SIDENOTE: thursday thoughts

I'm in the throes of wedding and HMOH season folks.  Bridal showers, weddings and bachelorette bashes have my calendar filled until the leaves turn color (and beyond). Engagements are still rolling in and adding to the 2012 calendar year (congrats to my pooh bear, Age).  And while I sadly watch the summer close out, starve myself for upcoming wedding photos next weekend, and get excited about the fall fashions lining all of my favorite stores ... here are a few sidenotes:

• Question. Why is it sooo easy to say no to the gym during the summer?  Like I haved full intentions of going tonight.  Except I need a rehearsal dinner dress (read: I do not need a rehearsal dinner dress. I have a shopping problem and far too many clothes).  So I need this dress and the only time I'll be able to go is tonight instead of this weekend when I'm around or any time next week.  I guess I have no choice but to not go to the gym ... and buy a dress. and this pillow.

• In our group de-stress at the office (which required me to put on gym pants, so essentially I went), I learned that the human head weighs 13 lbs, which means that without my head I'd be a size 0.
• Remember when you used to wake up in the morning worried about what kind of an intoxicated text you may have sent the night before?  Do you ever wake up now worried that while drunk stalking on Facebook you accidentally made the searched person's name your status?  Nope. Me either.
• I recognize that while I still have friends getting married every weekend, I'll have to transition soon from HMOH to BSOH (Babysitter of Honor).  It's what single, crazy aunts do - right?  But here's what I'm trying to understand. Why do people write shout-outs and messages to their babies on Facebook. The classic, "Love you angel!"  Your baby doesn't have a Facebook profile. Or read.  
• I'm really looking forward to Danielle and Jay's wedding next weekend in Greenwich, CT.  As a bridesmaid, I've obviously been paired up with the groom's sixteen year old brother. Who's a b-boy.  Who takes hip hop classes.  Who is worried that I won't be able to keep up with his dance moves. FALSE ... because have you seen these moves? Junior, we're going to choreograph something serious during the rehearsal dinner and break it down. 

And while we're at it ... some awesome inspiration boards that have made their way into my heart, and onto my computer desktop.
