ETA: The more I look at that precious Kentucky Derby invitation, I want to be Julia and Hunter. How cute are they? (I know they’re just drawings by the fabulous Ashley Brooke, but still…)
I’ve mentioned before that if I could be trained to do anything and do it perfectly it would be to Riverdance. You know, the Irish dance troupe stuff? Michael Flatley: Lord of the Dance? (anyone else remember the hilarious Friends reference that goes with this?)
A good many years ago, there was this great Folger’s commercial and I just saw it when Dancing With the Stars went to commercial. I love it when they bring back old commercials!
This is one of my favorite commercials of all time. Makes me want to get up and dance– or try to!
This accomplishment is nothing short of miraculous. I set out to complete something and I did it. I’m totally proud of myself and feel no different about this achievement than any other goal I accomplish.
I watched two full seasons of Damages in eight days!!!
No big deal? Shallow? Do I have a life?
It is a big deal. It is shallow, but it’s a great show. And I do have a life.
If you haven’t watched the show, you must get Season 1 on Netflix, then download every episode of Season 2 on iTunes and watch them all consecutively. I finished just in time to watch the season finale on FX on Wednesday!
Please keep in mind that my husband was out of town two weekends in a row and I had lots of time to myself at the house. I also went out on Saturday and volunteered for the local food bank, but came home immediately to cook a big spaghetti dinner for myself and plop down in front of Damages. It’s okay if you judge me. I was a woman on a mission.
Anyone else ever get completely hooked on a TV show and let it take over your life for just a few days?
So many women in this beautiful blog community are newlyweds and I’ve always loved that! The number of other bloggers that got married between March and August of 2008 is amazing!
We got married on May 3 and I just cannot believe how fast time flies. With the baby on the way, the anniversary has kind of snuck up on me and I’m not sure what my big first anniversary gift to my husband is going to be. The traditional first anniversary gift is paper and the modern first anniversary gift are clocks.
So, helpful readers, I need your help in deciding what to give my husband for our first anniversary. Should I stick to tradition or go for something completely out of the ordinary. He never wants anything, so either way I go I’m going to have to think for myself!
ETA: We already have lots and lots of personalized stationery. We have joint stationery and individual stationery that we both use for personal and business purposes. We have also decided not to focus on the baby for our anniversary. I think the baby ideas are very sweet, but we’ll be a month away from the due date and we would rather focus on each other and the reasons we love each other. I’ll definitely do some sweet things for Father’s Day, which will come just a few short days after the baby arrives.
