We are getting married exactly ONE MONTH FROM TODAY. Today I had my wedding beauty trial AND my second dress fitting AND went to Tony's tuxedo fitting... My life has officially been taken over by the wedding. When I'm not scouring the internet for gold house numbers for a little DIY project I (Tony) will be attacking or pondering Xanax, here are a few articles I've been distracting myself with as of late. HAPPY HUMP DAY!View Article
I'm feeling like a chicken running around with my head cut off this week. I've turned our dining room table into the Wedding Central Command Station, and am spending my days scrambling to remember everything I need to do, and accomplish it before I forget again. I've written so many To Do lists online and around the house, it's on a few of the To Do lists to find where I put the rest of the To Do lists. I'm so excited for our wedding, but I'm sincerely concerned the day will arrive and I'll remember that morning it was on some To Do list to buy shoes, and I'll have to wander down the aisle barefoot (not that that is a terrible idea... I'd at least be comfortable). I'm trying to cut myself some slack and remember that as long as Tony and I are there, everything will be great. And, I'm trying to make space in my life for the things and people who are important to me, so I don't become a bride robot. Tony and I spent the morning volunteering at CHLA, we're catching a screening of Jurassic World with some friends later today, and I leave for my bachelorette party (!!!!!!!!) tomorrow morning. Things are good, and I'm really lucky. If you feel like your brain is melting, too, here are a few distractions... The clickbait circulating around the internet that got my attention this week:View Article
I'm hopelessly behind on my one-woman internet book club. So, this month I'm taking a page out of one of my favorite writer's book (blog) and declaring this month an Articles Club! I first read about the idea on A Cup of Jo. Her manifesto: "An articles club would be just like a book club, but we'll read articles. We'd all read the same story--from, say, The New Yorker or Elle--and chat over wine and snacks. It would be fascinating, timely and a much easier commitment than a book club (because, honestly, who ever finishes the book on time?)" I know I certainly don't.View Article
