And then we continued blissfully into this small but perfect piece of our forever.

Today is August 13th.  Oddly enough, it is Bella and Edward's wedding day.  How fitting that today is Friday The Thirteenth, no?

I know this is a bit of a shock to those who know me in real life ... but I'm kind of a planner.  I am a bit of a "Type A" control freak.  Stop that laughing.  Anyhow, I love all things wedding.  I suppose that feeds into my need to control/plan things.  I suppose, of all the characters, I'm very Alice after all ... I like to drive fast and flashy cars, plan all sorts of things, and have an uncanny ability to know what will happen if I just follow my gut.

Anyhow.  Wedding.

InStyle Magazine did a huge "Plan The Wedding" spread.  Some of the stuff I liked (invitations and flowers), some of the rest of it was NOT what I envisioned at all.  I simply adore Reem Acra's philosophy and style, and I think that she's probably the most likely to create the gown for the Breaking Dawn movies.  Maybe Lhullier, I did note a very suspicious looking gown (albeit more lacy than I think Bella would wear) in her Spring 2011 collection.  At any rate, I'm interested to see how the vision I have in my head will play out on screen.

It's also been decided - I'm going to STL to see Part 1 with my Twihard BFF.  I bet her hubby will go with us, he's a Unicorn*.  I've seen the official release date as 11-18-2011, but I'm failing to understand why they're not going with 11-11-11.  Maybe they will eventually choose to do so, but I suppose for now that it's going to be 11-18-11.

I've also decided to try a little experiment with my In The Closet Unicorn ... my Panda.  I think I'll rack up my Twilight Saga books and see if he touches them.  I'm interested to see if he can resist the draw of the pretty black covers ...

And in case you wondered where the "unicorns i love them" tag came from ... check out this YouTube video / song.  Heh.

* Via my current favorite TwiSite, Letters To Twilight:  Unicorn: The name given to the mythical creature of that of a man who loves Twilight. We write about them all the time.

Ridin' Dirty

Look what's ridin' dirty with me.  Yes kids, that's my cap and gown.  Giggedy.

Lazy Girl

It is Sunday morning, and I'm lying in bed.  Currently, I am auditioning Blogger apps for my Droid.  See, I'm a bit of a nerd.  And honestly, I am all but married to my Droid.  You'd think that Android, being a Google joint and all, would have software linking their flagship mobile device with Blogger (another Google joint).  But noooooo.

I wrote this post with BlogAway.  It seems to be OK, but lacks a few things I prefer. Like, putting in a period when you double-space, auto-capitalization of I, etc. 

I hear the dulcet tones of my daughter ... more accurately, the whining that always ensues when she first gets out of bed.  This means it's time for me to roll over and go back to sleep.

Second verse, same as the first.

A little bit louder, and a little bit worse.

When I split from my ex-husband, my original blog was meant to be a healing exercise.  After I got over myself, it then morphed into a sordid tale of love, lust, loss, tears, joy, anger, frustration ... and ultimately, redemption.  

I've went back and reviewed the archives.  You know, I'm just not the same woman I once was.  Life's pretty good, and I think the original journal just ran it's course.  It's not you, it's me, and all that.  That's why I picked the cover art from  Breaking Dawn ... at one point in my life, around October or November of 2003, I was the pawn; the weakest piece on the chess board.  Eventually, much like Bella Swan, I found my "place" and my voice; and became the queen.  The strongest and most powerful piece on the chess board. 

So, here I am.  I figured that I need a place to "talk", aside from my poor husband and my overwhelmed friends.  Enjoy.
