drama

We are back from the wedding. It was a great time, seeing a friend get married, catching up with some friends we hadn't seen in 6 or 7 years. There are some pictures up on the Grazus Blog, I will be adding a few more today probably. Yesterday we had to deal with Matt's car that wouldn't start. It needed a new ignition cylinder, fun. We learned that our landlord is apparently selling our house. I guess that means we really have to move out of Durham. Our landlord has yet to mention to us that she is selling the house, but told our upstairs neighbors by accident. She is supposed to be showing the house today at 2:30, but never told us that. We left a note about watching for the cat, but we didn't clean up one lick. Hopefully no one will want a house that is such a diaster. I guess this means we will need to really start getting rid of some of junk this weekend. I have a couple of pictures not from the wedding, but from this weekend that I will eventually get up on here, but I am a bum and lazy so I haven't gotten around to it. Oh yeah, and my camera may be dying. When you push down on the button to snap the picture, it takes forever to actually snap it. I don't know what happened. I have tried posting on some boards to see if anyone else has had the same problem, but so far I haven't had much luck. So I might have to buy a new camera. I was really hoping to wait until I actually book my first wedding, because then I would actually have some extra money to buy it, but it may have to happen sooner rather than later. Our upstairs neighbor has a mouse in there apartment, which is just lovely, because that probably means we have a mouse or two as well. Hopefully the landlord will do something about it. Maybe we can leave mouse traps out all over the place to scare the buyers away.

Fashion assistance

We are going to a wedding this weekend in Florida. Last night I went and bought a new dress to wear. All of my dresses that fit and I like are black and I didn't want to wear a black dress to a daytime Florida summer wedding. So I bought a yellow shirtdress at Marshalls. I can't find the exact dress online, so I will show you some dresses that are similar. Here is one from Target. Here is one from Nordstrom. And lastly here is one from J.Crew. The problem is, the dress came with this hideous plastic brown snake skin belt. I think the dress looks kind of blah without a belt of some sort, but I don't know what to replace it with. The belt it came with it wide, probably about 3 inches. Should I get something that I can tie in a bow? or just another belt that isn't so terrible looking? Suggestions of stores to check out would be appreciated. If I get a chance I will take some pictures tonight. Thanks.

Trash the dress

There is this great website that I found recently. It is called Trash the Dress. Basically the idea is that you are only going to wear your wedding dress once and that your children won't want to wear it so why bother storing it in a closet for the next 50 years when you can take some totally awesome pictures to remember it by. I am not so sure I want to do this with my own dress, because I am still holding out hope that I will find somewhere to wear it even though there is no wear acceptable to actually wear it and it probably wouldn't fit me anyways, but I really want someone to do it, so I can take some lovely pictures. So anyone up for it? Most of you don't even live nearby, so I doubt it, but worth a shot right? P.S. If someone wants to participate doesn't feel gutsy enough to trash their own dress, we could certainly buy a cheap one from a thrift store or ebay and do it that way.
