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 [...]
Back to work
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008So this morning I was up at 5am and ready for bootcamp after a six week break. And let me be very clear, when I say break, I mean break. I mean I did NOTHING. I didn’t move my body for six weeks. I didn’t do more than move from the couch to the [...]
Busy, busy, busy
Sunday, July 27th, 2008Sorry for the big gap between posts, this past week turned into the busiest one ever. Nothing major, just one thing after another. Sorry mom, nothing to do with a date or any wedding planning. Yes, that’s right still no date. No rush right, we’ve only been engaged two and half [...]
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 [...]
Confessions of a foodie….
Monday, July 21st, 2008Anybody that has spent any amount of time with me knows that I love what I love when it comes to food. If I like something I could eat it all day everyday and not get sick of it for weeks, months on end. I am the type, much to Mr. Jones’s chagrin, [...]
Eureka!
Sunday, July 20th, 2008Big shout out to Vane at Brooklyn Bride for her recent post featuring Once Wed! Once Wed has designer wedding dresses for less. From what I gather, this is a site where women sell their dresses after their weddings.
So, the reason that I am giving Brooklyn Bride a shout out is because I saw [...]
More unlikely sources, I think…
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008After being so surprised by J. Crew’s bridal collection, I got to wondering what other mainstream mass market companies out there were tapping into the bridal market and just started poking around and found yet a few other stores that I found surprising. Ann Taylor. Target. Now, I admit to shopping at both of these stores.
I [...]
Sunday funnies
Sunday, July 13th, 2008During this stressful time of fretting about the lack of planning that I am doing I found these funny wedding moments in Brides Magazine–I know, I know I’m not planning yet but I have my very own copy of Brides Magazine!!! Okay, so I’m a research whore who gets overwhelmed by too many choices, so [...]
An unlikely source for a wedding dress, I think…
Thursday, July 10th, 2008So, riddle me this…J. Crew for wedding and bridesmaids dresses???? Who knew? Or I am the last to know on this one? Yes, that’s right–preppy style, “broken-in chinos,” yes the very same J. Crew. I know, I know I thought the same thing–“their making wedding dresses?”
Okay, being newly engaged I am constantly looking at all [...]
