Disturbing photo of the day...

The other day I found a picture that
I thought was funny at first,

but then disturbing the more I looked at it:



First: what are those creepy boys doing in the back?

Second: WHAT in heaven's name is she wearing?!

Thirdly: What is the groom thinking?!!?!!

Update:

Still raining.
Number of free iced coffees yesterday: 2
Interesting website discoveries:
www.wardrobeexchange.com
One more person moved out of Kairos yesterday.
Her room was awfully empty last night.
However, someone else moved right in,
but posted no monkeys on the wall....

Free Coffee!

Yesterday was such a rainy day.



I had so many plans for what I would do after work, but because of the ridiculous rain, all the plans had to be put on hold. So instead, I drove to Dunkin Donuts because I had a Free Pepperoni Pizza coupon, but when I got there, they told me they didn't have the equipment to make them yet, but they gave me a free donut (score!) and I drove down the road to the next Dunkin Donuts (yeah, there are that many in NE Ohio) and they had the pizzas, so I got a free pizza and a 63cent Polar Pop from Circle K. I then drove home and decided I would take a "Rainy Day Nap" for like half and hour or so.... hehe. I went to sleep at 3:38 pm, and woke up 4hrs later at 7:47 pm. I couldn't believe I had slept that long... so I went downstairs where Ryan, Jamie and Mark were cooking macaroni salad, and I helped/slept while they really did all the work. Then, (naturally) I decided I wanted to make banana pudding, but I only had the bananas and the vanilla wafers, not the putting so I went to the store to get that! mm mm!! it was delicious!



Then Jamie and I watched Grey's Anatomy online... THEN took the quizzes to see which cast member we were most like... I am Izzie and McDreamy, and Jamie is Izzie and George. It was a great day, but not all was lost... I went on a walk with Mark at like 1:30 for almost 2 miles.

The real reason for this post is this website:

http://www.etsy.com/storque/section/spotlight/article/
handmade-wedding-series-eat-greener-food-with-emily-of-eco-c/1460/

The author of one of my favorite books ( Eco Chic Weddings ) and one of my favorite web pages (www.Etsy.com) came together on one page and talked about weddings going green, and how to support Fair Trade, organic, local, or handmade producers while still having the wedding you've dreamed of. Read the article and let me know what you think!




ps- Today is FREE iced coffee day at Dunkin Donuts!!!

New Ideas

Its a beautiful morning here in Ohio! The sun is shinning and the HI is 69 degrees... Today I plan on doing some gardening at Grandma and Grandpa's, then helping Ryan plant the garden at our house. Its a great day to work outside and feel the earth with your fingers! (plus, working in the sun always helps the quest for a tan) :)

I found a new blog today... http://justjaime28.wordpress.com/

So it inspired me.... I thought... "why don't I blog my findings of SWEET wedding ideas, party pictures, and creative misc!? It would be a great way of saving things I find (instead of having hundreds of bookmarks) AND a great way to share things with friends and/or clients... mmm..... :)

So here goes!

I have been talking for a while about having a Fall/Barn wedding...
and today I found this picture(from the blog listed above):



Then these pictures from this website (http://www.fearrington.com/house/weddingbarn.asp#5):




and a couple more:



What I really have in mind is a more natural feeling... dirt floors, horse tackle in stalls, a little hay lying around (like the 1st picture)... you get the idea. Its pretty exciting really!

So those are my ideas for the day... comments or suggestions welcome!
