I've been hiding
Hello everybody! (I always read that and think of Dr. Nick :)
I haven't posted to my LJ in awhile.
I've been going through some things (those that know me well know what's been happening) and haven't had the spare energy/mental ability to update this poor thing.
So here it is in a nut shell.
Things are slow and busy and crazy and nice and good.
My mother's wedding is this weekend.
We're all staying at a B&B in Castroville (south of SA).
B&B:

The wedding party has rented out the whole place, so it should be alot of fun.
I bought a dress from J Crew for the wedding about two months ago.
Went to try it on on Saturday and it fell off me. Realizing that i don't have time to alter it, i went to macy's to buy a replacement. Grabbed some sz 14 dresses, i went to the changing rooms and realized that those fell off me as well. Long story short, in the last two months i've gone from a 14 to an 8. AN EIGHT! I haven't been an 8 since i was like 23 or so. Needless to say, i stood in the dressing room and cried. Happy tears.
This is the dress i bought for the wedding:

Then i bought these shoes to match (except in turquoise, not brown):

Then i bought a purse to go with the shoes:

In other words, i spent way too much money.
Oh well, i've lost 20-25 lbs.
I deserve it!
Also, for mother's day Mitch bought me a new IPOD to replace the one that got stolen 6 months ago.
Took Maybelle to the vet to have her teeth cleaned. They have to put them to sleep to do it and she did not take well to that. I picked her up after work and she could barely stand or walk, she kept dozing off mid step. I got her home and she laid on the floor and whined the most pitiful whine for 5 hours until she finally went to sleep. I felt so bad for her, poor pups. But her teeth are BEAUTIFUL!!!
I've been playing with my new camera (tax return purchase) and have taken alot of photos of the house. It's coming together but still needs alot of work. The casita is up and running (my own mini B&B!) and Liz and Scott are staying there next weekend, see the photo set "Casita".
House, Casita and other things:

We're having the trees in the back yard (two oaks and two orange trees) trimmed and pruned and hopefully after that we'll be able to grow some grass there. I'm sick of the mud puddle! Even though i'm sure Maybelle loves it.
So other than weddings, diet restrictions, trying to learn to be a DECENT photographer, working on the house, taking care of the lil' lady pups, taking care of Mitchell, and him taking care of me, there isn't much going on.
Oh yeah!
We saw 20 Love Songs at IBP last week, it was wonderful!
I laughed, I cried, I laughed and cried at the same time...
ALL FEMALES SHOULD TREAT THEMSELVES TO TICKETS...
soooooo funny and true.

Sorry to vomit forth such a large update all at the same time, but i better do it while i'm in the mood or it's never gonna happen!
P.S.
got any suggestions for a place to get a mani/pedi that's not too expensive, but is clean???
Gotta get one before Thursday...
