I'm trying to decide if I need to go dress shopping for the wedding we're going to in May or not. I'd like to possibly wear the black satin dress that I bought for Nate's and my honeymoon cruise December 2006, since it should be appropriate being that it's a formal, night-time wedding and will be indoors. I'm going to email the bride next week ( Read more... )

The Deck!I just realized I never posted photos of my newly-stained deck! :o) This was my Spring Break project, and 3 coats later, I'm proud of how it came out. :o) Also, I officially decided on what my summer yard projects will be: adding stairs to the front of the deck and plants to the sides, building an area for the grill to the right of the ( Read more... )

Well, today was certainly an adventure...Hobbes woke me up early, so I started out my day by scrapping my shopping trip plans, threw on some painting clothes, and went out to wash the deck using the special solution Nate bought 2 years ago. That went quickly and successfully. :o) Next, I pulled out the can of exterior wood stain, shook it over ( Read more... )

Just for reference, these are 2 (horrible, "caught in the rain" hair and no makeup, but they'll have to do for now) photos of me in the Kenneth Cole dress I bought today.
