Why Productivity is My Friend

Today was a productive day, with just the right amount of laziness. The morning started off with a sore shoulder, which was greeted by a backrub, a cup of coffee, and cereal in bed (!). This was followed by a fairly lazy morning while we waited for Jett to show up to take us out to le Outlet Mall. While we waited, I finished up an ipod cozy for Jett and wristwarmers for me--out of chunky baby alpaca, no less! I can now type without freezing my hands off in the process!

So then there was the adventure to le Outlet Mall. We had to get Ivan his weddings and funerals suit--most especially our wedding, but also the weddings of friends and family. So we hit the outlets. We found what we were looking for in Brooks Brothers and their sales and good deals and, voila! A new Ivan was born. 30 minutes later, we were on our way with suit, shirt, and a tie in tow. Now we just need shoes....and a belt....and shoes for me...and a caterer.....

Oh, but we DID pick a florist who is a really wonderful woman. She's totally psyched about using locally available stuff, and up for the challenge of "we're planning on having big huge platters of food in th emiddle of the tables--can you work around that?" and excited about "oh, I really like the twigs look, and the berries thing...it's going to be October, who wants flowers?"
