The Wedding Dress Test

Your Personal Style:
Classic and elegant. You prefer to make a statement with a few quality pieces.

Your Ideal Wedding:
Traditional and formal, but not tacky. You think the most beautiful weddings are understated.

Your Philosophy on Marriage:
It's a serious commitment, and the couple entering it should be ready to work for their relationship.

Your Perfect Marriage:
Is calm, stable, deep, and meaningful.

My Thoughts:
Well, I will accept the first point, that's fine. I tend to be a little odd, but of the six images shown, there wasn't a Renaissance-style dress in there, so this was the best of the lot. I hate tiered dresses, I would not consider a pants-suit (for anything), I'm not one for sheath dresses and not merely due to my girth, and the other one was... was... hold on... a big bell look and one that was full from just under the breasts down. Yikes.

Points 2 and 3 are good for describing me. I always tell people that relationships are hard work but the payoff is amazing. Deep, meaningful and stable is great, but they forgot fun. Fun is very important. Couples who can't laugh - at other things and at themselves - can't survive.

My ideal wedding is tiny, filled with great music that we want, loaded with dancing and with Hawai'ian pizza! And no unwanted guests just because someone feels that one should invite people for networking or schmoozing or because they are family - I hate Luis' father and I'm not nuts about most of his family except his sister Anna and I am not hot on all of my family (thankfully my family is very small) so guess what - I won't invite them! It's our party, why invite people one does not like? And seating - were we to have a big enough wedding - suck it up and deal with where we put you. I hate that... Mrs. Smith can't sit next to Mrs. Whatsit because 55 years ago they had a tiff and can't stand one another. TOO BAD!

If I told you this story already I'm sorry for the repeat.
We were married almost 25 years ago. We were young and neither families could afford a wedding with reception. Not that we wanted one anyway. We chose to be married by the Mayor of hubby's town. And I wanted it to be JUST US. The only other people asked were my maid of honor and his best man as witnesses. Right before the short ceremony in his office started, the Mayor said a few others had shown up and would I want to move things out into the hall. I said NO. It was hubby's parents and a few of his friends. But because we had already told my parents and friends that we would hook up with them AFTER the service, they did not come. What I wanted. So I did not allow the others in. OH boy, that didn't go over so well. LOL
But you know, it was my day. And, quite frankly, I was pregnant and dealing with emotions and moods and being young and having to figure out how we'd manage. We met with everyone afterwards and then took our MOH and BM out to dinner and then to the Casinos but we didn't have the money for a honeymoon and actually didn't get one until we were married 6 years.
So ours wasn't the traditional celebration either, but we didn't go into debt to do it and we're still together all these many years later and I'm sure I was forgiven for being 'young and rude' ?? or whatever people thought of me then. I didn't so much care though. LOL

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
