For Jackie (since she's the only one that reads these, I think)

Well, this weekend is a busy one (read previous blog). I just finished doing Jillian Michael's 30 day shred and man was it AMAZING!!! I love Jillian, which makes me want to go on Biggest Loser (love that show).
I am just sitting here waiting patiently for Grey's to come on, one more hour to go. It's going to be a good one. Derek proposes to Merideth. I have no idea why I missed the first season of that show. I think I was in denial and felt bad for cheating on ER. However, I am over ER and haven't watched it for years now (since I started watching Grey's). I will forever and ever be a fan of Third Watch, remember that show? Another of those hospital shows. By far the best one though!!!
I don't get to watch mush TV but I can never miss Greys or How I met you Mother or Biggest Loser. I get so motivated by Biggest Loser. I get very proud of the contestants, even though they get to spend 12 hours a day at the gym (which i wish i could). But it took a lot of courage and realization that they had to make lifestyle changes. I watched Oprah (sorta, while i was trying to nap) and she had a half ton teenager. Now, I totally blame his mother. She would go out and buy him any junk food he wanted. While he sat in front of the TV because he couldn't move and only walked to go to the washroom and then back to his "chair". I wasn't sad for him, I was mad at him and his mother. Everyone has the ability to control their lifestyle and heathly eating habits. Look at me, I lost 40 pounds and I changed my eating habits and go to the gym religiously. Sometimes I feel I have a problem. Like if I miss a day at the gym, I get pissed off at myself. I try and schedule my life around my gym workout times. But I must add, I love going to the gym. I love running and weight training. So if I can do it this half ton teen can do it. They ended up taking 80% of his stomach. Easy way out. Even my brother was "so bascially what this show is telling us is if we are obesse we can just get our stomach stabled". And he's right.
Well my hands are tired from my ranting. Stayed tuned Jack! xoxo

Not long now!

Well, I went to the Britney Spears concert. She obviously did not sing and only was on stage for an hour. What is with that? She only sang two old songs and the rest were from her new album. In all, not the best concert I have been to. My next concert (I hope) will be Rhianna!!!! Love her!
Well only 6 weeks left and I will be a Policelli! Where (again) did the last year go?
Phil's rental was almost sold this week. Some couple put in a low offer, we decided to accept after three days of thinking logically about it (cause the low offer was out 5% commission so we kinda won) andyways, they told my uncle "we are looking at a few more houses and then we will decide" Who does that? First you put in an offer and because we came back with another (which I might add they weren't negotiating people, they were firm in their offer) you don't accept when we say ok, you can have it? My sister-in-law feels they were playing us the whole time and wasn't really serious, which I can see why she thinks that. I just want this damn house to sell and then we can buy our house that we love so much!
That's about all the excitment around here. Stay tuned, because next week is music selection for the ceremony and my shower!!

More wedding plans...good lord

Tonight Phil, my parents, his brother and sister-in-law, and myself went to the wedding venue and did our taste testing. WOW, there was so much food! Dad kept requesting special meals. When our wedding coordinator came out to ask us which dessert we liked dad goes, "I love the galato but on the night of can I have another scoop of mango instead of the chocolate? Dad, how embarassing, and the coordinator was "of course". The gelato we choose is one scoop raspberry, one scoop chocolate and one scoop mango. What a nut he is. He also asked for something else special. Who's day is this anyways? ha ha ha.
We also booked our hotel room which is across the street. We want to continue the party. ha ha ha. ya right. I'll tell you what is going to happen. Phil will drag me by the gown and make me go to bed because I'll be wasted. At Alicia's wedding, I got so wasted the next morning Phil asked if there was an open bottle of vodka and then was "oh no, it's just you". ha ha ha it was seeping out my pours. Oh well. A fun time was had by all.
Next is my wedding shower. Can't wait what these ladies have in store for me.

AAAHHHHHH!

Well two months today and I'll be Jessica Policelli. Or as I tell Phil, I will be Jessica Ingham-Policelli. ha ha ha. He does not like that, being typical and traditionally Italian. Over the next two months I feel I have so much to do and no time to do it. We have our tasting this saturday. We go and taste a selection of dishes and choose what we want to serve our guests. I have heard good things about this place.
I'm in the middle of making a wedding program. I am searching the web for a letter or poem by Mozart or Winston Churchill. But I keep finding the same ones over and over. I guess I will just have to look/read my Love Letters book which contains letters written between Winston and his wife, Clemintine. This book is 1000 pages.
So the next few days, I will be working on wording and thank yous for my program. And I have to work on a speech for that night. I already have it in my head, but I have had great advice to put it down on paper. ha ha ha.
Well, I am off to bed. I will keep you posted on what happens next! I need more followers, btw. ha ha ha.

More wedding update

I think it's kinda silly after reading Jack's blog about apes and monkey's hand control to be discussing something silly like my wedding. But it's been a troubling time for me. ha ha ha. First of all I hadn't heard from my photographer for THREE WEEKS!!! What is with that? Then I wasn't sleeping because I was worried about not fitting my dress (across the back and chest because of my weight lifting). However, the photographer called back, FINALLY and I had my first dress fitting tonight. And I am happy to announce, it is TOO big across the chest and back. YES!!!! ha ha ha .
I am starting to get some replies from my invitations. I will admit, there were people I didn't think that were coming and they responded with an "accepts". Which I am quite happy about! It's so nice to know that people are looking forward to coming out and seeing us and sharing in our special day. Very exciting. I only have two more months left. Can you believe it? I can't. It all seems so sureal! (just like in the movie Nottinghill). It's not like I never thought I wouldn't ever get married, but it just creeps up so fast on you! I'm excited, yet very nervous and I will admit, scared.
Now on to my next biggest worry, Phil's rental property selling. I hope all the time that one of these days I will get a surprise call saying "we have an offer". Then we can look seriously and actually not have to live at Phil's house where I don't wanna be. It's not his house, and it certainly won't feel like mine. Phil lives in his "family" house and his dad lives in another house. Anways, these are the thoughts that consume my mind all the time these days. I know it's not cognitive thought process, but keep in mind, I hang around 5 year olds all day every day. I only know about The Wiggles, or what is happening on Mighty Machines! And some child told me the other day "I was watching Dirty Jobs and I saw a vet take a horses balls and cut them off and then grab the penis". That my friends is the intellectual conversations I encounter every day.
