still slacking!

what is wrong with me?!
maybe the holidays have brainwashed me to forget about the blog for days on end...
new years resolution: keep up with blog + 3 other resolutions that i have determined to take on.

there's nothing really new on the wedding planning front, but it's been a couple of weeks, so here are a couple of updates about life in general:

• many many christmas parties - ok maybe only 3. ha!


• 2nd annual wrapping party @ laing's last friday - pizza, wrapping, caramel popcorn, and snl's gilly christmas - fun times were definitely had by all


• we had the dc girls christmas party sunday over at keri's house which was awesomely decorated as always - she is one of the neatest girls that i know and so creative with everything! i got some fabulous ornaments to hang on my tree next year! AND keri was so nice to let us have one of her extra christmas trees for FREE!! i was definitely excited about this...we were planning a trip to find the cheapest tree on the day after christmas, but now i can probably go solo and find ornaments/decorations that day. ;)


• yesterday, i went to chuy's with savannah, and let me just say that i really don't quite understand why everyone hype's it up SO much, but it was really good. best part? the queso dip - i think we are going to start a love affair. sorry, thomas. ;)


• and last night, i had my first (but definitely not last) experience at sips n strokes and it was definitely a lot of fun...the painting was relatively simple, so i would like to go when there's a little bit more difficulty involoved, but i LOVED the way mine turned out! it's definitely one more decoration that we can hang up for christmas next year!

and now for upcoming events:

• tonight is christmas with my immediate family
• tomorrow is christmas with tom's immediate family
• thursday is christmas eve with my extended fam
• friday is christmas with everyone!
• saturday is shopping til i drop because i NEVER get the day after off - yay saturday!

so all in all, it's going to be a busy couple of days, but i promise that i'll keep it up soon. plus, after the first of the year, i've really got to buckle down and get some of these wedding projects done + dress shopping + planning everything else! oh lord! there's only 291 days left!! ;)
