The dress is getting closer to it’s final design. I made a second dress today changing a few things…and I have a few more to tweak. I’m thinking all day everyday about these little details. I am very excited for the day to get here so that life can kinda go back [...]

Now I understand. I’ve been a bridesmaid more times than I care to count (wait….seafoam lace, purple with flowers, red satin, lilac with pearls, and a tropical sarong…um, 5) and have always been amazed at the obvious stress the planning and preparing places on the bride. I always thought that when my day [...]

so…to me it’s still yesterday because I haven’t gone to bed yet…so…happy three-week-pre-versary! *yawn* I am up this late (early) looking at wedding photography sites, trying to find someone like me…who will spend an entire day photographing Garth and I in our smiles and shiny shoes, whithout charging us $1700 and without making [...]

I remember as a girl how agonizingly long the December days seemed. My family made me wait until after Thanksgiving to listen to Christmas music in the house and it felt like torture. I would stay up until midnight just to ring in the season with some Bing Crosby or Nat King Cole. [...]

I had a hard time falling asleep last night. I’ve been reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and after I had finished a few chapters I perused the last 100 pages, reading a phrase here, a paragraph there. I often do this to enjoy a little more suspense without committing myself to [...]

After being in this space for about 10 minutes I scrunched up my face and asked aloud, “what am I doing here?”. While I am grateful to finally have a place to store my [...]

Thank goodness for this Mac laptop generously lent to me by the wonderful people at Torrey Pines High School. Searching the internet for mpeg to vob conversion tools tonight, with the help of it’s wifi, should make my life a slight bit easier (I’ll see when I return to my room and test the [...]

I’ve spent my evening, and a greater part of my day, screenprinting 11 shirts with about 24 different screens. Things always take longer than I project. This lengthened-out-red-ink-extravaganza did allow me to watch the commercial for the new Oscar Meyer product several times. Hotdogs. Hotdogs that you can zap in your [...]

I have returned and cannot post pictures yet…=( but I wanted to leave my thoughts on the audio book that I took along. They are simply this: don’t waste your time. Don’t even waste your time renting the movie (however, I am going to do that to see if the screenwriters could clean [...]
