Sometimes, it’s the moments you don’t plan, that turn out to be the best plans. On the eve of our wedding, Eric and I didn’t go to a hotel as planned. Our intention was to head to this vintage hotel in his home town with a great honeymoon suite we knew would be available, reservation or not. We were also a bit concerned about where our dog Lola would camp that evening so we decided to wait it out and head to the hotel whenever we were ready to sleep. Our plans would not work out as such. The evening BBQ had wound down while a few friends hung around to sit by the fire my brother had sparked. We attempted to drink the remainder of the keg and bottles of left over champagne in coffee mugs, which by, now were the only clean cups available. We reminisced about college, recited our favorite movie lines and enjoyed each others company, while catching up on days passed. At one point my brother’s girlfriend Alyssa, came up with a brilliant idea to boil the left over lavender from the wedding in a pot over the fire. The smell was brilliant and will forever remind me of our wedding days. The evening was so simple, and unplanned, yet so memorable. Just sitting with dear friends so long into the night that the fog began to settle around us, it was beautiful. I never could have imagined that my first night as a newlywed, I’d be camping among friends, but it was truly delightful to enjoy the simplicities of life. I shall never forget this spot, on this night.

Someone’s getting a major grooming tomorrow. She’s pretty good about that sort of stuff, loves to be pampered. I’ve created a prissy little monster :)

What to Do This Weekend Watch “Star Trek” on DVD You made him endure 27 Dresses, so be a team player and cue up J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek on your next movie night. Thrilling action, romance, and an easy-on-the-eyes cast (including Just My Luck’s Chris Pine, left) will make this the easiest sacrifice you’ve ever made. -real simple
Taking their advice and watching this on “his” new 40” Sony TV he just had to have :) i have to admit the quality is amazing, so maybe there’s a win for me too.

File Under: Birthday Gift Options.
Dear Husband,
I just found out that Crumbs has three locations in CT and my birthday is nearing. Just throwing the option out there, these are tasty treats you will undoubtedly enjoy as well. Not to worry, they can also ship them to you if you’re not willing to drive down to the shoreline. With Love, your wife.
PS: I’ll take the classic size in Chocolate covered strawberry, Raspberry swirl and Vanilla Coconut please.

Have you ever told someone something and then wish immediately that you could retract the words? Ugh, word vomit.
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness..For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone…People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.
