A pre-nup????

So, Zicky-Zou had his bachelor party Saturday night. One of his friends from work, a thrice-married, quite jaded guy, advised Zicky-Zou that the best thing he can ever do is not get married. And if he does get married,he needs a pre-nup. Nice idea, except our net worth is negative $217,232.We have assets of about $3.68. Somehow I think if we went to lawyer and tried to get a pre-nup drawn up that listed items like three-32 ounce bottles of philosophy body lotion, a bic razor, and half a bottle of hairspray we'd be laughed out of his office.

I have lots of money invested in hair and body care products that will probably be gone in 5 years when we get divorced. And I would guess the value of ZickyZou's X-Box decreases daily. Somehow I don't see us fighting over empty bottles and used video games. The only joint purchase we have is a $77 tv we got on clearance when we pooled out Christmas money from his grandma. And since it was his grandma, he can have the tv if it still works in 5 years.We are not the type of people that pre-nups were designed for. Plus, I make more money. Shouldn't I be insisting on a pre-nup to protect my Coach and Dooney collection? Maybe the judge will award him alimony of $1.72 a month.

Ok, enough about divorce. We are not even married yet. Two weeks! Seems rather surreal.My bachlorette party was great, except the toy party lady never showed up. I hope she wasn't in a fiery car crash since I have been cursing her existence. Actually, I should be glad she didn't show up because she probably saved me a couple of hundred dollars. I didn't "need' anything anyway, although I was looking forward to buying some more shaving cream. I love that stuff.

I had a blast at my party, even without the toy party part. ZarahZou was a most-excellent bartender. She made lots of fruity pretty drinks. I didn't get "trashed", but I did get a tad bit tipsy. And a couple of people that I have not seen in years and years came. That was really fun. It was nice to see them, I am very glad they came. Zheresa and Zamy have not changed one bit in the past 15 or so years. They look they same. It's hard for me to comprehend that someone (Zheresa) that I used to go trick or treating with has 4 kids! We are officially and certifiably ADULTS! Sometimes I feel younger, but then I remember that I have a 15 year old daughter and a mortgage.

And now I have enough alcohol leftover to have an official "liquor cabinet". Except I don't have a cabinet. But I have plenty of alcohol. If I ever need a drink, I have a little of everything. Yesterday Alyssa and I made nonalcoholic apple and watermelon martini's. Yum. And I made her a Tequila Sunrise, sans tequila, of course. She was impressed with the drink,and I got to explain density to her.

Today I got a phone call from another person that I have not talked to since high school. Zenee used to live across the street from me from about the time I was 5 until I was 14. She slept over at my house numerous times and we spent lots of time together. I haven't talked to her forever so it was really nice to hear from her.

Ok, time to make my nutri-dinner....

Over two weeks

since I last wrote an entry. Wow! What is happening to me. That is unacceptable. I have just been so preoccupied with things- my dad was in the hospital, I'm getting a root canal (and I had a killer toothache), school clothes shopping, family picnics, oh, and wedding plans. So much to do, so little time.

It's past my bedtime, but I get to sleep in for about 45 minutes tomorrow because I have a dentist appt. at 8:00 am to finish my root canal. And I get to pay $250 to get it done. What a treat. A trip to the dentist and an increased balance on my visa. But, good news- by charging it on my amazon.com visa I will have accrued enough points to get a $25 amazon.com gift card. What a deal.

Family picnic in Becker on Saturday. And I get to make two dishes, my parents and my own. I am soooo lucky. Plus I don't even get to enjoy any picnic foods since I am on nutrisystem. I did decide to make my bachlorette party an exception and I plan to consume at least 2500 calories worth of tequila. I'm not making an exception for the picnic since there will be other picnics in my future. There will not, however, be any other bachlorette parties in my honor. So I need to drink. A lot.

I just had the best dessert. Nutrisystem chocolate-chocolate chip pudding. It was so good. Some of the food is really, really good. For dinner tonight I had green pepper steak w/ rice. I didn't expect to like it, but it was surprisingly good. I dumped it over a plate of cooked frozen broccoli, cauliflower and carrots. I am eating so much cooked broccoli. I still don't like it, but when you dump a dinner over it, it tastes like the dinner's sauce. I have lost nearly 14 pounds so far. I am very excited about that. 14 down, 26 to go. Too bad the next 14 won't be quite as easy. Or maybe they will be??

Ok, my laundry is done so I should go fold my clothes before I go to bed. Need to be well-rested for the root canal.
