Well, I thought I’d have an early morning blog today. It seems like it’s going to be a gorgeous day today, though a little overcast. Took the train to work today, and I’m REALLY trying to uphold my quest to only drive to work once a week. It’s pretty hard when I oversleep, though, because driving gets me to work faster. But even though it’s faster, parking costs an arm and a leg in downtown Chicago! So I’m going to try, real hard. The great thing about taking the train is that I also get to catch up on my reading, which I haven’t been doing much of lately.

Amy just gave me her ‘The Knot Organizer’, which is a binder that keeps all of your wedding crap. What a sweetheart! I think I’ll definitely be going to her for tips and tricks, since she’s about the only married person around my age that I see on a regular basis. I’ve also been looking at wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses, and there are just SO many beautiful styles out there. I’ll probably post some here for you guys to vote on. Seems like there’s a lot of people that come here, so you all can help me out. Much like Carnie Wilson got her stomach stapled on the internet, I’ll have the internet help me plan my wedding. Well, have some input, at least.

And since there ARE a few of you that regularly visit my site (and I thank you for it!) I just thought I’d put in a conversation starter, and see if it takes off. Me and a friend were talking yesterday about the meaning of ‘being fake’. His scenario for fakeness was that if you’re a party, and you’re kinda forced socially to talk to other people, even though you don’t want to. So you go up to people, act all nice and cordial, but inside you’re hating it. My definition of fake is when you first meet someone, and you don’t act like yourself. You change your interests and values to impress someone else. What’s your definition of fake?
