Lesson learned.

I bought bridesmaid shoes online. They were perfect. The exact color I wanted, the style, everything. Until of course they came in the mail and I opened the box. 

The color online said “peach yellow”. The picture online (at least on my computer) was a beautiful yellow that fit in with my grey/yellow color scheme.

In real life, the shoes were neon yellow. And not in a subtle way either. Lesson learned, sometimes stores say “peach yellow” when they mean neon yellow, and sometimes my laptop screen lies. 

Two of my favorite oscar nods this year:

Sooki from Gilmore Girls 

and the chubby, funny kid from Superbad (who is no longer chubby!)

I’ll be rooting for them both on Oscar night!

Comic Sans

was my favorite font in grade 9. I used it in every presentation, paper, or project I could. I was that girl.

I’m debating between a few different pairs of shoes to wear to my wedding. I’m going to wear ballet flats and I want them to be yellow! Here are three options I’ve found so far- let me know what you think! 

J Crew $146.00 

Aldo $50.00

Old Navy $22.50

texturism:

there is a question i have been wanting to understand the answer to, but have been feeling that i simply can’t ask. eventually i just ask it anyway:

do you think there was a part of you that imagined the two of you would somehow end up together?

immediately, i wish that i hadn’t. the look on…

This has me dreaming of a honeymoon in Paris… 

A Few things.

It’s Tuesday and my blog has been pretty quiet ever since the holidays. Here’s a little update for this morning: 

-Last night I watched the season finale of breaking bad (season 4)- OH MY GOD! Honestly am in love with that show and am dying for season 5 now. 

-My new iPhone > my blackberry 

-Siri got mad at me the other day- she’s a bit testy that one. 

-Today Joey and I celebrate 7 years of being together :) 

-Picking music for a wedding is hard work! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

-My immune system finally succumbed to the cold/flu that’s been going around. Spending my day off work laying on the couch and watching Netflix. It actually isn’t that bad of a day- minus the not being able to breathe out of my nose part. 

Nights like this

are when I wish I worked a Mon-Fri, 9-5. Gearing up for a three night work weekend… life of a nurse I suppose.

Moderation, my friends. Moderation. 

The Best Day of 2011

August 27th: The day I said yes. 

The smiles on our faces tell it all. I don’t think I have ever been happier in my life and this picture, taken minutes after Joey proposed, shows how I couldn’t keep the smile off my face if I tried. I think about this moment a lot because it was perfect in so many ways (everyone says that, don’t they?). I hadn’t showered since the beach, my hair wasn’t even close to being done, my suntan (burn?) had started to peel on my forehead, but I have never felt more beautiful than I did in that moment. The day I knew I was going to marry my best friend: hands down the best day of 2011.  

I bought a dress

over the holidays!! And by dress, I mean the dress. It was definitely one of the biggest highlights from my vacation- spending the day with my Mom and sister, trying on gowns (some that were just awful!) and finding the dress that had everything I was looking for. This whole wedding is starting to get more real by the minute and I couldn’t be happier or more excited! 

First day back at work

and I’m feeling all the after-effects of a two week vacation home. I’m sad to no longer be around my family and friends on the coast and that my days are no longer dictated by doing whatever I want. Movies, nights out, hot tub parties, holiday get togethers, outings with my siblings- those are officially over as I head back to reality today. Hopefully this time next year I will be saying something different. Back to work won’t mean flying across the country and the end of the holidays won’t mean the end of seeing my family.
