Get your dancin' shoes ready!

I am not a fan of heels normally. I am more of jeans and tennis shoes type of girl. I also I am in search of something blue. So why not combine both?! I found light blue Chuck Taylor's on Amazon for $39.99. I'm thinking this might be a great investment! I am also slightly in love with these Louboutin's as well. I will not even mention the outrageous (but totally worth it!) price tag. The laid back comfy chick in me is saying Chuck Chuck Chuck! The this is my wedding damn it sex kitten is saying Loui! Loui! Loui! What to do?! In my utter disbelief while shopping around for shoes I found, gasp, HIGH HEEL TENNIS SHOES are back in style! I am both appalled and intrigued at the same time. Could this be the answer to my prayers or the worst invention ever?! Either way, I'm slightly curious and will continue to google the heck out of this until I have made a decision. Perhaps I can find blue ones? Perhaps I can incorporate both of my personalities into this one delight?! According to VS, "this new trend takes laid back and sexy to new heights." Where have these shoes been all my life?! I know, I know they have been stuck in the 1990's, but so I am! So, do I throw caution and tradition to the wind and go with the "normal" blue heel look? Or do I say screw it and go with the Chucks? Or, do I really throw a monkey wrench in the situation and go for 90's trend? Looks like I have some deciding to do!

Man (and wife's) best friend

Apparently I am not the only one who thinks that pets should be invited to the party! And with such cute attire too!

Wish Upon a Wedding

I am a sucker for wishes and helping people, so this cause totally hit my heart strings. I encourage all to check it out and do their part (if possible) in promoting such an amazing organization.

Wish Upon a Wedding was founded in January 2010 by a group of wedding entreprenuers. It is America's FIRST non-profit wedding wish granting organization, producing weddings and civil union ceremonies at destinations across the United States for individuals facing terminal illnesses, regarding of sexual orientation.

I encourage everyone to take a look! Remember, everyone deserves to have their wishes granted!

Put the lime in the coconut

I love everything about my new and improved response cards. My MOH and I took an idea and totally tailored it to fit our luau theme. I couldn't be happier!

Our new wording is as follows:

Will be there with coconuts on
Will be there free of coconuts
Will be there...undecided on coconuts
______________________________

Will not be there, heard there will be people wearing coconuts
Will not be there, regardless of the coconut controversy.

I can't WAIT to see if people actually show up in coconuts! One can only hope :)

Ring my bellllll elll bell, ring my bell.

I would like to thank the Ritzy Bee blog for this awesome idea! I love bells! :)

I don't want the traditional "so and so" takes "so and so" wedding invite. C and I are silly, funny, and not so ordinary. I want something that reflects our goofy personalities.

I don't know the appropriateness of a top ten countdown (can you tell I watch Lettermen before bed lol!). The top ten resons to get married: 10. Insurance is cheaper. 9. No more dating. 8. Anniversary presents. 7. A definite date on Valentine's Day. 6. A new ring. 5. Being center of attention. 4. Getting to buy a dress! 3. Honeymoon (oooo lala!) 2. PARTY!. 1. Spending the rest of your life with the one you love. As previously mentioned, we aren't the average couple.

I also really like this idea: Susan "Wedding Schmedding" Smith and John "They'll Never Take me Alive" Jones gleefully invite you to witness them eating their words! HA! This one is sooo us!

All in all, I am stoked :) And honey, I will be there with bells on!

Life is like a box of what?!

So, an interesting fact I learned, which perhaps many knew. Me, not so much. In French, ganache means jowl. Jowl means the flesh under your jaw. I call it the hangy part. (Hence the picture, it's friggin bacon!). I am completely fascinated by this new discovery of definitions because I just devoured an entire box of Godiva truffles with ganache coating!

My dilemma lies with the fact that there are warning labels on everything these days. Pencils have one that say "do not stick in eye". I mean, come on! However, I may need to write to the chocolateirs and request that a warning label be placed on chocolate. I really think I may have come up with something. If I am more prone to being "jowly" (yes, it is now a word) then I may think twice about eating a whole entire box of chocolate. I may in turn, eat carrots or *gasp* something healthy.

Until the French can come up with another non-demeaning name for deliciously-goodness I am going to pass on the chocolate. Or at least until I get hungry again. Hmmm....

Hey pretty momma!

I think mother nature can be a cold, heartless bitch if you try her patience and that we can all learn a thing or two from the penguins on Happy Feet....
