A Few Things

First:

Heck yes, Mr. Rogers!
I also like that this is categorized as comedy on YouTube.

Second:
Why are lamps so expensive?
I'm looking for lamps to register for to put on our night stands, and I can't help but be shocked at the prices for some of these. Here I am, innocent little me. "Oh, hey... That looks like a nice, simple lamp. Wait? It's how much? Holy heck!"
That's not really one that I was looking at registering for, but can anyone tell me what would make that worth $359!?!! For that much I expect it to be made out of parts from an animal on the endangered species list or something like that.
I do kind of love some of the lamps at Urban Outfitters though.
I also like this one from World Market, but I can totally see the cat having a grand old time with that.

In other news, I've been working a lot. I just finished up a long-term job at school and now I'm looking forward to the possibility of a few days off. I'm also doing assistant manager at good ol' Malley's.

Wedding and house things are starting to fall into place.
Don't get me wrong - I still have a shit-ton of stuff to do, but I'm finally starting to see results.
In the house: We have a mostly done master bedroom (complete with a furniture set!), a bathroom that just needs a nice coat or two of paint, a guest room done except for some sanding and painting on the ceiling, a beautiful dining room, and a kitchen that's starting to look a little more like a kitchen.
For the wedding: I've got a sting quartet for the ceremony, a DJ for the reception, my dress, flowers, and a man.
Things are looking good.

I started planting things outside and this excites me.

On Saturday, I had a fun filled day with my college roomie, Megan.
I met up with her and some of her boy toys for breakfast and then we went to the Westside Market. I love the Westside Market and need to start going there more often. Volunteer chaperones are more than welcome to join me.
