Some Additions…
To address issues brought up in my previous post comments, I thought I would write another post.
- I have started writing my fancy thank you notes already. That way they won’t be piling up and waiting after the honeymoon. I just wanted to acknowledge that we have received it somehow, so I’ll send [...]
It’s Sharing Time!
I have some questions, and I want *YOUR* opinions. Yes, you. Right there. Leave a comment and tell me what you think. Please? Share your thoughts. I *need* your help!
- We have already started receiving wedding gifts. We want to send out thank you notes right away so [...]
1 Month and Counting….
The wedding is May 29th. 1 month away. I talked with a total of 4 vendors today. Last night Chelsey, Kymberlie and I went to have our dresses altered. (Kymberlie has photographic evidence – including a shot of her wearing my tiara.) 1 month. Flowers are set, catering menu [...]
You Heard It Here… Well, Second.
As Emily announced earlier today, Blogomania (aka – me) is sponsoring her “Win a Free Blog For a Year!” contest. You can go here for all the details. Submissions for the contest go to her, not to me.
It’s a writing contest, so show her what you’ve got! You know you have always [...]
In Case You Missed It…
The buy my ex-wife’s wedding dress auction amused me so much that I had to check out the page one last time before heading to bed. The auction has ended, with the final bidder getting the dress for $3,850.00.
I loved his final update on the dress. Ebay let him access the post again [...]
The Great Car Mystery…
The new house is off of Spring Cypress in northwest Houston. Houston is a strange city with no deed restrictions, so instead we live in subdivisions which have deed restrictions. Inbetween the subdivisions, especially on this side of town, you never know what you will find. There is still a farm across [...]
Time Is What I Need…
Whew. I needed a good laugh, and the bride man in my post below definitely gave it to me. Mad props to Chelsey (my maid of honor) for e-mailing me about it, and then calling me to force me to read the e-mail.
Today was one of those days. You know, the kind [...]
If I Didn’t Have a Dress Already…
I found my ex-wife’s wedding dress in the attic when I moved. She took the $4000 engagement ring but left the dress. I was actually going to have a dress burning party when the divorce became final, but my sister talked me out of it. She said, “That’s such a gorgeous dress. [...]
Is It Cheating?
In the middle of the night last night, I couldn’t sleep. I started thinking about Jason’s Social Studies project that I had read through for him earlier in the day, proofing the final draft so it could be turned in this morning. I suddenly realized that somehow the ethnic background of Austria and [...]
Like Opening the Floodgates…
For three days, I couldn’t think of a thing to post. (Not that I had any time to do it anyways, but still…) Really, did you want to hear the excitement of me finally getting my insurance coverage straightened out? No, probably not.
Now? It’s like the floodgates have opened. I [...]
A Sign, a Birthday, and a Prize…
Do you know how I realized my life has become too busy for my own good lately? This is the first time I have sat in front of a computer for more than 10 minutes since Saturday night. I feel like I have been zooming around non-stop, which is not a good thing [...]
For the Record…
Playing “I Never” on the trampoline in Natalie’s backyard with a margarita? Not a smart idea. A lot of fun, and very amusing. But damn. Not smart. At least I wasn’t drinking alone.
So, what would you have to drink to if you were playing “I Never”? Or should I [...]
Busy…
Busy with a zillion things. Invitations. Taxes. Wedding planning. Cleaning. Running errands. Shower last weekend. Easter. Jason’s Social Studies project. Tons of stuff.
I’ve got a lot more to say about all of it, but no time right now.
However, I wanted to take a moment to extend [...]
Beyotch is all I Can Say…
Miss USA is on TV right now. I find myself muttering “beyotch!” over and over as I watch. I ate dinner earlier, but this makes me want to never ever eat again.
How much does it suck that 51 women make it to the finals, but after the initial introductions are made all but [...]
Done. At Last.
I didn’t realize how long it had been since I actually sat down and designed a website from scratch until it came time to break out my mad HTML skills to create Doug and Chelsey’s Wedding website. I’ve always been a hand-coding sort of girl, but when you haven’t done it in a long [...]
I Feel the Power!
In honor of Easter weekend, I Feel the Power!
(Yeah, I’m going to be smited by God for laughing at that, but really – how can you resist it?)

To Answer The Question…
To answer the question of the day, we are registered at Bed Bath & Beyond and Williams-Sonoma. The wedding date is May 29, 2004. My last name is Selleck, just like Tom. (But more on that later…)
No Dents, No Dings, and Completely Scratch Free!
In March, shortly after we closed on the house, we went to buy new appliances. Washer, Dryer and Refrigerator. Picking out what we wanted wasn’t hard (everyone’s feedback here helped a lot!), but getting it all in to place has been rather interesting.
First delivery was just the washer & the fridge. The [...]
Fortunately, It’s Not Toxic Glue…
With every wedding invitation envelope that I lick, I can’t help but think of the toxic envelope glue that killed Susan on Seinfeld. My only comfort is knowing that we didn’t buy these invitations from the back of the book, they weren’t discontinued, and they probably aren’t toxic. I hope.
But if I die, [...]
Happy Birthday to You…
What a wonderful day it is! You know why? Because it’s Mike’s birthday!
Happy Birthday, sweetie!
