If it's not one thing...

...it's another.

My "fun" news items of the week are as such:

1. My hairdresser calls me Monday to tell me she messed up her schedule and actually will not be in town the day of my wedding!!!!!!!!!! I know this isn't like life or death here but I think wedding day hair deserves some urgency, no? So I know I can find another salon do to my hair (plus most of my bridesmaids) but it was one of the things I didn't have to worry about. Urg.

2. Found out this week that the mortgage loan we were pre-approved for is going to require us to pay down Brian's student loan by $6000 before closing...so could of used that cash for other things, you know furniture! No but really most first time home buyers are swimming in cash and the house does need a couple things done so it was just frustrating but not much that can be done about it, any other type of loan will end up costing us much more in the long run.

3. Ooo almost forgot, Brian is leaving for Vegas tonight with a group of 20 guys for his friends Bachelor party!!! At least he's as stressed about the money thing as I am, but obviously it's not going to be a cheap weekend. I'm not gonna lie, I'm slightly nervous...and it's got nothing to do with the girls there haha, I'm more worried about the money and possible injuries...his buddy broke his foot last year in Vegas (shimmying down a drain pipe to get where you need to be at 4am when hammered apparently sounded like a great idea to him haha).

At least I can usually count on my food to brighten my week!

This week was all about the Caprese salads! I bought some beautiful little red ripe tomatoes, they were actually called "Tasty Toms", and fresh basil. After the gym on Monday I knew I had to buy some fresh mozzarella to really make a delicious meal.

I cut up 3 tomatoes, 3 balls-o-mozzarella, and a few basil leaves. This was topped on a bed of green leaf lettuce and drizzled with my special Olive Oil, salt and pepper.

My special olive oil is just this bottle I splurged on one day at a specialty shop...I think it was like $30 but it's really good and I only use it in instances like this where you want to taste the olive oil.

I had this for dinner Monday AND Tuesday...Monday's with corn on the cob and Tuesdays with a sweet potato!

A little POM spritzer on the side (POM, seltzer, lime).

Last night was a "scrounge" dinner at Brian's (the boy who never has food). Luckily I brought some Kale with me I wanted to use up as well as 2 summer squashes.

He had 2 ears of corn and an old box of Annie's (no milk though haha). We made the Annie's with just a splash of pasta water and it was fine. This went great with Kale chips, and steamed corn and squash.

The highlight of the evening, however, was dessert. We picked these up at Whole Foods. I almost didn't believe my eyes...ice cream stuffed rice crispie treats?!?!

Oh yes.

That's exactly what it was. GENIUS idea! There was more crispie treat than ice cream but that was fine by me, I LOVE rice crispie treats!!!! Each square is 180 calories which is about the same as a small serving of ice cream, so not too shabby for something that's not deliberately low-fat!

Tonight I get to go see my wedding dress!!!! I haven't seen it since August when we ordered it and it came in last month! I'm just going with mom to check it out and try it on, no fittings yet.

Then it's off to look at invitations...will we EVER decide on one!?
