What do blisters, card stock, art markers, and the SyFy channel have in common?

Things that have taken over my life for the last two nights!!!

Morning(ish) everyone,

I have spent the last two days working on paper crafts with the soon to be Mister for the wedding reception. About 30 little "cubee's" of all our favorite movie and tv and comic book characters...

They are looking pretty AWESOME!

 But my hands are sure sore. We ran out of ink in the printer so I've had to hand ink about 10 of them and then cut them out so Mr. can put them together. Le Sigh! But it's nice having a project we can do together.

Any way in other news I suppose, the BIG DAY is coming closer and closer...and I'm so excited! Lots of people ask me if I'm scared yet, but in all honesty I'm not. I'm nervous about the sheer mountain of stuff yet to do, and pay for, but the act of getting married? Nah! I know what I'm getting into and I'm excited.

This Friday is my "Bridal shower/fun/thingie" and that is exactly how my mother titled it...she's a strange one.
I made a few requests for my batchlorette party, because let's face it, I'm strange too.  I did NOT want to go bar hopping, I wanted a party that every one could come to especially since there are some under-agers in my wedding party. Also there was to be no strippers, no last night as a single girl list and absolutely positively NO PENISES...fake or other wise.
So as far as I know they are throwing a retro slumber party with movies like The Pajama Game and 27 Dresses, lots of food and wine, and a fire on the deck...I'm hoping there will be games and presents for me too, but that's just the seven year old in me :) I will be sure to get lots of pictures so every one can see! Miss V has a super cute pair of pj's for it so I'm told...I, on the other hand, have no cute pajamas...just grungy ones and slutty ones...so my mother has decided that she will provide mine for me. Hmmmm....
I suppose I should get cracking on getting the bride's maid's baskets done so I can give them out on Friday.

So now all I have to do is put on a movie or two, and craft my non existent rear end off...I'm on a classic Disney kick so I'm probably gonna go with Snow White and Cinderella...but if you have any suggestions for good movies to watch/listen too while doing other things PLEASE leave them in the comments!

Kisses from the Mrs.!

Hello...Bonjour...Hola...umm...Hi there

Hi...well I spose the best way to do something new is to just jump in feet first.

I have been debating with myself for a long time about starting my own blog, not that I will be come famous or anything, but just to document my life and everything around me.

It is currently 15 days until my wedding and I figured that starting a new chapter in my life was as good a time as any to start a blog. So here we go kids...hang on...it might be a bumpy ride.

The aim of my ramblings and musings, as I said before, is not to become famous, but if by chance I'm currently writing the research material for the made for LifeTime movie of my life then so be it :)

I want to document the most exciting part of my life so far, and embarrass future children, and perhaps...just perhaps make some one laugh and smile, think, hope, love, cry, create...damn that's a tall order. But I'm gonna do it!

Tonight I would like to give a huge thank you to the blogs that have inspired me to come here.

First and foremost there is Lauren

Filing Jointly...finally

She is a lovely girl, close to my own age from Chicago...the similarities are amazing...except she is tinier and cuter and has a strange and intreaguing obsession with tenticals. She is the first awesome blogger that ever responded to a comment I left. I felt special. I read through her entire blog in one night and she inspired me to just do it...write...and who cares...and it only took me 4 months to get around to doing it. So thank you Lauren

Next is is Jen over at

Cake Wrecks

and 

epbot

She is just inspiring in all she dose. An amazing creator, and writer, and funny! She is a must read.

Then there is the famous Jenny Lawson! The Bloggess to bloggstalkers...(that's a Lauren vocabulary word)

TheBloggess

Yet another inspiring woman that I don't quite remember how I stumbled upon. She is weird and strong, and broken sometimes. She inspires so many people and has done so much good. Start looking for the Red Dress Project. She makes me want to be a better person and help everyone. She also made me realize that no matter what my own issues are that I am worth it and that I can over come...and if there are days I need to hide under my bed, that I am not alone. 

Only two more I promise :)

Next is Ree

The Pioneer Woman

She's just awesome...I want to live on a ranch and cook and take pictures and cook and wear cowboy boots and have long red hair and be just full of awesome like Ree...when I grow up I would like to be her for a month...I'm not sure I'm strong enough to last any longer than that.

And lastly we have Mare...

Mare's Nest

There is a special connection between her and I...and suffice it to say I've known her for my entire life, and I had no clue she could write like she does. Shes an amazing lady with 4 lovely daughters, an ancient farm house, and more talent for any thing she tries that one woman should possibly have.

Oh and I forgot...we can't mention Mare with out mentioning her youngest and sweetest daughter ever...the always amazing Miss V

The Ecletic Teacup

Another amazing young woman with some super sick talent.

So those are my inspiration...

I have a tumblr that I liked to think was my first foray into the blogosphere... unfortunately I get to distracted looking at all the pretties that I spend most of my time scrolling and reblogging and posting quick trivial sentences...My Mister says that tumblr is like crack and I'm addicted...it is kinda sad.

I know it wasn't much of a first blog post, but I thought I'd give a bit of an introduction...so here we are...

wish me luck...if there is anyone out there.

Kisses from the Mrs.
