Busy with a capital "B"

I feel like I haven't blogged in forever, but just realized that I only skipped one day! Things have been SUPER busy here at work! Just trying to do all the tasks associated with 6 events that will be in September is making us all crazy. Especially since there are only 3 of us in the office now. Without an administrative assistant, it means we have to spend time doing small, mundane tasks that he would have done, and we have had to go back through things to make sure he had done what was asked of him before he resigned. My head is swimming trying to keep things straight! In fact, that's why I am blogging and now and not working on something....my mind is overloaded today!!

Anyway, enough of the griping! This weekend is a very special weekend....yep, another wedding! This time for my friends Carolyn and Chris. WEG and I are both in the wedding (we're both in the one next weekend, too). We love Carolyn & Chris and can't wait for them to be Mr. and Mrs. Clark! Friday starts the festivities with the bridal brunch (at Dianne's on Divine...yum!) and the rehearsal dinner (catered by Shealy's BBQ....another yum!). Then on Saturday it's the wedding, reception, and after party (catered by the people who own Blue Marlin...yet another yum!). I foresee myself eating well this weekend while celebrating with two of our best friends!!

Also, I'd like to thank everyone for your suggestions on things I could get WEG for his birthday. I decided to make him a basket of stuff along with a gift certificate for us to go eat at Mr. Friendly's. I knew that if I didn't get a gift certificate he would never let me follow through on taking him because he never lets me pay the bill at expensive restaurants. So, a gift certificate solves that problem! And in his basket of goodies I got him a grill cover (not a Clemson one because I had to get the custom cover for his grill), new electronic meat thermometer (his old one broke and he's always needing one!), a book I think he'll like (Sand County Almanac- it's quoted in a lot of outdoor magazines), several of his favorite kinds of candy, a new Pelagic visor he wants (it has a marlin on it, of course), and a wine opener.

We agreed I shouldn't spend a fortune since 1) we're not that type of gift givers to start with, 2) I have had so many expenses this summer with being in weddings, etc. and 3) last year was his 30th birthday and I went all out with a surprise party.

So there you have it- what's going on in my life right now. Sorry for the lack of pictures!!

  3. I know exactly how you feel! I feel like I haven't blogged or commented in forever.

    That sounds like such a great birthday gift - I always love doing baskets! Greg's birthday is in a few weeks and I'm at a loss.

    I'm sure you enjoyed the after party; I love, love, love the Blue Marlin.
