The June LIW Small Talk Thread

[sunnyd]

I love the JH BM dresses! They''re actually quite affordable too, compared to the wedding dresses. Most I saw were in the $2-300 range.

(just kidding!)

My week has finally started to slow down, but for some reason I don''t have a lot to contribute to PS...wonder why? Those dresses are really lovely. I too like the 2nd option. Classic and simple.

Hahaha... shush, Bia!

I have those weeks too, where I just feel like I have nothing interesting to say. Thats probably most weeks.

Have you and FI started any wedding planning at all? It''d be easier if you were dress shopping because you and I are built practically the same and have the same taste in dresses!

That would just be lovely.

I know! I miss Jcar!

My job is so miserably boring and I get lonely.

My mom was *stunned* at photog cost! She refused to believe that it could cost that much.

I know. Too bad we don''t live in the same area

. Think of the ruckus we''d cause those bridal shops together

But I reserve the right to use your ideas for my wedding next year

 

[sunnyd]

It''s stupid expensive. One we looked at had a package that was $9000!!!

They (husband/wife team) must be living large.

Keep up the wedding dress talk. I love looking at all the links I just have nothing to add. It would go something along the lines of "well I''m still sitting here watching tv bored out of my mind" 5 minutes later "I let the dog out, looked in the fridge for the 50th time this morning shocked to find nothing tasty has materialized" 5 minutes later "wow, I''ve reloaded this page 19 times in 5 minutes with nothing new to read" 5 minutes later "still just watching tv". See? That would make for a boring thread from me!

HOLY S&^%!!

That is freaking *insane*!!!

I cant even imagine! I mean... I absolutely adore our photographer (She made Mimzy look AWESOME, not that she isn''t already gorgeous) and she was reasonable. We didn''t care how much she cost though.. we were dying to book her.

LOL. I don''t mind.

I just made some green tea. I''ll probably pee in about 5-10. My nose kinda itches.

You''re using her??? YAY!!!!! Are you doing e-pics?

The photographer is definitely the part I''m excited about/dreading when the time comes. Pictures are hugely important to me (you should see the effort I put in when it''s just a point and shoot on vacation), so I know a big chunk of the budget will go there. I mean, who needs flowers? Or chairs? Or food? Really, what good do those do?

Yes, we''re doing e-pics. Even though they''ll be roughly 2 months before the wedding.

Im emailing back/forth with her right now trying to figure out a date to shoot!

Im seriously with you, Princesss. I had talked myself out of flowers and cake. My mom had to put her foot down... maybe I was being a bit too logical with the whole wedding thing. I was organizing it like it was an assmebly line.

I WILL be getting cake and flowers. Even though I really just need awesome pictures.

 

[sunnyd]

Yayyy I loved Mimzy''s epics...she never did post the wedding pros though!

Really? Hmm.

I saw them on her FB... but I didn''t realize she hadn''t posted them.

They were awesome, for the record.

Bahaha the guy cleaning our windows is singing! 10 stories up and singing his head off. Hahaha!

LOL.

What''s he singing?

 

[sunnyd]

I can''t tell...it''s really more like yelling.

Hahahhaa. Poor guy. Thats how I sound.

I hate to say it, but I envy him right now. Its gorgeous out here, and I''d love to be outside, washing windows, singing my head off.

 

[sunnyd]

Me too! Our clouds are kinda burning away...slowly. I see sun!

 

[Lauren8211]

We have some serious sun going on today.

I''m thinking about skipping lunch and going home at 4, seeing as how its already 1:30 and I''m not particularly hungry.

 

[stepcutgirl]

Elle-Where is your wedding going to be? Isn''t that photographer in Florida?

 

[sunnyd]

Do it, do it, do it!

Mimzy''s photog is in Michigan. agirlinlove.com

Wedding will be in Michigan!

Definitely leaving at 4.

 

[stepcutgirl]

Ooooooohhhhhh. I was thinking you were using mmm's photographer in Florida. That's oops and/or my bad.

ETA-I just looked at that web site and I LOVE those pics!

 

[princesss]

I can''t wait for this week to be over. I can''t wait to get to VA tonight.

Things I have to do before leaving:
-Dishes
-Pack
-Get thank you/giftcard for emergency cat sitter
-Play with and snuggle kitties

Totally do-able in 2.5 hours, right? Of course right!

I don''t know. I would probably put 2 hours towards play/cuddle kittehs.

That only leaves 30 minutes for the rest.

 

[princesss]

Elle, as always, I like the way you think.

 

[Lauren8211]

My kitties are always the priority. I make lots of time before I leave for a weekend to spend with them, because I really miss them if I''m gone for more than like 12 hours.

Sometimes I wonder if it''s unhealthy. I''ve actually wanted to come home from a vacation because I missed the cats so much.

 

[misskitty]

Totally understand about making time for the kitties! We''re the kind of people who would almost rather skip out on a trip if we can''t bring the pug.

 

[misskitty]

Also, LOVE that photog''s website! Sooo pretty.

 

[princesss]

We like to bring the dog everywhere. Gotta keep him well socialized, right? But personally I have no issues leaving my animals for vacation. I just make sure they get extra love before and after. I need trips to keep my sanity, and a

mama is no good for kitties!
