Is normal. But someone said that it is going to be cold with freezing precipitation for the next few days and that makes all of North Texas go into gridlock, people rush to the store and stock up on batteries/bottled water/canned food and everyone drives like a bunch of idiots. Even worse than when it is raining (see Pet Peeve #4). Awesome.
Plus the area has the lovely addition of the Super Bowl in town this weekend. The crazies have already started arriving and that will make it worse. At lease the folks from Pittsburgh and Green Bay will know how to drive in a little ice (unlike the locals).
*sigh*

Weeeeeeeeeeeee!
So after the Piggy Event, which the manfolk says drives him crazy, he gave me this keychain. Now I have a constant reminder that makes me smile.
Oh and when you squeeze it it poops.

Unconventional Wedding
To match my unconventional wedding I am having an unconventional bridal party. My littlest brother is my maid of honor, my middle brother is a bridesmaid and Dennis (of NSFD) is my other bridesmaid.
So of course we are doing unconventional things to celebrate.
Right now we are plotting how to: get a slew of Jimmy Buffett shirts, a new tattoo and possibly skydive all in the three days we have planned for a flying standby across the country adventure. And at the end we plan to be on the beach where we will meet the manfolk and some friends for a day (or so) in the sun.
Should be a big bag of random.

My own mission
A good friend of mine asked me to be in her wedding in April, then we have ours on the beach in July. After ordering the dresses I have decided that it is time to be serious about getting rid of some weight.
So starting this past Monday I have scheduled with a friend to go at least twice a week for classes (it is easier when someone else goes too - accountability and guilt suck), dug the treadmill out of storage (happened naturally in the move but I actually plugged it in), promised the puppy we would start walking more and I am going to work on my food choices.
I love to eat - and I am a total bitch on a diet, so I promised not to do that to myself (or the manfolk). I am going to be choosier about what I eat but not starve or refuse myself stuff that makes me happy.
And increase my water intake. I suck at drinking water. Given a choice I would mainline diet coke with a side of coffee and sugar-free redbull. My Team at work has been helping me with this part for the last few weeks. 60 oz a day minimum and they hold me to it. I feel like I spend half of the day peeing, but whatever - it's good for me.
The goal is to lose 30 lbs by my wedding. Very do-able. If I starved myself I could do it by my friend's wedding in April. Going to weigh in each Monday to gauge how things are going. We shall see.

The little piggy...
So as part of the new year's resolution adventure of trying new things the manfolk decided that trying a new position in the bedroom would qualify. Always up for an adventure I agreed. So we are trying this new thing (sorry Dennis) and I happened to say "Weeee!" and then fell into fits of laughter. Then the manfolk said I sounded like the little pig on the Geico commercial.
Needless to say we were too busy giggling the rest of the evening to attempt any more nekkid adventures, and I don't think we will be trying that position again.
Good lord, I still giggle. And when the manfolk is in a mood I just need to lean over and go "Weeeeeeeeeeeeee"
