Alrighty, I'm finally trying to plan out this darn wedding thingy, (Derek and I have been engaged for HOW LONG? Holy cow!) There's one little problem though - the idea of getting married completely freaks me out!!! I don't know anything about planning weddings or receptions. I'm too shy and too anti-sappy stuff to get married! So, what should we do? We like the idea of having an itty bitty, barely even counts ceremony and a huge reception with everyone we know afterward, (who will probably resent us for inviting them to the reception but not the ceremony, but whatever!) Does this idea sound completely screwed up? HELP! I'm going nuts, (and I don't think I was exactly the most sane person around to begin with!)

A certain woman in my neighborhood, (who will probably read this so I won't be too specific...) IS COMPLETELY INSANE! She was complaining that there are elm tree suckers in my yard, (which I guess are baby trees...?) She was afraid that the saplings were going to spread and that we would have a neighborhood elm tree infestation to deal with, so she came over to pull them out. I couldn't help wondering what she was actually going to do, since there were no suckers in my yard. What did she do? She cut down my rosebushes and stuffed them into my dumpster right after trash day, (umm...I was kinda planning on using my dumpster throughout the week, but whatever!) *Update on 1/11/11: We moved years ago, so let's go ahead and just call this looney neighbor Paula! This was not the only time that my odd neighbor used my dumpster. Sexy Nerd took our trash to the curb a few weeks ago and ran into our new neighbors from across the street, who were also bringing their dumpster to the

After a long, crappy week (instead of booking a 10 year anniversary trip to Iceland, we decided to be paranoid and hoard all our money, thank you very much to Congress deciding Sexy Nerd doesn't need a paycheck), let's throw off our worries and party it up with another Not "Baaad" Sundays blog hop! Remember, this is not just another run-of-the-mill linky. There are things that make this blog party special: 1. This linky is open to all posts that you are proud of. Did you recently post about a great decorating project, craft, or recipe? That's wonderful if you did, but just fine if you didn't. I just want you to link to a post or posts you are proud of. 2. Do you ever find yourself trying not to duplicate posts on blog hops but aren't quite sure what you posted the previous weeks? Problem solved! The list of links from today will return in the future, making it easy to see what you posted last time (and giving you a second chance to visit any great

It's the weekend, weekend, weekend! So I'm so happy, happy, happy!! We're debating about whether or not to pack our things and move to a house up the street. It needs a lot of work. How much work, you ask? Well, the going rate for a fixer upper in the neighborhood we like is about $350,000. We think we can get this one for $200,000. That means it needs a lot of work! We love the neighborhood...but we also love our lazy weekends in our current, no-renovations-needed home. Hmmm...decisions, decisions. Have a terrific weekend, everyone!
