Especially when the guests include Mrs. Snow Pea, Mrs. Butterscotch, Miss Cherry Pie and myself. We’re all getting together this Sunday, in Bellevue at The Cheesecake Factory–10am sharp! If you are in the area and can drag yourself out of bed, we’d love to see you! I’m already planning which flavor cheesecake I’m going to shove into my mouth. That’s normal right? To plan what you are going to eat at a meal that is over 3 days away? Totally normal.
Yeah. Uh-huh. A robot room. It IS as creepy as it sounds. But, that’s Mr. Strawberry for you. He’s a math and science person and I wouldn’t be able to tell you what 1/4 of 64 is if my life depended on it. I’m the creative person in the relationship. Ever since the wedding, I’ve been obsessed with decorating and now Mr. Strawberry is trying to get in on the action. His contribution to the design equation is a robot room. That’s the theme he wants for the office. Seriously. Let me show you a few of the prints he’d like to frame and hang:
I’m very proud of myself, this is my second post in months! I’ve been busy with work….that’s my excuse. Anyway, back to the post at hand. For about two months, before I got my current gig at the radio, I worked as an event planner for a catering company and event venue–Foodz Catering and Acalia Events. They did the most amazing things with food. Besides tasting incredible, their presentation was out of this world. Don’t take take my word for it–check these out.
That’s the kind of bra you need when you are well endowed young lady. Certainly, there are perks to being heavy chested. Guys kind of like ’em. You can fill out a top well. And when I’m laying on the couch, they make a great little resting spot for a beverage of my choice. Of course, there are the drawbacks as well. Those were never so apparent as when I was searching for a wedding dress. When I was getting my dress altered, Vladamir (insert heavy Russian accent) said, “Oh dear, this not church cleavage.” The style of dress I could wear was also limited–backless was a pipe dream.
But hello!? The geniuses at N.A.S.A came up with this baby. (And when I say N.A.S.A, I mean Elaine Cato who entered a reality show called American Inventor similar to American Idol, and came in second place.)

“Make an elegant invitation statement without the fuss. Stylish invitation sets with matching envelopes, reception and response cards included.”
I have missed you oh so much. Words can not describe. The way you smile. The way you make me laugh. The way you light up a room. It has been too long.
Seriously! Sorry for being MIA. I’ve been wrapped up in my new job, which I am going to be a total attention whore and tell you all about it. I got my dream job, doing afternoon drive radio 2-7pm on Movin 92.5. Check it out! I have like 5 listeners, so score!!!
So, I haven’t felt like I had anything to bring to the table, until I remembered my honeymoon pics!
Okay, not really. But holiday entertaining is already on my mind thanks to the latest issue of Blueprint magazine. I love this setup and it could totally be done for a wedding as well! I love Christmas themes that aren’t done in your typical red and green.
Create the honeymoon of your dreams.
The programs were my biggest pain in my ass. There was the paper folding. There was the paper punch on the front cover. There was the issue of getting the yarn through the itty bitty little holes. Then there was getting all the info onto less than 10 pages. Who wants to read a 10 page wedding program!?
Our econfetti poppers were a huge success–the months of saving toilet paper rolls totally paid off. You think I’m kidding. Sadly, I am not. I saved hundreds of toilet paper rolls. As did my bridesmaids and my parents. And then there was the HUGE task of decorating each.
Hotel Monaco was all sorts of awesome. I had a hard time trying to figure out what hotel we wanted to stay in, but in the end–money won out. A sororority sister of mine worked at the hotel and we ended up getting the biggest suite they had for $50!
Setting the right mood was very important to me. I wanted an evening wedding with lots of candlelight. “But guests are going to be so hot in the church with that many candles!” I think they can handle a half hour of hot flashes for the sake of ambiance! 
When it came to wedding details, I didn’t just stop at wedding decor. I made sure that the bridesmaids, flower girls, and myself all had a little sumthin’, sumthin’.
Necklaces from ebay.
The one comment that I got most about our wedding was about how much “stuff” we had. I’m glad they noticed–cause that “stuff” took a whole lotta time to coordinate! From chandeliers in the trees to the candy buffet–I agonized over every little detail. But, I’m glad I did!
At 9pm, A Bride’s Revenge: A Lifetime Original Movie. Starring Lisa Marie Presley as Susan, the bride who married her childhood nemesis only so she could stab him in his sleep and inherit his millions. Followed by Strong Medicine at 10pm.
When I told everyone I wanted baby’s breath everywhere, they looked at me with disdain. It’s cheap. It’s a filler flower. Yes, I know, and I want it! I wanted to invoke a certain feel to the day and I was convinced baby’s breath would help me do it!
Everyone kept telling me that I wouldn’t have time to eat. Screw that. I MADE time. Turkey stuffed figs, wrapped in bacon? Mini cubano sandwiches? Mashed potato martini bar? Carving station? Yeah, I don’t pass those kinds of things up.
