Wedding is over

Wow, what a great past couple of weeks. Seeing all my friends and family coming together in one spot is crazy! I really enjoyed getting to see everyone, I just wish there was more time. There were several people that made a huge trip to Portland and I just didn't get to talk to them as much as I wanted or at all. I'd do the whole thing again in a heartbeat.

26. Finalize the wedding blog so it's ready by the time invites are sent out

It's not perfect but it's done to the point of ready for people to get information off of it.

A very productive week

This was a very productive week and my urge to read news and surf the web has really gone down. I spent a couple hours reading my old news sites and although it was fun to catch up, nothing had really happened that I needed to read. Though it was nice to get some details.

This week I'm going to focus on cleaning the house and getting everything put away in a good spot. After I get done with this post I'm going to add a few cleaning goals to the list. I'm also going to try to allow myself to do a little searching and surfing. I'm going to try to keep it below hours a do. Today I went a little over that but I'm not going to look the rest of today and just clean.

I feel pretty good about my progress.

8. Send out invitations for wedding

They are out! Well at least 95% of them. I took 300 to the post office this morning and posted them off. This is the first big project I've finished since my return to productivity. I've not got to finish off the website so when people receive the invite they won't be confused when hitting the website. Which if you are curious is michaelandjenneliwedding.blogspot.com

Hockwald helps with the invites

The end of day 3

Honestly, I thought I'd be able to check off at least a few items by today, but I guess one always underestimates the length of a task and over estimates the number of hours in a day. I'm really pushing to get all the invites out tomorrow.

It was far easier to do without looking up news items today. I'm beginning to think this is like any compulsive behavior. I'm always going to have a desire but it's manageable. If I can make it to Monday I want to shoot for one more week before I let up on the restrictions. Ideally I'd like to only research news an hour or 2 a day. I've gotten so much done the last 3 days I don't want to let that go. It's weird how memory works, this week has brought back memories of college and working at FSR. Not to say I've been working so hard but I've been at a task all day without breaks. I'm wondering if my mind hasn't adapted to the breaks I do give it, like this blog. Maybe I'll understand more next week.

Getting the invites out

We also can't decide on the stamp. All the choices!

Jenneli paints @ LA Works

Jenneli and I spent the day painting a school at a LA works event. After painting few doors and some walls we proved ourselves worthy of mural work.
