water bottles, pens and pasta, oh my

Well, today was mostly uneventful and yet involved one of my favorite parts of my job. Shopping. I work in marketing and along with my copy writing and editing I also pick out our client give aways. This sounds totally silly but I love it. I pick out our company pens and note pads as well as other random stuff. My current WE NEED THIS campaign is Nalgene bottles with the company logo. I'm a Nalgene devotee. If you see me at work, I most likely have a pink one in hand. I try to drink 64 ounces of water a day and that sweet label on the bottle keeps me in check. Anyway, I have decided we should spread the hydrating wealth and part of my day involved visiting Outdoors Inc. to find test colors. Yep kids, I'm saving lives one ounce of water at a time. So exciting.

In other Tuesday news, I made pasta bolognese for the first time tonight. I think it was probably the most unhealthy thing I've made in a while. Bacon cooked in butter, ground beef and heavy cream are not in the wedding diet. Oh well. It turned out well and I used whole wheat pasta as some sort of heart attack redemption. I hate... hate ...hate recipes that call for half a cup of white wine. I don't drink white wine so it's a total waste. So, I added some extra beef broth and saved myself $10.

Our wedding is one year from next friday. So I suppose I should start planning finally. The dingo has one week to finish contacting the groomsmen and asking them to be in the wedding. He just has two left. That is two out of nine. Yep, nine. There may be more people at the alter than in the church. Today's topic of conversation was the reception gifts. I'm thinking about boxes of personalized M&Ms. I'm pretty sure our guests don't want some keepsake that says Nikkerdoodle and the Dingo. At least this way they get chocolate. Thoughts? What kind of stuff did y'all give?
