Yesterday my mom sent me an e-mail about a florist in New Orleans called Fat Cat Flowers.  I'd actually found them a while back but was 99.8%-Ivory Soap-sure that I couldn't afford them.  I loved their stuff online and I hate to admit it, but I loved their name just as much!!!!!!  Something about "Fat Cat" that made me happy- maybe because that was ( Read more... )

This is a very important day, not related to the wedding, but to someone who is near and dear to me, but I'll let them share the wonderful news later!

I'm very happy that I made myself a schedule- alot of folks thought it was grueling or stressful, but in fact it has helped me organize my time tremendously, and hasn't been stressful at all!

Alot of people said "you should have videoed it." The answer is- I DID! LOLOL. I still need to get it off tape on onto my computer but I am working on it, LOL.

Ok, so I've been meaning to update everyone on the awesome party that supergoober and gypsyariana threw for me, with the help of whyvette ! This is actually the second time I’m writing this, because LJ ate the first version, ARRGHHH! So I know it's not as long or detailed as the first time around... but I'm scared LJ will eat it again, so I want to just post it, lol.
