Another Monday

My weekend was pretty good. On Friday, I totally vegged and watched tv and went to bed early. It was nice to be able to do that. On Saturday, I went to bottle wine and did some other errands and then just hung out for the evening. On Sunday, CT and I went to church and then my mom and I went to the bridal show in town.

The bridal show was poorly-organized in my opinion. It was from 12-4, but we got there at approximately 1:30pm. There were several exhibitors set-up in a large L-shaped room with a fashion show set-up in the middle. So, when we got there, there were already people sitting down for the fashion show, so we figured it started soon. So, we looked at the exhibitors on the one side of the “L” and then sat down for the fashion show, which we figured started at 2pm (we were never told what time it started when we entered). So, we waited, and waited. Finally, the fashion show started at about 2:45pm. Before it started, they announced that the exhibitors would be available after the fashion show as well. The fashion show was almost an hour and then there were draw prizes afterwards. For the draw prizes, what I didn’t understand was why they put someone’s name back in the box once they had won a prize. So 2 girls won 2 prizes, which I didn’t think was fair. Needless to say, I didn’t win a thing. Oh well. By the time that was over, it was 4:00, so we hurried to the other side of the room that we hadn’t been to, and the exhibitors were already all packed up! I was quite disappointed. But apparently there is another show in February, so I will know then to go right when it starts and visit all the booths before the fashion show. I guess I sound like a complainer. I still had a good time and got some neat ideas for a bunch of details, including invitations. We want to make our own and one of the craft places in town has a make your own wedding invitations workshop once a month, so mom and I are going to go in January or February.

By the time I got home, CT had put the wine rack together that we bought at Ikea last weekend, so now I have all the room I will ever need for wine. Yay! He also had bought me flowers while I was at the bridal show with my mom, what a sweetie. So the weekend went by quickly, but I enjoyed it. Now my project for this week is to get the house cleaned up for my guests on the weekend! Nej and lj are coming to visit and I can’t wait!
