Thoughts Rollin Around

This is the adorable Ginger!
She is one of two dogs I am currently house sitting for. She has been a doll this entire week. She comes when I call, follows me like a good little shadow puppy does. She naps, plays and is a happy girl!
Until last night. Or should I say until 1am this morning, when Ginger apparently decided.. she hates me!
She barked non stop for four hours. I took her outside in the first five min of said barking thinking she simply needed to take care of business.
Nope!
Then I thought I'd put her in the "play pin" she stays in when I am at work.. maybe she just wanted to be out and play?
Nope!
Bark bark bark. Yip yip yip.
Then I thought.. perhaps she just wants to be near me?
silly silly mighty burns.. this was far from the truth. When she wasn't clawing at me, biting my fingers and toes, she was...
yup.
Barking...non.stop.
Oh don't get me wrong she also managed to chew on some of my clothes and shoes too!


This is why I now HATE Ginger.
Ok I don't hate her.. she has too cute a {slightly resembling an old mans face} face for a puppy. But I am very very disappointed in her. I also realized I could never have a child without help from someone.



I watched the end of Season Six of Grey's Anatomy the other night.
 And then I couldn't sleep. Because what kind of sick f'ed up stuff is that episode(s) all about! My goodness gracious! Give me a heart attack why don't you?! I mean I was sobbing crying. I turned lights on.
 I paced around with anxiety...to say I am involved in my shows is quite the understatement! I felt sick...and sad...and nervous..jittery...and felt like I wanted to call everyone that I love!

Thank goodness that part is over ;) now I am onto hunting down episodes of Season Seven!!
**~**

The other day when I described the burnt orange button up and lace mini skirt.. dude.. this is pretty much it!
I found it here who got it from here

So I have been thinking...who not wear dresses all of the time?
I think yes!



How pretty are these dresses paired with the colors leggings? Ummm LOVE it!


Also why can't I wear wedding dresses more casually? Is it really terribly vain to tell you that I HAVE tried them on.. and I am in fact NOT getting married..and I thought "Damn I look good in white?!"
Cuz I did.... and I do :/
It's a shame..thats all I'm sayin.



Like how cute would this be to wear to dinner with the girls? Or a Tea Party?
It's the dream!

However, this...


...is probably closer to what the reality of that dream would be. A bunch of chicks dressed up in their Wedding bliss best drinking beers and eating popcorn..
Who needs tea anyways?
(I like that Monica is wearing black socks with her dress bahaha!)

As always I have been swept away with picture of flowers...








Isn't this the perfect combination of oranges blues and whites? If you haven't already you should head over to An Apple A Days blog because it is always BEAUTIFUL!
Also she has a new site! yahoo!



Dreamy









Ok So when I get married {fingers crossed and all that} I would LOVE for Amy to do the flowers for the event. I love these colors so much! I love that everything is classic, romantic, and wild all at the same time, yet totally unified and cohesive in the arrangements. ugh. Perfection! I drool over this woman's work. She is a master at what she does {florist crush much}

Ok I am done gushing for today... p.s. do you have any idea how long it has been since I have received flowers? Too long dang it! Whats up with that ;)

a Post of Lovely


The past few days I haven't been feeling too hot.
Coworkers thought it would be fun to post the Top Ten Symptoms of Pregnancy on my desk when I was on a um..  eh hmmm,  third potty break this morning.

Funny as it is having seven of those ten, I don't think I am hatching any mini mes anytime soon.
If not through anything then sheer will to continue with my plans to move to NYC in October.

My sister and I have started to map out what our room will look like (a childhood past time of ours) and decided rather then trying to fit our cloths into one small NYC closet and then create a bedroom... why not make the room a giant closet.. that just so happens to also have beds to sleep in lol.

I am so excited about what we came up with! I am currently scouring the Internet for images and ideas to put together as a show and tell for my blog.



However, I have been temporarily stunned by this wedding on StyleMePretty. Photos were taken by Brittney Dawson Photography and they are just... lovely! I can't think of a better word to describe it.

her dress makes me rethink the ... um.... five few wedding ideas and themes I have.


The vail shots are my favorite! Like this one here

I am almost done finding some inspirational pictures for my new room post so stay tuned!

"You are Most Curious Girl.."

Today on Yahoo.Com my eye was caught by this awesome picture
I know right?! BEAUTIFUL!

I thought where is this beautiful beautiful place??

ANSWER: LAKE PLITVICE,  CROATA



Stunning isn't it?

