and by that i don't mean i'm earning another dollar (which, i suppose i am), i mean that's probably what's in my bank account right now. but you know what, i make the decision to spend the money, and we have a working savings account, so, there's no way i'm going to live off microwavable hamburger helper. i know that probably doesn't make any sense, but, cut me some slack, it's 8am, and i got three hours of sleep.
actually, i have twenty-two dollars until tomorrow, thank you, and a nice little lump in savings, so, go back to not judging me, please.
this morning i had all intentions of waking up at 6, doing my yoga, attempting a second poaching of egg and making my snacks/lunch for the day. however, at two this morning i still found myself tossing and turning and completely wide awake. i then proceeded to call lauren from my cell phone (mind you, lauren lives across the hall) and made her come tell me a bedtime story. it worked mildly, but i still had to force myself majorly to get to sleep. so, needless to say, i woke up at 6:45, brushed my teeth and so on, had a piece of wheat toast with low fat laughing cow cheese and packed my snacks for the day. for anyone curious as to what i get to eat now, i will tell you!
mid-morning snack (i have to eat six times a day, which, boy, lemme tell ya, way improves your metabolism)
1/2 apple (no skin)
sugar free, fat free jello
mid-afternoon snack
5 crackers (honestly, i don't know if i'm supposed to have crackers, but i eat them anyway)
2 tbs hummus
pleeenttyyy of water.
i haven't yet decided what to do about lunch.
on another note, laura of trialbycupcakes sent me the sketch of our wedding map! it's fantastic!!! i'm madly in love with it. it was the black and white pencil sketch, but, still, i freaking love it. i won't post it because i want it to be a surprise to everyone in their mailboxes with the invitations! =) yayyy.
*yawn* off to the real world, now.

good ole' southern gal
wants hay bales!
so, i've been looking at one of my favorite bridal blogs ever, green wedding shoes, and i've discovered SO many cute things. in particular, the bales of hay. now, although i love this:
it seems to me that the hay is a little far from the top of the table, and i don't want my cute little old folks to be uncomfortable. however, does anyone else see those gorgeous vintage lanterns? i'm in love in love in love.
on another topic, i've decided that restaurant food is just not meant for me anymore. no matter what it is... maybe a cup of soup, but, that's basically it. i'm not supposed to be having solid food for a bit longer, maybe 3 or 4 more weeks, but i can't stand it anymore. i believe that tomorrow i get to start "soft foods" but, i've long been there. most everything i eat at home that's "soft foods" goes down great, but anytime i try to have it at a restaurant, it just kills me. they must hide some secret fattening and sugary ingredient in the most common foods. for example, today i went and had lunch with lily and lauren at the sassafras, and on my plate i had a cup of chicken salad (wayyyy pureed, believe me, it was like a pate) and a cup of potato salad (not so pureed, but still... potato?) and i ate a little less than half of each... and i was like dying in the car on the way home. who knows. i'm just trying to behave myself and continue to lose weight. as of the last time i weighed, i'd lost 30 pounds since post-op, but yesterday i was way dehydrated and knew that if i did, i'd regret it.
in other news... i've decided to get the talented miss laura to do our wedding maps (robert loved them and so did everyone else!) cause they are darling. go to her etsy shop, trial by cupcakes, and you'll fall in love with all the rest of her stuff, as well.
*yawn* it's been such a long boring day here at work... but that's just fine with me because i was up until 3AM and woke up at 7! i got this book while down in tallahassee, american wife by curtis sittenfeld and it's amazing. it's loosely based off a real first lady (i won't tell ya who, i've figured it out, but it's fun to try and guess) and it's just so hard to put it down.
in fact, i'm going to go read it right now... !
