“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go…” -Dr. Seuss
If I were an extremely creative type, who had all of life together, I would tell you that on this cold blustery morning, where snow is threatening the world, I am snuggled up under a cozy blanket, drinking coffee, and reading my favorite book, while occasionally day dreaming out the window and listening to the Christmas tunes weaving through the room. I, however, am not. I can paint a good picture, but I am in fact sitting on a yoga ball, in a cubicle, answering my phone when it rings, wearing my favorite tye dye hoodie (because it’s Saturday, and no one cares if you look business professional on Saturday), and drinking my coffee from a Contigo cup, so that if I dump my cup, I won’t fry my keyboard! 🙂
This week I have mastered a few wonderful things wedding wise, I got 100 invitations sent out, and I licked every single one…so just know that when you received your invite, you also received a little piece of me :D, lol.
I am rather challenged in the car department, rather, I am challenged in operating and caring for said car. I have a lovely car this winter, in comparison to the Lincoln Town Car I sported last winter, and I’m actually excited to test it out on the snow! Of course with snow comes cold weather…and with cold weather comes low tires. I couldn’t refill one tire because the last person to do anything with it put the cover right over my air fill nozzle, I obviously don’t keep anything on hand to pull out the lug nuts and take the blasted cover off…so after dragging it to my grandpa’s I was informed that they were fake screws and the whole cover was plastic :D. It was quite a riot. I could have fixed it all by myself.
So yes. That’s pretty well my week in a nutshell! It’s a lovely life :).

- The completed invitation! Winter wedding, here we come!
- After about 100 invites, I ran out of paint, and being that my memory isn’t what is was 5 years ago (when I was like 18…lol), I take pictures to help me remember ;).
- You would think that one charge cord would be enough, but it definitely wasn’t, so here’s to never having a low battery again with six new beautiful cords!
- My fiance got me stuck on these brain games (Peak), and now we are always sending our scores to eachother 😀
- Sometimes for my lunch break at work, I just go to Aldi’s, buy random stuff, and picnic it up in my car :).
- A friend was trying to convince me that my fiance and I need a puppy! It almost worked, but neither of us are home enough to really care for the little cutie…but soon!
- My mom has a fun little marriage blog, and she is starting a new graphic series called “Dear Husband”, even though Nate and I aren’t married, I still sent it to him :). (www.blog.wonwithoutwords.com)
- I was drawing out prototypes and patterns for little paper bags I’m making for the wedding. And I also needed a 10MM socket wrench to fix my sisters car…but they don’t sell wrench’s stand alone, so I dealt with pliers :).
- Now I’m putting my prototype into action for the paper bags! They’ll be cute :D.
- Errands are the life! All my aunts are having babies and shower gifts are the thing of life :). Babies R Us and I will be great friends through this season.
- A sample of what the bridesmaids will wear for the wedding, just trying to keep everyone up to date.
- I love to take notes, I also love to lose notes…so I figure if I take a picture on my phone, my chances of losing them are a little smaller :).
- Tis the season for pomegranates! And my stomach are heart are so happy!
- With a wedding, comes lots of sewing :).
- All the garters online were like $15…so I just made my own :).
- And it only cost about $4 for this one!
- I found a memory card in my backpack, a card I thought I had lost a year ago, and this stunning image was on it! Sometimes I take great photos ;).
- When I build a house I want a floor like this!
- It’s for real! I have sent the invitations! And will be enjoying married bliss after January 10th :).
