Wedding day hath arrived.  Yippee.  I must admit that Miss Kate looked smashing in her wedding dress.  Absolutely fab.  After viewing the peoplemagazine.com pictures of the royal couple I was concerned I'd have feelings of remorse regarding the dress I had purchased for my wedding.  Should I have gone with sleeves?  More lace?  A tiara perhaps?  No such luck; still like it.  Granted, I'm not 5'9 like Kate Middelton nor blessed with long hair, fine jewels and a future king for a spouse, I'm still pumped to throw on my frock.

I'd also like to mention the rad hats adorned by the lady guests of the royal wedding.  I wonder if American women wore hats for special occassions such as weddings back in the day?  There is something very chic and classy about a lady in a fancy dress and a cool hat.


For the special day, I may just make a magic hat for Kasia to wear on our afternoon walk.

The Crackerjack Crew

What's it going to take to get a box full of puppies on my doorstep?  I pray to JC every night that in the morn, I will be awoken by our doorbell..... and there placed on the stoop is a box full of puppies; all shapes and sizes.  Just to make it super cute, the puppies will be comfortably tucked in with bunches of toilet paper and socks.
  The pups will then receive names such as: Marjorie, Bernice, Melvin, Walter, Agnes, Clem and Thunder.

To enhance my box o' puppies fantasy, The Red Wings have advanced to the next round of hockey playoffs.  For you first timers out there, the Blackhawks were beat in the first round by Vancouver (my least favorite team due to their hack job style defense).  Essentially, the picture is being painted as a tough series ahead-- we need to pick off San Jose fast, furiously and keep our eye on the prize.


For the record-- I'm so done with wedding bullshit.  I thought I would be pumped and so looking forward to our big day.  Not the case.  For now, wedding is on back burner.  So, don't ask me about themes or flowers or bridal accessories because I dont care.

Chicken and Waffles

I flew home from Buffalo last night and while on the plane, I had to listen to the woman behind me talk about chicken and waffles.  That's right.  90 minutes of chicken and waffles.  Butter, syrup, a side of mashed potatoes, collard greens and an icy glass of orange pop.  I think it's fair to make the following assessment:  she doesn't watch Top Chef Masters.


I have been on the road since April of 2009 I would like to share some helpful hints for all you travelers out there.

1.)  Going through security at every airport in the US, one must take their shoes off.  No exceptions.  This is directed to the dumb bitch at the Buffalo Airport complaining of having her feet touch the "actual floor of the gross, dirty airport."  Really?  Maybe her head was up her own ass when 9/11 hit.

2.)  "Carry-on" bags does not equal 80 ton duffle bag fit for a 45 day stay in Morocco.
  So when the flight attendant asks you to check your 198 lb bag, don't get pissed.

3.)  A 2 hour flight is not the ideal time to try out your newest perfume.


4.)  When in a new airport (one you're not familiar with) try to walk, loiter, meander along the sides of the walkways.  Standing and staring into space in the middle of a busy corridor will get you punched.


5.)  If you happen to be sitting next to someone with their eyes closed, hands gently placed in lap, book turned over (not being read) and the shade pulled down, chances are they are sleeping.  Since this person is more than likely sleeping, tapping them on the shoulder to ask where they're from is inappropriate.
