Just another saturday
What I did not do today
- Study for the ethics exam. Although there is still a chance. I intend to start as soon as I finish this entry. No, really. I cannot fail the ethics exam twice.
- Attend Jasey's party. I'm sorry Jason! We have to go to the city tomorrow night (we have tickets to a piano concert at Carnegie Hall) and we just don't have the energy to go in two nights in a row. I know, I'm terrible.
What I did do today
- I ran 5 miles. Big deal, since although I have been able to run 5 miles before, I haven't gotten back up to that mileage since before the new year. I've been able to do 3, sometimes 4, but not 5. It feels so good to be back at 5!
- I washed my car, for the first time since I've moved. Observation: car washes in Queens are 20 times more crowded than they are in Staten Island.
- I made Vadim put up that huge picture of us that I mentioned in my last entry. We decided against having us watch over us as we sleep, and so instead the picture is next to the window:
It actually doesn't look as huge as I originally thought.
- I made a FINAL decision on our wedding invitations. Unless I change my mind again. Friday I picked up two gigantic albums of wedding invitations from my friend's father (who is kind enough to do them for me at cost, which is amazing). I went through both albums and narrowed the choices down to about 7 invitations. I then uploaded the chosen invitations and emailed them to both sets of parents. We then had parental phone conversations about who likes which invitation the best. I get tired just going over this in my head! After making a final choice, I called Dashi, who preferred one of the invitations which I prefered about 15 minutes before I called her, but which I had since been talked out of. Dashi then expressed disappointment that her opinion is not being counted. Which just makes me throw up my hands in the air (not in a truly exasperated way, but just in a "this is too funny for me to be really upset" way). Because to think that I have to have concensus of myself, Vadim, our parents and close relatives and Dashi - how is that ever ever going to happen? Thank goodness that, at least, I only showed everybody 7 invitations, and that we weren't all picking from the HUNDREDS that I have had to look through.
- I then had to write up an order form for the invitations, invitation envelopes, response cards and their envelopes, and thank you cards and their envelopes. I also had to come up with the invitation text, and the response card text, and the "thank you" card text. And nobody better have any input on my beautiful text. (I'm just kidding mom - please input. But just you).
- I drank 2 glasses of water. In a row. Because water is good for you. But now I am not so sure that drinking 2 glasses in a row is so good.
What I will (hopefully) do do tomorrow
- Go to the hugest Macy's ever (Herald Square) in order to buy Vadim a tuxedo to wear both to the fancy lawyer event in 2 weeks, and to the wedding. And also to have him see me in the fancy dress, from 2 entries ago, because I am having second thoughts about it. It's tough having to constantly be making not-so-important decisions: invitations, dress, etc. I'm sleepy. Time to study.

You know, it's not like these parties come around that often. You should feel privileged, no, honored to have been invited to our apartment. We were turning people away at the door, and you go and squander away your invitation to the best party in town.
Seriously, I hope you had a good time on Sunday. You'll have to come and hang out another time so we can catch up.
