Dear Snow...STOP IT!

Haha...yeah we're supposed to get like 12" by the morning...sweet. How is it that I was so happy about the weather Friday and three days later its back to a winter MESS!! So in a few, Brian and I are going back up to his apt for the night so we will have the short commute tomorrow morning. I haven't been at the computer much this weekend so I want to:

Extend the Giveaway Deadline Two Days!

I know the suspense must be killing you, BUT, I do have THREE prizes to give so I'll give it a little longer :)

Well, that cold/sore throat that I thought I squashed earlier in the week came back. I woke up yesterday all stuffy :( Grrrrr!!! Like every person around me has been sick but I was REALLY hoping to avoid this. Luckily it hasn't been too bad, and I was NOT going to let it impact the Yoga Challenge!

I was really excited to read about Tina's Yoga Challenge for the month of March! I have been loving the Hot Yoga lately so I figured this would be a great addition. I downloaded a handful of yogadownloads, and got to it this morning.

I did the 30 minute Gentle Hatha Yoga #1. Because of my cold, I didn't want anything too strenuous, but more of a relaxing stretch for the morning. This was great!! I really liked it. I followed along with the pose guide on my screen and never felt like I had to stop and check my pose on the screen.

I am hoping to go to Hot Yoga Class tomorrow, but we'll see with this damn snow!!!

Wedding Things!
Saturday, Mom and I went to meet with our caterer at the rentals place to pick out all the fun stuff...linens, place settings, flatware, stemware...etc. They have everything in their studio, and tables you can"dress up"!My Mock Table!!
  • Chocolate Brown Satin Table Cloth
  • Tan/Camel colored striped napkin
  • Ivory dinnerware with gold rim
  • Silver Plate flatware
  • Wine and Water glass
With chair - Natural Wood Garden Chair.
P.S. NOT my flowers...those were just there. My Flowers will be Bright and Dark pinks!!
Close up...the pink "napkin" tucked into my napkin was just to show where the menu card will go (and the menu card will be pink), so it will be tucked into the napkin. It's behind the plate because I am going to have the salads already plated when people sit down (saves some time).

Fun!! Not pictured, but Brian and I are going to have a sweetheart table and its going to be a higher cocktail table so we can look out at the crowd...with high bar stool-like Chivairi chairs!

Something to remind me of warm weather...Watermelon!! Picked this up at the grocery store...precut, it was delish! Mmmm summer.

We had a quick breakfast this morning of scrambled eggs and TJ's Whole Wheat Cinnamon Raisin British Muffins. I had 1 half with smart balance, the other with PB and banana.Brian and I spent alllllll day driving around different towns that we may want to live. We know the geographical area that we want to look for houses in, but we don't "know" those towns well...so we drove them! It was a really good thing to do...can't wait to really start looking at houses!!!

Then we had a Sunday Dinner at Moms.

Roast Chicken:
Roasted Veggies: Sweet Potato, Cauliflower, Broccoli, Carrots, Onions, and Garlic!
(there was also a little mashed potato, gravy, and cranberry sauce!)

Then I noticed these babies on the tableThose would be Rolly-Pollies!! And Rolly-Pollies only come when there was PIE CRUST made...I knew it had to be somewhere...
My FAV...Butterscotch Pie!! (she'd HATE this picture because she gets SO mad when the meringue separates from the crust, but its still SO good...any professionals out there with a solution to the separation issue???)

I cleaned my pie plate :)Hope you all had great weekends!!
