Saying Thanks via Baked Goodies!

My friend Lena gave me the wonderful idea of providing wedding favors in the form of baked goodies and I think that that would be marvelous!

Here's a great and simple recipe from the Project Wedding blog:

YURM.


Other ideas include macarons, marshmallows, and pink popcorn balls. Recipes here.

I just googled pink and edible favors. Voila!


Yummy.  A candy bar is a must.

Facial Tea Tins and Other Gift Ideas

So my mother got this as a gift today:

Prince William and his beloved. On a tea tin.
Top view.
The tea inside.
The whole package.
This got me thinking: Is it tacky to have your face plastered on your wedding guest gifts? I mean, it's a nice tin. The picture of them is a tad awkward because William has this half jilted smile on his face but Kate's partially occluded visage is pretty. I guess I'm going to be reminded of the Prince's undying love for Kate everytime I go to open a pack of English tea so it serves its purpose in that regard. It's difficult for me to think that anyone really wants something with Brian and my face all over it, no matter how good looking we are. Unless it's a bobble head doll. Everyone loves bobble head dolls!

As Charlie Sheen would say, "WINNING!"
In all honesty, I do hope that Brian and I are able to pick out guest gifts that our friends and families will actually like and use. Any ideas?

Exercise/Diet Bonus Update:
Anneliese and I went to the UD gym tonight and did this class called "Core Conditioning" that was pretty sweatastic. It wasn't anything too hardcore but I think I will be satisfied with the level of soreness tomorrow morning. My mother volunteered to pay for me to enroll in a diet program of some sort. I am contemplating signing up for my school's fitness classes and going to 2-3 classes a week with Anneliese (It's only $14 for seven classes!). I like going to these classes because it adds variety to my elliptical workouts as well as making sure that I actually go to these things since I have a partner holding me accountable. Peer pressure is such an effective force for a socialite like myself! :)

And you're right. I haven't been holding my weekly weigh ins. I figured they would just demotivate me since I've been such a sloth lately. But I gotta do what I gotta do to stay motivated, right? Even if it puts me in denial. A little denial never hurt anyone, especially a little fatty like myself.
