So today is officially my second week at my new job. So far I really like it. It's still Human Resources but at a better company, though they don't do a 401k match, they at least offer it. I found out in the last month that when I cobra my insurance, I will only be paying an extra $6 a paycheck, because that is all I was worth to my last job, $12 a month, which is probably just the processing fee. And though i know that it's good to have insurance, I was paying $80 a paycheck with high copays.
So another plus about my job, it's the HR manager, the payroll gal, and me. That's it. I can only depend on myself if things don't go right or to make them better. I have been handed a small task to get the Florida prepaid college funds an automatic debit from peoples checks. It's a small fun project, an extra benefit. I like that idea of helping others.
Today, Michael is irritating me. I don't know why. We were doing fine for about two months and then he just kept being annoying. This morning I went to grab something from the dishwasher and notice it didn't drain, which meant that the dirty water just slooshed around. I told him that I had to rewash all of the dishes because they were dirty. So tonight, he grabs a fork and almost started to stir the garlic butter with it. It just ticked me off. And it has started a snappy-ness in me that I am not liking but can't help it. So everything he did or didn't do with the cleaning and leaving lights on and etc.
Wedding stuff. Okay Okay. You guys have convinced me (for the better) to let someone else do my flowers. I probably will do the guys boutonniere since I am most likely making them out of peacock feathers without flowers so i can do that at any time. But I am thinking I just need a bridesmaid size bouquet, nosegay sized for the girls and two corsages for the mothers. That shouldn't be too bad. I may could do the mother's in silk with the peacock feathers somehow.
I am fearing the dress situation. I only went to Davids and Alfred Angelo but my taste ( I use to be a bridal consultant at two different salons, Formal's Etc a rental place, and Azarue's in Shreveport) is skewed. And I want something nice but not too expensive, put together well, and possibly a bit form fitting. I want a classic cut but fresh in the presentation. But again, not too expensive. I am going to go to the Brides for Breast Cancer on Saturday and if I don't find something there, in Miami there's a HUGE bridal shop, so... Who knows.
I am still working out heavily and am going to get on the eating well train, promise. I know I can take in the dress but that's an added expense. Do you think that if I find a dress soon, I can wait until July to order it? Just to double check the measurements?

I got a dress. Yes I did! It's beautiful! I got it from the Brides Against Breast cancer event here in Fort Lauderdale, a deal and I'm helping out. Love it.
