Here she is, actress extrordinaire, Brenda!
Brenda lives in LA with her fiance, Tim.
We met in college when I was sitting outside my room talking on the phone. My roomate was moving out, and Brendan was in a triple looking to move out. She asked if she could move in with me and I said yes! The rest is history.
Brenda is f-a-m-o-u-s, and has much bridesmaid experience. Here she is in the latest Gnarls Barkley Video (the waitress).
Love you Bda!

Aug. 27 marks one year on my blog!
200 Posts!
6,637 Blog Views!
And to think, I started with 21 Views in August of 2007. Today I have had 66.
This year I have: Painted my living room and kitchen, Replaced all the knobs in the house, put together 5 Ikea furniture items (grrr), bought a Roomba, gotten engaged, made an ice cream cake, started Grad school, taught summer school, attempted to work out regularly, and began planning my wedding.
Next I will: Learn how to make green curry, make an ice cream cake from scratch, place in the apple pie contest, graduate with a Masters Degree, get a new job, talk Brendan into getting a kitten, find a wedding dress, paint my bedroom, finally replace the vanities in the bathrooms, buy a pull-out couch for visitors, register for the wed, do various DIY projects, Get Married!
I hope you’ll be with me along the way. I couldn’t do it without you!
Oh, and only 401 days till my wedding!

At the beginning of the summer I planted basil and parsley, the basil has since passed but the parsley is still kicking. I have had a sad little pepper plant all summer who didn’t look as if she would make it.
Lo and behold:
Sorry about the quality, my camera is a piece.

My friend Amy came up this weekend (actually down, from Michigan) and we went to White Chicago. It was amazing. Unfortunately, we forgot my camera, but I found two dresses I really liked.
The staff was great, I would truly recommend going there. You have to take off your shoes, which is a little weird, but it is to protect the gowns, which are all “once-wed” or samples. You actually buy the dress you try on, there is no ordering.
We have settled on A-Line, sweetheart neckline, strapless. Everyone agrees that this is the most flattering on me. The problem is A-line can mean anything from Pouffy Frou Frou to a modified mermaid. Whatever the designer chooses.
The knot considers all of these A-Line.
I’m sure, the knot.
I’m not a pouffy girl, so I have a hard time finding dresses I like that don’t cling to my nether regions. Everyone says “You’ll know when you have it on”, but I have a hard time deciding.
So no decisions yet.

Okay, now I’m going to indulge you in looking at me in aforementioned dresses. I want to preface this with the fact that I don’t feel fantastic in general trying on dresses. It should get better.
After the jump, fiance.

Right now here is the magazine sitch:
I have already vowed to let Lucky and Glamour run out, Met Home was a gift and I’ll keep it if it continues being a gift.
I wanted to add some bridal to the mix, and I went a little nuts when I saw the prices on this website:
I now am getting:
And I only spent about $50.
I am keeping Real Simple and Rachel Ray as well.
Luckily, the bridal magazines are only 4-6 issues a year, and Domino is 10 issues.
And I recycle.
Still on my wishlist:
