Tales of Me and the Husband

I got remarried!

What?!  No I didn’t.  This is most definitely still Tales of Me and the ONE Husband.  The real story is a friend asked for some help with his photography portfolio, and what girl doesn’t want to get back in their wedding dress and play bride for a day?  You?  Okay, well, never mind.

I did and it was fun.  Here are just a few of me, by my lonesome (no groom in this mock wedding), pretending to be a bride again.

If you’re in the Boston area and you need a wedding photog, consider Peter.

have a good weekend.

i made this for company the other night.  
it is always delicious, never ceases to delight the tastebuds.
advice: don’t flip the chicken too soon 
or the coating will stick to the pan instead of the chicken.
it’s barefoot contessa’s parmesan chicken with arugula and lemon vinaigerette.
i looooove all her recipes.
i also got this.  for $14.99.  i bet you wanna know where.
and finally, did you know you can customize a bike at urban outfiitters now?
i think this is the one i’d get.

that’s it.  have a good weekend.

Guest Post: A Bit of Shine

Something about having a bit of shine makes me grin ear to ear.  A lovely dress paired with an ever so girlie heel would make even the most average night extra special. I could easily see a few buds from the garden looking rather decadent in a prettyvase. The linen pouch could easily make me giddy every time I pulled it out of my tote. A pink and gold note would be fun to not only send out but to use as well. This particular pouf I really do have and makes extra seating look ever so good. Reading a classic can never get old, but add a stunning cover and I will never want to put it down. Oh, and my love for a bit of shine even extends to my daughter, these salt-water sandals are already on her radar for next summer.

Thank you Bridget for allowing me to add a little dose of shine today on your most wonderful blog!

Gracie’s first day at the beach.

She loved it.  Couldn’t get enough.  I think the whole salt water thing confused her a bit though because she blinked her eyes a lot (girlfriend’s only used to lakes).  As soon as we got on the beach she pooped (thank the Lord Jesus I brought a bag) and while she was pooping, her ball was rolling away, and–she cannot let that thing out of her sight–so she was pooping, walking, pooping, walking… I wanted to kill her as I scurried along picking up droppings before the wave came and took them away.  If aliens were looking down, they’d really think dogs ruled, wouldn’t they?  I felt a lot like Owen Wilson in Marley & Me.  I’m the dog-owner that gets all the other dogs kicked off the beach.  Luckily, that didn’t happen.  Dogs are allowed on the beach here after September 15 so along with dogs… sometimes you get, well, poop.  But, I took her poop with me.

photo-editing.

question: i am going to blow up a few of our pictures from our family photo shoot… problem is, i don’t have photoshop and i want some cool filters put on them.  any of you either do this yourself or know a photographer who does?  i sort of know what i want and i can pay, oh yes i can.

music, nephew, and random things i am bookmarking these days.

the music i have on repeat these days…

Get a playlist! Standalone player Get Ringtones

  

are there any other seal fans out there?  i have loved him a long time…
his voice is soooooooooooooo lovely to me.
  

another nephew pic.

i cannot wait to smoooojjjj the little guy with love.  
i don’t think smoooojjj is a word but its just what i want to do to him.

who chose “none, i hate it here.” on my poll?
maybe you were just calling my bluff…
in which case, touché, my friend, touché.
but if you really do hate it here……
let’s not go there.

i love this dress.

and $34.99?!  wish it weren’t sold out of mah size.
sorry if you love it too.  
it’s here, anyway.

these pillows.

aren’t they so lovely?
(and the woman behind them is equally lovely–
we met at my friend’s wedding last weekend).

she sells them online too.
  

three posts in a day? girlfriend needs a job.

i shared our love story (again).  are you sick of it yet?  
don’t answer that.
go check out the beautiful sarah’s blog. 
she and her husband are like living in europe and drinking wine and 
going to castles and lakes and markets… don’t get too jealous.
and maybe read the condensed version of our love story if 
you aren’t sure you’re ready for the commitment 
of reading all four chapters that we’ve got here.

Ash went and got married.

You remember my friend who worked at O Magazine with the very cool save-the-date?  Well, that date we were supposed to save was this past saturday.  She went and got maaaarried to her man!  It was a totally lovely affair.  You’ll see.

No detail was left undone–since Ashley is a bonafide graphic designer/artist, the whole aesthetic of the wedding was awesome.

Pretty risky, eh?  They arrived by canoe.  
Heather, myself, Ashley, Susannah, and Betsy… all of Ashley’s super creative and impressive friends (seriously).
Details, details, details, and delicious husband.
Just WAIT until you see what this genius does with his photos of the wedding.  Seriously, click that link for some eye-candy.
So, that’s the extent of it.  It was great.  Congratulations to Ashley and Jimmy!!
