bloggy face lift!

yes, it's true!  i decided i want to get some blogging done, and i was tired of looking at my old blog (even though it was still pretty cool and i was very proud of it!).  so here's a nice simple theme to hold me over until i mess with it some more.

how goes it in the life of tiffers, you ask?

or you don't ask but i imagine you do in my head?

first off:  50 POUNDS LOST IN ONE YEAR.  how about them apples (them tasty, tasty apples)!?

on our three year anniversary.  <3


it's amazing.  it's like a stopped carrying a travel safe or something.  i can't imagine picking it up again.  and i'm also down about 3 dress sizes.  it's great!  i love it!  

on the down side, i'm sort of plateauing at the moment.  i'm stuck in the 243 - 240 range.  and i want to lose more before the wedding in october!  my treadmill has about had it, but i'm trying to convince chris to take walks with me outside since kentucky finally gifted us with spring weather (after trying to level us with tornadoes).

in other tiffers news:  guess who has two thumbs and is developing anxiety issues just like everybody else on both sides of her family?  this lady!

i went to the urgent care clinic because i kept having these random chest pains and my heart kept beating fast for seeming no reason.  got hooked up for an EKG and was having tiny palpitations, which the doctor who treated me told me he might be concerned about if i was 65, but not at 25.  so then she asked 'what's going on your life?  any stress?'

let's see:

failing several classes.
almost getting kicked out of school.
working overnights and not getting any sleep.
having a day off and sleeping all day because i haven't slept in 4 days.
bosses are bitches with super high expectations for one normal individual.
planning a wedding.
paying for a wedding.
no money no money no money.
keeping my grades up.
not going off on a member of management who wants 12 hours worth of work done in 8.
trying not to be a fatty.

no.  i don't see any stress here.

i left with 20 anxiety pills.

i haven't taken any.  which she told me a lot of her patients rarely take them, with mild anxiety just knowing you have them can be enough to keep the anxiety at bay.  so i keep them in my purse just in case i need them.

i make chris laugh, though,  i was reading the little pamphlet about all the side effects and told him i was scared to take them.

chris:  it's an ANXIETY PILL.  you're too scared to take it.  take one and you'll feel better, that's what it's for!

so yes, anxious tiffers waits anxiously instead of taking her anxiety medication. 

but it's all good.  i haven't had any problems since.

that's the current life of tiffers.

have a picture of my wedding dress, i should be ordering it in the next few days.

peace.

i can't wait to walk down the aisle in this!  <3

a wedding list post!

finally set my wedding date for october 20th, 2012!  this is more of a reminder to myself of prices, things i need, things i like and all sorts of other stuff that i need to remember but if i write it on a piece of paper, i will lose it!  and it's here for everybody to see, so you can plan my wedding with me!

VENUE:
set and free!  my wedding will take place in my parent's huge back yard, so right after chris and i are all wed we will just turn around and party!  just don't upset the goat.  D:

DRESS:
still looking!  i want to stay under $200 for a dress, which i think may be pretty low, but i'm looking for a summer-y fall-y autumn-y type dress, cuz it will probably still be a little warm.  tea-length is the proper term.  here are my favorites so far:

$136.00
$94.00
$110.00
i'm leaning towards the bottom one, the only thing is i wanted a cute retro pillbox hat, and i don't know that i can find one to match since it has like a lace overlay thing going on.

i'm also worried about what size to get a dress, since i want to have it early (obviously!).  my goal size by my wedding was actually a sixteen, but i'm already down to eighteen and i have over a year to go!  so who knows!  if i keep going the way i have been, losing about 6 or 7 pounds a month, i could lose another 90 or so pounds!!!  i guess i'll just have to wait!

NAPKINS:

we didn't want to waste money on fancy dining ware, but chris and i were thinking of doing the monogram napkin thing.  we'd have regular ones too, maybe just a hundred or so mainly as souvenirs.  just something sort of cutesy, but they are WAY more expensive then i thought they would be.  i mean, some people are gonna keep them, but a lot of people are going to wipe their faces with them and throw them away.

*sigh*

the leaf ones are obviously more theme appropriate for a fall wedding, but they're soooooo boring.  i like the mr. and mrs. ones, though.  :3

more to come soon!

peace.
