Keeping it Real: Friday Style

Sorry for this postless week. Here's a keepin it real Friday edition to bookend the week.

Viet's away visiting his mom this weekend. His brother and dad are away at a wedding, and she asked him to come and stay with her. very cute.

It is both lonely and liberating when he is gone. I don't sleep well by myself anymore, and I don't get my hug quotient. But I do get to turn all the lights on when I get up in the morning and play music while I'm getting ready.  Usually I get up before him, so I have to get ready ninja style.

Today my mood is calm but a little unsettled. A lot of big changes happened this week. Two dear friends left work to pursue other things, and it's left me thinking (as I always do when sudden change occurs) about my goals for myself and things I want to accomplish.

This weekend I'll be spending a lot of time with friends. I'm going to a fun girls' night tonight and hanging with Lisa tomorrow to watch lots of catch up true blood and drink mimosas and tea. Then I'm heading up to San Rafael to celebrate Anya's awesome first birthday.

Amidst all the fun, I have some personal things I'd like to accomplish:

For the Blog

• give you all an update on how I did on my July goals
• give some hard thought to my August goals
• work on new banner, buttons/categories, and series for the blog makeover (I am SO excited about all of this)
• Plan out my posts for next week

Random

• FIND MY CAMERA BATTERY CHARGER before I go insane so I can take pics of all the fun activities this weekend
• finish up some thank you notes
• do all the laundry and get the apt. nice and sparkly while Viet is gone

Wedding

I feel as though we are behind in wedding planning. I know we are still 10 months out, but we haven't done anything besides book the church and reception venue. It's a bit difficult because Viet has been super busy at work, and I can't move on a lot of the things I would like to without his input. I also haven't had any time lately to get organized in regards to wedding planning, so I'm hoping to scrape out some time to at least think about this. The things that are on my list of  pressing wedding to-dos are:

• Make a spreadsheet of all the photographers we have talked about and thought about with pricing and pro/cons
• Make a skype date with our planner Alice to start talking about many things including Caterers
• I still need to make a timeline and plot out all the projects we want to do and when we need to do them
• Save the Dates! I want these puppies to go out Early.
• room blocks. We have one, but I want to do some research on a few more.

That's all for now. hmm Sounds like a lot to me. Let's see if I have time to squeeze all of this in this weekend. No wonder I  haven't been finding enough time to exercise or read my goal books. :)

Hope your weekend is divine.
