Amy & Dave 10/17/09 HOME AND MARRIED!!!!!!!

[TheDisneyGirl02]

Thanks to everyone for reading! I know the updates have been few and far between...I have to really get moving!!!

Anyway, a little update:
I received the packet from the videographer in the mail today. I'm hoping to watch it with Dave this weekend. I didn't have to time watch it tonight because I had to stay at work late tonight and of course American Idol was on! LOL!

I'm thinking about using that chemical that etches glass to make either candle holders or vases for the center pieces. I know I want something Disney (probably Mickey) but I need to see how easy/hard it is to do. I'm planning on going this weekend to craft store to get the chemicals and a vase/candle holder just to test it out. I heard that the chemical is quite smelly so I wanted to wait until I ventilate the house before trying it!

Has anybody used that chemical etching before?

Thanks for reading again!

Why yes I have LOL. Get GLOVES... dont let it touch you.. lol burning is a nice word but if felt like hot lava or acid melting my skin LOL.. yet this was a few yrs ago so they may have not as toxic stuff now LOL.

Its really easy to use. You just take your stencil and tape it on.. make sure it doesnt move and there is no room for the etching stuff to leak through or run down. Apply it for a few mins then wash it off (DONT TOUCH IT WITH YOUR HANDS TO GET IT OFF LMAO )

Make sure to clean your stencil after each use incase the stuff get on the back of it, you dont want it to get on your vase and mess up the DISign LOL.

Take pics cant wait to see what you do.

BTW .... DONT TOUCH IT

What kind of gloves do you suggest I use? Just regular rubber gloves? Thanks for the advice, Drea!

Sooo...

Tonight was my third Weight Watchers meeting...I didn't lose any weight at all. My sister on the otherhand lost 3.6 pounds for a grand total of 6.6 pounds while I'm stuck at 2 pounds. Sigh...I have to say I am disappointed. I tried very hard this week and saw no results. Sigh... I'm happy for my sister but I just wish I could have lost at least a pound.

As I type, I'm looking at theknot.com for wedding flower ideas. If I see any, I'll post them!

But I did want to post a new picture of my lovely little mice, Remy (not so much a baby anymore!) and Snoopy!

I took that picture yesterday when they were trying to sleep after having their cage changed. Remy was literally sleeping with one eye open! LOL! They are so cute together.

Thanks for reading again!

Hi everyone! I know that I haven't updated in a bit, sorry about that! I've been really crazy at work!!!!!

Anyway, my sister was looking at hair-dos tonight and found this one - http://www.hair-news.com/fu24.html (I couldn't save the picture for some reason to post it). It's the style on the left. It's really cute, granted she won't have the tiara. I have to keep looking for an up do since I'm wearing a veil.

OK...just by looking through the site a little more, I found this up-do that I like too! It's the one on the left. http://www.hair-news.com/up-do-prom-bride-hairstyles-49.html

Here is another one that I like!

Let's see...tonight was the Weight Watcher's meeting and thankfully I lost 2 pounds this week! My sister lost another 2.6 pounds for a grand total of 9.6 pounds. I'm at a total of 4 pounds, but it's 4 pounds less than what I was at 3 weeks ago. I'll keep working though!

Sadly, I have strep throat. I'm feeling OK, but my throat is killing me!

I have a florist now! It's Bonnie's Flower Boutique in Allentown. She doesn't have a web site, but my mom has known her for years and she does beautiful work! I still have to figure out flowers that will go with the burnt orange dresses.

I found this bouquet and I like it.

Still have to look more though..

Thanks for reading!

Stainless steel gloves would be good for the etching LOL.. no anything like dishwashing ones or disposible ones Im sure is fine.

OK good luck with the hair i never know how to do mine for stuff like that or the marine corps balls i go to.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE (yes Im saying I LOVE) your floral arrangment you found. I think it would look great with the Bridesmaids dress's. Cant wait to see it all come together!

4 pounds down is great, Amy! Good luck to you and your sister. I'm also trying to lose.

Drea, I bought the etching chemicals and a vase to practice on. I wanted to do it tonight but just ran out of time. When I do it, I'll wear gloves (don't worry) and post the results.

4 pounds down is great, Amy! Good luck to you and your sister. I'm also trying to lose.

Thank you! I weigh in again tomorrow night so my fingers are crossed. Dave actually made a wonderful dinner last night, roasted veggies with wheat pasta! It was a great! Plus he made mozzarella sticks out of light string cheese, egg whites, bread crumbs and baked them. They were so good! All of the taste none of the grease!

So a small update. Dave and I watched the videographers DVD he sent and sadly we weren't impressed. Basically it looked like somebody just had a video camera and was just shooting random things. It was shakey at times. Is that how most wedding videos are? Any advice would be great!

Thanks again for reading!!!

WW is always hard. I was on it for a while but it wasnt working so I did slimfast.... lost over 50 lbs lol...
Now I replace one meal with balance bars, and they are mm mm good...

Just DO NOT get frustrated... it happens slowly sometimes and then BOOM it flies off!

Thank you! I love the colors too!!!! I like how fall-ish they are but beautiful at the same time.

Thank you for the encouragement with the weight loss. That is great that you lost 50 pounds on Slimfast! It's alway amazing that anybody can lost 50 pounds on any diet!

 

[TheDisneyGirl02]

Guess what I found? I found what I want my bouquet to look like!!!!!

I like the design, not the colors. I still have to figure those out.

Yes, it is Mickey!!!!!!!!!!! It's subtle but there and that is what I love about it! I actually found it on the Disney Store Japan website. Couldn't really read anything that it said, but I loved the pictures!

So I'm really excited I found that. I also sent away for a sample invitation so I'm looking forward to getting that in the mail.

The one girl I work with got married this past weekend and she had her reception where we are having ours and she said it was so nice! I was so happy to hear that!

Well, I weigh in tomorrow...my fingers are crossed that I lose at least a pound! I'll be happy with anything though!

Thanks for reading!

So I lost 1.2 pounds this week. Not great but not bad. So it's a total weight loss of 7.8 pounds. I'm getting there...just wish I could get there faster! LOL!!!

7.8 pounds is great! How much are you trying to lose?

 

[TheDisneyGirl02]

7.8 pounds is great! How much are you trying to lose?

As much as I can before I get married! LOL!!!

No really, I want to talk to my doctor about what would be a good goal weight for me. I know I could never get down to what my BMI should be (I actually have more muscle weight in my body than my BMI ) so I can get a goal weight.

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I see you are dieting too...looks like you are doing great too!
