I love this quirky wedding look.

Who would have thought a little button up sweater would ever go with a formal wedding dress.

But, I got married in a barn…so what do I know?!

Hmmmmm.. these 2 photos look familiar….

My favorite

Lovely, eh?

It’s raining babies

July 27, 2011

No, not mine.
This weekend I co-threw a baby shower for a friend in Wenatchee.

We had a good turn out and great weather.

The baby to be is named Dakota and he will be joining us in September!

I was in charge of decor and activities for the day.
We did jungle theme.
Here is the banner I crafted for the party.

The CCC (CupCake Cake)

It is suppose to be a baby carriage… see it?!

Note: I did not make this.

If you want a few giggles and some horrible examples of more CCC’s go HERE

On the other hand…. it could have been worse…

Want to see more?

Worst Shower Cakes

Back to the party.

The Grandmother to be made a great diaper cake full of goodies!
This is not edible in case you don’t know what a diaper cake is.
Google it.
I’m sick of Linking stuff.

The diaper cake I brought!

For an activity and alternative to the dreaded games we did Onsie decorating!

Finished Products

The two I made

The sister in law’s

(SO cute!)

And she is also preggo with a due date the following month!

For the long drive back to Seattle of course I had to make a pit stop for a Cherry Limeaid.

We don’t have Sonic near by us, so this is my self reward when I head back East.

A weekend well spent!

Picking your battles and the 5 ft Chicken

July 26, 2011

Recently I was introduced to a new blog written by a hilarious woman, The Bloggess, who writes for the Houston Chronicle.

This particular blog entry had me laughing out loud and spitting out my lunch.

I immediately forwarded it on to all my friends.

Who in turn forwarded it to their friends and the beat goes on.
If it hasn’t made it’s way to you yet, you can read it HERE.
It is a story about picking your battles and the repercussions of a bad argument, which may or may not include a 5 foot metal chicken named Beyonce’.

I received a lot of replies from female friends telling they thought this post great and how awesome it would be to obtain Beyonce’ to leave on door steps of unsuspecting folk.

However, there was one nay sayer, my husband.

He did not find this story funny at all!

No, he read it and said he felt bad for poor Victor and
“This couple obviously needed to focus on their relationship and work on things!”

I was flabbergasted.

I didn’t take that away from the post at all.

So, I had a male coworker read it and asked his opinion.
His response was similar to my husbands, as was my dad’s and 2 of my friend’s husbands as well!

Apparently this was written by a woman for other woman and men could just not find the humor in it.

I mean, yes Victor does fall victim to his wives incessant taunting and pays a bigger price than the damn towels would have cost , but it’s still funny.

So, anyway, I hadn’t realized that this blog post had spread like wildfire until friends started posting giant chickens on Facebook and tagging their friends in them, who were obviously other readers of the story.

It appears that it has become a mission in life to now find and document all the 5ft metal chickens we can find and that’s just fine with me.

Knock Knock Motherf*ckers!

Have you had a Beyonce’ sighting?!

Then the Heavens opened up …

I am looking at “the facebook” on my phone.

Someone is tagged in a tattoo artists album.

It is a woman with a huge vegetable tattooed on her stomach region.

Its really pretty … but totally random.

I show it to my dad , who is sitting next to me.

Me: Hey, I think I will go get a radish tattooed on me today

Dad: Wow, why would someone get that?!

Me: I don’t know, people usually have some kind of reason though

Dad: Maybe it was a nickname

Me: What was a nickname?

Dad: Radish Belly. All her friends were like ” Hey, Radish Belly ,what’s up!?”
Me: * confused stare*
Dad: Radish Belly Radish Belly Radish Belly

Location: Tavern for dinner
Time: After Pageant
Dad: Aren’t you going to finish your fries?
My sister: Meh… they aren’t crispy, they are all limp
Dad: Oh, like Dicks
