I Once Had an Office…

I think it might be time to try rescuing my office.

I have been putting this off because in the process of tearing up our house and renovating and moving upstairs and moving back downstairs, my office became the Place Where Everything Goes That Has No Other Place, and so now, instead of being shiny and clean and empty and new and cozy and welcoming, it looks like this:

Oh my goodness. I can’t possibly write a blog today — I have to write a toast! And not just any maid of honor toast…I have to write one for my favorite person in the world, my sister Kari, who is getting married THIS WEEKEND. ACK!

Here’s what I’ve figured out so far:

What Not To Include:

(1) References to Kari’s ex-boyfriends, second grade crushes, stalkers, summer flings, or Jake Gyllenhaal.

website woes :(

Bah humbug!

Sorry, guys, my website is having some woeful server issues, as you may have noticed, what with the vanishing and the blog-eating and the lack of a new entry, which is actually not me procrastinating, I swear! And it’s so tragic, because I have photos to post that, for once, aren’t of Sunshine! Hrrrmph.

Hopefully it’ll be fixed soon…check back later, and fingers crossed!

Bridesmaid Plots Aplenty

So there’s another reason I’m so excited about May, which I couldn’t mention last week, because…it is (well, was) the surprise bridal shower Mom and I have been planning for my sister for the last month, which finally happened this past Saturday. And on the assumption that Kari reads this blog (ahem…right?), I didn’t want to give it away, but now that it’s over and she knows all about it: Yay bridal shower!
