Wednsday was a pretty good day.  I was really busy, but nothing massive happened at work so that was a nice change.  Well on retrospect i did get word that some system was getting a last mintue redesign but it honestly didn’t phase me to much so that was good.

For dinner we made sandwiches.  I had peanut butter.  I know so glamorous.  I also donated to the Colbert SuperPAC.  The email and photo I got back was so funny it was totally worth the money I donated.  Now I must wait to see when I get my name on the air!

We didn’t do that much wedding planning tonight.  We were just tired and hung out.  Tomorrow is engagement photo day so we are going to be off to Central Park with the photographers.

Trying Outlook 2011

by

Busy day at work today. I took a call at 8AM at home and then ran to the office after that. Full day of calls later I am pretty tired.

I did eak out some time to try using Apple Mail with exchange. I couldn’t really do it well before getting migrated to Exchange 2007. Now that I am moved over I gave it a try. i did so also a few weeks ago briefly but played with the settings a bit more today. Short summary for me is i like the ability to see threaded conversations in all folders in one view like in Outlook 2010, but otherwise not very happy. I will continue to use Outlook 2011 when running on my Macbook Air or Outlook 2010 in a VM.

I worked from home today. It was hot out and I was glad not to have to go outside very much. I had calls almost all day and then I worked till after 7PM catching up on mail.

M brought home swordfish to grill. We ended up eating some really good cheese and some bread before just sharing one of the swordfish. I am thinking we may do that again tomorrow. It was that good.

Rain Day

by

Today was a lazy Sunday! Well lazy in the fact that we stayed in, but we did do work. We worked on wedding stuff, as well as household stuff. We were originally going to take some engagement photos with the wedding photographer but due to the weather we all agreed to reschedule. It is now going to be after work on Thursday.

We cooked some ravioli for dinner. I find it kind of funny that the stuff we get at the grocery store down the street that can last for like 30 months in the fridge is almost as good as the stuff we get at the fancy grocery store in Grand Central Market. Of course since it is around the same price we can switch between the two but i still find it sort of amusing.

Saturday Visiting Friends

by

Today M and I went to visit a college friend of hers upstate. It was a generally low key day. She had 3 small kids and is recovering from some surgery so we just hung out and talked. Then took the kids to the park for a bit. It was a bit muggy out but the park was fun.

M & I were going to buy stuff from Grand Central Market and cook but I was feeling lazy so we went to an Italian place in Grand Central and had Calzones. They were really good.

Wedding Planning Update

by

July was a busy month.  We picked a date for the wedding and set the venue.  We are set for January 8th, 2012 at The View on The Hudson.  We are very excited.  The View looks fantastic and the view itself (of the Hudson) was spectacular.

As the month came to a close we also decided on a photographer.  Well actually it is two photographers.  We were very impressed with Shelley & Keith and are excited to see how awsome they make us look!

M is also pretty sure she has found the florist she likes for the wedding.  I say M has done that since officially I don’t want to be associated with a decision on a floristh.  Ok, he does look pretty fantastic so we are excited.  As luck would have it who we are ending up with is someone M has used for years, and if it wasn’t for his website we would never have found the View on the Hudson as a venue.

We also spent some time with Jayson working on engagement photos.  Jayson is over achieving as the best man and took us out to the campus of Vasser College when M & I were visiting for Seth’s birthday party.  We got some great photo’s around the campus.  We may still get photos with our wedding photographer duo since the package we picked included it but the pic’s Jayson took came out fantastic!
