back from the dead...kinda

today was my first day out of bed since tuesday. i feel better but my nose and ears are still clogged and my voice sounds really weird. but i think it gives me character! oh and i'm still totally tired so i just woke up from a nap and it's 5pm! ugh. i ran into a neighbor who told me that he thought he had the flu once and it turned out to be a blood infection. um, hello???? doesn't he know who he's talking to? now i'm going to run around thinking i have a blood infection!

anyway- my planner emailed me today to tell me that all 3 photographers i was interested in are all available on our wedding date (yay)! except apparently i only responded to one and not the other 2. whoops! now i have to find those emails again...

while i was sick and bored out of my mind with cabin fever, i somehow managed to start applying to free honeymoon contests. i can't decide where i want to go (of course) and it looks like we can't afford one anyway, so i figured if we won one- then it would all be solved without me having to make any decisions!

of course, look at this ad? i had to choose between hawaii or mexico before i even entered the contest! "click here for hawaii, click here for mexico." luckily, my sister went to hawaii and i am dead set on not doing the same thing as her. plus, hawaii = flying over a lot of water, so mexico was an easy choice here. phew!

anyway, check out these twig napkin rings (right). i want something like this but not black...i'd want it to look more realistic. this looks kinda fake, doesn't it?

i love these brown glitter candles! (behind the polka dotted one).

aren't these monogrammed drink stirrers cute? and i think they're in hot apple cider!

lastly, how cute is this photo????

back 2 bed 4 me.

my latest worry

so i'm sick. ugh. besides the fact that i threw my back out last week and was pretty much in bed all weekend because of it, i managed to catch a cold that has now turned into a full blown icky sickness of some kind. my nose is stuffed, my chest is heavy, i feel achey and overall downright exhausted. here's where my worry comes into play- this is most likely due to stress. the whole back thing was total stress but i've also been working on a project at work that has been emotionally and physically SO draining. i'm a videogame writer and i'm seriously on a nightmarish project right now. i love what i do (seriously, i do) and i've been facing something i didn't think i ever would before: a difficult project that i've grown to loathe. so here's my real worry: what if this happens to me the week of my wedding?!!!! i'm sure i'll be totally stressed out. i hope i don't get sick or throw my back out that week! agh!!!!

anyway- happy times! back to wedding stuff!

i found this adorable cake topper! but what's with the polka dots?

i like this candle with the cranberries! maybe we should do this on our fireplace mantle? yes, we have a fireplace at the venue!



i love the idea of guests throwing these rose petals as we walk down the aisle, but my mom said this isn't a very jewish thing to do. :-(



i don't know what kind of material is behind this menu, but i like the looks of it! uber elegant!



i like this sign. i'm not sure why. maybe i just like the idea of a sign?

ok, bedtime for me!
