I really hate being jealous. My family is in Coronado this week enjoying the beach…lucky dogs. And I’m also wishing I didn’t have to work this weekend since the weather is so nice. I’m distracting myself by planning for my comp day next Wednesday. I think I’ll have a nice breakfast, followed by a trip…

The sun is shining. The weather is unseasonably warm. 30 Rock is back. Wedding planning isn’t stressing me out too much. Rob and I toasted our good fortune last night with the first margarita of the summer. Hooray!

Laurie is going to Ireland for the summer and wants a sophisticated, artsy look: I really enjoy your blog, and your “what to wear” advice is fabulous (which brings me to the purpose of this email)…I’ve just turned 22, and I’m about to move from Alabama to Cork, Ireland for at least 3 months this…

Old friends of my parents had Rob and I over to dinner earlier this week to celebrate our engagement. This couple has lived in San Francisco for over 40 years in a four story Edwardian house in the Inner Richmond. Before I moved to the city, I thought their home was large. Now that I…

Two more from Martha Stewart. I like both of these because they are compact and really let the garden roses shine.

Two more bouquet inspirations, this time from Martha Stewart. The yellow version is a little more “tropical” but you could replace the orchids with roses. I love the lightness. The teal version is a little denser but I really like the ivory filler.

I have my appointment with the florist this afternoon. We’re making our own centerpieces but I wanted to have a professional make the bouquets and boutonnieres. The idea is to use garden roses that will coordinate with the other flowers. I want the bouquets to be fairly small and looser rather than tighter. I’ll be…

The boss signed off on our honeymoon vacation request for 30 days off! And thanks to all your tips, we have a pretty good itinerary planned out. I can’t wait to unplug from work for a full 4 weeks. Neither of us have ever been to Yellowstone and we have about a week to explore…

I’m so jealous of all the little vacation jaunts everyone has planned for spring. Too bad that we’re stockpiling our vacation time for the big honeymoon trip this September. Sarah is off to Massachusetts: I’m a flight attendant so about 90% of my time, I’m in my “fantastic” uniform. The other 10% of the time,…

I have to work this weekend at a financial literacy conference for women (email me if you want more details). So I have a bit of comp time to use this week or next week. I’m thinking that a half day at the spa is just what I need. A facial followed by some time…
