Dammit Harlowe

[Alluveal]

I never see you really post anymore.

Wassup!

[Lurker]

Pretty sad turn of events when you can't even get Harlowe to post on a "Dammit Harlowe" thread.

[Alluveal]

No kidding!

Maybe if we start talking about running.

So, yeah, I went JOGGING the other day and I RAN really fast.

(Maybe she'll sniff it out)

[Harlowe]

Did someone say the magic words...running...jogging????? It's actually awesome in the mornings running now and I'm going to do the Nashville marathon in April of next year (yeah I seriously start thinking about training this far in advance). My current favorite running song is Pumped up Kicks. Better run, better run...faster than my bullet!

Alright, alright I know you didn't really want to hear any running bullshit! I've been busy with work and I'm actually getting married this November. For reals. So I've been more scarce taking care of bidness.

Pumped up Kicks

That song is annoying and sucks ass.

/end obligatory rant any time I see reference to PuK.

lol PuK(e)

[Taxious]

I'm actually getting married this November

Oh, grats! About time... isn't it?!

Pumped up Kicks

That song is annoying and sucks ass.

lol PuK(e)

Catchy as fukkkk though!

[Harlowe]

Oh man, there is a WORLD of difference between what a person likes to sit and listen to and what works best for a run/work out. So ...yeah if you looked at any of the running playlists I've created, you'd puke over the entire thing (seriously there is even Ke$ha on there).

Maybe you'd like the electronic/techno music if you are into that, but otherwise, it's the most mindless, catchy (aka inevitably annoying) music imaginable....which also happens to work amazingly well for keeping on pace.

Catchy just works for running or any kind of aerobic work out.

[calleagh]

i loves me some PUK!!

YAY on the wedding! Are you going to have little Harlowes? (p.s. are you kinda pissed that nicole ritchie named her baby Harlowe? I mean, that's your name, yo.)

What kind of wedding? Small, large?

Omg, get all girlie with us (flaps hands)

[Freecare Spiritwise]

Bridezilla! Just kidding, that's awesome, Harlowe.

[Minute]

My new favorite song to run to is Florence & The Machine - Cosmic Love

P.S. Side Note... if you like a song or band, don't watch their music videos. There's about a 99% chance that it was super produced by some douchebag puke attempting to appeal to the ADHD generation & will ruin or lower your overall like of the band.

P.S.S. Thanks for Foster the People Suggestion Harlowe, added.

[Harlowe]

Oh it will be a very small, intimate thing. We're then going to celebrate with his family. My greatest resistance was the spectacle of it all and the whole "if it's not broke, don't fix it" mentality I can have. I'm sometimes a bit practical to a fault. There is no way in hell I'm spending a shitload of money just to be Princess for a Day, not when the money could be better spent on our house, a new car, a vacation - but just to play dress up for a day and be the center of attention? No, not even if I had parents that would pay for it. Which I don't, because my step-dad is a miserable asshole and he controls their money. Which is fine, it's theirs, they earned it and I have no right to something I didn't earn myself.

Anyway, okay, one girly moment here...I like what are considered Grecian style wedding dresses. They're feminine without being weighed down by a bunch of appliqued shit, corsets or uncomfortable layers of poofy crap. This is a pretty good example of what I'm considering and even how I'll probably wear my hair, a tiny bit flower child, but not full-hippy.

And Lu, no kid plans. Yikes no. I don't even want a dog (which I love) because it's too much responsibility.

ETA: Awesome Minute, I had one Florence & The Machine tune (Dog Days are Gone I think), but not that....I've now added it! If you have any other suggestions let me know, we can trade lists. =)

I gave the fiance a good budget and she said "I'd rather get married in Vegas on the cheap and we both can get new cars for what a big wedding costs." I got a black Durango and she got a black Explorer.

Standing the in the casino of the Luxor after the wedding in my tux and her gown was like being celebrities. It was a total blast. I shook at least 100 total stranger's hands. We spent about a grand total on our wedding (that included the hotel, limo, flowers, cake, everything) and pocketed all the money we would've spent. Not only that but everyone gave us cash for wedding gifts. I really don't see how people run up 10s of thousands of dollars in debt for one day of fun and bad food. But then again, I just wanted her to be happy so if she would've wanted a big wedding she would've gotten one.

[Freecare Spiritwise]

Years ago I worked with a guy who had spent over $100k on his wedding, most of it borrowed. This was in the mid 90's so I can only imagine what that would cost today. Even though the bride's parents paid for a good chunk of it he said if he made double the minimum payments on all their credit cards it would still take him close to a decade to pay everything off. He was talking bankruptcy and they had only been married a few months!

Back then you could buy a damn house for that much. Shit, you still can here in Spokane in 2011. It's just crazy how people fuck themselves just for one day. That's cool if you have it to burn. Why not spend it in that case. But I don't understand how people could do that to themselves.

[Ddrak]

The only thing I have to say about a wedding is you can skimp on anything but the photographer. A good photographer does awesome things for your memories.

ours

Dd

[Harlowe]

Awesome photographer Ddrak! Yeah, I probably should find one of those soonish. We're just sort of going back and forth between ourpark and Vegas. He's open to either, but I think (weather permitting) he likes the outside idea more than Vegas, but he'll be happy doing either.

Free, see that's awesome, she thinks like me. With regards to the guy that BORROWED an assload of money for a wedding - I can't think of a worse way to start a life together than creating a big debt, unless it's buying a house.

[Freecare Spiritwise]

Our photgrapher was included in the package and did a surprisingly good job. The only thing that wasn't included was the minister saying "I'm going to leave you alone in a room with God and an empty envelope and let you decide how much to put in it." I think we put 2 $100 bills in the envelope. No pressure, it's just God watching lol.

[Alluveal]

Awesome dress! I Love the Grecian styles. Not a lot of stupid frufru and very classy, pretty and romantic all in one. You could make him wear a toga and roleplay. You know, Hercules, whatever. (nods)



My husband and I had a VERY small wedding. Just my folks, his uncle and cousin and my best friend. I just thought we were doing a justice of the peace type thing, but he surprised me in my parents backyard with the JoP there along with a few people. Very small, awesomely cheap.

We saved the money for our honeymoon which we haven''t taken yet (because of me being in school), but will next summer.

More fun on the honeymoon anyway.

[Harlowe]

Lu that sounds sweet and absolutely perfect! We're spending money having a more extended visit with his family and mine, which are spread kind of coast to coast so normally we're splitting our time so much between them that we only see each side once a year it seems - can't afford more than two vacations a year, not with home-ownership. Too many things to always fix, replace, remodel...etc.
