64. Speechless (sort of)

today is black friday. some go shopping at 3am for fun. others because they are slightly crazy. others........


did you here this story today?


i was shocked. appalled. outraged. disgusted. shocked. [yes - i realize i said it twice but that's how shocked i was]


how fucking insane were these people? it's a fucking wal-mart. wal-mart people. i mean - you shouldn't be going into a store like that to begin with but to go in with such force that you not only tear a door off it's hinges but you trample a man to death!!???


and not only this - when paramedics were attempting to save the man (once someone actually noticed he'd been trampled) people didn't even stop to notice. they were still rushing past to get those incredible savings.


how fucking pathetic is our country. i'm ashamed.

63. Rolls

i am a bread fanatic. love it cooked but i especially love bread dough. call me wierd - i don't care. and now that the roll making has becoming my job i get to eat as much of the dough as i want! :)


the rolls this year would not have been possible without the help of my darling and wonderful fiance :) due to my nasty cardboard cut on my knuckle and bandaid covering it i didn't want to be mucking my hands around in the dough. chris "volunteered" to knead it for me.....


he wasn't too excited about it. very messy. very sticky. but he was a sport and they turned out wonderful!

62. Wedding Website

....has been updated! check it out!


more to come soon!




p.s. needing help with color. right now it stands at ivory, brown and gold. but i feel like it needs another color color. thoughts?

61. You're Invited!

i need your help!


i am now desperately seeking inviation ideas - preferably in a color scheme of brown, ivory and gold (light not brassy). i would also like them to be on recycled paper if possible. oh - and to not have them cost me an arm and a leg.


any help you can give me would be much appreciated! thanks :)

60. Oh Lord.....

today i went and saw kelly (hi!) who i haven't seen in forever and a year it feels like! we played with the baby and talked about the wedding. i knew i still had a lot to do but wasn't prepared for everything she was asking me - but at the same time extremely thankful becuase i would have been clueless. she made me a to-do list and wants me to make progress on it weekly. hopefully i'll do it!

59. So.....

....i haven't blogged in awhile.


what have i been doing in the meantime you ask?


well. i've been extremely busy not working out. not getting prepared for my wedding - which is now 175 days away. not cleaning. not finishing crafty projects. not keeping in better contact with friends. not eating healthy. you know...the usual....


perhaps i need to get more of a routine going. and perhaps that routine could involve blogging. working out - must work out! i may have mentioned it before but i currently am sporting six boobs in my wedding dress. six. i will get married in my pj's before i look like that on my wedding day or have the dress taken out. must work out.


so what did i do instead tonight? i came home and weighed the options in my head. option a) do entire workout routine. feel really great about self. or option b) sit on sofa and eat pasta then cookie dough. nap. watch sex and the city.


i chose option b.


go me!


hopefully tomorrow will be better. today was kind of icky. work was - eh. i can't put my finger on exactly what it is - but sometimes i feel like i annoy the shit out of people. and today it didn't really bother me but it kinda did at the same time. bleh. i'm not going to worry about it. i'm better than that job anyhow! so there. hmph.


okay. this blog is going nowhere. i'm going to attempt sleep. wierd how during the week all you want is sleep. then friday shows up and i stay up late. not becuase i have big plans. an exciting life. but becuase i feel like i have to. well...not have to.


dear god. do people read this blog? such dribble. going to bed now. goodnight.

58. Obama & Mary

the night before the election i had a rather strange dream with obama in it - my first ever dream with him. we were at a picnic in his honor and then decided to watch a movie. so there i was sitting on the floor with obama watching marry poppins.


where does our brain come up with this stuff?


so in honor of his election i'm making chris watch marry poppins with me tonight :)


'just a spoonful of sugar....'

.....THANK YOU!
