Update.....

This is where I am all week! :-)


I write that blog too.... I kinda get paid to do this :-)

I'm Out.....

for the next week.....

Headed to Columbia, North Carolina's Eastern 4-H Center for a week of summer camp with the kids I work with!

See you on the 20th!


p.s. If you are looking for a spectacular place to get married on the water, check out the Eastern 4-H Center..... it's beautiful!

First Try.....

and I think it came out pretty damn good.



pudding was a little runny, but tasted yummy!

Jeremy requested whipped cream on top next time instead of meringue. I said no, what the hell are you thinking?!?!?! That's cheating! And NOT real banana pudding!

Invitation Drama

I thought I had this all worked out..... was ahead of the game.... then I went to upload them and order yesterday morning. Did that, printed out what they would look like.... yikes! did't look to swift, so I changed the picture on one, and unbolded some text (before going back to it bolded), got it looking good enough (this was 4 hours later!) and ordered. $90 worth of postcards, ordered. Ten mins later.... an email arrived in my inbox.... "Order on hold". Damn.

I've been emailing back and forth with one of their associates, sending them my files, so that they could tweak them and get them to look better.

I just hope they come out alright, and they actually send me a proof before they print!

The lady said that she sent the files to the graphic design department, they would fix them and then go to print. I was like um ok... I want to proof it first!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We'll see what happens. Ugh.

Anti-My-Handwriting

So I made the executive decision today that I WILL NOT be hand addressing my envelopes.... call me tacky, call me etiquette-less...... whatever, I don't care!

With much trial and error I finally got my printer and computer on the same page as my brain.... brown, centered text in a pretty font :-)

Back to Reality....

Weekend Recap!

We went to Wilmington for the 4th and stayed at the Taylor House Inn Bed and Breakfast. It was super cute, but the inn keeper was odd. We drove straight out to Wrightsville, had lunch at one of my favorite places, Two Guys Grill, and then out to the beach. We lucked out and only had to hunt for about 15 mins for a parking space. Spent about an hour and a half there, went and got ice cream, and then checked in our B & B. We had dinner at Roy's Riverboat Landing on one of the adorable balconies, then went to Carolina Beach for fireworks with my sister and her family.

Saturday, we had breakfast, and bolted out to the beach.... after 30 mins of hunting for a spot to park, we said F it, and drove to Topsail, which was super peaceful! Spent a few hours there, had lunch, showered and then went back to Carolina Beach to cookout with my sister.

Sunday, had breakfast, checked out, walked around Mayfair, and then went to lunch at Pita Delight with Sabrina!

Finally headed home, and it took us over 6 hours......... :-(

Great weekend, being back at work sucks. Here's some pics!


on the way to drop off the doggies with Jeremy's parents! We bought them seatbelts to match the bug!

Once on the beach, I realized I was being so festive with my red and white towel, and navy and white swimwear :-)
