Happy Halloween

two month anniversary and updates

I think we can all agree it's been a crazy couple of weeks and will continue to get busier as we approach 2010. I honestly, cannot believe it's been two months since the wedding. Some days it feels like years and others, merely days... so that being said:

Happy two month anniversary, Andy!

I have so many things to share, but so little well used time! Sitting on the couch ensconced in a Snuggie and watching bad TV is winning out over blogging and Christmas baking. I am nearly recovered from my post-wedding depression of sorts (read: laziness) and am SO excited for our first Christmas as marrieds, but hopefully not the smug kind.

Here are some upcoming blog posts you can look forward to, assuming I find my camera cable and stop watching Steven Segal, Lawman:
· Created a Wedding album on Blurb
· Attended Pottery Barn decorating class with my Mom
· Bought many "ownership" pieces at said class
· The husband took his last undergrad final
· Made Pumpkin Pie cupcakes (yay!)
· Failed at making Pumpkin Pie fudge
· Photos and projects from the wedding!

Hope you’re all staying warm and safe this week.
+I highly recommend making a mug jug of hot chocolate with peppermint schnapps to fight the cold!

decorating our home

This weekend we set up the tree while watching "Home Alone," which I sadly/amazingly mouthed along to all of the dialogue. I tried to only say some of my favorite lines out loud ("Fuller, go easy on the Pepsi" or "Santy Clause doesn't visit funeral homes little buddy") in order to make our marriage last the weekend ;)

To my surprise, Julia over at Hooked On Houses revisits the "Home Alone" House on today's post.
Enjoy!

Happy Black(out) Wednesday!

Normally, I spend the Wednesday before Thanksgiving experiencing a mini high school reunion back home. Years of experience have taught me to know my limits because there's nothing worse than a table filled with aromatic Thanksgiving Day fare when all you want to do is sleep.

Last year we hosted our first Thanksgiving, which was wonderful. We joined our families together and watched the Macy's Day parade Rickroll unsuspecting viewers. More importantly, it was the first time I saw Planes, Trains, and Automobiles - a true Turkey Day movie.

If you haven't seen it - it's a MUST - you should probably just buy the entire John Candy collection.


This year we'll be putting 300 miles on the car in about 14 hours... Hope you all have a wonderful and thankful day tomorrow.

Happy Halloween!

happy st. patrick's day

Last night and tonight's workouts killed me... I've been too tired to even READ blogs and I've got over 400 posts to catch up on...

Hope you had a good holiday/weekend and drank a pint of green beer. I'm bound and determined to have my first glass next year, but instead I will console myself with this awesome rendition of "O, Danny Boy."



Sadly, this song reminds me of the Saved by the Bell episode where Slater's lizard dies...

say what you will

...but this weekend I will be planning my puppy's FIRST birthday party...

My little baby is growing up so quickly!

Our "First" Thanksgiving

Andy and I hosted our first joint family Thanksgiving...

it was low stress and high calorie!

Project Runway - Wedding Dresses!

On last night's Project Runway, the contestants returned from their 2 months away with their collections - including a wedding dress and a coordinating bridesmaid dress! Below are Kenley's and Leanne's gowns- my two favorites.

Also, I'm considering dressing up as Kenley for Halloween.
