Sassy Shoe Week

This week was designated Sassy Shoe Week by one of my co-workers here at Z. Now, I've never been big into shoes...in fact I think Dan has more than I do!

But, I didn't want to sit this festivity out, so last Friday after work I went shopping. Another thing I'm not big on is spending a lot of money on my shoes. When I lived in Texas the $3.00 flip flops at Old Navy would last me a long time (and could be worn year round :) However, now that I work in a professional environment those flip flops no longer serve a purpose. I have a few, and I'm talkin' a few, pairs of comfortable work shoes that in NO way would be classified as sassy. So I thought "out of the box" and went outside my comfort zone! (Everything I bought was on sale too!)

Take a look at our Sassy Shoes....can you pick me out?

While I have have one pair of feet, Friday's picture boasts two pairs of my shoes :)

(Co-worker wore the same pair twice and didn't want to be in the picture, so I lent her my favorite heeled sandals I keep under my desk)

Updates

(I started this post last week sometime....as you can see I never got it posted :)

Last weekend Dan & I had our bachelor/bachelorette parties (separate of course!). Dan went go-karting w/ the guys at Sugar River Raceway in Brodhead, WI. I went down to my cousin Shannon's and had an evening in w/ the girls and watched (some) of Sex and the City. It was a perfect night...exaclty what I needed/wanted! I lost my ability to bar hop several years ago, so sitting around Gormley Pub, sipping champagne and munching appetizers made for a great evening. Being the wonderful people that they are, Shannon & Michelle & my Aunt Sue (and Ann!) created a table full of yummy finger foods. Michelle had a photobook made for me w/ pictures from the shower and I got the cutest luggage tags and the movie, Sex and the City (which I'll have to watch again!). I'm getting together w/ two of my bridesmaids next (this) weekend for dinner & a few drinks...which I'm really looking forward to because I haven't seen either of them in what feels like months!

I'm still working on finishing up the programs & pew decorations. When I go down the 19th for my hair/makeup trial I hope to have it all finished & be able to take everything w/ me. Friday was our RSVP cutoff off, and I think we've received about 95% of them. We'll probably wait another week and then start working on the seating chart (UGH!)

Otherwise, things are moving along quite smoothly. Mom & Dad are going to drive up to Madison and stay w/ Dan & I for 2 nights before heading down to Illinois for the wedding. I'm super excited about that! The last time mom was in Wisconsin was back in 2003 when she brought me furniture and most of my possessions :) and Dad has never been up here to visit!

One Month!

Looks like the countdown has reached the one month mark! No longer will I be counting down the months, to me its a matter of days now....30 to be exact :)

I'd like to give myself a pat on the back for not going completely ballistic during this entire process (even though I wanted to turn Bridezilla on some people). However, looking back there are quite a few things I would have done differently!

Last night I took my wedding bands & engagement ring to the jeweler to be soldered. I'm wearing my promise ring because my finger felt completely naked and exposed w/o something on it. I also hooked up our new printer so I can finish printing the ceremony programs.

This weekend is Dan's bachelor party at Sugar River Raceway, its bound to be a blast! I have to work at Zimbrick and then I'll be heading to Illinois for my bachelorette party (thanks again Shan!). I'm bummed that my bridal party wont be there, but I'm hoping to get together w/ Porsche & Amanda a different weekend, just the three of us (and Aislinn in spirit).

It was 43 degrees this morning on my way into work and it doesn't sound like its going to get above 55 today.....so it appears that fall is definitely here!

Well, here I go, marking the days off on the calendar. I don't know which I'm more excited for....the wedding or the honeymoon! (Disneyland here we come!)

Dan sent me an email this morning w/ this link in it. It's not something I would be able to do (I embarrass easily :), but we found it very entertaining! http://www.snotr.com/video/1299
