The Nightmare Before Halloween is too a Christmas movie!! (and yes, I do realize that this is the Marilyn Manson cover of it. But it's pretty awesome.)As I say every year, I'm not a fan of the holidays at all. I'm not christian, so the whole "jesus' birthday" thing means nothing to me. I'm not pagan, so I don't celebrate Yule. I'm not Jewish so I don't celebrate Hanukkah, and it would just be

I should give you a run down of what this past weekend was like... but that would be self-incriminating. And I swear, I have no desire to be in anymore trouble. It just seems to find me... all the friggin' time. Lets just say, I have an amazing gift of the gab and I can talk my way out of the most peculiar of situations, several ex boyfriends from high school have decided to randomly find their

Oh singledom my dear old friend- isn't this an exciting world to revisit?! I'd actually forgotten just how good of friends we really can be! It's been a very, very long time since I've been this happy. The first weekend was spent out with an old friend I hadn't seen in years. We had a blast at a couple of different bars with her friends, and at one particular bar she met an old friend. We chatted

If you had told me 18 months ago, that I'd be friends with the girls I worked with I probably would've laughed in your face. When I started there, I hated it. I seriously considered quitting and finding a new job because i felt like such an outsider. My way of dealing with it was to keep work and play very much separate- I didn't attend the work christmas party, I didn't go out for birthday

Over this past week, there's been a lot of comments made to me about "strength" and being "strong." It always baffles me when someone says that to me. Or even more confusing is when they compliment my strength and say that there's no way they'd be able to handle something the way I did. But what is strength? Merriam Webster defines strength as:1: the quality or state of being strong : capacity

“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”― Marilyn MonroeIt's pretty crazy just how much life can get turned up-side-down within a day

So I finally decided to try the Betty Crocker gluten free yellow cake mix tonight. I've been craving cupcakes like crazy and obviously, with my wheat allergy regular cupcakes just aren't going to cut it for me. I *was* going to try making them myself from scratch, but that's too much work, too expensive and I don't want to have to figure out how to use xanthan gum just yet. lol. I wanted quick

Geez, it's been nearly 2 months since my last update. I didn't even realize it! Time seems to be speeding up lately- I swear to you, 2 weeks seems like 2 days to me lately. Well, at least until this past week when the black death has decided to invade my sinuses in an attempt to both strangle and suffocate me.

You've probably noticed I haven't been writing too frequently lately. For more than a month, I've been undergoing various blood tests and seeing various doctors trying to get a diagnosis. Over the past year, I've been noticing that I haven't been well- It's actually been for longer than that, but its only been in the past year it's started to really affect me.

If you're an avid reader, you've probably noticed *a lot* of posts are missing and there are giant gaps in my archive. I decided to clean up a bit. Some things just aren't worth saving anymore. If you're really lucky, you might be able to find my anonymous blog somewhere on the vast wilderness we call the world wide web. Good luck.

I've been playing this song on repeat in my car for a couple of weeks now. It's been probably a year or so since I really listened to country but I've been getting back into it big time lately- I didn't realize just how big a part of my life it had always been and how much I really missed it.

Many times, I sit around being bored at work, so my latest obsession is copying the interesting but easy recipes i find in many of our magazines such as clean eating, better homes & gardens, good housekeeping, shape etc. Yesterday, my manager brought in a copy of Martha Stewart's Everyday Food. On the cover was this delicious looking bowl of pasta and I needed to know what that recipe was. Just

The first time i made this, i wasn't really sure what I was going to make. I had about half the ingredients in the house and I knew I wanted to do something with salmon & salad but inspiration struck as I walked around Whole Foods and we ended up with this marvellously light, tangy and slightly spicy salad that's become a favourite in our household. 1 medium salmon filet, deboned & skinned2 tbsp

