My grandparents will be in the area on Monday next week on their way back from Iowa, so I've taken the day off work and arranged for them and both sets of our parents to meet Chris and I for lunch at Spasso.  Afterwards, now that all the snow has finally melted, we're planning to head out to The Woods Chapel so they can all see where Chris and I ( Read more... )

Seeking decent quality MP3s of:

• Mumford & Sons cover of "Wagon Wheel"
• Emiliana Torrini cover of "I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You"

Anyone?

Yesterday I put on my skinny jeans.  You know, the ones that were just a smidge too small, but the next size bigger wouldn't have worked either.  But now they fit LIKE. A. GLOVE.  The universe took one look at my ass and said, "I'd like you to continue to fit into these jeans, Lindsey."  And so?  Food poisoning.

Point taken.  Jesus.

The maid of honor and best woman dresses have been ordered!  The "guava juice"/coral color we were looking at ended up being too pink in person, which is kind of what we were worried about, so we ordered the "rich pomegranate"/purple at the same time and it's perfect!  Bonus?  The dresses were marked down plus Ann Taylor is doing a sale, so instead ( Read more... )

My cousin works for Caribou Coffee and last night she helped me determine the feasibility of offering our wedding guests fancy coffee drinks (mochas, lattes, etc.) as they arrive because the ceremony will most likely be held at 10am.  Long story short?  They'll be slightly bastardized versions of the "real" things, but it's totally happening!  She' ( Read more... )

I was going to go to yoga tonight, but on my way home from the gym, my body gave me a big ol' fuck you and now my everything hurts.  Apparently three of four consecutive days is where I max out on mat time.  Or maybe an hour on the treadmill is what put me over the edge -- my body is used to lower impact cardio.  Anyway, the only pose I will be ( Read more... )

Last night I bought Chris a limited edition Amazing Spider-Man framed canvas.  Signed by Stan Lee.  He was so excited I'm pretty sure he squee-ed a little bit.  I couldn't keep it a secret because buying comic book-y stuff for him is like when he buys me jewelry: veto power required.  Not that he would have vetoed a limited edition Amazing Spider- ( Read more... )

How does one sport a denim jacket AND jeans in such a way as to NOT end up in scary Jay Leno Canadian tuxedo land?

It JUST occurred to me that my neck problems of late may be, at least partially, due to my REALLY SHITTY PILLOWS.  Y'know, the ones I got on sale at Target, like, four years ago or something.  I think I know what I'll be doing tomorrow.  Because maybe new pillows will make my brain work again and boy, I can only imagine how smart I'll be then!
