Wheeeeeee!

See this orange postcard?

IT TELLS ME I CAN PICK UP MY WEDDING DRESS AT THE POST OFFICE AFTER 9:30AM THIS MORNING! :)

I got the little postcard on Saturday and felt disappointed they didn’t deliver the dress but in reality, it is a gorgeous valuable item that was sent priority mail and insured…so I can wait another hour!

But how will I WORK knowing the package is sitting in my truck all day waiting for me to open? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAh!

6 Inches!

I knew I wanted to get my haircut…it was dried and frizzed on the ends and making me unhappy. I kept thinking I should only trim it, but my heart was screaming CUT IT! INCHES! So I thought perhaps 3?

Onward to the hair salon in town—Patti’s Cut Above. You know, the hair place next to the antique store across from the post office by the bank and the gas station at the light? (All singular of course, I LOVE SMALL TOWNS!)

He Who Makes Me Smile and I have been there a few times together and we get our haircut at the same time. Awwww, saccharine right?

I sat in the chair at Patty’s Hair Salon , my hair still wet from the shower (hello, low maintenance hair person!) and she said “a trim” and I said “no, I’m thinking cut, at least 3 inches.” When she showed me 3 inches it looked like a trim so I told her maybe more…although I think I’m supposed to want it longer for the wedding in May, but I keep seeing pictures of brides with shoulder length hair and I love it—and then she showed me 5 inches (without me know how many inches…) and I said, nyah…a little more.

6 Inches

Love!!!

All together she told me she cut 6 inches. Who knew?

Instantly my mood lifted and I was as sassy and bouncy and healthy as my new do! AND IT STARTED TO SNOW BIG FLUFFY FLAKES IN NIAGARA COUNTY!

And…………………

My wedding dress (fingers crossed…) is arriving today!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Penguins Make it Easy!

Twice Baked

Thanks Aunt Ellen and Uncle Ken for the PENGUIN ice cream scooper for my birthday! It helped me scoop the baked potatoes for the twice baked goop with the greatest of ease!

Twice Baked

If only I had green onions. Dried chives just aren’t the same.

Webertini?
And while I’m using penguins….I broke out the PENGUIN MARTINI SHAKER and made a Webertini. Ok, it’s only Welch’s Raspberry Drink and Ciroc Red Berry Vodka (made with grapes!) I’m trying out options for a Weber Wedding Weekend specialty drink. (Red of course!)
Now…on to Season 3 of Arrested Development!
