I found this video on YouTube. I like geting to know our (hopefully) future First Lady.

The gap between the last and this post, that is. I’ve been up to so much. Where to begin…
Ah, yes. I took a trip with KidWonder to St. Louis way back in mid-July. While there I found the most beautiful wedding gown. I was lucky to find it because it was discontinued. I wish so much that I could show pictures here but DadWonder reads my blog. I’ll try to describe it <<DADWONDER, STOP READING NOW>> It’s a beautiful ivory gown with a chapel train and pick ups all over the skirt. In the creases of the pick ups are beaded designs that I’m going to try to recreate for clasp for my shoes. There is also beadwork at the top and it laces up the back. It looks so classic and I can’t wait for DadWonder to see me in. Well, I can wait until the wedding day…you know what I mean. If you want to see the gown on someone else (or on a dummy), go here.
When we got back from St. Louis, Dr. Maro put my braces on. It was a lot less painless than I thought it would be. I thought I would be holding an ice pack to my face for a week and begging for extra strength everything with a shot of rum. Not the case at all. The only discomfort I experience during the procedure was a result of a slip up
1&2: I’m a little late but I really want to see Dark Knight and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. How eclectic am I with a villainous action movie and an uber chick flick?
3: The Secret Life of Bees Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys, AND Jennifer Hudson in the same movie? Seriously? Got to see it. It doesn’t come out until October but I can’t wait. Queen’s southern accent is a bit too much but it should wonderful anyway.
4: House Bunny I know. I know. It doesn’t look that great. It’s more of a wen you’re 19 and you and your friends need to kill some time after you’re done with finals to unwind. Well even at 2?, I still think I could enjoy a completely slapstick, wannabe-Legally-Blonde movie. Right?
So last Friday (the 8th) I had oral surgery, but not before KidWonder got sick on Tuesday with a bad cold. So over the weekend DadWonder had two sickies to take care of.KW had a bad cold that caused his asthma to act up and we had to kick in to full gear with the meds. We were finally applauded by a physician on the stellar job we were doing taking care of our child. <sarcastic sigh of relief>
So with KW being medicated about 5 times a day we thought, “Why not send me in for 9 shots of local anesthetic, three tooth extractions, and surgical removal of an empacted wisdom tooth followed by a haze of pain accompanied with percoset and amoxicillin?” Why indeed. It’s all because, and I can’t believe I’m admitting this, I’m getting braces. Am I crazy for getting braces 8 months before the wedding? YES! Am I going to do it anyway? YES! It’s something I’ve wanted for a long time a my orthodontist (Peter Maro, formerly of the New York Rangers) promises that my smile will vastly improve by April. So on Tuesday I am off to have spacers put in even thought the pain of the surgery hasn’t completely subsided (Yay!). wish me luck.
That techie honey of mine has created a blog just for our wedding! ShayandTom.com is now customized. Still working out a few kinks and some language but please feel free to stop by and say “hi”!
Dress worn by Joy Nash in latest Fat Rant: $149
Shops like Torrid, Lane Bryant, and Kiyonna have outrageous prices. Manolo for the Big Girl offers up discounts at just such places. Even with these discounts, I’d still pay $100 for 2 dresses (though I did get 4 dresses from SizeAppeal for about $20 each w/ a code from Manolo). Maybe I just don’t understand fashion enough to pay this kind of money. I’m just a girl who was raised on WalMart, Target, and Payless Shoes, so excuse me if my country bumpkin ways aren’t savvy enough to get it. Even Target is now charging higher prices (storewide) so it’s hard to find the best deals there as well. I guess I’m just cheap.
I also never learned to walk in high heels. I wish I has because the dresses I do own need cute shoes. I buy cute shoes but I can’t go anywhere in them because I walk three feet and have to sit down. I want to learn before the wedding because I want to be super sexy at the rehearsal and super-duper sexy on the honeymoon.
I was on the Manolo for the Big Girl blog and found this new video by Joy Nash. I saw her Fat Rant on YouTube a few months ago and she’s released another.
