This afternoon, I'm heading to Atlanta for a trip filled with excessive drinking and debauchery. This is my last trip as a single person. The next time I get on a plane, I'll be a Mrs, somebody's wife.

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !!!!!!

But seriously, this weekend is going to be super good times. And I'm fulling expecting to gain back all the weight I've lost this week from dieting and working out. I've been on the South Beach diet for about 5 days and have lost about 5lbs so far. (You gotta love that water weight) But how can I go to Atlanta, and not drink excessively and not go to Mellow Mushroom...

WTF Kris? You really are living up to your GenX slacker media label. Where's all the witty posts?

Witty posts? There's never been too many witty posts here. You must have me confused with a blog that's actually entertaining to read. And I always thought the slacker label was the coolest one to have. I'm too laid back to care what you think. Or to shower. Or to get a job with a future.

Whatever. Now you're rationalizing the lack of updates.

Yes, yes I am. I am the queen of rationalization.

So, here's what I've been doing for the past month or so...

1. Planning the wedding
It really hasn't been all that difficult. The invites have gone out. And I made them myself. (with help from the fiance) They are the most beautiful invitations. I didn't want to send them out, I loved them so much.

We've also registered. Which was lots of fun. Even if I feel kind of icky about the whole thing. We have a wide variety of items in all price ranges. Although, the super expensive stuff (cookware set and dining room table and chairs) are on there for the 15% discount we can get after the wedding.

And in a moment of total boredom and goofiness, I actually made a knot bio. I can't believe I did that. I can take comfort in that mine is better than most of the 20 year old annoying brides on there who want the stereotypical lame poofy wedding. I'm not particularly proud of that fact. It's like running a race against someone with no legs.

Everything is coming together very smoothly. I've had a good time planning everything and there really hasn't been any big fights or drama. It's been almost too easy. [knocks on wood] [throws salt over shoulder] [does other good luck stuff]

2. Um, I guess it's mostly been wedding stuff...

Oh gag. I just had to empty one of our mousetraps. It had a dead stiff icky dead mouse in it. Yuck.

Yes, we have vermin here. The infestation has tapered off a bit, for a while we were getting one to two mice a day. Today's victim is the first one we've gotten in a couple of weeks. I was hoping we had descimated the mouse population in our house, but I guess I was wrong. I was against the violent killing mouse traps, but I was outvoted when the "humane & nice" traps didn't work for shit. Part of the deal was that it is not my job to empty them. But it's either suck it up and do the gross creepy job and empty the mouse trap or leave the mouse carcus in the laundry room for the next three days until "the man" gets home.

Happy New Year! The next three months are going to be crazy busy.

Here are my resolutions for the upcoming year.

1) I want to try to pawn off as much work as I can onto other people. At work and at home.

2) Watch more tv.

3) Get less exercise and eat more.

4) Go to and see the reunited Motley Crue this summer. \m/
