I do enjoy every day! I guess my problem is... I want to feel like something I do, on a daily or even weekly basis, means something to someone else. Anyone else. I think it's cuz I'm not with my family and in some ways I'm a bit adrift right now. It just doesn't seem like I'm doing anything that matters.
Breyer's is usually what I get, but I buy the neopolitan.
Will do! I've had it on my movies-to-see list for a while.
We designed invitations and had them silk screened and printed by a Franciscan brother in SSQ's hometown in one week and had them all out the next. I wasn't thinking of gifts, and forgot to put a return address on them. I think we sent out about 150 invites.
We put everything in motion in late August and got married in mid-October. Needless to say, we weren't renting a big hall, and I didn't have to order bridesmaid dresses. My two younger sisters and SSQ's sister were wearing dresses in the same pattern as mine, and they had them made for about $30. I made my own and it cost me a whopping $35 cause I used lace for my capelet. SSQ and his groomsmen wore regular suits or sportcoats. Did I mention this was in the mid-70's, and casual was 'in'? The reception consisted of Wedding Cake, made by my older sister, punch and mints. The aunts and cousins made the food for the after-reception party at Mama's house.
Everything went off without a hitch! It can be done, if you're not too concerned with the big deal dinner where you have to book the hall a year in advance, and have to order all the dresses, tuxes, etc.
Heh, with your luck, you could get the one legitimate Nigerian businessman who really is trying to smuggle money out of the country, and you'd delete it as spam.
Oh, no doubt Hair, we're the other half.
Uh, was it even legit?
I usually get chocolate mint, or cookie dough, or black cherry, or something chocolate. Got vanilla so it would go with the apple pie.
I started feeling like that last year, remember?
I volunteered with Best Buddies for 6 months and realized I didn't have the time needed to be a part of that group.
~sigh~
Don't take for granted the folks you interact with everyday, chica. Even us. You do bring a smile to my face when I need it most.
And that's definitely ~something~ to me.
Yep, you know that saying about "My ship came in and I was at the airport?" That's me.
Honest. You can look it up on Snopes.com.
See? And I know for a fact my parents put theirs together in about six weeks, and they're still happy, so obviously the size and planning of the wedding don't necessarily correlate with the result.
Figured I can always just let my sisters play rock-scissors-paper over which of them gets to be bridesmaid... though my parents have given me a standing offer to pay for an elopement to Vegas ;-)
Not in the proper sense of the word, but we were married on paper.
Which was what we needed for insurance purposes (ie, Becky).
We had lived together for a few years before that. I grew up, he didn't. Pretty simple explanation.
We had a small wedding.
Sorry, I can only invite six of you, so you'd better start fighting it out now. ;-)
I heard a rumor that they came out with Tin Roof Sundae.
I'm gonna look for it when I go back to the store. I love that ice cream!
Well, you always know how to make me feel better. So there's your compliment back :-)
LOL!
I need ice cream like I need a(nother) hole in the head.
We'll crash the party, start a flame war and then blog about it.
All afore you've picked the rice out of your hairdo...
