Title should be, “12 Resons why I will be single forever.” Real title, “Twelve tips for singles at weddings” – The Washington Post

31 May

I think this woman really has to be joking with some of this.  Let’s start with Tip 11: Play with the kids. She thinks it will make you look attractive to others I think it might be creepy to the parents (since you’re a stranger).  Then there is my personal fav, Tip 12: Get yourself adopted. – WTF is that? Her advise is to have another couple adopt you for the night. It sounds like she is advising a threesome. This whole thing is weird.

I say if you are single at a wedding, just be normal. That’s all.

Memorial Day weekend – The kick off of sun, fun and SALES!

25 May
The @Nordstrom half yearly sale comes but twice a year and there is no better time for it than  Memorial Day weekend! I love to wear dresses in the summer and this is my favorite time of year to buy them. If you are like me you will need them for all the bridals showers this summer is full of. 
Dresses are items you need to purchase when you see one you love. When even I go out in search of a dress I find nothing. Have a few in your closet, ready to go and you will away have something to wear. 
Oh and let’s get one thing straight, I know it might seem like I work for Nordstrom because I talk about it so much but I don’t. I just love it there. 
 
Here are some of my favorites from the Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale:
  1. Donna Morgan Bloused Jersey Dress with Contrast Hem
 Original Price: $148
 Sale Price: $84.90 

 2. Adrianna Papell One Shoulder Polka Dot Chiffon Dress
  Original Price: $138

 3. Laundry by Shelly Segal Lace Mini Dress
 Original Price: $245
 Sale Price: $121.90
  4. Juicy Couture ‘Hyacinth’ Print Silk Dress
  Original Price: $298
  Sale Price: $174.90 
 

I could keep going on and on but I figured I’d stop the list to free up some of your shopping time. Happy shopping and sunning this weekend!

American Idol…

23 May

Is there anything else on TV ever? I know most people love AI but I’m a little ( a lot) bored of it. I am only interested in the last 10 minutes. The rest – It’s just unnecessary filler. You have to admit, 2 hours is a little excessive. 

Well Good Luck Phil & Jessica, I’ll be catching up on Shameless until 9:50.

Invitation Etiquette, there is some I obviously did not abide by it.

23 May

Etiquette says that printing “Adult Reception Only” or “Adult Reception immediately to follow” on the invitation itself is bad manners. They say the way you address the envelope dictates who is invited. Just because one dude decided that was the rule doesn’t mean it really is. Who died and made that person king of the world? 

Now, don’t get me wrong I am actually one to follow the rules & etiquette sometimes so I agree. The envelope should suffice but, I do not trust that everyone knows that. For example, have you ever been to a black tie event and there is still one person in khakis? Yes, you have. Guess what? Black Tie was printed on the invitation! I know it is not the same thing but I think it is just fine to cover all your bases. 

For both of you interested in reading my blog, I put the words, “Adult reception immediately to follow” in bright colors on my invitations. You know why I did that? (One of the two of you out there might be interested.)

Here are some of the reasons:

1. We are poor and therefore cheap so, including more than 2 kids would have put us over and above our budget.

2. The inclusion of kids would have put us over the capacity limit.

3. We wanted all the parents to have a nice night out and get shitty without worrying about having to be mommy & daddy at the same time. 

 Bottom line, rules are meant to be broken so I say break them if you have to. If I was rich and had a space to hold 500 people kids would be more than welcome but I don’t. We didn’t want to risk it and I am positive that everyone on our guest list completely understands. 

Toots!

You know you’re old when…

22 May

When you are sitting in your living room having a nice peaceful night watching TV when you suddenly get started by a car driving by with loud “bumpin” music. What a racket.

You also know you’re old when…You use the word “Racket” and you’re not talking about tennis. 

Additon from contributor – “You’re also old when you say ‘that’s so sharp’ and aren’t talking about a pencil, but an outfit.”

Is anyone else getting sick of watching

22 May

Is anyone else getting sick of watching glorified talent shows on TV every single night?

Ever wonder why the Bride & Groom are so happy on the wedding day? All the planning is OVER!

21 May

I really think that wedding planning is a test. A test to see if you and your fiancé can really hack it together ’til death do you part. Thank God I have a few close friends getting married around the same time as me because I though I was just a stone cold bitch. 

For example, recently one of my BFFs was venting and she said, “Ok so is it me or is almost every aspect of wedding planning an argument?? Maybe it’s just me.”

To answer your question my dear BFF, it is NOT just you, you are not the only blushing bride out there that wants to punch yourself (or others) in the face.  It’s almost like everything wedding planning related is a weird illusion to trick into hating the person you are marring. Suddenly you and your once perfect partner are arguing about the most ridiculous things like lined envelopes. Who gives a shit about lined envelopes in normal life? The envelope is the first thing to hit the trash. (Clearly, this is a hot button issue with me.) 

The weirdest thing is that it IS a test. If you and your fiancé can get through planning a wedding you can get through anything. All the blood, sweat & tears (and money) that you BOTH pour into this one day (6 hour) event will be well worth it. It’s almost like all the hours you spend at the gym. You hate the gym, you hate the bike, you hate the weights, you hate the skinny bitches that are there for no reason and I secretly want to spike there Vitamin Water with sticks of butter, but you continue to work out anyway. You do this because you know deep down it will all work out in the end. Then suddenly one day, your skinny jeans fit perfectly! It’s the same as wedding planning. You spend so much time and effort answering everyone else’s questions, trying to make everyone happy, making sure this one & that one are included, freaking out that something is bound to go wrong but it will always work out. 

That is why the bride and the groom are so happy on their wedding day. They already knew they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together but the fact that the planning is over – Now that’s why I believe they smile so big and they cry tears of joy.

Toots for today!
