03-28-10 Wedding Marching


Well, March has just been flying by. Since my motto for this month was "Make My Life Better March", I feel the need to talk about how that actually turned out for me. I feel pretty good about March. I hated that I was sick for pretty much the whole month. I hated that I was so lazy due to being sick that I missed most workouts and also slacked on walking Frankie as much as I like to. BUT...other than those small setbacks, I had a rather amazing month. Here are the highlights:

~Curtis and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary.
~We managed to catch most of the Oscar Nominated Movies I wanted to see before the Oscars.
~We spent a lot of nice quality time together.
~WE GOT ENGAGED!
~Curtis and his partner Zeke SOLD THEIR FIRST SHOW TO A BIG NETWORK!
~I'm planning a wedding and therefore I get to talk to my closest friends WAY more than usual and see them more often too. Woo-hoo!

Now, because of the engagement, some other stuff on my "list of important stuff to do" has slipped a little in terms of how important it is right this second because until we have a date, location and all the big decisions for the wedding done, it's petty much all I can think about. Once we have all that stuff out of the way, then, I'm pretty sure I can relax. But finging a location and picking a date are BIG things that need to be taken care of prretty quickly for me. And finding a location takes time and effort, driving all over to see all the possible venues and stuff.

Anyway, that's my little update on March. Onto the events of today!

Today was the last scheduled brunch at a restaurant called "Spadra". Spadra is a great little restaurant that had great brunches and the most relaxed atmosphere of any place I've ever been to. It was the kind of place where ou could eat breakfast or brunch and then just relax and chat at the table for a long time without feeling pressured to leave. Having been a server I always made sure we weren't keeping anyone from making money or keeping anyone from having a table. But Spadra was just kind of "chill" that way. If you lived in the area or had gone to school there, or just knew people there, then there was a good chance you'd see people you kneew there. It will be missed. Oh sure, there's lots of other good brunch places to go to, but they don't have the ambience or feel of Spadra. We started going there with our friend Dean and then other people started to join in as well. Dean was unfortunately sick today so he missed out, sadly. And a few other people also couldn't make it, so, today we said our goodbye in a smaller way than planned with Scott and Liz and baby Aurora. It was very nice. There was a rumor that they might stay open a little longer. I guess we'll see. But today was the advertised last day for brunch. This is me and Curtis at the last brunch.



After that my mom and I went wedding dress shopping. More dresses. I found a couple more that I really loved. But they were pricier than I would have liked. Still, it's nice to know what I like and what I don't. My sis in law, and bridesmaid, Kerri also joined us for a bit.
