July 12th, 2006 Up to My Ears

-IN WEDDINGS Every weekend this summer, except for when I'm in Chicago next week, is taken up by weddings. My cousin Noel, my friends Hilarie and Sherille, my cousin in London. Engagement parties, bridal showers, bachelorette parties - it's a whirlwind of girly giddiness for me. Yesterday, I took a looooong lunch break and went to the house of the seamstress who will be altering my bridesmaid dress for Sherille's wedding next month. She's so sweet. Knew exactly what she was doing. Took charge and everything. I know my dress and I will be safe in her hands. She'll work her magic to make me look more slender. Ha! So while I was there, Sherille stopped by to how things were going. Here are two pics of her (sans makeup and with a fantastic tan) I took on Mrs. Hokyo's doorstep. She's glowing. -IN WIDGETS I need to stop downloading widgets for my Mac. Bruno's already loaded with applications I probably don't need. Not that I don't have the space because I do. But I really hate wasting the space. I'm really not into wasting now. But one widget I love but always manage to kill is my Chi Pet widget. You're supposed to feed it at least every 2 days by pressing the water droplet. It'll die otherwise. I've been feeding it 6 days straight now. I'm barely remembering to do even that. I figure this is my way of knowing if I'll be a good enough mommy when my time comes. LOL. Report card via Chi Pet. See my lovely Chi Pet growing? -IN SCRAPPING What else is new? Peace, y'all.
