Jogging.

I am now a jogger.
Who would have thought?

Running used to make me feel...beh. I would get lazy as soon as my heart started pounding at a cardio level.

Last month I saw an article in Fitness Magazine that changed those feelings.

The best thing about the article is that it says "run/walk" - that made me feel like there was no pressure to be awesome right away - it's just about getting out there. So...I did.
And in 2 weeks I have lost 2 pounds. Slow...but it's going to stay off.

I'm already up to 3 miles and I'm about to go right now!

We finally got the ink to stick:

For people who are thinking of getting their wedding invitations from Target - we bought the "Always Ann" Wedding Invitations with supply cards and envelopes - 25 count.

What happened - the ink wouldn't stick - it just bubbled. Although the package said the invites would go through an Epson printer (and I have a really nice one at that), they just shifted and were crooked...

We ended up spending $95 on top of the $100 the invitations cost. We thought we were getting a real deal - adding the printing fees made it a slight deal. The printing company told us that the paper was too small to go through their printer, so we did a one time print/stamp deal - hence the expense.

The invitations are still really great - simple and beautiful - and getting them printed by someone else wasn't traumatic - I just wish that it had all been on the package - the exact ink needed, etc. I'm going to contact Target about the ink thing - just so their advertising of "ease" can be legit.

Centerpieces...

I'm an eclectic gal - I prefer books and candles to bright flowers...not that I'm opposed to them, but I like...writing rooms and Edgar Poe and dark mystery. Summer weddings don't really cater to those ideas...or DO THEY?

Combining the love of books, candles, natural florals, and chemistry sets, my florist and I may be onto the perfect eclectic wedding centerpiece!!!
