Procrastination...

I'm a really bad procrastinator. REALLY BAD. There are about 20 things that I've been putting off. Right now there is one staring me in the face. This room is the least inspiring room ever, besides the bird flitting around in the rose bush outside the window.

Granted, we've only been in our house for about 2 months. That almost makes it worse. It's a viscous cycle. There are so many things to do. We've only been here 2 months. One thing at a time. It can wait. WAIT? There are so many things to do.

So instead of doing one of those 20 things, I decided to start my blog... And that my friends, is what successful procrastinating looks like. 

Here's what the Even's ARE accomplishing:

I became a vegetarian at the start of 2012. More on this later. Andrew is actually going along with this quite well. He'll eat meat when we go out, but recently told me he might take it on full time (shhh). 

I'm slowly cutting out all animal by-products.

We are drinking this every morning. It's 100% pure organic ingredients. I think we're going on three weeks so that's a major accomplishment for now. 

We bought shelving for the garage. Have yet to put it together. We were supposed to do this last night, but instead I talked Andrew into going to see The Avengers. Good choice me. 

Yesterday I threw out almost all dangerous toxic cleaners and made safe natural cleaners. Definitely more on this later. 

As of today, I have accomplished starting the blog. So I guess that procrastinating thing is two fold. 

One last thing...last weekend we went to Dallas for our anniversary. We watched my dear friends Eden's Edge perform at Poor David's Pub. If you haven't heard of them, check it out. They are three of the most talented musicians. And of course we had to go to a Rangers game!! If you didn't know, they are the team to beat this year. 

10 days out!!

theknot has informed me that i am 10 days away from being Mrs. Even.

this would probably cause anyone else to kick it in high gear and get things done. but like i told my co-worker today..."i only move at one speed." this has become glaringly apparent during this DIY wedding we are having. i only have one excuse: growing up one of my dad's favorite phrases was "slow and steady wins the race". really?? come on dad, it doesn't. what is does is make you a perfectionist and a procrastinator.

by now, you should have caught on to the fact that instead of doing wedding stuff i am sitting at my computer typing. my original plan was to start blogging after we were married because, well, apparently it's the thing to do. so i was sitting here and i just started thinking about all of the things i am most excited about for the wedding, and i decided i needed to document them...

• my wedding cake-it is going to be the cutest, prettiest, simplest cake you have ever seen!!
• my jewelry-made especially for me
• the food-you probably won't have any room for dessert
• my centerpieces-a work in progress since the beginning
• the flowers! i'm REALLY excited about the flowers.

and no one wants to read a bunch of mush, but i really am most excited to finally be married to Andrew.
