– I noticed a field full of trucks on my way to work yesterday and today there was a full carnival in the field, including a ferris wheel. That can’t be safe. – I think I see spring on the horizon. Rumor has it, this was one of the coldest March’s on record. -What should I wear to my bridal shower? My mom pointed out that I have plenty of dresses in my closet, but do I look for a…

I’ve become a real procrastinator lately. Not with wedding or work things, but with other life things. Like, um, tonight I got around to removing the pink nail polish I put on for our trip to Miami…in December. I’ve also been putting off my taxes. Which really isn’t a big deal because it’s only February, but it’s been at the back of my mind. It only took me like 20 minutes, since my finances at this point in my…
I haven’t written much about the wedding these past two months because I’ve been working on a lot of little things. Thankfully, all the big stuff is done! The details are my favorite part. Invitations When I first started looking at invitations I couldn’t believe how expensive they are! $600 for a piece of paper with black letterpress cursive? I knew I did not want that, so I went for a more modern and colorful invite from a small business:…
I squeezed in a lot of action during the past couple of days in Miami. Matt and I wanted a quick and warm getaway, and when I saw a flight sale I thought, why not South Beach? It was so.much.fun and quite different than many other place I’ve visited in the US. I loooved the international vibe and the European style sidewalk cafes. And the art deco architecture is so neat. Yall know me – eatin’ and drinkin’ is what…
An apple crisp just came out of the oven!!! I’m thinking about skipping the Christmas tree this year:( Matt’s always at school and I just don’t feel the need to put one up for myself when we are spending Christmas at my parents house. Is that Grinch-like and too un-festive? What about you? The senior [business school] prom is this weekend! We’re hosting a pre-party and I couldn’t resist buying this giant bottle of wine from TJ’s. I’m obsessed with…
Heyy, I’m back from a fabulous girls weekend in Dallas. It certainly wasn’t a restful weekend, but it was so.much.fun. I’ve been to Dallas a couple of times, but I feel like I got to know the city a bit better this time and I just loved the vibe of Uptown. My friend Liz was such a fantastic host! So without further ado – some weekend highlights: Mambo Taxis [sangria + frozen margarita] and the most amazing shrimp tacos with…
There’s not much happening with wedding planning these days – all the big stuff is done and it’s a little too soon to work on the details. But, I have been dreaming about shoes! I love shoes (I mean, who doesn’t?), but I consider myself a pretty practical shoe shopper – I buy brown, black, and nude flats and comfortable heels, and aside from flip flops and the occasional summer wedge, that’s about it! Some of my friends have hot…
What a wonderful birthday it was! I felt like such a lucky girl all day long on Thursday! I actually had a crazy day at work with meetings and dealing with a suspension, so the day flew by. After work, I took myself on a jog and then showered for a night of celebrating. My parents came over, and we opened a Sangiovese from the NY Times Wine list (best present ever from Matt’s parents ~ 2 years ago). …
I’m happy to be in the swing of things at work. I feel settled, but I also think the adrenaline of starting a new job has worn off because I just hit a wall of tiredness this week. Thus the random wordless post yesterday – I crawled in bed at 9 and wanted nothing more than to sleep! I really haven’t been feeling the gym this week, so when Matt suggested grabbing dinner tonight in between his one million meetings,…
