She's So Lucky

... "she" is me. I have so much to be thankful for, and it's not even Thanksgiving. A few reasons I've been so damn "gushy" as of late. (Read 'em and you just might understand.)

1) My boss is better than your boss. Being a Henson minion is so freakin' rad. I will be forever grateful for this experience.

2) Le hub and I are in talks to purchase our very own adult home. Don't want to jinx ourselves, so I'm not posting any photos or providing any details about location, but let's just say we are excited. Like, hearts pulsating out of our eyeballs excited!

3) New York bound. Vacay!!! Yes, I'm braving the storms to meet le hub in colder turf. Alas, this love is serious.

4) Max Wanger. He has sent us our wedding photos, and they are beyond wonderful. To be posted. Naturally.

The Bird and the Bee

There will be a lot of handmade goodness (like this blingin' cake topper) at le cub and cougar wedding because we're just cool like that. It's no Small Object topper (click HERE to see what I'm referring to), but this ghetto six-dollar version is more us anyway :)

Had a couple of friends over last night for a wine tasting. Yes, how adult of us. Noooo, we haven't gone fancy-pants. The tasting was for the wedding. We wanted to hang out with some old buddies while double-checking the bottles le cub picked out from Bevmo. Don't want to serve crappy wine, that's all. Dinner consisted of a hearty mac n cheese and parmesan roasted garlic followed by banana cream pudding. Not a meal for the lactose-intolerant.

Finally, our friend Dave (we came over to help us do our wine homework) introduced us to a musical duo called "The Bird and the Bee". They cover lots of 80s songs (think Hall and Oates). LOVE IT! Thank you, DKim, for the recommendation. NOW, I have to coolest iPod mix.

It's the Final Countdown

9 . The number of hours until le cub and I head on over the courthouse to pick up our license to wed! Tomorrow's a lucky, Chinese Lunar calendar approved day, no less...

2. The number of days I've got left at Buddy System Studios. I owe the guys there some Chinese pickles.

1. The number of full weeks left until le cub and I get hitched. I'm waiting for the non-toxic paint on our wedding cake topper to dry as I type this entry. Yup... unfinished handmade goodness!... Josh has no mouth because the joy surrounding this occasion has left him speechless..........
