Noise from the Crowd
More noise
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008Yesterday I went to annual Links fashion show held at Nordstrom’s in Walnut Creek. I had to get up at the crack of dawn because the show started at 7:30 but it was worth every minute of sleep that missed. This year’s event was hosted by celebrity stylist Lloyd Boston. He was just as dynamic [...]
Where to start…
Monday, August 4th, 2008As most of you know we haven’t started planning “the BIG day” yet despite how much I actually spend thinking about it, we just haven’t managed to commit to a plan yet. People keep saying “don’t stress about it,” I’m not stressed, I’m just acknowledging the fact that we haven’t set a date or [...]
Weddiquette dilemma
Thursday, July 31st, 2008I need a little help with etiquette….Picture this:
It’s late afternoon I’ve finished work for the day and I decide to treat myself to an iced tea from Peet’s. (It is important to note that I haven’t had an iced tea all week! This is some sort of record that can’t go with just a casual mention.) [...]
Are second chances just for a select few?
Wednesday, July 30th, 2008Mayor Gavin Newsom and his bride Jennifer Siebel marry this past weekend at her parents ranch in Montana. When I was looking for a photo to post, I read so many nasty comments, so much noise from the crowd. Anyone care to weigh in? Does Mr. Newsom deserve a second chance at love? Or is it [...]
Music to my ears
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008I got the nicest email from a former co-worker the other day. It totally made up for some of the “Noise from the Crowd” that happened to be hearing all day long….Why can’t we get emails and have conversations like this all the time?
Hi [future Mrs. Jones],
Your blog is wonderful. I have never read [...]
Back of the Book
Saturday, June 28th, 2008Mr. Jones and I haven’t picked a date yet but my semi-controlling nature compels me to be doing something everyday regarding wedding planning. Today I reached out to a view former co-workers to ask them for their wedding vendor lists. I have one girl friend that always talks about going to the back [...]
Men are from Mars
Thursday, June 26th, 2008When I told Mr. Jones about “The List” he just got that blank stare on his face –you know the one I am talking about girls, the one that says “What’s the big deal?” The one that screams “He just doesn’t get it” and “You’re making a big deal about nothing.” That look! [...]
The List…
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008I think I mentioned how surprised I was when Mr. Jones proposed…well, I was totally unprepared for some of the more colorful comments that I got when I told people that we were engaged. So caught off guard that if I am being totally honest, the comments were the motivation for starting the blog. [...]
