So this weekend was filled with much basketball watching and going to Bennett's friends wedding shower. My bracket hasn't taken much of a beating, although Pitt almost lost today which would have destroyed it, seeing as how I picked those guys to win it all. I haven't had much luck with Wake Forest losing, which sort of screwed me in the eight, and I really would like Louisville to lose, but I don't see that happening, unfortunately with 35 seconds left and they are up by 5. Boo.
I met a couple of Bennett's friends last night, all people he went to high school with, and then a few of the oldies that I had met before. Then, apparently in my St. Patricks day blabber I blurted out that I wanted to go to the Blue Iguana down in Prattville. And nobody else was too enthused with this idea, but since I had committed, we went. And it was a blast! C and I had a fun time dancing with the band and doing some crazy line dancing.
NOthing much else interesting has happened, so I think I'm done, because there is only 17 seconds left, and Louisville is up 4.
Long time no see

Hmmm...a pleasant blast from the past? Very pleasant. Hope all is well with you too.
So maybe a month ago when we went to ATL for our first engagement party, we went to IKEA. And there was a dresser there, and I was all like no I don't need it, blah blah. But super cute, super cheap, I left atlanta without it.
So yesterday we drive into town again to see Robin and Steve. This time Bennett gets me the dresser as a belated birthday gift instead of the bikes we were going to get, and put it together and it looks great in the bedroom!
We have finally picked out the wedding rings, and the only thing left for us to do is to help bennett find some groomsman's gifts, and to find some labels and bags for the candy buffet. I'm going to start addressing the invites at the end of this month, so they can be out by the first week of april. I can't believe that there is almost only 3 months left to go. It was so long ago that we had an entire year to prepare for all of this.
I still have to figure out what to do with my hair (super excited about extensions!), and what to do with the makeup, but other than that, the wedding planning has gone beautifully and I have yet to turn into one of those crazy bridezillas that are on the show. But....did anyone really think I would have?

Snow in Alabama
1.3.09
So, it snowed this morning. That has made two years in a row for me living here. Of course it's already all melted and gone, but it was pretty while it lasted. And at least I can say it snowed here.
The work thing is going well so far; at least it seems like to me it does. Sometimes I still think that I'm the outcast of the place. I try to be like them sometimes at work, but get nothing but weird looks and faces that look like I said something dumb. Like on our conference call last week, I was in JLo's office, and all the people were bitching about the new project, except for Birmingham district. I was trying to be like they all are, but it just didn't seem to be working out for me. They wanted me to make the district look good, and I am trying my hardest; I have never worked so hard for this company in my life. It's discouraging when I get an email from someone else in the country complimenting how well I'm doing, and nothing good comes of it. I forward it on to the important people, and......nothing. It's so frustrating not being praised for a job well done.
It really makes me want to cry, because I honestly don't know what else to do.
