Ummm I forgot…

Yesterday was my birthday.  Hold the applause.  I’m not too big on my birthday.  If my mother, my husband and my facebook hadn’t reminded me, I don’t think I would have a clue how old I am.  I definitely don’t feel my age but I feel like my birthday becomes less and less of a big deal as I age. With over 300 facebook greetings, I can hardly say that it feels small.  I definitely feel the love from friends dropping me a line and especially from my dearies who go out of their way to do something special for me. My hubs, mom, stepdad, girlfriends and bestie Elliot made it extra special this year. Continue reading

Year in Review

2015. Holy shit. How did we all get here? Pardon me for sounding cliché but didn’t it feel like this year just flew by? It seems like yesterday I adopted this mantra to just Keep Calm and write a blog about my life. Continue reading

BRIDE GUIDE: From the desk of a Wedding Officiant

I was raised Catholic.  I went to Sunday school.  I went to church, the later the better.  I even went to all girl’s Catholic high school.  I led the choir in song every First Friday of the month.  I was raised with religion and I always dreamed of it being a part of my wedding day.  I wanted to walk down the aisle of a beautiful church with stained glass windows and incense burning, with a fun-loving priest giving joyous blessings to this everlasting love that my husband and I shared.

This was not how it all went down.  And I couldn’t be happier about it.

Case of the Mondays…. Wait, what day is it?

There is no avoiding it.  As I hum the popular 80s tune in my head, I feel anxious, fidgety, and ready to go home already.  It’s definitely Monday on this breezy Tuesday morning.

No more waiting…

“What the fuck?
What’s the deal?
Can I ever just feel what I feel?”

I can thank Brian Yorkey for the current explanation of everything I feel right now.  What the fuck.

BRIDE GUIDE: “The best things happen while you’re dancing….”

I cannot wait to embarrass my Hubs with this post. I saw my Hubs, shaking that ass. I saw him shaking it all over our condo. He would dance in his towel, when he made dinner, when he won his PS3 game, but what I wondered was how my Hubs-to-be would do when it was his time to shine for our first married dance.

BRIDE GUIDE: Registries are better than Santa.

This is a totally selfish and shallow post and I will love every moment of writing it.  Demi and Michael got nuthin on my Disclosure! (90s movie anyone?)

Registries are literally the best things to happen to a future couple, oh you know, besides the whole engagement, marriage and eternal love thing.  They literally are better than Santa.  They might be better than Disney. Whoa I just said that.  Never again in your adult life will you be able to make a list telling people what you would like and have them get it for you.  This is a once in a lifetime experience and opportunity.  Savor the flavor and go big or go home.