When I learned it was Croatia I started thinking about the only Croatian person I have met...
My dear friends I do not know his name. I've never been a "one night stand" kinda gal, but one night I was convinced that this was something I needed to experience {???} He was gorgeous! But his room was filled with banners..creeds...family crests..flags... non of it I recognized.
"What is that?"
"What does that say?"
"Why did you hang that there?"
"Whats that for?"
"Who is in that picture with the old man?"
"Croatian....?"
"No... no I have no idea where that is.. yes public schools.. America huh.. go figure. We are all very dumb? That's nice."
Admittedly I wasn't helping the Americans win any awards that night with my geography lesson, I have yes since looked it up to find out more.. thanks a ton... guy.
He finally answered me with this one line:
"You are most curious girl I have ever met.... what to do. What to do with the pouty curious girl.."
It felt very Carrie circa Alexander P "You are comic yes?"
~
We ended up cuddling that night.. no hanky panky.. his choice not mine.
*sigh*
awwww Croatia.. how I have such fond and mixed feelings for you. but the water fall thing is REALLY helping your case!

OTHER THINGS THAT CAUGHT MY EYE ONLINE
This picture {From StyleMePretty} kinda cracks me up. Now I realize they did a "Mad Men" theme, but everyone in the shot is so relaxed and happy. Smiles all around... wait? NOT All around there is one very sultry maid in the back hanging on the limb there, and making mad eyes at the camera LOL Love it! Way to stay in character yo.
See Mad men below. I think it is a really cute idea. I LOVE all the girls hair!! this is more so what I wanted for the last wedding i was in. It was a swing and a miss, but she tried her best
Love it! Love Purple!


Let there be... glares? Everyone at this NYC wedding looks gloom man. Not one happy face in the joint!!

Pretty bulbs though yeah!



Well peeps Last night I stayed up till the wee hour of one am packing A TON into my car for this road trip I am about to embark on.

The final totally is this:
1 large over sized luggage bag
1 regular sized (by airport standards not mine lol) luggage
3 tote bags
2 purses
1 sleeping bag
2 blankets
1 pillow
1 large beach hat
1 beach chair
2 towels
and a partridge in a pear tree

It will be a snug ride into San Marcos tonight! But how in blazes do you pack light for a 14day vacation where you will on a warm beach, camping on a cold beach, and be in a wedding.. you do that and I bow down to you sister! because I packed it ALL.


While clicking my morning away on weheartit for roadtrip images, I also found this chair..
and me likie!


***

I'm not toooooo sold on #4. But it could be done. For sure #2 and without a doubt #6 and #7. We all know number one was a fail.


Also doesn't this look like fun?? Any beach campers out there loving the idea of one large hammock tree fort?? I am loving the idea! Except I would want to add little lanterns in the trees... maybe an old barrel or two to hold my "things" and some cozy sweater to wrap myself up in.. mmmmm beach camping is the BEST!


Tata Ladies have a wonderful Friday Night, and weekend. You shall get updates as soon as I land in Chico or Orland on Monday!!

wedding weekend

As promised here are some pictures from my gorgeous friend Lisas wedding!

My Rrehearsal Dinner Dress
The dinner was at this great little Italian place. Lisas family and her fiance Richards family hadn't really met before so she had everyone get together for this dinner to mingle and get to know one another. Kids ran around and became fast friends, and I became fast friends with the canolies and bartender.. mmm.

My new dinner ring!
 Isn't it so pretty!! I really like it because it looks glittery, but up close its really just a lot of grooves in metal so its kinda manly up close lol

This colorful breakfast ended up being the only thing I ate the day of the wedding at 8 am.. I do not reccomend this.. especially if you end up with champagine AND your drink of choice in both hands during most of the night

My inspiration for hair and make up

Me and my Lou a few minutes before her big entrance
I almost face planted and made her crack up laughing.. count on me to almost fall and break the tension in the room lol

Ok I know she is my friend.. but isn't she the most beautiful bride EVER!
I could not stop gazing at her the entire day.. she was so happy and beaming.

My Faith Hill Perfume

My earings

The center pieces

Ek! My "Before" shot

A horrid picture of a picture, but only shot of just us three bridesmaids

Underwood putting on her twin sisters pretty shoes for the day

So I kinda had to put the photographer in his place.
Jeff.. or Joe.. or who ever the guy is becuase he literaly said to me:
"Bridgette I am going to punch you if you don't smile!"
Said to me right before this shot where he told me I had to "smush in" the shot becuase the sun was directly IN my eyes the entire time..

The beautiful couple!


Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
