Friday Ramblings

Happy Friday! Lots of random things for you today...

• The Royal Wedding! I didn't wake up for it, but I did catch a little bit of it this morning and have been stalking pictures all day. I absolutely adored Kate's dress. It was exactly what I thought she'd wear, and it did look pretty similar to the sketch I posted a couple days ago! She is just stunning and they look so in love!

• The tornadoes. My heart is aching for the people who were affected on Wednesday night. Atlanta was lucky enough to miss the big damage, but it's so sad to see friends and neighbors (in Georgia and Alabama) going through this horrific event. Doug and I plan on sending a box of clothes and other goods to Tuscaloosa this weekend...has anyone done this yet and know where the best place is to send items?

• The Office. I am going to miss Michael Scott so much! I cried all throughout the episode last night, and I just can't imagine how they will ever fill his shoes!

• The Monster. Yes, we had a monster in our apartment last night. I'm a little hesistant to put a picture of it on here because, honestly, it absolutely freaks me out just to even look at a picture. But to get the full effect of my terror, I think it's necessary.

(I apologize if this is scaring the bejeezus out of you....I have to squint when I'm looking at it, then it's not quite as bad. And this is not a picture of the one visiting us...Doug found a look-a-like online)

This little gigantic creature was sitting in our bathtub oh, about 20 minutes after I took a bubble bath. He was probably 3" long and 2" wide. I screamed my head off, ran out of the room, then Doug came to kill it. Doug said it hissed at him. It was that big and scary. Now, I am terrified to walk into our bathroom just in case his brother is in there looking to get revenge. If it ever happens again, we're moving.

On that happy note, I hope you all have a lovely weekend! :)

Royal Wedding

I'm linking up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday!



So, as I have previously mentioned several times, I am one of the many women who finds herself completely obsessed with the Royal Wedding. I am a sucker for fairy tales and happy endings, and this love affair is definitely one in my book. It doesn't hurt that Kate is also gorgeous and has impeccable style. I. Am. Obsessed.

And my favorite...

Doug, however, is far from it and is annoyed with my appreciation for this event. He makes the argument that the Royal Family has no real meaning or purpose....it's tradition, my dear! Doug is suffering through this week as I make him watch TLC's Royal Wedding Week...a small sacrifice if you compare it to football season (although I really can't complain...I love football, too). He does seem to find comfort in the fact that this gives him a good excuse to speak with a British accent all week (in which I gladly join....everything sounds fancier with a British accent).

Did any of y'all catch the William and Kate movie on Lifetime? I was a little disappointed with the actress who played Kate...I picture her in my head to be a little more poised and refined (said in a British accent), but overall I enjoyed watching their love story. Though I really wonder how much is fact and how much is fiction.

I haven't decided if I will be waking up early to watch it on Friday, since I could DVR it and watch it that night after work. I require a ridiculous amount of sleep each night, so I think anyone who came in contact with me on Friday would suffer if I did wake up early for it. I do, however, want to eat scones and drink tea (and I don't even like tea) while I'm watching it....all the more fancy!

The thing I'm excited most about seeing is Kate's dress. I love anything weddings, but the dress is always my favorite to check out. I think she will keep it classic and elegant, with a full skirt. I really like the top of this one...I'm a sucker for lace.

One of my other favorite parts of a wedding is the cake. I imagine their cake to look something like this, but 5 times bigger of course.

So are y'all as excited as I am? What do you think Kate's dress will look like? Are you waking up early to watch it?

Cheers!
