4.28.2010

So apparently May is happening in three days. Am I the only one who is wondering where the time is flying? The days seem to be long, but the weeks seem so short. How is this possible?

Anyway, here is an update on my crazy life.

Work - is the same as always. I have my good and bad days, but mostly I feel like it is taking up my precious time when the weather outside is beautiful. On a good note, today I found out everyone will be getting raises this year, I haven't had a raise since 2008. Bring on having more money!

School - is worse than work. I spend way too much time there. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays are dedicated to Humanities, X-rays, and interpersonal relationships. Did I mention with each class I don't get home until 10-11pm? Awesome.

Sleep - What sleep?

Wedding Plans - The weekends are usually spent with wedding details. I started on centerpieces last week. I am doing lanterns with candles, but not sure what else will go there. Any ideas? Next week I am meeting with the event coordinator of the wedding to go over more specific details on food, decor, etc. For the most part things are going along, but I can't wait to stop planning and budgeting for this.

Social Life - I try to do fun things when I can. Luckily I have a good group of friends who keep me entertained when I have free time. Last night I spent the night watching Glee with Denise and Trent. I needed a good veg out session. Also, my fiancé is wonderful, it gets harder and harder only being able to see him two days a week. Two days a freaking week!

Misc - I am watching my friends house/massive dogs for two weeks (until May 7th). I took on this task because I could use some extra money, but I miss Reggie terribly. It is only day six and I wish I was sleeping on my own bed and cuddling with my own dog. I'm hoping it goes by quickly, as much as I love the dogs I'm sitting now two weeks is a long time. I need to do a post about their dogs. When I say massive I mean it.

There is the readers digest version, now update me on your life.

Getting married these days can be very expensive and my fiancé and I just had to find a way to save money. Food is so expensive, so we opted for a cocktail party instead of a full blown meal. Instead of a band or DJ we contracted with a pianist. We found a nice hall that was reasonably priced. When we got to the flowers I was absolutely stunned! Flowers are SO expensive!! I thought about this a lot and came to realize, a nice touch to any celebration is Balloons. Decorating my party with Balloons enhanced the formal aspect of the day while recognizing it also needed a happy party atmosphere. Now you might first think of helium filled balloons, the latex (or rubber) kind or the Mylar (foil) type. I got a few of those nice Mylar balloons that coordinated to my our wedding. For the other balloons, I went with a more economical solution that made a rich party décor look without a high price. Then I thought about all of this running around for balloons was not really what I wanted to do. What if the balloons broke before I got them to the banquet hall? What if I realized later I didn’t buy enough? As the groom, would I have enough time to go back to the store and buy all over again or want to bother another family member or guest to help me out?
 
That’s when I listened to my friend who recommended to me a great company called Life O ' The Party. Since 1980 Life O’ The Party has been the place for Balloons, Décor and Entertainment for every occasion – anytime, anywhere, nationwide. The home for exquisite event décor, custom centerpieces and props, costumed messengers, party entertainers and so much more. When I called them they said no order is too big or too small and I liked that very much. Life O’ The Party has grown steadily to become the metropolitan area’s premier novelty telegram, balloon, DJ and entertainment company. They have appeared many times on television as well. They appeared regularly on the NBC hit series “ED,” Third Watch” and “Law and Order”, on the very first “The Morning Show” on CBS, on Entertainment Tonight (ET), USA Network’s “UP All Night” and Fox Television’s “Good Day New York.”
 
Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade 2009 featured 15,000 of their balloons, while World Cup USA welcomed their balloons on the field at Giants Stadium in New York and Foxboro Stadium in w:st="on"Massachusetts for Opening Day festivities. In the movies, their balloons are featured in the blockbuster “Spiderman 3,” Ron Howard’s movie “Ransom,” “You’ve Got Mail” starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan and Oliver Stone’s latest epic “w:st="on"World Trade Center.”
 
Life O’ The Party deals in balloons, decorating, party balloons, balloon delivery, party planner, clowns, magicians, DJ’s, musicians, fortune tellers, caricaturists, air-brush artists, singing telegrams. Karaoke, centerpieces, props, casino games, carnival games, entertainers, party entertainers, confetti cannons, balloon arches, balloon sculptures, balloon release, balloon drops, balloon bouquets, classic balloon décor, event decorating, photo favors, balloon printing, party favors, musicians and balloon twisting.
 
Its real specialties are Balloons (bouquets, centerpieces, arches & sculptures), Décor (centerpieces and total room makeovers) and Entertainment for every occasion – anytime, anywhere, nationwide. I even switched my pianist to one of theirs who was more reasonably priced and was a terrific musician.
 
Life O’ The Party truly was the Life of Our Wedding and I can’t thank them enough for everything they did to make our wedding day memorable and very, very special.
