LC's Engagement and Ring - I'm not sure if you missed it, like I missed it, but our Laguna Beach/Hills girl has gotten ENGAGED y'all! Last week LC [I know she hates that nickname, but sorry girl, it's how we 'met' you] posted a ring picture on her website, along with a story about her engagement. I'm happy she found someone, as stupid as this sounds, I've been rooting for her in the love department, she always seemed to get SOOO close and then it fell apart. But, now she's got the man and the ring woohoo! Speaking of the ring, I have to say I gave C a pat on the back after I saw her picture, since her ring looks pretty similar to mine [minus the two carat rock part, holy ginormous batman]. Homeboy was ahead of the engagement ring fashion curve and didn't even know it, well done husband!

Falling Temps - FALL/WINTER is finally here in the DC/Metro area....darn! Itttttttttttt's freeeezing! Okay, no it's not, I'm being a wuss, but we know I don't like cold. And y'all it is definelty cold. The kind of cold that cars have to be started and warmed up before driven, cold. BOOCARD! Falling temps don't just bring cold, they also bring the lovely wardrobe swap weekend, le sigh. Time to pack away the tanks, short skirts, summer dresses and flips, for sweaters, sweatshirts and boots......WAH!

Thank You Notes - The wedding has been over for a month and I'm STILL writing thank you notes. GAH, I don't ever see an end in sight. Our friends and family were extremely generous and I want to make sure everyone understands how thankful we are for their gift and their presence at our wedding. I'm trying to aspect a of a few a day to chop down the list, but I might do a marathon session one day this weekend. I know technically we get a year, but I REALLY want to get them all done before Thanksgiving. I don't think it's right to send Christmas cards before people receive thank you notes, so that's my goal for October/November.

Morning Workouts - They are COMING back y'all....next week to be exact. You've heard me mention before how Le Husband and I have gotten off the mega workout train since the wedding. We kicked MAJOR tail the months leading up to the wedding, but once the 'week of' hit there were more important things going on than hitting the gym. We've stayed in in that lull since W-day and honestly I've loved it and am grateful Le Husband agreed to just enjoy life with me. We ate what we wanted, worked out if we wanted and just ENJOYED life together doing nothing. However, now it's time to get back in action. The summer body is built in the fall/winter and I'm determined to get back into the shape I was pre-wedding, and better.

Domestic Diva Status - Now let's be clear, I'm not trying to sound like a braggart, I'm just extremly proud of my domestic divaness the past two weeks. Honestly, I have no idea where it came from, but in the last two weeks I've been all about domesticity and having a clean apartment. Mind you there are still some boxes and things around, but I've been adamant about a clean kitchen, well stocked fridge and laundry. This may sound anti-feminist, but I've ENJOYED embracing the 'womanly' duties in the home and tending to Le Husband. Trust me, he's doing his share of things, but it's more fun taking care of someone that just taking care of myself right now. I'm sure that mindset will change in the future [haha], but today I choose to give myself a pat on the back for being a domestic diva :)!
