Two For Tuesday ….

by Cait @ Beyond Bananas on April 24, 2012

Good Morning!  I am back into the full swing at work! Yesterday was a good day. Monday’s after vacation are usually good because I am running off of PURE adrenaline. Today.. I am a little bit tired, but I think I’ll make it!

Thanks for all of your encouragement with regards to the Tough Mudder.  I had the same thoughts about the electroshock therapy when I first was considering it.. but hundreds of thousands of people do it every year – so I thought I’d give it a shot!

 

Two for Tuesday

Two Things .. COLBY

 

Colby got his hair cut last week! He looks like he lost a bajillion pounds and I barely recognized him when I first went to pick him up!!

 

 

I bought a stability ball on amazon over the weekend. Thanks to our fabulous Amazon Prime membership, it arrived yesterday. Colby is intimidated by this large, round thing.  He barks uncontrollable at it. Hmm. I thought he was going to think it was a big toy!!

 

 

Two Things .. WEDDING

 

 

 

I have just about FINISHED addressing my invitations. Stubborn me did it ALL myself. There are a few straggling invitations that have yet to be done because either a.) I am confused about ettiquette, or b.) I am waiting on some updated information from Justin.

 

Bridesmaids dresses are in – so now I must figure out some shoes! These are my two front runners:

I had originally thought strappy silver sandals, but the silver on them tends to be really reflective – and that isn’t the look I am going for!

 

Two Things .. SHOPPING

I bought a new pair of Reef Sandals. (Via amazon of course). Do you own a pair? They are extremly comfy and if you do not own a pair.. you should get on that.. stat.  I’ve had my old pair for 3 years – and the only reason I had to get new ones is because Colby wanted to let me know he had to go out.. so he chewed them. (Don’t get me wrong, I still wore them all chewed and what not…)

I finally signed up for HauteLook. It is just like RueLaLa… except there are more stores to choose from. And the shipping is $5.95 has opposed to $9.95 for Rue.  Check it out.

Tell me two things.. or ONE thing.. about you!

 

Which shoes do you like best?

My mother is good at calligraphy and luckily address my invitations – but I waited FOREVER for some addresses from my husband’s side. So frustrating! I wasn’t impressed with Hautelook, but love RueLaLa, Gilt, and Beyond the Rack. :)

I like the the shoes with the strap in the back but both are beautiful. Doesn’t it feel good to check things off your list?

1. I miss my dog, this picture reminded me of my dog’s smiling face (yes they smile)
2. A new pair of sandals is a must for this season

I like the Reefs the best. :)

So glad you told me about the Reefs; my hubby and I are going on our own tour of Europe in a couple of weeks and I will NEED some good, light, comfy shoes! I guess that’s one thing about me. :) The second is that I am the QUEEN of creating all kinds of recipes using oatmeal and cottage cheese (separate or together)!!

Yes! Reefs are awesome!! I highly suggest them! I can’t wait to read about your tour! Justin and I are saving to go on a Europe trip next summer!

My invitations are pretty much done too — my sister addressed them for me! I’m still waiting on three addresses from my fiance, though. But I can deal with that :) .

Good for you getting those invites done! I did mine all by myself, too. :-)

Love the first shoe the best. :-)

I am glad I am not the only one! My bridal party was shocked I didn’t request their help!

I also did my invites by myself – I delegated very little out to my wedding party.

Wyatt is also terrified of my stability ball.. Chris torments him with it – When Wyatt was a little bitty baby dog Chris took him out and there was a beach ball by our shed. The wind blew the ball near Wyatt and ever since then Wyatt has a serious aversion to anything bigger than a tennis ball.

Aww! Poor Wyatt! I wish I knew why Colby was so afraid of things! Although oddly, I have noticed he only barks at the ball when I am home alone and using it/sitting on it. If Justin is home.. he doesn’t care about it!

For our invitations…I assembled them all together because we did ‘message in a bottle’ to go with the whole beach-theme. Yup, never again haha.

I wish ruelala and hautelook (actually not sure about this one) shipped to Canada. We have friends in the states, but it’s just a pain to ask them if I can have something shipped to their house and then they ship it up here. I better just move south of the border!! lol

Oh wow. Message in a Bottle.. sounds time consuming! I automatically discounted any invitations that require more than just stuffing the pieces into the envelope!
