Come on Columbus Disgrace...really!?

So the headline of today's paper:
"The Swine Flu is Probably Here"

Probably?? Seriously? Don't you think you should confirm that before making it your headline story? Looks like I have to wear my mask from here on out, SARS style.

They're baaaaack!

So the only person who probably understands my excitement over this is my friend Adam Clements. And the chance that he even remembers this is pretty slim. When he and Bob were roommates they had these fantasticaly cool fish glasses....way too cool for two college guys to have bought. Well it turns out Adam's older sister who worked at Crate&Barrel in NYC at the time had given them to him as a housewarming gift. I pined over them for years, threatening many a time to steal them in my purse at one of their infamous girly drink parties. I tried endlessly to find them, but came up empty handed every time. When Cbus finally got a C&B I again sought out to find them. Nothing. Well! A mere 5 years later, what do I find in my mail box today? A C&B catalog....with fish glasses on the cover! EEK! Now mind you, I need more glassware like I need holes in my head, but you bet your ass these glasses will be mine! Oh yes, they will be mine!

Little werid.....

Ok. So when it came to our wedding ceremony I will admit we were pretty traditional. We weren't even allowed to do a unity candle which I thought was the most common. Some of the new ones out there, like the sand ceremony, though not my style, are at least a nice keepsake of the day. This one however, is just plain werid. Who does this?!? I can only imagine the look on Fr Jerry's face had I proposed this.....

Honey Ceremony
As honey is a symbol of the sweetness of life, Bride and Groom each dip a finger into a bowl of honey and then drip it onto to the tongue of their loved one.

Seriously?! Gross!

Oh how I love thee....

let me count the ways.....

You bring me roses.....even if they are from your boss in honor of Administrative Assistant's Day

When I tell you I can't cook dinner because the chicken went "funny", code for "it's hotter than fukc in here and I'm not cooking".....you pick up dinner AND get the delicious steamed dumplings I love

You rub my feet....even though I have to beg and wave them in your face first claiming I "could" be carrying your future child

You rub my feet while watching Gossip Girl....secretly enjoying every minute of it and totally agreeing with me that Blair and Nate are boring and Chuck rules

You are obsessed with America's Funniest Home Videos and laugh excessively every time you watch it....even though none of the videos are funny

You snuggle with me even though you hate it....mainly because I've allowed you set the A/C to "artic" and no one wants to risk waking Moose to get the blanket back

When I said, "Let's get a VW Routan" You said "Ok".......when I said, "We have to abide by Brooke Shields rules though and have a baby first" and you said, "Ok, how's tomorrow work for you"



Thanks hun! I love you too!

Congrats Matt & Emily!!!

Adam and I officially passed our newlywed torch to our good friends Matt and Emily yesterday. What a gorgeous day to get married!! Who would have guessed we'd be baking in the sun at an outdoor wedding in April....in Ohio! The bride looked amazing as she walked down the aisle, her gown sparkling in the sun. And the Darby House was the perfect setting for such an outdoor loving couple. We had a blast dancing with "Delila" and enjoying our cake....we love you Anita! Here's a few pictures. Let the wedding season begin with two more to go this summer!

Newlywed 15??

So I've heard of the Freshman 15....what about the newlywed 15?? I went to put on the same dress I wore a mere few months ago to our rehersal dinner and was astonished at what I saw. I'm bound and determined to still wear it, consider it motivation. The darn thing did still manage to zip up, though I may not be able to breath for the next few hours.....

4 and counting....

So our elusive potential buyer as been to our place 4, yes 4 times. The last time she came under an alias with a different real estate agent. I kid you not. I couldn't make this up if I tried. She really wants our place, but is now claiming compared to comps in the area it's WAY overpriced. If that's the case....why come 4 times. Man up and put in an offer already bitch....I dare you.
