Kitty In a Box

So today, Zoomie decided she wanted to jump into the smallest shoe box I own. I thought I would share some of the pictures I took of her. Enjoy! :P

WORDS

I have been writing poetry since I was in Junior High. It's something I've loved to do for a long time. In fact for a long time in college I wanted to go into journalism. I should have been an English major--I wanted to write for a magazine or something. In light of this, I thought I would share a poem that I wrote on my blog.

"WORDS"

Words are
Things of deception
Things of happiness
Blinks
of winks
From your eyes
Of light mahogany burning through mine
Loving since that day in March
Now slicing through my soul
I built myself around you
Believing
That leaving
Was something of the past.
The simple smell of your skin
enough to push me to the brink of tears.
Years are not enough to love you
it will take me forever.
Make no promises.
Perfection is a perspective
that does not exist.
Love will injure
and mend
all in one day
in a combination of
copulation and kisses.

Words are
Things of Passion.
Things of Hate.
Pieces of me and you
your warmth.
Enough to ward off the cold
But not the coldness of your words
in those light mahogany eyes
But love will injure
and love will mend.
Tend to our wounds
And start another day.
Because perfection
is a perspective
that does not exist.
List the pain
and then erase it
Start again.

Countdown to Bridal Show

So last week I purchased tickets to go to a Bridal Show Expo in San Diego. It is going to take place this Sunday and I am soo excited. I feel like such a girl, but I've never been to a bridal show before and I can't wait. I think it will make things feel that much more real and it will remind me of how much I still need to get done in the next couple of months. I'm also thrilled that Edgar is going with me--he'll get to see a fashion show that actually includes the guys tuxes and I'm hoping he'll see a style he likes. ~Click Here for Bridal Bazaar Website~


And well since I didn't blog about my New Years, here's a picture of us New Year's Eve at my mom's house:

New Year, New Glasses =)

So today I went to the Eye Dr. and chose a new pair of glasses. There's a story behind all of this and it's all wrapped up in drama. Oh, how I love drama. Before Thanksgiving I had gone into the Eye Dr.'s Office with the impression that I wanted some "fancier" eye-glasses so I ordered some really nice wire-framed ones. Well they came in the middle of December. Turns out the Dr. had changed my eye prescription and I knew it the second I put them on my face. "It'll take some getting used to," the assistant said. But, I didn't need to get used to them--I've been wearing glasses for 20 years, trust me, I know when I'm not going to get used to something. So, sure enough a week later I went back to the Eye Dr. requesting that he review my prescription. The Dr. confirmed after the "which one is better, one or two" tango that the right had in fact been too strong. So, they tell me they are going to order the new lense for the right side and call me when it gets in--well that took forever and a day with the holidays. I got a call last week that the lense had come in so I went to get the glasses fitted. I wore them for days and tried to get used to them, but I had been wearing plastic frames for like 6-7 years and having nose pads again felt so weird! I was unhappy, so I called up the Eye Dr. and the assistant told me to come in to choose a new pair of plastic ones...after a couple of pairs I found a pair that I think are very "me" and I can't wait to get them! I'll post pics as soon as they come in. I was told it would take two weeks...YAY!




Here they are in all their glory. They are Bebe "Envy" in Cocoa Puff! :D
