I Went MIA

Most of you know about Bleu by now. We are still trying to figure out how to cope and do things without him. Its not easy, but we are trying and making some progress. Part of that progress is getting a new puppy. We decided that Bleu would want us to give a good home to another deserving dog and wouldn't want Lola to be lonely. And one just happened to seem like a good fit at about the right time. He is half lab, half blue heeler. We get him this weekend. I am sure Matt and I will both post pictures once we bring him home. I am pretty nervous to have a puppy around the house. The last time I had a puppy, I was in elementary school. And I am nervous how Matt and Lola are going to react to him. Lets be honest, those 2 are pretty finicky about who they like and who they don't like. I will keep you posted.

So lets talk TV...
Biggest Loser - biggest bore finale. No one likes Helen, so who cares. Tara should have won. And who would have thought the biggest at home loser would be Jerry!?

How I Met Your Mother - If that indeed was the series finale, I would like a spin off of Robin and Barney, or Lilly and whats his face... Same cast, writers, just new story. I need more Neil Patrick Harris in my life. And the writers = genius!

Desperate Housewives - I wish Susan and Mike would get back together and it is Susan's wedding, but somehow I doubt that. Surely she wouldn't have a big church wedding to her ex-husband. Who knows...

Gray's Anatomy - I don't want Izzie OR George to die! I want them both back. I don't want to see Alex dealing with losing his wife and going crazy again. Because let's be honest, that isn't going to be pretty. George is the only sane, and often boring, person on staff, so he can't go. And I don't even want to think about what is going to happen with Meredith and Derricks post-it note wedding!

Brothers and Sisters: Yawn... I am still going to watch next season, but yawn...

What else I have been up to in the last month that I am sure you are ALL dying to know.

I am officially a wedding coordinator, and love it. I really want to do more of it, so if you know anyone who needs some help, send them my way please :) And I still need a name for my business. Ideas?

Matt and I filled in the infamous mud pit out back with rocks and it looks 5000 times better already and we are not even done.

I need to paint/seal my deck and build a new fence. Anyone want to help???

Kelly's wedding is basically planned. WTF? She might be the most on the ball bride I have ever seen. I am in charge of brides maids dresses now, and that is no easy task.

The bulbs I planted last year are blooming! And my hostas came back! I must have a green thumb or something. However, my new orchid is not doing so hot. Any suggestions?

I went to Houston about a month ago for Ad Federation with Paige. Paige had a contact at Live Nation and they got us tickets to see Etta James at the House of Blues, and the Foundation Room (which I had never heard of, but apparently its a pretty big deal). She was awesome. We also enjoyed an amazing hole in the wall bar - and you all know how much I all enjoy a good hole in the wall bar. We THEN went to some authentic Mexican restaurant where they serve beer after hours in red iced tea glasses. I am not sure why, but after hours beer tastes SO much better!

I think that is about it. Did I miss anything? Sorry I haven't been around much, didn't much feel like talking until recently. But I am back for good, have no fear.

My Calling is Calling...

I have always liked party planning - why, I don't know, but I have. I have helped several friends plan their weddings and last weekend got to run my first HIRED reception. It made me realize how much I actually like doing it. So, now I have the bug and can't wait to start working on the next wedding. I also need to come up with a name for my business. Any suggestions are welcome. Here are some pics of Kathy and Clay's wedding. If you know anyone who is getting married soon, I HIGHLY recommend Melissa Claborn. She is amazing!

I will post later to get everyone caught up in the goings on of my life :) Check back soon. I promise to be better!
