Birthdays are kind of a big deal in my book.
I take birthdays pretty seriously. We’re celebrating my husband’s birthday today - his actual birthday is tomorrow but he’s got dental school finals next week so tomorrow is dedicated to studying. I created a little spread on the dining room table of the cards and his gifts. I put everything in one box which I’m now regretting as it takes away from the splendor of getting...

The Royal Wedding was beautiful
And you could see the love. It’s got me reminiscing about my own wedding. Breaking out the photo album.

Damsel in Distress Syndrome
I used to think I was alone with my Damsel in Distress Syndrome (DIDS) but a friend of mine and I were talking awhile back and we both discovered we have a damsel in distress obsession - we both have DIDS. We can’t help it, the idea of a man coming to our rescue just does something for us. We’re both strong and independent women, but we’re suckers for a damsel in distress...

Let’s stop making dresses that look like a shirt tucked into a skirt. I have shirts and skirts that can do this and are 100% more versatile. Also - empire dresses, can we not?

Dry Shampoo?
Does anyone have a dry shampoo brand they like? I tried Suave’s Dry Shampoo and it sucked HARD CORE - the cans exploded on me twice. Smelled nice but the results were minimal…also, exploding cans. I’ve been trying to find a brand I like but being a brunette its hard to find a dry shampoo that doesn’t leave my hair looking chalky. Help me out here tumblr.

True Story
The date on our marriage certificate is incorrect. Neither my husband’s brother or my sister (best man/MOH) noticed when they signed.

100% unapologetic about hands on the hips pic
Dear Missouri weather, If this had been 4 weeks ago and it was 60 degrees like today I would have been wearing a t-shirt and shorts but two weeks ago you gave me a 90 degree weekend. Now I’m used to warm weather, so today, at 60 degrees, I am wearing sweater tights. You hear that - SWEATER TIGHTS - because I’m cold and I need them. You and me, weather, we’re no longer friends....

Nook vs Kindle?
My mother really wants an e-reader for Mother’s Day but I have no experience when it comes to these gadgets. Does anyone have an opinion on which one is best? Clarification: She just wants to read her book club books on it - she’s not tech savvy in the least.

Easter, so close yet so far away
The end of my shopping hiatus is in sight. In my near future I’m planning a trip to Target - buying beauty products was against the rules for Lent and I need to restock. Also, I need some new summer nail polish colors - hear that internet - NEED. I also see an early trip to StL in May to visit the office but mostly so I can have a day to hit H&M after work and stock up on summer...

On Saturday we drank all day with friends - I was not 100% ladylike. Thus - this past weekend never happened.

Worst feeling in the world
When someone comes up and says hi and they obviously know you but you’re stuck thinking “shit, who are you and how the hell do I know you?”

palmbeachplebe replied to your photo: GPOYW - Let’s go back on our honeymoon again… Do I spy matching shoes? Yup. Matching water shoes. We went on a excursion that involved zip lines, Mayan ruins, and then we went to swim in some underground caves where I swallowed half the water (luckily it was spring fed). I lack the ability to properly use a snorkel.

Crop pants confuse me and I need a tailor.
Crop pants - I can’t decide if I like them, despite the fact that I own 3 pairs. I flip flop on them almost every time I wear them. I thought I liked this pair but now I think I might take them to a tailor and have them taken in at the bottom. I think I want them more tapered at the ends. What do you think? In other news - having a fat day. You know - it’s just one of those days...

Have you ever...
…done some sort of completely harmless physical activity just to wake up the next day sore in all sorts of weird places? Saturday the husband and I spent the day at the park with friends. At the park we kicked a soccer ball around, played catch, played a little bit of frisbee, and just once I rolled down a big hill with my friend’s 3 y/o daughter. That was apparently more than my...

Total bitch
I had a minor meltdown last night when I was trying to print my sister’s bridal shower invitations. The printer kept feeding the paper through and yelling at me that it was out of paper - all without actually printing anything. After about 30 minutes of fighting and nothing printed I got frustrated and threw an invite across the room in anger. Of course it was just a scrap of paper so it...

Wearing sandals because I can.
Premature I know but I really wanted to wear some sandals again. It’s going to be 90 degrees tomorrow because Missouri has freak weather. I don’t even remember what I’m supposed to wear in 90 degrees. I’m almost positive I should be in a large body of water when its over 85 degrees but I don’t think any pools will be open. Shirt [H&M] Skinny Jeans [Old Navy]...

Blueberry suicide
I got the itch to bake. Muffins are the result. The last time I made muffins I made cranberry-orange, which my husband disliked (I loved them though). I didn’t want to be responsible for eating a whole batch of muffins again so I made one of his favorites - blueberry. Obligatory ingredients shot. At the grocery store I was suddenly very adamant that I should only use fresh blueberries...

F**king Pigeon Sex
We have a pigeon problem. Long story short we are running a swingers club for pigeons. For the last couple nights my husband and I have been kept up by the salacious coos of the pigeon sluts on our deck. There is pigeon poop everywhere and their love-making sounds don’t stop for anything. Pigeons are apparently marathon lovers. I’m tired, annoyed, and about to go on a pigeon killing...
