Tonight, I decided to be productive on the wedding. The plan was to make a list of everything that still needed to be done. I have a 'wedding book' that holds all of our information, but I also purchased a composition book to write out lists. (For those who don't know - I am very much a list maker!)

Here is what I found:


My dog decided to have a snack!

Several of the pages are stuck together by saliva - I'm thinking I'm gonna have to toss it and get another. hey - It was only $1.00 at the Dollar store.

Here's a look on the inside:


Agh!!!

New toy!

Earlier this week, my mother found these nail polish strips on clearance, and decided to give them a try. Her 'polish' was a french manicure, and has worn hers all week. Currently, she has not had any chips in the 'polish'! Even after hard work in the yard, washing dishes, etc. She was nice enough to buy me a set this morning. and yes - I put them on at work!!!

Here is the package. I've never heard of this company, but they seem to make good stuff!

The package comes with 20 strips - 10 different sizes so you can find the one that fits your finger the best. Here's what one strip looks like:

For the french manicure, you pull the white off first. Here's what it looks like:

Stick it to the top of your finger with the extra hanging off. You then fold it over your nail and file your nail.

When you file your nail, it 'cuts' the nail polish which pulls off easily.

You then take the beige color strip and put it over your whole finger nail.
Fold it over and file again.

Here's the final product! No drying time on these puppies! I'm curious to see how long they last!

RIP Old Flip Phone

While playing with my new phone yesterday, I realized that I can take pictures, e-mail them to myself, then post them on the blog!
(or e-mail them to someone, etc).

I decided to take a few pictures of my old phone that finally
croaked the other day:

Hello long lost friend!

So it was brought to my attention that I've been ignoring my blog recently... and it's true! I simply haven't found time to blog!

Yesterday, I told Lindsey (Who I believe is my only blog follower who looks forward to my posts) that I would blog about the craziness that has been occurring in my life!

Well, things did not go like I had planned yesterday. I skipped the gym so that I could go to the mall and find a wedding outfit for Mike. During my shopping, I dropped my phone and really broke it...... : ( So unexpectedly, I had to make a trip to Verizon and get a new one.

I can now say that I'm a part of the new technology world! I have upgraded to a smart phone - a BlackBerry Storm to be exact.
This phone is all touch screen which I was very excited about! I know, I'll be addicted!

Other exciting news to blog about:
The making of the wedding invitations
My Bridal Shower
The Peg Board that I made
The 'talks' with the florist for the wedding

I'm sure I have much more to post, but for now, I have to go back to work!!

Engagement Shoot

Here are a few pictures from the engagement shoot that Mike and I had about a month ago. Enjoy!

Our Photographer is Woodland Fields Photography. Be sure to check out their Blog and see the other great work that they do!! Can't wait for them to shoot our wedding!!

It's been a while....

So I have been crazy busy for the last.... year (or so it seems)! Two weekends ago, Mike and I traveled to south Florida to see his parents, then traveled over to Boca Raton for a buddies wedding. Last weekend, we traveled to Santa Rosa Beach (right outside of Destin, FL) for our neighbors wedding. Both weekends were GREAT!! I don't have any pictures since my camera sucks!! (It drains batteries so fast that I'm fed up and refuse to use it!) Just imagine two outdoor weddings that could not have been any better!

This weekend, we have a busy schedule!!! The wedding invitations are being put together - assembly line style! I know it's early, but I will be so happy when they are done! Everything will be done and ready to mail out (when the time comes!) I will (using someone's camera) take lots of pictures of all the ladies having fun - No boys allowed!!!

One project that I will be working on is a peg board (framed out nicely) that will hold my craft supplies. Currently, they all sit on my work station, which defeats the purpose of a work station. I will take lots of pictures (step by step) of that project as well! It will look similar to the picture below, but with my creative touches!

Veggies

Earlier this year, I planted a few vegetables. The picture below are two tomato plants. These plants have grown so fast! I would easily say they grew 4 - 6 inches a day!!! Each plant has several blooms where tomatoes will soon take their place!

In the back of the yard, I created a box just for vegetables. This year, I planted cucumber in the back and okra in the front. The cucumber is a vine, so Mike brought home this fence so that the cucumber had something to grow up.

Once the okra is ready to cut off the plant, I will pickle them! yum yum!! (I know some of you are probably grossed out by the thought of pickled okra, but it is so good!!)
