Weddings and Tables and Plans…OH MY!

My friend Alicia is currently in the process of planning her wedding. The date is set for November 30, 2007 but being as it’s only a little bit over a year away of course plans are already being made. She’s been looking for invitations, party favors and plenty of other wedding based stuff. I think that the invitations are probably the most important item in regards to setting the tone of the wedding. Now, I know I’m not getting married but when I get a snazzy invitation I would assume that it’s going to be a snazzy wedding, you know?

A few months ago she had to go to her future sister in-laws bridal shower. This woman is very set in her ways with extravagant items. She had a bridal registry at Bed, Bath and Beyond that was about 4 pages long. I don’t personally see the point but while we were looking around for things to get her, I came across the Table Mate. This is a product that I’ve been eying for quite some time. Ever since I bought my laptop, I’ve been using a corkboard as my ‘desk’ for stability so that I can easily maneuver my mouse and not have to sit at my actual desk day-in and day-out.

I’ve used this table at my aunts house and I have to say it’s really convenient. Being able to set it at different heights as well as bend it down for easy typing, as far as my laptop is concerned, it really worked out well. I found it to be a great thing to have around. It really can hold the weight and still slide easily as well. I wasn’t worried about being top-heavy when I went to push it back while I was getting up off the couch. I’d recommend this product to anyone looking for some convenience in their life. It is probably one of the few “As Seen on TV” items that actually holds up to what it says it’s going to do. I’d also recommend going through TVProducts4Less.com because they not only offer this product for $5 less, but you don’t have to wait 6-8 weeks in order to receive the product either…a great deal I’d say.

The big issue that has come up lately is the fact that Bella has been very timid around people. I’m not sure as to why, but it’s growing to be annoying. She’s spends hours upon hours on my lap and it makes it very difficult to get any work done because of it. I think it’d be easier for me to get things done if I owned a Table Mate. This way, she isn’t on top of my work area and she can still stay in my lap which is something she absolutely insists upon doing.

I guess I have more future purchases to make than I thought…eh?

    Oh how exciting! I want more weddings to go to!
    I totally agree with you.. the invitation is the most important “extra”. As it may even be the first thing some people know about you getting married! Hopefully she’ll get some really good ones! 🙂

    That Table Mate thing looks damn convenient. I’d love one of them too! I could sit in bed and do assignments for Uni. lol

    Four pages long? She’s a bit demanding eh? lol

    The tablemate.. I’ve seen that thing on tv and I’d love to have one. It’s the next best thing after the easle. or.. desk okay let’s leave it as ‘the next best thing since sliced bread’ the tablemate has too many potential uses to use anything else 😉

    I’ve never been able to help plan a wedding, but it seems like so much fun ^^

    Ooh, now I want a table mate, ha ha. I don’t think I’d really use it, though, since I have my desk set up just the way I like it. It sounds good for your dog, though. She’s so cute ^^
