Giving Thanks

It’s hard to keep up with all the awesomeness that’s been going on in my life these past few days. But so far, this has been a wonderful trip. I’m sad it will be ending tomorrow, but I’ll be back next month for Christmas. YAY. Lady Shutterbug and I just got back from our faux [...]

photo snob

So, Lady Shutterbug and I have been plotting my faux bridal photo shoot for the past two weeks or so (If you recall, she is building her portfolio and I just like the attention that comes with putting on a poofy white dress and having a camera aimed at me). She had one vision of [...]

It’s the most.

In less than 48 hours I will be making my way down to the suburbs of DC for Thanksgiving weekend. To say that I am excited would be a serious understatement. On Wednesday, I will make the most ridiculous drive of my life from NYC to DC on the worst day to drive anywhere. On [...]

BEST. EVER.

Okay, this is by far THE MOST amazing wedding toast I have ever seen. I cried and I don’t even know these people. A love of musical theater doesn’t hurt either.  You have to watch it all the way through. Of course there are a bunch of inside jokes that none of us can understand [...]

Variations on a Theme

Lady Shutterbug: Sorry Mac.Me: I hate you PC.Lady Shutterbug: Liar. This was the joking conversation that I had last night when I discovered that I am the only one on this Coast who does not yet have g-mail themes. Lady Shutterbug was kind enough to e-mail me a screenshot of what they look like, so [...]

Hype

The great thing about this contest is now I’m really excited to see who will win. I keep thinking maybe midnight tomorrow was too much time to wait.
