1. I’m participating in my first preppy swap! It’s a paper swap hosted by Mom X 2, and I was paired up with MCC, who just from skimming her blog this morning: loves Lily, pink, and all things preppy 
Much like myself though I doubt I’ll ever have a Lily Pulitzer collection quite like hers 
1 a. This reminds me last week I found a slue of cute stuff at the Target – some super cute green and pink post-it notes, a Real Simple Post It organizing pad and some super cute pink and green note cards (which a few of you might be receiving in the mail as part of the 20sb Post Card Exchange )
2. Fiancé and I may have found a different reception site, while we LOVE the Phoenix Park…$15,000 is a lot of money when my parents will only cover a third of that…given that it’s $7k alone for the food and such, we decided to consider other places. So we looked into Clydes @ Gallery Place which while it’s a bit further from the church than we’d have liked, it’s metro accessible for those who plan on taking metro and it’s not tooooo far from the hotel (we’d still use Phoenix Park so that we can have the after party at the Dubliner hopefully). The entrees? Are HALF of what we’d be paying for at Phoenix Park. $35 compared to $63? Big big difference. Not to mention, we went to Clyde’s on our first date for dessert so there’s that connection
It’s a classy room, and if the price is right? We’re going to see if we can set up a meeting either tonight or tomorrow and see what we can find out from them. Apparently they’ve done weddings before which is always a plus. And the room has it’s own bar. Also a plus. Though I don’t forsee us using the big screen plasma teevee during the reception
Anyhow, thank goodness this is a four day work week, I need to go down and get something to eat so that over lunch I can go work out. I’ll have to swim but thats okay. I did some nasty damage to my knee trying to teach Fiancé how to swing dance while wearing 3 inch Steve Maddens at the wedding on Saturday. To my DC readers, any thoughts on another DC bloggers happy hour in the next week or two? Probably not this week but maybe sometime next week??
