My Brazilian adventure
I know, I know, y’all think I’m a horrible slacker for not updating you on my trip to Brazil. Have faith! I was waiting until I’d eased back into normal life so that I could give you the low down on whether it was worth it.
{Stop reading now if you’re related to me… or to [...]
This is called a bleg
Bleg = i.e., using your blog to beg for something.
Here’s the thing: I am DREADING designing our invitations. And when I say “designing,” I literally mean typing out the information in two fonts that go together, not actually designing by any means. My expectations are low and I still can’t manage to reach them myself. [...]
Plan B (not the contraceptive)
I’m a girl who’s gotta have a backup plan under the best of circumstances, and leaving the details of my bouquet to the whims of our rose garden (I say “our” with a bit of irony, since our only contribution is likely to be that we manage to kill them weeks before our wedding) makes [...]

… came into my life (recognize the song?)
Dear Mr. Cheese -
I can’t count the number of times that you’ve said to me, “I just want to make you happy,” or asked me, “Does it make you happy?” You’re a very sweet man.
And me, I’m often hard to understand and I know this. So, while this [...]
My first wedding-related nightmare
I woke up Saturday morning in a panic, not knowing what day it was, what I needed to be doing, or why I was in pajamas… because at that point in my dream, I should have been wearing an ill-fitting dress trudging down a muddy aisle in front of no guests to a groom in [...]

So after the last makeup trial, I decided to go back to MAC again, this time requesting eyeshadows with not a chance of red pigment in them. According to the woman at Aveda, many women have reactions to red pigments, so staying away from purple or reddish browns might help my itchy ‘lids situation.
Again, no [...]
Life is good…
source
Do you know the “Life is Good” line of products? They’re quite popular here in my part of the country and early in my relationship with the mister, I thought of them all the time. I’d come out of a nasty breakup (with a coworker *knocking myself upside the head*), was living in a city [...]
Learning lessons everywhere
We have a puppy.
And he’s a boy.
Well, to be accurate, we had a puppy who is now a rather handsome adolescent dog (I’m a proud mama).
Indiana Jones Jr. (What? It was the first movie we ever saw together!) has been incredibly helpful in teaching me skills for life, as I hear dogs are wont [...]
Ceremony bookmarks
With less than three months to go until we get married, I’ve decided it’s time to start working on the part of the whole thing that I look forward to the most: the ceremony.
I was a bit uncomfortable about writing it; if I know every word, every passage, every sentiment, will I feel as engaged [...]
Progress is made
I promised to tell you more about the tent in the street, didn’t I? After the Bridal Fair, I finally got around to dealing with the “where shall we seat people” quandary. See, while we have almost two acres of land around and behind our house, much of it is wooded, and none of it [...]
