Things Dee Has Learned

Happy Monday! We had a super low-key weekend. Probably the last for a while since we are just under 6-weeks from the wedding.

I did learn a few things this weekend and thought I would share.

#1. I really love the china pattern I chose for us. Yes, the wedding gifts are rolling in and I've received several of my place settings. I was super, duper excited to put some of them on display!

Here's a closer look. Brad isn't as crazy about the whole china thing(thinks it's too expensive), but I am SUPER EXCITED and know that despite what some people say -- we will totally use it. PROMISE!

#2. I have AWESOME friends. My friend Beth is doing a wedding countdown by sending me cards and little gifts each week. She started last week(week 7)with this door sachet, and Saturday I got a card from her. Thank Beth

#3. I love Riedel wine glasses. We learned about the significance of them while in Napa. They are truly THE glasses for wine lovers. Seriously, wine tastes better out of them. Weird I know but it does. We went to a class at a winery and learned this first-hand.
We got 2 sets of them over the weekend as wedding gifts.

#4. Future hubs loves him some FIFA Soccer 2010. It's not just him either but his 2 friends. On Saturday afternoon they actually had a FIFA tourney at one of the guys house. 6-hours of some FIFA. Nice..

#5. The Buddy continues to be a rock star. He might get scared of big orange construction cones and other items but he was a-okay going to the vet this morning. He's always been like that.
Oh - and it's just his annual checkup. Little man is feeling just fine.

#6. While I love me some Real Housewives of OC(got caught up this weekend) -- I'm just not crazy about the newest housewife Alexis.
Can she be more insecure about her marriage? I'm just saying - I think she's mentioned at least 5x's that she has to look good because there are other pretty women out there that she wouldn't want her hubby to run off with.
Also, their whole 'Christian/church' thing. While I'm sure it's real - it's a little 'over-dramatic'about it if you ask me. Sorry. I'll probably get a tongue lashing for that one.

Well, that's it for today. Have a GREAT week!

I love that Buddy is scared of big orange construction cones. Hilarious! What a punkin.

Need to catch up on the Housewives. Right now, I'm in Bachelor trash heaven.

I love your china! What a pretty pattern you picked out.

Mr. Potts and I need to invest in some Riedel glasses. We're trying to pare some things down at our house, so perhaps we'll be able to replace some older glasses with newer ones.

I don't like any of the housewives, but I LOVE watching. Don't agree with anything they say or do most of the time. Isn't that weird? I still watch, though. Don't miss a beat.

Tony was just talking about Riedel glasses yesterday. He said the same things you did. I guess we'll add them to the registry!

Love hearing about all the gifts you guys got--we're still trying to figure out WHERE to register. I think we've finally narrowed it down to Target and Bed Bath & Beyond. Where did you guys register?

Don't miss the Housewives either; love it!

Thanks, Dee! You and your (soon to be) Hubby look like you're lots of fun too!
Congrats on the upcoming wedding. How exciting! Love your china pattern. My china is still sitting in boxes with the bubble wrap on it. Never been used. Nice, huh?? You can tell we do a lot of formal entertaining! :)

Also so with you on the newest Housewife!

Could Buddy be any cuter? I think not!

Love your china!
