today is the last day of my spring break, although yesterday really was, because i have to teach this afternoon. last night j & i did happy hour with his soccer friends at one of the thousand bars in the portland metropolitan area owned by mcmenamins. i guess i promised j i'd go rock climbing today at noon at the gym in my alcohol induced stupidity, so i've gotta add that to the list of things to do today. i've been all consumed the past few days making big decisions about wedding invitations. after looking at the options at the local wedding store, i came to the conclusion that paying $580 for the ones i liked really wasn't worth it, and i could just make them myself. i think i've made five trips to the paperzone store, which isn't exactly in my neighborhood, and several trips to copy & craft stores. paperzone can be pretty intimidating. so many colors, sizes, tools for things i've never considered doing to paper... scary. amazing what an industry scrapbooking has turned into. anyway, the rest of the weekend holds a trip to the store to get other ingredients for chicken curry, teaching, probably watching some movies/tv, my first day at work back tomorrow morning, and some sort of exercise. and making lots and lots of invites. yipee!!! (at least there's no curling...)
