Hey strangers!
Adam and I are laying low tonight after a hectic couple of days finishing up last minute wedding stuff… he had his bachelor party last night, and I spent the afternoon with Lizz and her daughter Skylar at my final wedding dress fitting, and erranding and DIY-ing for the wedding. Then I met up with Kristin at IKEA for some last minute supply-buying. I managed to sleep until *gasp* 9 a.m. today and then I was out on the run again! I bought ribbon for our card box, gift bags, shoes for the reception… I’m getting tired of spending money!
Adam offered to take us out for a “Linner” or “Dunch” meal… you know, lunch and dinner in one meal? We went to Claim Jumper. I went with total comfort food: meatloaf with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, and an incredibly rich (and mostly uneaten) biscuit.
I promptly moved the meatloaf aside and ate the delicious roasted veggies, and thoroughly enjoyed the meatloaf. I wish I’d asked for the gravy on the side, as I’m currently blowing up like a balloon from all the sodium. The mashed potatoes were under the meatloaf and as good as any I’ve ever had! I brought a good portion home for the inevitable hunger monster later tonight, or maybe for lunch tomorrow…
Speaking of which, tomorrow is my last day of work before the wedding! Our district has an exceptionally long Thanksgiving break, and I’m lucky that I don’t need to take more than one day off for wedding-related stuff. I’m still looking for guest posts for this week, as I’m not going to have the free time to cook, let alone post except for Thanksgiving day…

Ooooh meatloaf. That’s actually on my list to make next week for dinner but thanks for the validation that I am totally craving it…nummmy.
So exciting! Just remember now that you’re stressing out about everything – it will all come together and the day will be awesome.
Even if everything isn’t perfect (but it will be)…

We went to Claim Jumpers when it first opened (did you go to the one on Route 72?). We were underwhelmed, but maybe because it was just open?
Hooray for only one more work day! I am off of work this week – let me know if you need another guest post. Email me at bdl319@gmail.com.
By this time next week you’ll be hitched!!
