Dear Ocean, you and I have a date...

Tallahassee here we come!  We've just missed Memorial weekend and all of it's glory... (White Trash Bash, I do think of you often) ...but I'm so happy to have a relaxing weekend in Tallahassee signing some checks, tasting cake and trying on dresses with mom.  We are both looking forward to a few days at the Point soaking up sun and scoping out the terrain of the big day.  I can not wait to SWIM - Bring it on!

Eight...

Mack, this is for you!

8 Things I'm Looking Forward To:

1. Traveling with Willy and girlfriends (Iceland, South of France, Greece, Africa, Tahiti, Australia, India on and on...)

2. Having a JOB!

3. Getting nice buns

4. A spacious home

5. Kids, tons and tons of little kiddos

6. Naming these tons of kids

7. My race with Will in June

8. Our Wedding (of course!)

8 Things I Did Yesterday:

1. Ran the West Side Highway

2. Had Thai and Gossip Girl night with Cheney

3. Ate delicious strawberries and chocolates Will brought home

4. Drank 4 cups of coffee... ?

5. Wore my lime green thongs (otherwise known as flip-flops)

6. Tried to track down Ruben... no luck

7. Shaved my hairy legs.... oh yeah.

8. Booked an appointment to try on wedding dresses! AHH!

8 Things I Wish I Could Do:

1. Speak French, Spanish, Italian - speak many languages fluently!

2. Go to work in the morning at an awesome, well paying job

3. Then come home to my dashing husband, charming children, a hot healthy meal, huge home, and swimming pool.  Do a few laps then sit in the sauna.  Have a man massage out the day's tensions, then drink chilling lemon water through a straw as I sit next to my man and read stories to my kids...fire roaring, glass of wine in hand and the dogs snoozing at our feet.

3. Bend like the Cirque du Soleil contortionists

4. Pop in to visit my family and friends daily - go fishing with my brothers

5. Rollerblade fearlessly

6. Sew and wear my own clothes - dress like a 50's lady

7. Drive a stick shift - sorry Granna, the lesson didn't stick? Har Har

8. Communicate flawlessly

8.5. Entertain friends more, host fabulous dinner parties that go into the night

8.75. Sing, Dance, Ride Horses, Wear Dresses everyday, Fly, Travel

with out flying... just BE there

(To be continued...)

8 Shows I Watch:

1. True Blood

2. Gossip Girl

3. Tim and Eric (only with Will... 10 yr old humor)

4. Anything Audrey Hepburn (I guess these are movies though)

5. Grays

6., 7., 8... not much of a tv gal

Tone Time!

Will and I are participating in a race in Central Park on June 6th.  That's right, we will be running a race as philanthropists in an effort to raise money for the National Institute for People with Disabilities (I'm also running to get my late 20's wedding body put back together and to enjoy the endorphins that come with being an early riser with a positive mission).

We're breaking in new shoes and greeting the morning exercise crowd on the West Side Highway.  If you'd like to join, or just wish to tone up your buns, let me know and I'll send additional info about the race or where to meet us for a morning yoggg!

I been gettn' crafty ya'll

I have finally learned how to work my sewing machine (thank you m+d) and have been sewing up a storm.  I'm telling everyone... "I think I can make that."  Today I've cut up some old brides maid dresses and made them into pillows!  Ain't that economical!?

Bottles Galore!

Merci beaucoup a ma famille for so much collecting!

Playing "Dress" Up with Mack

On a special trip out to CO to meet my new little love, Elsie Anne, I was treated to a night with the girls (EA, Mack and Laurie) and a LOT of Laurie's "better than sex" pie.  At the end of the night, I got to play "dress" up...  MacKenzie pulled her wedding dress out of storage and I jumped into it... yes, it's still got that magic.  Beautiful, comfortable and one of a kind!  Now all I gotta do is find MY dress!
