it's sunday. all i want to do is lay in bed and watch re-runs of project runway on hulu. my body wants to rest. i'm getting lots of aches and pains again. my back has been in terrible pain all weekend and my knees are a wreck. my arms are even starting to ache a little, which is not normal for them. i really need to get back into working out...it's tough when all you want to do is sleep!
i'm sitting here, back in my PJs, wearing dann's zip front hoodie, just being comfy. i like being comfy. especially lately that i've been feeling so tired and achy. i wish it would go away. the aches have been here for a few years now. i'm 26. i shouldn't ache all over. it's getting to the point that the 2 aleve i take every day doesn't seem to be helping much. it also doesn't help that my prescription for my nasal spray ran out and now i'm getting sinus headaches again.
enough of complaining. everyone has aches and pains and wishes their life were one where we could lay around and do whatever we wanted.
it's dawned on me that my wedding is getting very close. friday, i will be having a mini bridal shower lunch with my sisters, my mother, my grandmother, and one of my bridesmaids. we are going to this adorable place called the whistling kettle. they sell any type of tea you could think of and then some. perfect for me, the tea drinker! i'm waiting for my chai to cook down as i type :) my bridesmaid is unable to make my bachelorette party since my maid of honor and i mistakenly scheduled it on easter weekend. it was completely not intentional. i don't celebrate easter any more and my maid of honor grew up hindu and never celebrated easter ever. my bridesmaid that cannot go is very much involved in her church and christianity and god, so obviously that weekend is the biggest weekend in the church other than christmas. when i saw her in january and we figured this out, she suggested that the next time i'm upstate we go out for lunch and do a little mini bridal shower. i'm not actually having a bridal shower, so this will be nice to do. i like girly things sometimes. just not bridal showers.
you're probably thinking "why do you hate bridal showers amanda?" let me tell you! i think they're silly and a waste of time. the worst part is watching the bride open boring gifts. yes, i love myself apartment things and new kitchen appliances...but do you, my guest, want to watch me open up these things? not really. and the games? wow are they just boring! i feel like all we really do at bridal showers is act fake happy and make small talk and then make a wedding dress out of toilet paper while eating things we really don't want to be eating. i'm going to have a virtual bridal shower instead and ask that my guests send us a gift instead of bringing one to the wedding. it also is ridiculous that couples today need to have a bridal shower, an engagement party, a bachelor and a bachelorette party, on top of the wedding. i'm already making my guests travel for the wedding. there's no need for the bridal shower. also...i ain't got no time to run upstate or wherever for another event! i just can't do it with my schedule. anyway...my grandmother (and apparent my great aunt?) are very upset that i'm not having a shower, so the lunch is a nice alternative while i'm upstate for a doctors appointment.
dann and i were talking about children the other night. i was surprised to learn that he is very serious about adopting children. i've already told him if, for whatever reason, we are unable to become pregnant, that i would like to adopt. i am not going to put my body and our finances through hardship just so we can create a human being together when there are so many unfortunate children in the world without a home. dann apparently wants to adopt a child no matter what. he said he feels that he is a strong enough man to take another person's child into his home and love them as his own. i thought that was very sweet and adult of him to say. so maybe down the road, we'll be adopting some children! we also agreed that if we find siblings that need a home, we will adopt all of the siblings to keep them together. it was another surprising thing to learn about my fiance.
speaking of which...this might be TMI...dann has been wanting lots of sex as of late! we had sex 3 times this week. yes...this WEEK. no wonder i'm tired lol. we usually have sex maybe 3-4 times a month. i've been a little randier since i got the mirena put in and let dann know this probably last monday or tuesday. since then, it's been sexy time! i guess i gave him the go ahead, but it was surprising to see that he jumped on it. i just need him to slow down a bit and help me "prepare" before he gets to it. if i'm not mentally ready to go, then it's kind of useless time for me. oh well! more sex is better than less, so i'm not complaining!
i should be making powerpoint presentations for the upcoming week...
i need to make a list of things to complete for the wedding and when all of our final payments for our vendors are due...
i need to make a graph of how many lessons each of my classes have until our show on may 15th and plan accordingly...
all i want to do is rest and watch tv.
we'll see how the rest of today goes. later!
