Good Friday morning folks!

I guess in a world where Jeff can eat Alaskan King crab in the middle of Oz we do have a world economy based on transportation. I don't think those crabs are grown in Alice Springs.

Well, got an email that I lost the charge dispute from the idiots who didn't have authorization to work on my car and charged me $500 anyway to NOT fix it.

Go by every morning and get a complimentary cup of coffee and pastry. Tell them you are going to do that until you get your $500 worth.

And if she asks a question, key thing is to pick something specific about about what she is pointing out and make a statement about it. Doesn't matter what it is. Because you didn't give her a generic guy answer and said something specific she will think you are engaged and listening. And if she doesn't agree with your statement and says, "but honey, really? You didn't like that?" Ask her why she likes it and she will tell you and you follow up with, "now that you point that out, yeah, I see what you are saying... Yeah, let's go with that one." So, in the end, she thinks you are engaged in the conversation, she gets what she wants while thinking it was a mutual agreement and hence the most awesome fiancée ever, and you are off the hook with minimal involvement/work/fighting/etc.

And Sidney, don't read this.
I give my input and make her feel special, trust me. I am just stretched a little thin at the moment between work, putting a smile on her face, renovating the apartment to accommodate her (i.e. walk in closet), help dad with the cabin, helping dad with the 55 bel air and wedding stuff. I just need a breather.

Just grab your old fella Andy, and give it the helicopter at her every morning with a big woohoooooooo. Everything will be fine.




I wish my phone had a green font button
I do this already. She just rolls her eyes at me and tells me, "Get a shower, I want breakfast." haha.

There are some things I tell her straight out that I have no opinion on that, like the flowers. I told her to go all out and do what makes her happy and I will focus on the beer list and food. The thing I am procrastinating on is the DIY stuff. We are making out own invitations and it's a message in a bottle style invitation. I used photoshop to make a custom label (just have been putting off buying the labels for the printer. I am also making the website and teaching myself word press along the way. My last name is Olphin, so she wants a fancy wooden "O" made for the front table. We picked a font, I just have to get out to the garage and cut it out, paint and sand blast it to give it a weathered look (we are having a beach wedding) and then she has light blue and light green glass beads to glue on the front. Our wedding is next December, so I have to have the invitations and website done by this December when we travel down to see the venue and finalize everything. I also have to get stuff for stencils and glass etching for the thank you gifts, they are mini message in a bottle tree ornaments with our names and the wedding date/location etched into them. Also we need to draw in the welcome bags/buckets (my idea to do a beach bucket and shovel as a welcome bag). Just a few odds and ends to finish up, but most of those I have until next year to finish up.

That's a mouth full. By the way, morning everyone.

Made an hosted a wedding web site for a co-worker as a wedding gift. She wanted simple and not frilly. It was mainly to give information to out-of-town attendees. NOT just the wedding but things to do while they were in town also.

Here is what is left of the site, did it before there was a wordpress or any other CMS. Did it just after CSS started being used. I see that some of the CSS needs updated.

Nice, I had html in college. I am having a friend doing the hosting and already have the theme and template. The nice thing about word press is it's easy to get the hang out and removes the coding difficulty part.

Here is our temporarily offline site now. Looks like I have 49 days to get the site done..haha. http://www.andrewandelicia.com/ I made the logo using gimp 2, which is a free version of photoshop.

A big countdown timer and what looks like a resort logo, No mention of nuptials? You guys really need to work on the whole planning thing, who, what, where, and when are a good start.

Just back from a lovely dental appointment. The past few weeks I've been suffering some tooth pain and sensitivity to drinking anything cold. My dentist, who's a petite Vietnamese woman with slender hands, is awesome. Not hamfisted like the last dentist I used to see. I think there needs to be a rule that to get into dental school, you must have slender hands and not maul your patients' mouth.

So, anyone got any tips for the best way to anonymously make available the private cell phone number of the owner of this dealership?

Start a craigslist ad with no email and then post the phone number?
