Its been so long since I posted something that I almost forgot my password. You all know Im sorry. I just had to say that the next time I do a post I will no longer be officially LEMonade. Whoo whoo!
Spread the Love
Today I received three honeymoon swimsuits, a tote bag and 13 beauty samples from Victoria’s Secret. Love them all. Believe it or not, but I got all these treasures for a mere $100. Thank You retailmenot, you’re officially my new favorite site and if you’re not already using it you must start…..immediately!
Seven Sunny Things on One Rainy Day
7 things I’m excited about on this rainy Monday afternoon.
1. My birthday is in two Wednesdays and I got a super sweet dinner invite today from B for one of my favorite restaurants that we only go to on special occasions. So excited.
2. My pals from Phoenix are coming to visit next weekend for a girls weekend in the city – cant wait!
3. I got a new pencil cup and notepad holder at Office Max today. Truly made my day. Its Springy and fun and looks ultra prof-chic.
4. I accomplished quite a few things on my wedding checklist this weekend and Im very proud of myself for it.
5. We got our plane tickets today to go see Brian’s Mom in the OC next month.
6. For once, I didn’t eat the choco chip cookies today that my coworkers insist on baking everyday at 3:00 PM. Now that deserves a pat on the back.
7. Brian has finally surrendered the registry list to me (thanks to some convincing from his Best Man). I can now register for my cake stand. Whoo hoo!
Wedding Registry. Check.
Our rainy Valentine’s Day weekend was full of wedding to do’s that Brian and I have been somewhat putting off until we realized we are only 4 months from our wedding date! Holy cow where did the time go! We did celebrate heart day with a fancy dinner of crab legs, champagne and chocolate truffles at home. 5 star quality. Delicious. No crowds, no crazy prices – just perfect.
On Sunday and Monday we spent most of time starting and finishing our registry. Yup, its almost done. Let me tell you its super fun walking around with that little gun drinking mimosas, but very overwhelming at the same time. We were armed with check lists and must have lists and idea lists, but I still couldnt convince Bri how badly we needed a covered cake plate. There are still a few items we need to add and delete but overall I think we’re pretty set…I think.
Marathon of Life
So I realize this is the first time I’ve written a post in forever and I’ve heard your complaints, and I’m sorry. Life has been more than hectic. I had a dream the other night that two of my coworkers and I were watching a never ending marathon that we couldnt get out of. Very symbolic. I’m now longing for my old life of leisure when I would often make ridiculous statements along the lines of, “I’m bored!” Umm, I can no longer relate. Between trying to learn to ski, working a ton, full on wedding planning, attempting to maintain my new lifestyle of morning workouts, pie baking, fiesta planning and booking a honeymoon that I’m counting down the minutes to. I’ve barely had enough time to breathe. I just wanted you to know that I am alive….barely.
Pretty In Pink
Aren’t they fabulous? I spotted them while Christmas shopping yesterday. I know I’m not supposed to shop for myself, but these beauties caught my eye as I sped passed the store window and I just HAD to try them on. The moment I saw them, I knew they were perfect for the wedding. I’ve been on the hunt for some bright pink shoes to wear under my wedding dress and these were perfect…perfect height, perfect fit, perfect style. Best of all, they shipped them home for me so I’ll have them in time for my first dress fitting next Monday and I dont have to carry them on the plane. Thank you super cute salesgirl Katie (ironic she works at Kate Spade) – you have made me happier then you’ll ever know. Sigh.
Thanksgiving Smorgasbord
We had our Thanksgiving potluck at work today and it was a smorgasbord of deliciousness. I ate myself into a food coma by 3:00 in the afternoon. I’m already excited for turkey sandwich leftovers tomorrow. My contribution was the above chocolate cupcakes with festive Fall acorns. I made the acorns from caramel pieces and dipped them in chocolate and sprinkles. Although I never tried them, the coworkers said they were tasty.

Watch out George Jetson
She’s my new best friend and Finley’s new arch nemesis. We’ve named her Rosey and we’re amazed with her skills so far. Watching her work is a bit mesmerizing. Rosey sweeps her way through the house in an hour and returns to the exact place she started…amazing. I was hoping Finley would befriend her, but instead she’s terrified. I found her this morning outside hiding underneath the patio set. Poor girl. Well, Rosey isnt going anywhere, I’m in love.
I’m Officially a California Girl
I experienced my first earthquake today…the locals called it a shrug, I call it an earthquake. The best word I can use to describe it is unsettling. It really was the strangest feeling…left me a bit queasy actually. Having the whole building shake for the slightest second. Slight enough for me to question if it had even happened. Weird. It ranked a 3.1 on the scales which from what I can gather is pretty minor. I was definitely happy to come home to our flat screen still attached to the wall.
