Highs and Lows.

My friends Muca and Leslie share Highs and Lows at their dinner table every night. Here are mine.

LOWS...
*Um, SOMEONE should have mentioned that registering is ANYTHING but the walk in the park I was looking forward to! I walked around like a deer in the headlights having no IDEA how many towels to register for, how many butter dishes to get (do we NEED butter dishes?), what kinds of casserole dishes to get, which brand of pots and pans is best, and WHY is that wok $80?? We are going to end up at Macy's, Target, and Lowe's I think, but we mostly just ended an 8 hour day with a Leatherman and big bouncy ball from Target that Ryan swore he needed and a hands-free can opener at Macy's on our registries. We'll brave that on another day. With the extensive lists I made at grad class Tuesday night.
*My garage door openers stopped working. Boo.
*August for honeymoons is a bad mix apparently. It's vacation time in Europe so all of the businesses close and it's hurricane season in the Caribbean.
*I forgot to change my programmable thermostat back down to 60' during the day for the month of January after Christmas break so Catboy and Victoria have been livin' it up for a month in the warmth while my energy bill jumped up to more than double the usual. Boo.

HIGHS...
*I have had TWO snow days this week and only have a 4 day week next week!
*I got back my ring from being sized so the metal sizer that was on it no longer pulls my hair out in massive amounts.
*In two weeks I got a dress/shoes/veil, booked the venue and officiant (my uncle!), set the date, narrowed bridesmaid's dresses to 3 options, registered, and set up a meeting with a photographer. I was born to organize things. I am going to quit teaching and organize things.
*Ryan and his dad fixed my bathtub last weekend! It has been messed up since I bought the house and now I can take a shower and shave WITHOUT having to rinse the tub again after the water has finally drained! Words can't describe...
*Ryan still wants to marry me after a week of tearful calls about heating bills, the ridiculous costs of weddings, and a slight miscalculation of how many minutes/texts I've used this month on our newly combined phone bills.
