Wedding is in Full Bloom

We got our first wedding gift in the mail yesterday! A much-needed and long awaited crock pot, courtesy of Mr. & Mrs. Don & Gene Autry. Daniel’s already prepped a couple of recipes for the next weeks worth of food. 🙂 We also went yesterday to shop for props for the bridal portraits I’m having…

Omen.

Today is my father’s birthday. And I called him, but not to wish him well. This morning started with a sharp, aching pain in my wrist (which has plagued me for nearly a month now, but was particularly hostile on this raining morning). After brief discussion over breakfast, Daniel and I decided that I should…

On Fire!

Feeling pretty relaxed. The invites are out, my Citrix Cert exam is over (and passed), and all that’s left is to coast on through the wedding.. Right? So I’ve been struggling lately with this urge to do something big. And I don’t just mean change the world, become a CEO, or mother 10 children, although those are…

Nothing any good isn’t hard.

I’ve missed you.

Okay, Diary. To say I’ve been scarce lately would be the understatement of the century, I realize. And to say that this was out of my control would be a complete and utter lie. In fact, on more than one occasion I’ve thought to myself, “Self, we should write in our blog,” and then, in…

What is the world coming to?

An end, that’s what. Today was an interesting day for the news. First, there was a story about a homeless vampire. Then, I found out there was life discovered on Mercury. Then, they discovered unicorn caves in Korea. And now, there’s a deadly super-bug that’s basically going to kill us all. I need to stay…

6 months to go!

Actually, less than. It occurred to me yesterday that Monday was the 6 months and counting mark. Panic has not quite ensued, but it’s getting close. The dress is bought and now at the tailors being nipped and tucked as we speak. The venue is booked with the half-way deposit down (and my dad got…

Mamma, I’m coming home.

So I’ve been getting ready for my first real “vacation” since starting work, and I’m impressed with the level of responsibility that seems to come so naturally with adulthood. Got the oil changed and the tires checked out last week, got my roll of quarters for the Indian Nation Toll Road, lamps are on and…

Dismiss whatever insults your own soul.

So lately I’ve been thinking a lot, viewing other’s commentary on the state of the US, the world, and religion as a whole and as divided sectors, and trying to hone in on what exactly it is that I believe. I’ve said before that I think it’s our duty to respect each other’s beliefs as…

Break your own fall.

Status update on my life: Awesome. Moosifer and I seem to be coming to an accord on the way things are done around our house. With the exception of the basket full of potpourri, he has a pretty good grasp on what is and what is NOT Moose food. At least inside the house. Outside…
