Martha musings

Posted Wednesday, April 30, 2008 7:17 AM

I’ve been feeling like Martha Stewart’s understudy lately. Between beading favors, painting pine-cones and hunting for the perfect ribbon embellishments, I give myself satisfied pats on the back. I’ve never considered myself crafty. Resourceful, maybe,

The American Dream (Wedding)

Posted Tuesday, April 22, 2008 6:32 AM

So I've been reading a book on wedding philosphosy called "One Perfect Day~The Selling of the American Wedding" by Rebecca Mead. There are some very thought-provoking points brought up. The book explores today's perception of the Bridezilla and the wedding

I found our song!

Posted Friday, April 18, 2008 1:36 AM

Yay! After checking out about 75 Holiday CD's from the library, I've finally found it! Lucky for me, I love Xmas music, so it wasn't so bad! The winner is "Winter Weather," by Squirrel Nut Zippers. It's classic (actually a re-make of an older song), it's

I love free stuff!

Posted Wednesday, April 16, 2008 6:45 AM

I made a personalized crossword puzzle tonight! I think we'll probably put it in the program, or maybe the OOT bags. I like the idea of it in the program, so that way, every guest can get one, instead of just the guest's who are staying at the lodge.

Posted Tuesday, April 15, 2008 2:42 AM

I did a little bit of shopping today between my lunch and my dinner shift. I thought I was hot stuff since I signed up online for Joann's Fabrics coupons and had six of them to redeem this week (between my email and the newspaper). So I walk in, and figure

NWR: I'm an Irongirl Triathlete!

Posted Saturday, April 12, 2008 3:08 PM

Whew! What a morning! None of my fears came true: I didn't drown, didn't crash, didn't trip, and best of all: I finished! I came in at 2 hours 14 minutes to place 407 out of the 700 girls in my race. The first half of the swim wasn't as horrendous as

9 months Away!

Posted Friday, April 11, 2008 4:41 AM

Today we hit our 9 month mark. This is a bit misleading, I realized this month. Because in a few days, the countdown will be 8 months and some odd days. And then 8.5 months. So my count is a little bit off, but we won't haggle over a few days! I've been

April Goals

Posted Wednesday, April 02, 2008 9:15 AM

Well, tomorrow (technically today, since it's 1am) is my FI's birthday. We're not doing anything extraordinary, just special-day treatment and probably dinner. Last year we went skydiving, but I guess that's what planning a wedding does for your finances!

March was a great month for wedding projects. Let's revisit my goals: 1. Find a photographer . Found and contacted, but needs to be booked. I was looking over her blog the other day when I realized she just shot a wedding at my venue. I asked to see her

Most people congratulate you when they hear you are getting married. But every once in awhile, we'll recieve a weird response. 1) Random Poetry Lady: "You're planning a wedding? Wow! Is it your first one?" I felt strange answering this question. I was
