Confessions.. Confessions.. Confessions..

Friday Confessional..

I confess.. That I had this bright idea to watch my fiance's dads red nose pit bull for a week along with my pitbull mix and mini doberman. BAD BAD BAD BAD IDEA. I mean what the hell was I thinking? My pitbull mix was a jealous territorial ugh. pain in the ass. The red nose pit bull wasn't having it and all they did was fight.. For the two hours we had her. After they brought her 1hr to us last night we had to drive her back because I couldn't handle them a week by myself. Because lets face it. If they start fighting a 100 lb girl *me* can't stop them and doesn't wanna get hurt in the process. It was going to be WW3...

Blogger


I was flattered to see that Tana of Tanalicious nominated little old me for the Stylish Blogger Award! I wondered if I should conjure up an acceptance speech... or should I just gracefully accept the award and move on (knowing full well that inside I wanted to proclaim "I'd like to thank the academy...")?

The Rules:

1. Link back and thank the person who gave it to you.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.

7 Facts About Myself:
1. I have been MIA lately. I've had the blogging blues pretty much and haven't blogged much more than one time a week! I gotta get back into my normal routine, even though school and wedding planning has pretty much taken over my life right now.

2. I have been OBSSESSED with watching Criminal Minds Lately. I love that show. I must DVR every episode so I do not miss one, and watch it the next day.


3. I'm ready to get this wedding planning over with.  I am tired of going to a new appoint and being told " oh to do this you owe me more and more money" Ugh.. Its stressful!!

4. I'm living off of these right now.



5. I need to get my butt off the couch and from homework for an hour each day so I can get one of these..
Beach Body...

6. I love writing in all different colors.  Pinks. Greens. Purples. Blues. Ect. You should see my school notes and lily pulitzer agenda..

Swap and Weekend Pictures

So, as you ladies know.. I hosted an Easter Swap this year. I acctually ended up with two partners, because I had an odd number and wanted to participate also. For swap #1 I swapped with Fallen Leaf Wood Workers.. You can check out all the details here.


I recieved this blue/white flower. A wooden sign. A basket of easte eggs and two bunnies. And bunches of wedding scrapbooking stuff. Pink and Black :) My wedding colors :)


The fiance, Kaylann, Jd, and I all hung out this weekend. Went and saw Scream 4 **Horrible movie.. Dont waste your time seeing it**  and then the next night, we played power hour at the house then went out to a friend's party .. Doesn't Jd look nice in the pink shirt? It took me forever to get him to buy it!

Seating Charts

Right now the big debate is to have a seating chart or not at our wedding reception.. I have heard to make one to make sure every one has a place to sit, I've been told not to so you don't force someone to sit somewhere..  Well with weddings under 50 people and a buffet dinner.. you def don't need a seating chart.. Well that is not even close to ours.. We are looking at 150 people.. and a plated dinner.. Make sure you plan accordingly:
1. Start Early: Do not wait until the night before the wedding to plan who is sitting where.
2. Create a spreadsheet. Categorize who is coming. Brides family. Grooms family. Grooms friends. Brides friends. Work buddies.
3. Make a paper trail. Draw circles on sheets of paper and write out who is sitting where.
4. The head table. Decide whether to have a sweet heart table or a long buffet table for the whole wedding party. Usually excluding the ring bearer and flower girl (they sit with their parents)
5. OR switch it up. Put all the bridesmaids next to the bride at the buffet table and groomsmen next to the groom. OR do something unique. Bride and groom sit with parents. Wedding party all together at a table.

A Great Way To Spend A Sunday

Put on my apron, made some sangria, and started some baking early this morning.



I made these yummy peanut butter cookies. 

Momma bought me this Cooke Swap book for Christmas, I finally tryed this recipe out of it.  I think we might do a cookie swap this year with somes friends and maybe an open house.  Then...

My Bridesmaid, Jessica came over with her fiance David, along with Chris's dad.  Jessica helped me with wedding planning. I have realized I have a lot done, but so much to do.  I need to get on the ball!  We had some sangria and beer.. and then..

My babes had a long day..

Good night ladies :)
