Holy mackerel was this week full of "stuff." The Fiance and I signed the lease on our new apartment. Now we're dealing with everything that goes with moving: elevator reservations, truck rental, dealing with Comcast (ugh), and bribing friends with food to help us lift our furniture. I am so looking forward to unpacking - said no one ever. I'm excited about the new place, but man do I hate the logistics of moving. At least there's room for all our books.Happily, I was able to take a break from the moving checklist and tour our wedding venue with my maid of honor and bridesmaid. We took pictures and measurements. Gotta start working on those DIY projects and layout ideas... once we finish moving, of course.
- Magazines
- The Knot DC, Maryland, & Virginia, Spring/Summer 2014 - This issue was just like The Knot books I purchased... but with more pictures. There was no new information to me, but I did enjoy reading and seeing the local real weddings.
- Cooking Light, July 2014 - I pulled two recipes, but I mostly flipped through this issue. This was a good magazine for summer parties but the ideas seemed a bit complicated for my style of shindig - wherein I try to throw things together with as little work as possible... and usually fail.
- Martha Stewart Weddings, Spring 2014 - This issue was incredibly thick and heavy. It's mainly ads and editorial shoots, but man are they purty. I also pulled an escort card idea that The Fiance also liked.
- Real Simple, July 2014 - This issue had a number of interesting articles. The most interesting of the articles was about organization and marriage. Who knew a home organizer could help de-stress your relationship? I also enjoyed the article on how to throw themed parties this summer. Finally, I pulled the delicious looking s'mores cupcake recipe.
- Books
- I've read several chapters of All's Quiet on the Western Front. I am surprised by how readable it is. I don't know what I was expecting, but it's more enjoyable than I anticipated.
