seven months?! ever since then I've been a bit happier though because mostly I know I'm going to get to give away the crap aspects of my job that I don't like.

as for the wedding, we've made some progress. Andy and I had our cake tasting and picked our cake. it's going to be cute. it's a filigree design, mostly white, with a little bit of purple color that is almost the same color purple as the bridesmaids dresses. also, we had our flower appointment and that is just ridiculous. they are going to look good but it's just insane how everything gets so costly when you mention the word "wedding" or "funeral" people rape you, your wallet, and anyone else in the near area when they hear those words.

in other words... I designed a sweet program for the wedding. all by myself. I plan to print it at work, muhahahaha, whenever... probably September. oh, also for the wedding I booked a contract for a hotel. Now I need to find transport from the hotel to the venue that is not like 1 grand. ridiculous.

all of this makes me wish we could just elope but now we are way too far in to do that now.

it does not feel like it is July. the weather is gross but not gross like typical July weather. in fact, South Jersey had an earthquake yesterday... yeah, South Jersey! I have never seen so much rain in all my life. It rains like everyday. Thankfully it hasn't yet today but the forecast all day was thunder storms. grateful for it to have been sunny but man, there's been maybe like 5 clear days since May? I don't really think that is that much an exaggeration to be honest.

in other news, I am getting another cat tomorrow! the name is Colby and I'm rescuing it from a coworker who had her boyfriend move in with her and he is deathly allergic. she was going to have to give him to the SPCA if no one would take him and I knew she was having a hard time finding a home so I agreed to take him. didn't really have to twist my arm to be honest. he is four years old, supposedly skinny, and black and white :) sounds super cute. I keep telling the fat boy that he's getting a friend tomorrow but I don't think he understands.

and kind of stemming off of this, my boss, Milla, told me that there are such things as pet psychologists that counsel your animals. her friend does this for her dog after they got divorced because the dog was suffering from anxiety disorder. that, my friends, must be the most bullshit job in the existence of jobs. and I kind of want to do it. like what do you do in session, just talk to him and are like yeah, I really thinkg we're making a breakthrough. ridic.

alright, going to go and sweat to death watching CSI Miami, my second favorite ginger. (first being Thomas, of course :D )

I've delayed updating for a while because I didn't feel like writing, but since Andypants is hungover like whoa and sleeping away the day, I have exhausted my internet entertainment means and resulted to this.

We went back to mom's house for the first time since we moved out. A bit strange actually. The hardwood floors she had put in were finished and they look really good. It makes the house a lot louder when you're in the basement but I don't have to worry about that anymore since I'm not there. I made a gin bucket for people to drink and Andy and myself divulged probably a bit too much. It was delicious and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Strange thing though, I don't like gin at all! Go figure.

Mom was suppose to be away in Atlantic City for the weekend seeing Fleetwood Mac but they decided to come home last night/this morning at 230AM... which meant that Andy and I then had to sleep on the floor which was totally awesome... riiiight. My hip is killing me and I feel like I know what it is to be a receiver of a hip replacement now. Also, I stepped on a rusty nail. I really hope tetanus vaccines do their job!

And so I've finally uploaded pics of the apt. I posted an album on facebook but might as well put some of them on here.

Jcarosello's Geek Chart

So it's officia that I'm a twitter geek.

PS: this blog entry courtesy of blackberry... And my hatred for my job.

Andy is at the LPGA tour helping out. He texted me his fancy badge. That's pretty sweet... And I believe he has a press pass because he is working at the media tents. Way cooler than anything I do here.

And on that note, I should probably stop procrastinating and go back to my awful disgrace of a job.

Will blog later about the shitshow bike race yesterday.

Ciao!

ok so this update is strictly because i'm bored and don't know what else to do with myself while andy is asleep. that man can sleep like rip van winkle.

but yeah, i've exhausted twitter and facebook, mostly because no one in their right mind has their biological clock set to grandma. i tried playing with thomas but all he wants to do is be lazy and sleep. go figure.

so i'm ordering the invitations soon. i need to call tomorrow and ask to see how long it will take but yeah, that's a bit exciting. here's an example of what it will sort of look like. mine is personalized from this, obvi.


so yeah. now all i really need is to settle the photographer debacle. me vs. mother round 972492734. i have a feeling she'll win because it's her wedding and all. makes sense. and it's her money that's paying for it. lemme check on that. johnny says no!

and with this, i'll leave you with a pic of my lovely fat boy, thomas.



sianara, suckers :P

so, it's been a while. i'm not good at this whole blog thing just yet.

i was thinking about what i should write about in here... my only real thought was peanut butter and how amazing it is and for me to just write all the different ways it's fabulous but then realized truly no one would read this then.

i think i'm just going to be as uncouth and politically incorrect as possible and just post things that i think are cool. such as this:

http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=7728886&page=1

i particularly love this because American Girl made a big deal that they were making a Jewish doll... and now it's named after a terrorist on the FBI most wanted list, **womp, womp, womp** name fail! sucks to be them!

and this, this is making my panties moist!!! why do i have to wait until july? should have been out in NOVEMBER, f'ing bitches!!!

seriously, i'm going at midnight, i don't care if i'm 23 and andy thinks i'm a lunatic. i probably am. get over it.

as for in my life, the apt. is coming along. thomas, the fattie, manages to keep finding hiding spots which is amazing because he's large and there's not that many spots to hide. kind of makes me nervous.

we went out last night with one of my sorostitute sorority sisters that lives in the area... the bars were a bit meh. all seemed to be dead. most likely because of the bike race that's going on this weekend and the nonstop blockparty that shuts down the town. but yeah, we were out for like an hour or two and some and andy was being a party pooper so we left and decided to walk back... which ended up being over a mile when he mapped it when we got home. lemme check on the fun status on the funometer. yeah, scoring a big fat ZERO. oh well, we did it and probably wouldn't be a bad walk if it wasn't at 1230AM and we like knew the area a bit? whatever, dunzo with it.

and with that, ladies and gents, i am dunzo with this post.

so this will be short and sweet, just like a sugar coated midget.

ok, that wasn't really right but whatever, when was I ever known to be politically correct?

recently moved from nowheresville to manayunk. the apple of my eye, andy, and I went out exploring tonight throughout the neighborhood and found out that andy has a knack for not seeing/stopping at stop signs so that promptly ended the fun in exploring. maybe we'll have better luck on foot in the future.

this whole moving out thing though is a bit odd. feels a bit like an indefinite vacation that I have to keep paying for. I hope to post pics soon but the place still looks like a cardboard fort exists in the hallway.

this weekend should be fun and interesting as it's the annual bike race in manayunk and it becomes one big shitshow block party. the only time there was anything fun in perkiomenville was... never. yeahhh.

and with that, you stay classy WWW.
