Instead I&#8217;ve been glued to the TV watching Food Network. Seriously whenever smoked brisket or lobster rolls are featured, I could jump through the TV! Eating healthy is the hardest for me at night. For some reason I can&#8217;t sleep&#8230; I guess its the excitement of the Shower! This leads me to wonder what the Wedding Day will feel like? Every now and then I will wake up on a random Saturday morning and try to envision the day unfolding. I always think&#8230;. Okay, I feel calm and relaxed right now -\u00c2\u00a0 if I could only bottle this feeling up and have the same attitude on June 12th then I would be golden. I know the day will be filled with a lot of emotion, anticipation and excitement. I am so used to being the one to capture all that &#8211; its definitely going to be weird being on the other side.<\/p>\n<p>You may have noticed a little updating to my site. It was time for a change, a new logo and some freshening up! That&#8217;s the great thing about my blog and website, I have full access to do so when I please. It also brings on hours and hours of feeling like a zombie in front the computer. When I can&#8217;t figure something out &#8211; I usually search online until I find a solution or wind up emailing the blog and website company. Sometimes I really do feel like a computer nerd, I spend half my day sitting in front of one! Eventually they will probably tell us its bad for us, like everything else!<\/p>\n<p>Things I need to do:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Finish my craft project I&#8217;ve been working on so I can post pics of the process<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Travel somewhere random and interesting in Louisiana and take pictures, just because!!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Plant some new flowers for Spring<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Clean my office<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Recover this suede blue storage chest I have with some cool new fabric<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Cook a nice meal for my entire family because that&#8217;s what us Italians do!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Buy a new book from Barnes and Nobles and get reading!<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Keep working on my Protein Bar Taste Test Experiment.
