No Caffeine

Today I quit drinking soda, I'm trying to cut back on my caffeine and my high fructose corn syrup. Holy crap, I feel like I've been doing cocaine and am having withdrawal from that. I have a horrible headache and feel sick to my stomach. I'm gonna go sleep, I'll let you all know how it goes tomorrow.

Halloween Part 2

So I got to have 2 Halloween costumes this year. This first one was for work, I went as an 80's chick, I found silver leggings at Target and I needed an excuse to buy them, plus my real costume was too short for work. So here I am on our balcony, sorry for the turned pic, that's how Steve likes to take them:


Then for Halloween night Steve and I went as the Dude and Ms. Lebowski from The Big Lebowski during his acid trip. I made my costume and knit Steve a sweater from the movie, which I'll have to post later since he wasn't wearing it for these pics:





And here is Steve without his wig looking decidedly like a gay Mr. Clean, but I still love him:


That was our Halloween night since we didn't have the munchkin, it was super fun!

NaBlaPoMo and Halloween Part 1

I've decided to do the NaBlaPoMo again this year, a post every day for all of November. I think it'll help me get my blogging mojo back.

Ok so onto the content of the post. We took C to Disneyland last weekend to watch the fireworks and he decided he wanted to wear his costume, so here he is, my little dead pirate:







You can see S and C in this one, they were watching the fireworks and eating popcorn.

I'll have some pics of S and my costumes tomorrow.

More Wedding Stuff and Some Beautiful Stuff

So I think we've decided on a wedding location it's in Lake Arrowhead and set out in the woods, I don't have any pics right now, but I figure next time we're up there I'll take some and post it.

So I went to McDonald's to get a salad the other day and saw this sign in the drive thru:

I'm pretty sure that quicker isn't a word, but hey, what do I know?

We went to the Shake Shack a couple weeks ago and this was the view we were greeted with:



There are days when I remember why I pay as much as I do to live in So Cal.

And for posterity here's one of Steve at the Shake Shack:

Wedding Dreams

So last night I had a dream about the wedding, it was stinking awesome. But my dress was the part that was so amazing. It was a tea length peacock blue strapless retro inspired dress with a granny smith apple green crinoline sticking out and I was wearing red heels. All my brides maids were in red, Steve was in a black suit with a green shirt and black tie an the guys all had on black slacks with red shirts and black ties. It was freaking amazing! How do I convey this to my Mom? I am kind of in love with my peacock color scheme, but it's a fall wedding and I feel like maybe it should be more rustic, is there some way to incorporate rustic into that color scheme? Can I maybe do more of a funky shabby chic thing? I dunno, these are all things to ponder...

Holy Amazing!

Did you know that Tim Burton is directing a version of Alice in Wonderland? And the Johnny Depp is confirmed as playing the Mad Hatter? I think I might have just died and gone to heaven! I wonder if Danny Elfman is going to do the music? I would be wonderful! Here's the IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1014759/

That's all for now.

Wedding Bells

Ok, it's been far too long since I've updated. Sorry all, work gets crazy at the end of the summer. But the big news is that Steve and I are engaged! I think we're looking at next October for the wedding, so we've been kicking around ideas, and I knew I didn't really want fresh flowers for the bouquets or boutonnières but I was having a hard time thinking of something else, until I found this:
It's from this store: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5767847

I think I'd make my own but I love the idea, especially getting to use buttons!

In other news I finished a pair of socks in August:







They are the Embossed Leaves socks from Interweave.

More update later.
