Jeremy Is King!

Last night when I was making centerpieces for today's wedding, I got an email from Jeremy letting me know he posted our wedding photos on his blog.  I took a quick peek at them on my phone and couldn't wait to get home to see them on the big screen.  It was 3:00am by the time i got home to look at them and yes, i woke my mother up to come and look at them.  sorry!  i was excited!!

here are a few that he posted.

Thrifty Finds: Bench Project

Last Fall I bought this ugly but lovely bench from an estate sale for $15

9 months and $20 (spray paint and new fabric) later, i have this pretty little bench to put outside my front door.  Above it i hung some of our engagement photos in a vintage frame with vintage letters spelling out our last name.

Pretty In Pink

I'm not a cotton candy pink girly girl by any means. I do however enjoy a nice passion pink now and then but you'll NEVER find me wearing anything that resembles the hue of sugar on a stick.

That is until today! Did I say never? Oooopps...

My friend Loren from Soulfumeink was selected to have one of his designs printed on teefury a few weeks ago. When he originally designed To My Mistress The Bridge it was intended to be printed on a purple tee but due to limited color choices, it ended up on pink.

I do have to admit the pink is pretty sweet.

sweet like candy.

You can check out his debut and interview here.
And by the way, he sold 129 shirts in 1 day! Way to go Loren!

Check back at teefury on Wednesday 3.25.09 when his second design Passion Can't Apply When We're So Drained & Pale is up for sale! Each shirt is a limited-edition for $9 and is only up for sale for 24 hours "tee today. gone tomorrow.". You can't afford not to buy one! Well, even if you can't, you should. Go out and support Soulfume and get an awesome tee in return!

Our Engagement Photos

Back in the fall we spent the day with my college roommate Angie taking some sweeeeeet engagement pics. Here are just a few of the sweets.

My favorite part was going back to our old neighborhood where burgerboy and i first met in the front yard of our apartments. Too bad the apartment i used to live in no longer exists (our dumpy place was torn down and replaced by an obnoxious beast of a building). But at least his apartment was still standing so we could take this sweet pic...my favorite!

See more on my flickr page. Thanks again Angie!

Bring On The Bacon

In high school I had the hardest time waking up for school. Setting my alarm clock 1.5 hours before I had to jump out of bed just didn't do the trick. Neither did my mother opening all the windows to let the cold winter air blow in, creating a freezing cold wind tunnel with my ceiling fan set on the highest speed. It froze every hair on my arms and legs but I just crawled deeper under my covers. She even tried placing a wet towel on my face and turning the tv on the highest volume with the channel set to black and white scrambled noise. Did I mention all of those attempts were done simultaneously? Pathetic but true.

And today is no different...burgerboy wakes up to the sound of a pin dropping while i can clearly sleep through a tornado sweeping across my sheets. Our only conclusion has come to creating a wristband that I wear to sleep at night that shocks me when it's time to rise...leaving him pleasantly asleep right next to me. But seeing as we're not exactly the engineering types, maybe we should look into other slumber jolting options.

I received an email the other day...

Subject: Best Invention Ever
with a link to this amazing creation!



What is it you ask? It's the one and only Wake N Bacon alarm clock...







....and it just might be the answer to burgerboy's prayers!

Who wouldn't love waking up to the smell of sizzling bacon?