This originally started off as a Rachael Ray 30-minute meals side dish. I got bored one night, decided to make dinner, but I didn't know what I wanted. I had all the stuff to make the side dish, but nothing as an entree... so I figured I'd combine it all into a one pot deal. It's a nice, light, airy type of meal- its not too heavy and it's perfect for a summers evening. I actually prefer it the

It's a known fact that if a woman goes through a traumatic experience, she usually changes her appearance somehow. For most women, they either cut or color their hair to make them feel different. In the past, I've often been a drastic color person. black goes to red, red goes to brown, brown goes to black.... well, in October, to mark the 1 year non-anniversary of the wedding, my hair went Blonde

I've been wanting to write about this for the past week but I just couldn't find the words to say- I think I've been in something of a state of shock about it all. Just over a week ago, I logged into my facebook to see my sisters status staring at me.

there are lots of people I'd like to see again... but the ones I miss the most and would do nearly anything to spend time with are the ones that are no longer with us. In the space of a few short years, I lost my best friend, my grandfather and my uncle to various health issues. I never really got a chance to say goodbye to any of them...

People are always surprised by my accent. Those that know my background and know me online always expect me to have a british accent when they talk to me. Those that I meet in real life are always surprised when I say that I grew up in Britain because of my lack of an accent. I say certain words certain ways.

Fashion and I have a very love-hate relationship. I love it. It hates me. I've spent several days over the past month or so looking for cute black and white outfits to wear for work. Both my jobs require a black and white, or all black uniform. You'd think that would be easy enough right? Well... when Navy Blue is the new black, and Grey or Cream is the new white, it's nearly impossible. And we

I called my mum last night to ask her opinion on something and as soon as she picked up the phone I knew there was something wrong. She was crying that hyperventilating, sobbing, cry- the one that I only hear when someone close to us has been hospitalized or died. I braced myself for her to say that something had happened to my grandmother as I asked her what had happened and why she was upset.

Everyone wants to know what the best products are, how to apply it, how to get that look, what this does, what that does etc. But the most controversial topic is always about how often you wear it.I've been ridiculed more times than I can count for my makeup use.

Its been a while since I've done any wedding related posts, and in all honesty I really haven't been inclined to even take an interest in weddings lately. However, this one is special. This past weekend, February 20th, 2010 my friend Dottie married her handsome soldier, Jon in a beautiful ceremony at Peace Presbyterian Church in Durham with a swanky reception at the stately 1705 Prime in Raleigh.

It's been a ritual in my family for as long as I can remember that every Sunday morning, my Dad gets up and either watches, or tapes/DVR's the Sunday Morning show.

It always really depresses me when I go shopping and I see that stores are asking extortionate prices for things that could easily be done with a little bit of time and creativity for half the cost. Charlotte Russe and Forever 21 are notorious for this. I can go in there and walk out with a hundred new ideas of how to jazz up the clothes I already own to make them into something similar to them.

It's not something I could really live with personally, but I do love the way the colors pop against the monochrome of the grey. It gives it a really fresh, modern feel. source

Everyone has that one place that they can go to where they can just clear their head, relax and sort out whatever's bothering them. Alternatively, it can also be a place that they enjoy going to just for the sake of it. I've heavily relied on these kinds of places when life gets me down over the past few years. I find that I tend to be drawn more towards somewhere peaceful, serene and surrounded

When I say I need a reality tv show, I'm really not joking. The shit that goes on in my life, really couldn't ever be scripted- it's just way too far out in left field for anyone to have thought of it. And the fact that this happens nearly daily too... It's like watching the Osbournes, but better. Every day for 3 years, it's been one thing after another. Hell, even if you had started it in April

Anyway, I rarely ever post chain letters that I get emailed to me, but I thought these were pretty cool.

