Tax Season
“Tax Season” has officially started; marked by the first mandatory work weekend. I will still try and sustain some form of life outside of work as it is the only thing that keeps me sane. Please tip your tax professional!

Puppies…
Tonight we are going to Concord to look at a Shiba puppy. and I don’t care how manly you are…how can you resist that?
Cookies
A few posts back, Jen posted a picture of me with freshly baked cookies. I didn’t make those cookies from scratch. They are preformed frozen dough from a school fund raiser. Jen won’t let me make more than a couple at a time, because apparently the cookies are not very healthy for me. But I guess being limited to only baking a few at a time is good because it’ll ensure that the four additional boxes I have hidden in my work freezer last a very long time.
Playing in a box…
You don’t have to tell me that I was the cutest kid…EVER!
(please refrain from commenting on what has happened since then…)
Dirty little secrets…
A testiment to how completely nerdy I am; I will admit to the world that for reasons I cannot explain, I am enamored with airplanes. But, I don’t just like them, I am infatuated with them — like a junior high boy is infatuated with his first crush; the girl he just HAS to marry. If I could marry an airplane, I totally would — is that unhealthy? When no one else is around, I stream air traffic control from SFO on my i-tunes. No, you cannot give me a phsyciatric evaluation for a wedding gift. Why didn’t I become a pilot? Because I like having a life, that’s why. I’m hoping that one day I can “persuade” my son to become a commerical airline pilot and take dad to work every day! One day, when i’m retired, i’d like to take an old 747 fuelselage and convert into my home. [ jen is probably trying to figure out how to escape before it's too late! ] {note to jen – if you leave, i want the ring back so that I can put a down payment on my fuelselage! HA }
“and now you know, cause it’s my SUPER SHORT SHOW” (if you know where that’s from…don’t speak to me ever again)
I’ve shared my secret with you…now you share with me!

From a guy’s perspective…
Jen and I started our registry (details will be posted on our website) and let me tell you, it was definitely not as fun as I thought it would be. I thought I would be running through the store and scanning every ridiculous thing I could never afford. *beep, OOH, *beep…Oh, I can’t affor…*BEEP! It, however involves much more planning and usage of the brain that I expected. I guess it’s all logical, I mean what would I do with twenty $200 goose down pillows, and ten Simple Human automatic hand soap dispensers? IF I was marrying myself (please ignore the unpleasant thought of that) my registry list would consist of the following:
50 WHITE bath towels
1 WHITE down comforter
4 WHITE corel plates
4 WHITE corel bowls
4 WHITE corel cups
1 WHITE bed sheet
100 WHITE T-shirts (to last my lifetime) — see a boring pattern here? :)
oh…and I’d register at sears, — a John Deer sit-on-top lawnmower would be on my list, I’d race my neighbors down the street!
Wedding Weekend!
We are getting a lot of questions about our wedding weekend; the 30th of May, 2009. Many people assume that the 30th of May is Memorial day weekend… not in 2009. Memorial day is May 25, in 2009 — the previous weekend! So don’t get them confused! Have your BBQ the weekend before, and then come to our wedding and we’ll feed you again!

Exhausted
...exhausted...
That’s exactly what Jen and I have both been feeling lately. It’s not the get-more-rest type of exhaustion; it’s more of the never-ending-list-of-things-to-do kind. This list isn’t really wedding related either. It could be the begining of the year duldrums where we look at the 1 million things we want to get done in 2009, and we tired ourselves out just looking at the list.
oh, to be a dog…and for it to be normal to be fed, and then plop onto my side for nice 5 hour nap in the warm afternoon sun.

Save The Date — May 30, 2009
Our Save the Date invitations went out on Tuesday, and should be arriving to your houses within a couple of days. Please put our lovely faces on your refrigerators to remind you of the good old days of youthful, vibrant love…(sigh)..ahem…anyways, you can cut me out of the picture if you’d like!
I want to point out that you will notice that Jen will almost never write anything in her posts, they will more than likely be ideas and pictures and whatnot. I will be doing the writing. WhY? Because that’s how we do it. Jen and I have somewhat of a backwards relationship, where the general “guy-girl” personality traits are someone reversed. So if you like and idea we used for our wedding, please by all means, feel free to come by and say, “good job james,” unless of course it has something to do with color or flowers, those things annoy me.
ciao.
James
