You're right, I don't like that idea...

Happy Birthday to me! 

Scene - Front office my boss walks in with flowers and a card and says "Happy birthday!" 

I open the card to find that they're paying me to take Friday off for my birthday. Our office is closed all of next week. I text the Mr.

Me: J &C are paying me to take Fri off as part of my bday present! They said they wanted to extend my weekend! 

Mr.: I know you're probably not going to like this idea but what about working Fri and seeing if they'll pay you for one of the other days next week..

Me: You're right, I don't like that idea...

Mr: It's more money for you to shop with.

Me: I'm good, thanks. 

Mr: I love you.

Me: You're a buzz kill, thanks!

Mr.: Wait, are you really buzzed? It's only 2PM.... And you're still working....

Oh, he's so cute.  And no, for the record I was not really buzzed at 2PM on a work day. I might be next week though! :)

It's my birthday and I'll eat candy for breakfast if I want to!

Today is my birthday and after watching the midnight showing of Eclipse last night and barely getting to work on time this morning I decided I'd eat my left over theater candy for breakfast.. Hey, the birthday girl gets to do what she wants right?? I'll probably pay for it later with a headache BUT in the mean time my birthday breakfast was fabulous! 

Who saw Eclipse last night?? What did you all think?!

Friday Favorites

This is my very first time playing along with Jenn's Friday Favorites.  This week is Favorite celebrity couple that didn't make it.

Spencer and Heidi- Speidi!!!

Did I scare you?! Ha! I kid. I actually am surprised these two made it as long as they did. Heidi was cute and sweet before she moved in with crazy Spencer.

Ok, so really I have a few that I love so I'm going to list them all in no particular order.

I'm really not a fan of Brangelina! I think that Jennifer is so much prettier and she just has so much more class.  Maybe Brad will wise up one of these days and it won't be too late.

Jessica seemed so comfortable with Nick. It never seemed like he made her feel stupid for her blonde moments. They just seemed so perfect together.

Kim and Reggie were adorable together! I thought they'd make it. Maybe they'll reunite?

Reese and Jake were one of my favorite celebrity couples. I'm still sad they split!

Who were your favorite celeb couples that split? Go over to Jenn's Blog and play along!

Wedding Wednesday!

When I started the wedding planning process I was gun-ho about creating my own bouquet. My mom and I even did a test run with a small bouquet of roses. As time goes on though I feel that I would rather have a gorgeous bouquet created for me and my beautiful bridesmaids. 

I've seen many beautiful arrangements and feel blessed that our venue has huge picture windows over looking a prestigious golf course so the setting is there and we don't have a need for table arrangements which will cut the cost of our floral substantially!

I recently started researching florists in Portland and found a few that I really liked. I have emailed one in particular several times but when I asked about scheduling a consult she failed to get back to me. It's been 3 weeks and I've emailed again with no response. I'm sorry but I don't care how gorgeous your work is if you can't respond to an email in a fairly timely manor then why would I trust that you'd be responsive the week of the wedding? I know this florist creates beautiful wedding arrangements but I prefer vendors who are reliable. This was discouraging.

Yesterday, I found an awesome florist in Portland who I hadn't seen before. She was even better than the girl that I loved. She's replied to my email quickly and told me when I could schedule a consult! I'll be calling on my lunch hour to schedule that. If I do book her I'll do a post all about her at a later date!

Did any of you have issues with vendors responding quickly and decide against them in the end because of it? Or did you have trouble contacting them but loved them so much that you booked them anyway? What was the end result if you did book a vendor who wasn't the best at communicating? Did you regret it? Did it turn out awesome?

Happy hump day.