In drastic times, sometimes drastic measures have to be taken...... call me crazy, idiotic or insane and I know full well that the effects and consequences of my subsequent actions may have a residual and possibly even extremely negative outcome but it's something that needs to be done. Sometimes, the immediate satisfaction and instant gratification, outweighs the risk and immediate danger but

omg. I'm absolutely LOVING this living room design. Normally, I don't go for greys, or even pinks, but there's something that really draws me about the contrast, and the fact that it's not as entirely neutral as using fawns or taupes, but it isn't as extreme as using black and white. It looks modern and clean, but romantic. I'll definitely be using this as inspiration for my living room when I

A few years ago I worked at a local YMCA camp during the summer. Once camp was over, I was the only one of the staff that was kept on by the supervisor to help run the barn during the rest of the year. This included the evening feeding during the weekends. Occasionally I would take my boyfriend at the time with me to help, other times I'd go alone- it depended on my mood. I tried to be as

Have you ever heard a song, and immediately had it stuck in your head for the next few days on repeat not because it was catchy, or because you necessarily liked it, but because the lyrics struck such a chord with you that you can't help but feel like it's trying to tell you something?That's how I feel currently. I've been playing Say Anything's "Walk Through Hell" on repeat since I heard it. If

You know those songs that the moment you hear even the intro of them, they sweep you back to being a child? That's all I've been craving the past 2 days. I've been feeling pretty nostalgic lately. I remember back when I was a young child (as in the ages of 3 - 8 years old) my Mum used to listen to Cliff Richard, Air Supply, Dr. Hook, etc. I really remember Cliff and Dr. Hook the most. I think

Last week I was addicted to Ke$ha's "Tik-Tok"... Now I'm addicted to a completely different song. Orianthi's "According to You." It's so perfect for me. lol. It sounds like something I'd totally say to my ex. The first time I heard it, I thought perhaps it was a new Kelly Clarkson song, but then I realized the voice is too high pitched and doesn't have as much bravado as Kelly. Not to mention,

Since it's 3am on Christmas day, I'm bored and I have nothing better to do, I've been combing the interwebz for little bits and pieces I'm intent on getting whenever I do finally get my new apt. The style of the apartment that I shared with my ex didn't reflect even an ounce of me in it. I mean, it was comfortable- but none of it was really my style. I wasn't really "allowed" to have my stuff out

I don't know what I would ever do without them. They've provided me with so much support and strength in these past few months- that alone is the best christmas present anyone could ever give me. Thank you.

While I was browsing around thinkgeek.com for a last minute (late) christmas present for someone, I came across this totally awesome knife holder. It's amazing. I need one when I get my apt- and I'm going to name it after my ex-husband. It comes in red, chrome and black. I'll take the black one please. It's such a "me" thing- I hate going for the traditional stuff. I like stuff that makes people

I posted this last year- and as much as I don't like Christmas, I do believe that it's a perfect time to be grateful for those who protect our freedoms and rights so that we can celebrate things such as holidays and freedoms. I'd thank my friends & family who have served or are currently serving to protect us. My heart is with every one of our soldiers. ~~~~~~~~~~I think this is an incredible

Over the past few days I've been seriously thinking about how much I've changed over the past few years. I don't like what [the ex] made me become. I never felt like ME. I always felt like it was all some charade to keep everyone else happy. After much thought, I've decided I'm going to find a new me... a combination of the old me, and the me that I've become. It'll take some work, and I know

Anyone who knows me personally knows I'm not a particularly festive person- In fact, I don't see the point in most holidays. Especially the ones that revolve around food such as Thanksgiving & Christmas. They all just seem like a waste to me these days. Even as a child, the only thing I was ever fond of about Thanksgiving was the fact that we got a long weekend out of it- I could really have

The one room in our apartment that hasn't really been paid much attention to, is our bedroom. It's always been one of those "yeah, we'll get to it eventually" rooms. Our priorities have been getting the living room, dining room, kitchen & guest bathroom sorted out, since those are the areas that people see when they come over. However, it's extremely important to have a comfortable, clean, well

I especially love going through all the old photos at my mums and laughing at the terrible bouffant '60s hair, or the flared jeans my uncle wore in the '70s, or the dreadful perm my mother had in the 80's that I was obsessed with and cried over when she cut it all off.

