Flower attempt #2. in 2020
Okay. I got more wood flowers and dye. Here’s the results of these: I don’t like the purple. The red turned out nicer than I thought. The pink was actually brighter than I wanted. I wanted a ...
Small vent + weekend in 2020
There’s a subject I started writing about before but I felt weird so I deleted it but I kind of want to get it out because it bugs me a little bit. Andy has one brother. That brother has been in...
Date night... in 2020
I wish it was Friday. I have a killer headache. I was SO tired last night and passing out on Andy at 8pm so I finally got ready for bed around 9. I think I passed out a little bit but was on and...
How often do you see your family? in 2020
Pre-pandemic. I’m curious how often people talk with their family and/or see them. Does your family ever have a problem with the amount you see them (or don’t see them). A few years ago, when...
Wood flowers... (pics) in 2020
Anyone have any experience with sola wood flowers? We are debating using them for the wedding. I recently got a “beginners kit” and wanted to try the process before deciding on them 100% for wedd...
I have a problem. in 2020
I come here often and write little entries about whatever is going on at the moment. I never save them because usually they are pointless… or because I don’t want to put you guys through the pai...
Long story short? in 2020
Meet guy online 15 years ago. Friends on Myspace. Friends on FB. Never met in person. Guy asked to hang a few times YEARS ago. No interest. Still stayed FB friends but rarely talk. Fast forward t...
THANKS for the recommendations for the smokers. I was looking at Traeger (totally out of my budget but still considering it). I walk into work and two employees are near the front door. O...
Anyone know anything about smokers? in 2020
I want to buy Andy a smoker for Christmas. I know NOTHING. His friend has one that he recommended so I at least have an option but I figured I’d try my luck here to see if anyone has any recomm...
Before/after pics. in 2020
I got new curtains. I was cleaning my old ones on Thursday and realized they were looking rough. They were old. I bought them when I first moved in.... about 9 years ago. I needed something. I ...
SO many things to talk about... in 2020
and I don’t even know where to start! So, following up on Andy’s ex and the whole COVID thing. Apparently her test results came back negative so we ended up with his daughter over the weekend. ...
Long story short... in 2020
Yesterday I was in a weird mood. I got into my head about the whole former BFF thinking maybe I WAS to blame for some shit. Maybe I COULD HAVE tried harder and did more. I even cried about the ...
Quick- shitshow. in 2020
Andy’s daughter is supposed to come down this weekend. On Wednesday, Andy told me the ex (daughter’s mother) was off of work because a co-worker was being tested for COVID. She told Andy the wo...
I know I already shared these pictures (two years ago when I actually took them).. but my phone keeps reminding me of them and they’re my FAVORITE. How is it possible for them to be that cute...
Wedding dresses! in Wedding!
Weirdest thing ever. I found the dress on Etsy that I liked… and I went back later that day and it was gone. The entire shop was just GONE. I would be so so nervous ordering from Etsy anyway. ...
Wedding update. in Wedding!
Very little has been done but… it’s been done. Andy asked his best man, who said he’d absolutely be there. So that means it’s safe for me to ask my MOH (who I already knew would be there 100%). ...
My back is killllllllllllllling me. I am a stomach sleeper. It’s my favorite. I think it’s the comfiest and when I have problems falling asleep (always), it puts me to sleep. But it kills my bac...
Just... things. in 2020
My cat gets into little naughty spurts. She’ll wake us up every morning at 5am… getting into trouble. She has a clean litter box. She has food. She has fresh water in her fountain. There is NO RE...
AND MORE GOOD NEWS. in Wedding!
We decided on a venue 😭😭😭😭 I could cry. I actually did get a little teary eyed. Haha. We went to see venue C again tonight to see if we loved it as much as we did when we first saw it. We did. ...
Good news. in 2020
Last year, my boss approached me and asked if I would like to be on their insurance. I told him I couldn’t afford it at the time. He asked if I had any insurance and I said no. I haven’t for YEA...
Exciteddddd. in 2020
I brought up the fact that it’s boss’s day on Friday so now I’m making a dessert for them. I will probably stop and get a card for all to sign. I want to do balloons or something but we have a v...
I can't choose. in Wedding!
Here’s my detailed venue entry to explain why I can’t choose between these two places. I just like them both, so much. There’s pros and cons and just… a lot that goes into this. First Venue- we...
Few things. in 2020
Nothing important but here to just share the excitement. The excitement that I GOT MY PERIOD. Only 29 days late. Hahaha. No babies before weddings for meeeeee… so far. (We’re safe. Unsure w...
Some text convos for your entertainment. in 2020
IF you can follow this. It’ll be a lot. It’ll be confusing. I’ll try to make it easy. SO YOU ALL KNOWWWWWWWW MY SIL IS CRAZY. (And you all probably knew this would be involving her. Hahaha). I ...
I just ordered Grubhub for the first time in my life. I paid $19 for a $10 sub. Why do people do this? Lol. I’m stuck at work. I normally don’t eat lunch but we try to eat dinner early. Being we...
