Come on the Train, and a Ride It

Yay, hump day is almost over! My day was actually pretty good. It started with an Urban Rebounding class and really, what is better than jumping on a trampoline and calling it a work out? Plus my instructor has some quality throw back tunes this morning. Anyone remember the Choo-Choo Train song (Come on the train, and ride it?)? Good times.

Anyway, my day was fantastic until I opened my wedding guest list. Am I alone in finding this list to be THE MOST annoying thing about wedding planning? I started with a list, then it got added to, but sometimes it was added to my parents list, sometimes my list and I can't tell you how many times we were like "where is aunt so and so?" or "why is my best friend NOT on this list?" etc.

Just last week I finally took the "final" list and reorganized it and reformatted it so that it was in the formal invitation language. Turns out that only confused me more. Once you delete the woman's name and formalize the guy's name, "Mr. and Mrs. Christopher Smith", now I just don't know who half the guests are! Including my own friends who all decided to change their names in the middle of me planning a wedding! (how dare they? j/k) Then I attempted to add the kids names which was another joke. Can I just write "and kids" or "and kids as long as you are willing to deal with them because Eric and I get enough of that every other day?" Formal shmormal. I tried to stick to the "rules" as much as possible but I did put the names of guests on the outside of the envelope even if they don't live together. Sorry but Eric and I see our friend's girlfriends/boyfriends/fiance's about as much as we see our friends, so no we will not call them "guests." Also, guests 18 and older are supposed to get their own invites even if they live with their parents. Seems pointless to me...do you really need two invitations to throw away save forever? I don't even live with my parents and if my cousins sent an invite only to my parents with my name on it, I honestly wouldn't care- as long as they informed me where I need to be and when.

And also- is there REALLY a need for 2 envelopes? No. Because even if someone does decide to throw away save my invites forever, do they really need a special clean envelope?

So trivia question for you: True or False- Kelly LOVES the formalities of weddings. You said True didn't you?

Okay enough about that. Have you been wondering how I've been doing with eating more veggies in honor of National Nutrition Month? (probably not but I'm going to tell you anyway!). I haven't been recording my number of servings or anything, but I think I've been eating significantly more veggies than I was before. This week I made another one of my favorite pizzas:

On top of crust I put- tomato sauce, carrots, parsnips, summer squash, mushrooms, red peppers and black beans. That's 3 delicious veggie filled lunches.

Also last week I happened to notice that I do really well prepping my veggies for the beginning of the week, say Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday...and then Thursday, Friday, Saturday- I run out of veggies and don't go grocery shopping until Sunday. Oops. This week I tried to plan ahead better and I think it worked. I still have sweet potatoes and butternut squash leftover, half a bag of baby carrots, and an eggplant still left. Not bad for a girl who's stomach regularly rejects veggies?

How do you make sure you are getting enough veggies? Do you plan ahead or do you naturally just eat a lot of vegetables?