I've been looking for a way to decorate our bedroom without breaking the budget, and since the apartment complex won't let us paint an accent wall bright red, or highlight the wall behind the bed with a crazy, over the top wallpaper, I've been really at a loss about how to draw any attention to

I will admit, that I too have joined the twilight-obsessed masses. I really enjoyed Twilight when it came out in theatres, and in a desperate attempt to get me to read more, Chris bought me both the Twilight & New Moon books. It took me MONTHS before I actually got into the first book, but once I finally got caught into it I couldn't put it down and immediately started New Moon the same night I

I'm tired of writing vendor reviews, even though there are still a few more to go. Instead, I thought you might enjoy one of my favourite tasty treats- pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I make them every year around this time and everyone loves them. It's definitely the type of recipe that you have to play with a bit to get them exactly to your liking- for example, I add a little more cinnamon than

After being referred there by a friend who had great success with them, we decided to order our bridesmaids dresses from them. A week prior to taking the girls there, I called to ask if an appointment was necessary for bridesmaids, I was told there wasn't any need for one and someone would be happy to help us when we got there. When we arrived we were immediately snapped at about how we didn't

Based upon the referrals of several friends who got married over the past few years, we decided to go with this company for our wedding cake. We'd tried a few other bakers, but no one was really up to the standard I was looking for- after all, I needed a cake that would really blow our crowd away & be the centerpiece of our reception. My mother & I set up an appointment & went to meet with them

( Organic Exposure )We knew before we even began planning that food & drink would be one of, if not the largest expense in our wedding. We went through several different choices before we decided upon having an appetizer buffet at the reception. I called around to get average quotes and KSI had some of the best prices we heard. Kevin, the owner was so enthusiastic and friendly on the phone and

( Organic Exposure )After looking at nearly every venue in Wake County, we opted to go with Lake Johnson. It was well priced (just over $1k for 10 hours rental), a blank canvas as far as decorating it to our tastes went, a natural but pretty area, a perfect sized meeting room and an easily found location. They were easy enough to work with as far as booking the venue and reserving the date,

Ryan was absolutely incredible! When we needed him for an extra hour to do the ceremony music because our musicians pulled out at the last minute he had absolutely no problem with accommodating our situation, and played the music for us perfectly- which was fairly complicated (we had several songs played throughout the ceremony) and required him downloading specific songs that weren't in his

Since we've come back from the honeymoon I find myself desperate to finish getting our place sorted out with decor, curtains, linens etc. that we need to make this place feel cozy. Not that it doesn't already, but I'm a lot more active about it than I have been in recent months.The past few days have been particularly bad- I've been going crazy with cleaning, hanging pictures and photos

I need to buy a locket to wrap around my bouquet that will have my grandfather & my uncle's photos in it in memory of them- they were the only two men I ever pictured myself walking down the aisle with and being given away by. When my grandfather passed in 2003, the next logical choice was my uncle. He passed in 2007, and one of the last things I got a chance to say to him was asking if he'd walk

Things are FINALLY starting to fall into place with only 47 days left to go! This past week we met with 2 ministers (since our original one left us high and dry on the situation) and decided to go with the second one we met with. They were both very lovely, but the first one was a bit too serene & laid back in his personality, and to new age and liberal for us. The second minister was a southern

Since seeing Megan's post about these super awesome Dip Dyed Fringe Necklaces I've had a very slight passion for fringes. I've been planning on making my own necklace for a while but every time I'm in Joann's Fabrics, I always forget to look at the decorative trims. After finding the Eden Dress on Bonadrag.com, I have decided that in the next couple of days I am definitely stopping at the fabric

