New Years Resolutions...and other things.

2012 was an epic year for me as far as big life changes...however it wasn't too epic for blogging.

For this upcoming New Year instead of resolving to go to the gym more often, or to be nicer to everyone (both super good resolution) I am going to commit to blog once a week. A once a week entry, if for no other reason than to keep a solid record of the first year of our marriage...the good, the bad and the ugly.

So what all did I NOT blog about this year, let's recap:

Wedding!

 Fischer Hall, Fischer Texas November 17th, 2012.

Honey moon in New York ! 

Buying a house, renovating and living in it...

Christmas in our new house: 

Wedding planning: Phase 1

This past Saturday my fiancé and I (insert clip of Seinfeld fiancé episode here) went to check out a potential wedding venue, a sweet little garden in Weatherford, Texas. It was fabulously gorgeous, and they sure KNEW it. At some point on the tour I stopped listening to all the great information we were being given and I started thinking why isn’t EVERYONE in the wedding business?!….These people charge upwards of 6 thousand dollars for what…to use a garden that is open to the public?


Wait, what….so why not just charge all the guest admission and call it a day? Oh because it’s a wedding, which basically means shamelessly upping the price because wedding crazed bride-to-be’s are so stressed and high off of love and party planning that they will just open their checkbook right then and there. Where has all the sense gone SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS TO GET MARRIED OUTSIDE?! If I had a dollar for every time Jerrett (the other key player in this party) or I have said…why aren’t we eloping…we might have enough to rent a piece of earth to get married on. Now, this is not to say that we don’t have enough money for a wedding, thankfully we do but it is still the principle of the matter.

I am going to start telling people I need to rent it for a company party or a bar mitzvah or something.

The flip side to that coin is…of course,  if we elope …what will I do with my Pinterest account?

Phase 1: Venue- still searching.

Wedding what knot...

My wonderful fella' surprised the hell out of me and popped the question this past weekend. He's precious, it was precious and I am still in a bit of a fog about the whole deal...but fabulously excited, obviously!
However it seems that planning an actual wedding is not quite as simple as pinning something to precious pinterest.
Venue, menu who and when....what? No wonder why there wasn't a board for all of this mess! Who on earth would want to do that part? Give me eternal wedded bliss, a fabulous ceremony under 5,000 bucks and make it look like an anthro magazine...this should be easy right? waaaayyyy wrong.

So ladies, I need ideas, and connections and great inside information from all of my friends who actually are really great at this stuff (you know who you are). I decided I should try and document this whole shin dig along the way so for the next 4-8 months beware this may actually resemble a wedding blog..


Good ideas, and go....................

Blog land, where for art thou

After months and months of nothing aside from static I decided I would make a point to get back in the game, so to speak and start blogging again!

In the time I have been “away” from the practice of chit chatting to….no one a lot of major life things have happened….I now have a full time job, that is super grown up and very very full time! I enjoy it immensely and have hysterical things happen daily, however as I am now finally adjusting to that new life change I decided that it would be important to “get back” to some things that I enjoyed pre-real world….i.e. Blogging

I am a behavior specialist for an elementary school while I will leave the sensitive details out, to cover my ass and keep my job I think I will use these experiences to share with you all-

Today a kid was sitting in my room crying over the loss of his cheetos, blubbering uncontrollably like someone had died, rather than the actually sad fact that you can’t have chips during class….(which is sad because Cheetos are freaking delish!) He said a series of quotes that Emerson could have written:

“I hate school”

“I hate stupid teachers”

“I hate this dumb ol’ school”

“Teachers are always mean to kids”

“THIS IS A TERRIBLE PLACE TO LEARN!!!!”

…………………………Ode de Cheeto?
