miscellany monday!

It's been way too long since I have participated in this link up, which is one of my favorites! And, today it perfectly captures my thoughts--which are all over the place! If you are like me today, head over to Carissa's blog and link up! :)

We are 12 days away from saying "I Do"!! I seriously cannot believe how fast the time has gone. Part of me wishes the wedding were further away so I could really soak in everything, but the other part of me is so anxious for the day to get here! I cannot wait for our wedding, honeymoon, and everything that comes afterwards!! :)
Going along with the wedding...last night we finished up the programs with our graphic designer and that was our last major to do to check off the list!
Speaking of to do lists...Theknot.com keeps you on a pretty strict schedule when it comes to wedding planning! Pretty much throughout the entire process I have had about 45 things that are overdue. No judgement! However, after checking some things off this weekend, I am down to just 12 overdue items! :) Most of the things I can't do yet--like give our caterer a final headcount. (We have a whole week before we have to hand that in!) There are a few that I need to take care of, including my final dress fitting, but that will all happen this week! :) woo hoo!
I have often blogged, tweeted, and just in general sang the praises of The Shred workout by Jillian Michaels. I stuck with the workouts religiously and really developed some serious toning in my arms and legs. However, I was really wanting more of a cardio workout in addition to some sculpting action. Enter....Now this is the workout I was looking for! It's 50 minutes instead of 30 and it's exactly what I need in my life! The circuit training is still there, but there are a million other cardio moves included in the DVD. The workout has been kicking my butt and I love it! :) (And, I loved that it was only $9 at Target!!)
I'm looking for a good self-tanner for the wedding. I have been going to the tanning bed some (no judgement here!) but not enough to get a really good tan like what I want for the big day! So, I am looking to supplement my fake-n-bake action with some self-tanner help. Do any of you use a self-tanner? I have pretty fair skin, but I do also tan well. I'm also looking for something that won't break the bank! Help a sister out--do you have any recommendations?
Last miscellany thought of the day--I am going to work on our place cards this week. Would you write the names with calligraphy, cursive or print? I have been weighing this decision in my mind for a couple of days. Do I sacrifice beauty for easiness to read? Let me know what you think about this one too! :)
