About Mrs. Pineapple

So Happy To Be(e) Here!

April 14th, 2008 @ 5:59 pm by Mrs. Pineapple

Hi yin’z, I am Miss Pineapple and I am thrilled to be a new bee!

Pineapple is perfect for me! In addition to loving to eat pineapple, the fruit and I go way back. Growing up in Florida, my family had a patch of pineapple plants in our backyard. We grew the sweetest pineapples you could imagine. Instead of being grounded, when my siblings and I got into trouble we had to weed the pineapples. Prickly little buggers they are!

I am now a Pittsburgher planning a non-religious, city wedding with my love, Mr. Pineapple. Mr. P and I met 4 years ago when I was a student at Carnegie Mellon University and he was my supervisor. Scandalous!!! Well, not really. Mr. P and I were both in relationships at the time and had no interest in dating. Was he even as cute back then? He must not have been or else surely I would have noticed.

A few years later, Mr. P and I were both single, still kept in touch, and I worked for him designing some ads. We decided to meet one night to hang out for the first non-work-related time. After I got over the shock that I was falling for my former boss, we were attached at the hip. It wasn’t long before we started wondering what we were going to do with four cats.

Speaking of which, let me introduce you to the family:
On the left is Mr. Pineapple holding an angry Onyx after a bath. Onyx is actually a monkey in disguise. Top right is Harrison, he wont eat cat treats, but he will devour bread and chips if he can find them! On the bottom right is the lovely Zazu. Until about 3 months ago she used to run and hide every time she saw Mr. P. Now, she even jumps on his lap. Yay, progress. The fourth kitty mentioned earlier is now living about an hour away from us.

No, I am not a crazy cat lady, we are just a modern-day hybrid family.

I am super excited to share with you fellow wedding lovers the biggest design project I have ever been given. Prepare yourselves for lots of design, photography and crafting (and hopefully a little bit of line dancing too)!

Welcome from one of the blog-stalkers!
One of my cat’s is a chip/carb kitty as well. The other is all about the vegetables… i kid you not. She will jump right over a piece of chicken or fish or anything else and grab a stalk of celery and take off with it!

We will have (in total) a blended family of four cats, a toy poodle, and a rabbit. Good grief. One of my cats is a rescue kitten, and she will actually try to eat anything that smells like food. Luckily the others are all about the AvoCat. The poodle is very elderly and has almost no teeth, so can only dream of the days when he ate inappropriate things.

Bring on the line dancing!! :) I don’t dance as much as I used to since our local joint stopped having country night - but I’m a die hard!! Whenever I travel I’m scoping out the country bars so I can dance!! You’ve mentioned it twice now - so I’m really excited to hear what else you have to say about it!! :) :)

Oh yeah - I’m looking forward to your designs and DIY projects too :)

So, you and I have some weird similarities that i noticed on reading Mrs. Bee’s intro of you, and they’ve gotten weirder now that you’ve posted your own intro. Im from Chicago, living in South Florida (ft lauderdale), i have four cats, one of which lives elsewhere, We were engaged August 9th last year, getting married in October. Jeez. the list goes on im sure :) Welcome to the Hive!
