I Found It!
Our trip to NY was a complete success! We found, purchased and took home my wedding gown! I can now relax and breath a sigh of relief. Can't wait for y'all to see it!

Neglectfulness
I have been told by some people (Beth), that I don't write enough on the blog. And looking at my post dates, I would have to agree. I am going to try my hardest to get better about it. So...
Today we had our annual Bouchard Girl's Day After Thanksgiving Lunch. It started sort of by accident a few years ago when my mother and I went downtown for some shopping and lunch. We got in touch with my Auntie Brenda who was also dt and she ended up meeting up with us. It was one of those unexpected incredibly fun days and we decided to make it a tradition. After a tiring, but fun holiday of cooking, eating, visiting, etc. it's so nice to have a relaxing lunch with loved ones. This year, Jenny and I arrived at Church Street Tavern and my mother was already there with a great table by the window so we could see the Christmas parade. We were patiently waiting for our Auntie B to arrive when in walked Auntie B with Beth!! We were so excited! It was a little surprise for Jenny and I, we did not know Beth was coming! We made Bethy promise she would continue to attend every day-after-Thanksgiving lunch from now on.
After lunch, after a quick stop at Something Sweet, we all headed off to Needleman's to see if any new dresses had arrived. We were all very hopeful, but unfortunately I did not find anything that I liked. I am trying my hardest to not get discouraged, but it's hard when I just didn't think it would take this much time/effort to find my dress. Jenny, my mom and I are headed off to Albany tomorrow am to a few different places to look for dresses, so hopefully I will find one there and y'all can stop listening to my complaining! Hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving weekend! xoxo

I've Been Tagged
So, I was just thinking the other day how I should really post more than just stuff about the wedding on account of we haven't done anything with it in a while and I think people care more about just our wedding. And just in the nick of time, I was tagged by Jenny, which means I have to post 6 interesting things about myself, then tag 5 other people to do the same. So, here it goes:
1. Stealing this one from Jenny, but, yes, I can put quarters in my dimples. This trick always seems to come out when someone in the group has been drinking.
2. I became a vegetarian in July. I never ate a ton of meat anyway and one day I just decided, I'm going to give it a try. So far, it's been working out great! I haven't really missed anything terribly and I seem to cook myself better meals now that I am consciously trying to get all of the nutrients I need.
3. I have the best family and friends in the whole wide world. I truely do. I could not ask for a better support system or a more fun, hysterical, caring bunch. Sometimes I think I'm spoiled and I don't deserve it. I honestly think I have the best life in the world and I am so thankful for everyone who makes it so wonderful.
4. I can "trick" myself into liking certain things. I used to hate eggs and tomatoes, but I always really wanted to like them. I felt limited when I went out breakfast and would only order cereal or pancakes. So, I would just eat them here and there until I liked them. Same with beer and wine. I used to hate the taste, I only drank Captain and Diet. That got VERY expensive, so I just "tricked" myself into liking them and now that's all I drink, well, for alcohol, I do drink water and juice and stuff, I'm not a complete lush.
5. I am obsessed with The Office. I can have the most stressful day at work/school (which has been pretty much every day lately), but then come home and watch The Office and it makes me SO happy and all of my problems fade away! There is no one, and I mean no one as funny as Michael.
6. Jimmy concluded last night that if I were rich, I would be very fat and lazy. I always say, if I were rich, I would pay someone to do this... For example, cutting up my food, picking out my clothes and peeling my oranges. I immediately shot down his statement by letting him know that if I were rich, I would not be fat as I would hire someone to move my legs on a treadmill for me.
Since the only bloggers I know were already tagged by Jenny, I tag anyone who reads this post, please tell us 5 interesting things about you!
