Thursday, November 09, 2006 shame on me apologies around for neglecting you once again. besides coming down with severe bronchitis (i was tested for tuberculosis -- which was thankfully negative), things have gotten a little hectic with the wedding planning...but i'm taking a tiny break to fill you in on what's been going on. our date is set for next november. both james and i wanted a fall wedding. originally we were going to have it on our actual anniversary day (not the month, but the day) but the place we eventually ended up picking for our reception didnt have the date available. no biggie. it would have been nice. church is set as well. spoke to our potential dj...going to see him set up at another wedding and then we will talk details. the one thing i want to put time and money into is the photographer. i'm looking at websites and reviewing options. the magazines are out of control. seriously. i found a beautiful dress in one of them, and i'm going dress shopping in the next two weeks to find it. in other news, i took my first yoga class today and ended up doing a handstand. a real handstand...on my hands with my legs sticking straight up. i've never done a handstand before...even when i was 10 and limber and skinny and physically able to do a handstand. who knew i would be able to do it pounds and pounds overweight at 28? i shocked myself when i did it. after that, i was hooked, and i'm taking another class this saturday. i have to get used to the breathing part...i have no idea how to breathe. and for a beginner class, i was sure working up a sweat. i decided to take up yoga because it apparently helps runners with their flexibility, and lately i've been feeling kinda blah when i run. needed to do something to spruce things up. i really can't afford it right now with all the budgeting we have to do to afford this wedding, but i'm considering it an investment...and an early christmas present to myself. hey, maybe someone would like to sponsor my yoga habit. how 'bout it? 10:29 PM
