T-minus zero and counting?

Well, it’s time! We’re off today, heading home for the wedding. I haven’t been around much to post lately, due to the endless wedding minutiae that managed to creep up.

Placecards, meal choices, seating charts, confirming everything, packing for the honeymoon (omfg, 2 weeks of NO WORK), you name it, it’s been done. Last minute guest list changes, timelines for the weekend, directions to everything under the sun printed out, instructions for my wonderful family, who will be house-sitting while we’re off drinking daiquiris at 9am, it’s all complete.

 Now, I just have to pack. And figure out what I’m wearing tomorrow night. And set my out of office. And record all my shows (Yes. Am genius who planned to be in Hawaii during Fall Premiere Week. May or may not be twitching at the thought of missing the premieres of Heroes, Grey’s, HIMYM, Bones, House, CSI, Numbers…am total geek).

Maybe I’m not quite as done as I thought…

Anyway! Stay tuned for possible honeymoon updates (ew, NO. Mind out of gutter, please). There are ziplines, kayak trips, and luaus in our future. And definite travel chaos and hilarity is bound to ensue, typical for me.

In closing, a portrait of what my millions of readers are reader is missing this weekend (taken from my bachelorette party):

See? Fun! Hilarity! And booze. Sweet, sweet booze.

Ella, ella, ella, a, a, a, a

My latest obsession. Mandy Moore’s cover of the Rihanna song “Umbrella”. Of course, I love Mandy to begin with, but I am LOVING this cover.

 

And so it begins

I have arrived. Am here, y’all!

So I’ve decided to start a blawg. Can not believe it. I haven’t told anyone yet, we’ll see when and how I share. And with who (whom? I never know). I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while, I read enough of them on a daily basis (last count: eleventy billion and five). I want to find my…niche, if you will, before announcing this to too many people.

First up, my blog name. You’ll soon figure out that I’m a life-long Masshole. Born and raised in good old Massachusetts. Home of the Boston Red Sox, the New England Patriots, Steve Carrell, Matt Damon,  ”pop”, “bubblers”, and last, but most popular in my vernacular, “wicked”. I tend to use this word to describe any number of things, good or bad. You’ll see.

I owe a big part of this decision to start up a blog to The Wedding (yep, capitalize that bitch, it’s an event, I tell ya, whether I like it or not). It’s getting to be crunch time, and I want to be able to look back and remember this. As insane as it is, it’s been a blast (well…for the most part). So for the next 4+ weeks, be prepared. Then it’s off to Hawaii for 12 days, and then? Life = back to normal. Can. Not. Wait.

I’ll try not to bore you (if there even ARE any of you out there) too much with wedding-speak….”try”, being the key word.

 So leave me comments, show me some love. You know you want to.

 

Test

Ah, yes, the inevitable “test” post.
