We all need a day off
Last night was the first time I have gone out without Matt by my side probably since moving back to Muskegon from Lansing. It was a decent experience, as I did get the chance to chat with Jenny, Amy, and of course Rachel. Those girls are so cute! I also played a game of pool with Bill Naill and he always makes me laugh. But in a way it was disappointing because for the most part, I was kind of bored with the whole bar scene and I guess I would rather be DOING something rather than just standing around. Dancing, doing karaoke, or even bowling would have been better, I think. Sometimes it seems like there is nothing exciting to do, and all everyone wants to do is drink & hang out. Maybe if we thought of something a little different, Matt wouldn't be so opposed to the idea of going out. I know, I know, it's supposed to be the "Muskegon" thing to do, but I'm kind of over it.
Anyways, mom and I have decided to get serious about the wedding planning. I haven't done anything to do with the wedding since I bought my dress, and that was over a month ago. We made a list of things to do TOMORROW, and I will stick to my list & NOT let myself procrastinate anymore. I guess it's just more fun to dream and imagine than to actually make the calls and get down to business. I am also going to search on the web tonight for ideas on centerpieces we can make, as well as pictures of hairstyles, bouquets, etc. I still need a videographer too!
Oh yeah, and one more thing because I just have to say it...time to go buy a smaller size of American Eagle jeans! I never thought I would fit into an 8 again, but alas, my 10's are sagging in the butt and loose in the waist and it's time to go shopping! It is just amazing to me that I have stuck to this diet, because truthfully when I set the goal for myself to lose this weight for my wedding, deep down I knew that I wouldn't be able to do it. I guess sometimes you really surprise yourself, huh? I know I'm not super thin or anything, but I think I look pretty darn good for having just had a baby 9 months ago. I mean, I am like 60 pounds less than when I delivered Carter! Still have 7 left to go, and then it is all about maintenance, which is the part that really gets people...
One major piece of suck that is going on is that Matt's work is pissing me off like whoa. He has a mandatory 8-hour Saturday AND Sunday. That means that out of 20 days, he'd have one (just one!) day off. And out of 20 days, 5 of them were 12-hour shifts! Those damn machines at work are getting way more action than me!! No, I'm really not complaining because I feel sorry for myself, I'm complaining because I feel sorry for HIM. He comes home dirty & sore & exhausted, and then he only has a couple hours to relax before it's time for bed and then he starts it all over again. I don't care if his stupid factory is not happy with how many parts their putting out, it is NOT RIGHT to demand that much time of your employees. Especially since it is so labor-intensive, they need time to recooperate, am I right?
Well, I'm going to take my shower and then enjoy my day off from working out. I look forward to my baby coming home, since I didn't see him much last night. I'm sure he'll be ready for me to take him into my arms and help him wind down. Poor Mattie... I love you honey :o)
