Ssssh. I have a secret…
We bought my wedding ring today… and I may or may not be wearing mine while I type this (ssssh, the mister’s in the other room)!
I mean, I HAVE TO in order to blog about it, right? How else will I describe it to you with the accuracy and detail that you expect of me? [...]
Wedding parties (no, not the boozy kind)
We’re a mere six months away from our wedding and we haven’t decided on a wedding party yet. *gulp* Wait, wait! Before you slap my hand for my procrastination, I assure you that this is different than all of the other things we haven’t done yet. Really, I swear!
I’m having a hard time making the [...]
On gender roles and rolling pins…
source
I never really considered gender roles in my first marriage. Okay, that’s a lie. I did, but only briefly as I patted myself on the back for escaping the limits of traditional roles. My ex-husband cooked, cleaned, and took care of the pets. He made sure that our house was stocked with the necessities, that [...]
Where the wild things are

I’ve mentioned before that we don’t really have a formal budget for our wedding. Owing to the bazillion home improvement projects we’ve taken on (and have to complete before the wedding), we’re planning to spend as much (or as little) as we can afford as we go. Projects for our home will take precedent [...]

Congratulations to lmariea!
Our wedding is July 3, 2009 and I’ve been worried since booking our site (a local park/barn) about the heat. Fortunately, the barn just got air conditioning last summer, so the reception will be nice and cool. I would [...]
O-ver-WHELMED
*Deep breaths*
I’m feeling overwhelmed today.
*Deeeeeeep breaths*
Very, very overwhelmed.
*Slow deep breaths*
And panicky.
*Too many deep breaths, now light-headed*
You could call it freaking out.
*Head between knees now, breathing out sloooowly, sucking it up so I can type*
It’s been building ever so slowly, and then I got pushed over the edge into semi-suffocating clouds (because this is a first [...]
Patience is a virtue?
Okay, lovely ladies of the hive, it’s time for another one of the posts where you share your expertise and knowledge, and I bow at your feet for helping me understand. Fun, right? {Again, I’ll remind you how fabulous and helpful you were when I asked for advice on bras, and dresses, and hair, and [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )Choosing a date
As I mentioned before, my favorite man and I will be getting married on the property surrounding our house with a fabulous (is there any other way?) outdoor party to follow. We live in Knoxville, TN, as does his family, but my family lives 1500 miles away in and around Las Cruces, NM. Both of [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )On lost productivity and color addictions
Oh, Miss Hot Cocoa, you are an eeee-vil woman. Remember this post? The one where you showed me the Pantone site? Thus began my long slide down the slippery slope of color picking. And boy, is it niiiiiice.
Y’all might remember that we bought a whole lotta classic mid-century goodness of a house, none of which [...]
