party weekend
Our big pre-wedding party is in just a couple of days. We're really looking forward to it and hoping that lots of people show up. After that, there is only ONE MORE weekend before the big day!! So far, we don't have any plans for that weekend. I think that's good. Something might come up, and if it doesn't, we can just chillax for a couple of days. :)

cocktail napkins
We FINALLY got our cocktail napkins today! I ordered them January 20; they finished processing the order (charged my bank account) on January 29, and finally they arrived today. They have a "track your order" on their website, which still says that the order is "in processing." Frustrating. But, it's over now, we have our napkins, and they are wonderful!
They say "Eat, Drink, and be Married," with our name and wedding date underneath. They are much darker red than in the picture, but the camera flash washed out the color. The imprint is gold foil.

a success, but not as planned
It started raining during our picnic, and the wind chill was too chilly for Rodgers and I, but we had fun on our V-Day picnic anyway. I've put pictures of it in my Picasa Web album called "Stillhouse" starting here. There are also some pictures from Christmas at Belton Dam (the other dam park) starting here.
Friday the 13th was pretty great. I love a good slasher movie. After the picnic, as we were drinking hot drinks and warming up, Rodgers said we should watch a romantic movie (which I really have none of), so we found one on Netflix "Watch Instantly." We wanted to do nothing and be lazy. So, as I am attempting to educate Rodgers on horror movies, we also watched the 2nd Nightmare on Elm Street (which is the only one available for watching instantly. I had not seen it before, but the consensus on Netflix reviews is that it is the worst of the Elm Street series.) and the original Dracula (which we both fell asleep during - not because it was boring but because it was naptime - but that was Sunday not V-Day).

Valentine's Day again
I just read my post from last V-Day. This year is much different!
Last year, at V-Day, we set a new record for "consecutive days together," which was 4. We broke that record in June, with 13 days, when I went to Kenya to visit Rodgers.
When I first moved to Temple, after I started working, we weren't breaking that record. Rodgers had a Monday night class, so we would see each other 6 days a week, which was amazing and wonderful, but I'm into breaking records. I think (though I haven't really kept accurate count) that our new record is 52 days! Unbelievable!
We don't have big plans for V-Day, but we do have small ones. Too bad it's about 10 degrees cooler than it was supposed to be today. I really, really wanted to see the new Friday the 13th last night, since it was Friday the 13th. It made sense to me. But, our Sunday School class decided that it was the best time to have a social. It was fun, and worth putting off the movie. I still want to see it, and it is the kind of movie that I used to always watch on V-Days pre-Rodgers. So, I think we'll go this afternoon. Then, we're getting a bucket o' chicken from KFC and going to our favorite spot at Stillhouse Hollow Dam, which we call the Dam Park. I was hoping for a high of 70, but it will be more like 55. Good weather for cuddling...

card box
And one more thing.
I was at Card & Party Factory today, looking to see if they have an aisle runner that's better than the one I found at WalMart. They do have one of similar material, that's a couple of dollars cheaper, but it's also 70 feet shorter. WalMart it is then!
Anyway, I saw a card box there - you know, a big box with a slit in the top for people to drop cards in. It makes it easier to collect and transport them. I thought, We should have a card box to put on the gift table. I almost bought it. Then, I saw this table cloth ("cloth" - actually it's paper) that was African animal print. I realized then that I really wanted an animal print card box. Then I remembered that we had gotten a wedding gift in a box that had a slit in the top for a handle. The only conclusion was to buy that table cloth and cover my big, already slitted box with it. I did have to cut another slit in it because the first one isn't as long as most cards. But, it's great! All I need now is some clear contact paper.
