starting to freak...

Happy Friday!

ok wedding/life/shop update...

my dress is finally at tailor getting alterations, it will be done in time for the wedding (thank god)

I got plane tickets for my mom, they are bought and paid for (this was touch and go for a while but it is done)

my wedding bands are in the process of being made, they are not done but they will be, I have no doubt, I won;t start panicking until next week.

we got an appointment to get Scribble groomed for this Saturday morning, my bubs will be bringing him before work, and able to get him when he is done, sadly I am a little sad about this, as it will be the first time that Scribble is gone from me for so long, I fear the house will seem a little empty with out the "click" click" of his claws on the hardwood floors.

We got Scribble's appointment for his "surgery" for Wednesday morning....still trying to get the money together for this one but it will happen, I am only 40% worried....no strike that 30% worried seems better.

my taxes are still not done but they are "almost done", meaning I have my crap together and added up and I just need to sit down with the forms and do them, only a couple more hours of work and they should be good to go, I WILL have them sent out before the end of the month.

We don't have our wedding license or any pf that yet...but maybe next week or the week right before the wedding. (eep)

In my Shop....I have loads of new Reproduction Prints, including the set that is shown above, I also will be listing 2 new button sets today (YAY) and new gift tags and new vintage keys that are so strange and spectacular! I am still having my sale, so if you are in the mood to treat yourself to a little something, it won't break the bank.

***************************

Wow, sorry that was all sort of jumbled and not very flowing but I needed to get a lot of info out and not a lot of time to do it, you see it is Friday before we get the mean cheese day, and I have A LOT of stuff that needs to get done today, including working on the new Petite Heights for Sunday (which is the beginning of my favorite story arc so far), and some crappy Ebay work, my bubs and I are selling everything that is not nailed down.

So with that I bid you a very fond farewell, hope you all (that celebrate) have a wonderful Easter, that includes all of you who celebrate it as "Zombie Jesus" day....it would be wrong to leave you out (so I guess this is just a shout out to Aaron).

Dum Dum De Dum...Part 2 - The Dress!

morning!

so I am a wee bit groggy this morning, you see last night my friend Diana and I went out and braved the very very cold to looking for wedding dresses...

as you can see from the photos.

now, those of you following my blog will notice that it is not the original dress that I had wanted, well sometimes things change, and for the better.

you see I tried on a ton of dresses....and damn wedding wedding dresses for running so small it really gave me a complex about my body...but whatevs...

anyway, I tried on the original dress and it was beautiful, very princess and lovely....but, standing there in front of a jillion mirrors looking like a princess, I realized. I am not really a princess type of person, am I??

Wearing that original dress was wonderful and it liiked beautiful, but it looked like a costume, like I was dressing up for Halloween.

But when I tried this dress, that I originally did not care for in the photos or on the hanger...

well it was a f-ing Cindarella moment, first of all, the dress fit beautifully, seriously the only thing I am going to need altered is the hem.

The line of the dress has a very slight Asian feel...it's subtle, but it makes me feel like old Hollywood glamor and less of a fairy princess....and most importantly it seems very wearable.

My friend Diana made a great point, that first beautiful dress was also amazing, but my figure was lost in it, drowning in layers and layers of fabric...which I think it what I wanted it for....but this new dress, well you see my figure in it, which is good, right?

(low self esteem creeping in)

It comes with a little caplet/shawl and I went for the old Hollywood gloves.

now.....I need to get back there ASAP for the alterations appointment which means I need shoes and all my under dress wear...pronto!

so there you have it.

After trying on a ton of dresses we decided to have a late dinner and some wine, so this morning I am sleepy, and cold....

even though I am sleepy and cold I have to resist all urges to run in the other room and put on the dress...and sit here, and read blogs...

I think I am going to want to do this every day until the wedding.

Monday

Good morning!!

ok can I just tell you that after riding 8 miles on the damn stationary bike this morning my legs almost...ALMOST, did not make it up the stairs to my studio...I came very close to just heaping myself at the bottom of the stairs to wait the 8 long hours before my bubs got home, to fine me laying helpless, hungry, and still in my pjs.

But you know what, I suffered through the pain, and I did that for all of you, my loyal readers.

if I seem "off" today, please understand, I have now switched to sugar free mochas, and I have not had any snack cakes in 2 days...which in "jenn time" which is similar but not the same as dog years...it's like an eternity.

Now don;t get me wrong, I am not banning sweet cakes from my life, just cutting back a little, after all there is "the dress" I need to fit into.

ok, so............speaking of the dress a couple people were wondering how close I was to having the money for it, and I will say this, I am almost there, now...yes, the monthly gas bill has not come in yet to rape me of all my money, but I am seriously thinking of throwing caution to the wind and just getting the dress and worrying about the gas bill later, right?

I also found the PERFECT necklace to wear with the dress and I am happy to say it will be mine, I will take tons of photos of it, but here it is for those of you who cannot wait, you see I am in LOVE with it. Deciduous Soul's shop is one of my most favorite's on etsy.

ok, must get to work, I am aching to do a little creating before I spend the rest of the day packaging things and not so secretly watching bad soap operas.

Images today are of a couple new pieces in my shop, hope you enjoy.

what the hell does this mean???

ok so last night I had a dream that I was totally hanging out with Madonna, yeah it was sort of awesome.

Anyway in the dream she came over to my house after she got home from India, she was super cool/bitchy the way Madonna would totally be, you know the type, everyone has one snotty friend like this (sometimes I am afraid I am that snotty friend to most people). Anyway in the dream I told her I was getting married and showed her my dress...and she was totally not into the whole thing, like I could tell she was not impressed with the dress and then I started feeling bad about myself.

Then she lightened up and started talking about her daughter Lourdes and how she is sort of homely and annoying (hey, these were Madonna's words in my dream, NOT MINE)

so it was fun and we were laughing, then she said she was tired and laid down with her head in my lap and then she said...."have you gained weight"

then I woke up.

sigh....

so what the hell is this, now the queen of pop thinks I am meaty.

I rode the stationary bike for 7.5 miles when I woke up.

Happy Monday