My obsessions change about as regularly as the seasons. These are the latest ones...1.Grey Feather Necklace by Miss KK found at Bonadrag.com I am absolutely intent that I WILL figure out how to make my own version of this. It's too gorgeous not to have one and I don't have $88 just sitting around.2.Hummingbird Skull Necklace by Erica Weiner also found at Bonadrag.com Morbid? yes. And that's why I

I've been terrible about getting photos of my DIY's as I do them. I always forget. Anyway, with the wedding being so close, I finally got around to finishing off a few that I started, and getting photos of a few I'd already done. 1.The flower girl's basket. The basket itself was a plain ivory one by Lilian Rose that I picked up in Party City for about $5 and decorated with navy blue ribbon many

I had originally bought a silver pair from Davids Bridal for my engagement party that I intended to wear for the wedding, but they're so agonizingly painful that even trying to break them in by wearing them around the house makes me nearly scream. I've only worn them out once and I was pretty much crippled after an hour or two- I didn't even wear them for more than an hour at our party. They're

FH keeps looking at me like I'm insane but one of my dear friends, Theron, just posted on his facebook account that he proposed tonight and his girlfriend said yes!! I'll admit, I'm actually more giddy about their engagement than I was of my own. haha. I'm SO happy for him, and so glad he's found

I'm currently reading through heatworld.com (yes,I'm a tabloids junkie) and at the moment' there's a series on in England called Four weddings where 4 brides attend each others weddings & rate them in order to win a honeymoon. I haven't actually seen the show yet (I'm hoping they'll air it on BBC America or Sundance channel when it becomes syndicated) but it looks like a riot! So, how would you

Tim Burton has released a teaser-trailer of the new Alice in Wonderland movie set for release March 5th, 2010. The trailer was unveiled at comic-con this morning. I'm SO excited about it! Alice in Wonderland was never one of my favourite stories, but I love almost all of Tim Burton's work so I'm sure this will be just as fantastic. Especially seeing as the original story was supposed to be dark

And Chris gets off in an hour. I still haven't showered today. lol.

I know this video's been making the rounds on forums and blogs lately, but I've only just seen it and OMG. I cracked up laughing for a good half hour after watching it. I would *so* love to do this, but I know there's not a chance in hell anyone in my bridal party, or FH would even consider it! lmao.

When my Mum came to visit a couple of weeks ago, she brought along some other goodies as well as my Luckenbooth brooch. One of these was my keepsake garter. It took me ages to decide what kind of garter I wanted- originally, I thought it'd be f'ing sweet to get a black one with skulls on it because it would be my little punk rawk rebellion that I haven't incorporated into the wedding. Then, I

I don't think I ever blogged about the lovely luckenbooth my mother & grandmother got me! It's absolutely gorgeous. I stumbled across the tradition way back when I first started researching wedding traditions, and particularly British traditions. I had come across the gold & pearl version of it when I was googling images of them and looking for examples of the variations in design but I forgot to

After taking a few weeks off in my search for the perfect reception dress, I decided to have a quick glance through a few department store websites and stumbled across these lovelies on Dillards.com I'm going to try and stop by the store at the local mall to see if they have them in the store before I decide to get them online- I'd like to try them on, and I don't really want to pay for shipping.

"You're broken. That's all there is to it. It's not a bad thing, but you ARE broken."gee thanks- thats just SUCH an ego boost.

Spurring off from Manolo for the Brides post earlier about the forced kiss I've decided that I'm really, REALLY not interested in it. I had never even heard of it until I started reading american wedding forums and blogs- its just not something that we do in England. Quite frankly, I think it's silly, ridiculous and would piss me off to no end. If I want to kiss my husband then I'll kiss him- no

Once upon a time, my world revolved around music. If the music stopped, the world came crashing down around me. Music was my shelter from the real world. It was something that could completely envelope me and shield me from the bad things in life. It was a way of expressing the randomness going through my mind at a time when I couldn't find the words to say. Life meant nothing without the music.
