Like a STORM

This weekend went AMAZING!!! We all had a lot of fun. Good people, good food, great mix of music and lots of love. There was not one person there who made me feel a negative vibe (bc some people still dont approve of Rob and I). It was magnificent. Between the elope and the reception... I have to say we had the BEST wedding ever!

Besides the wonderful wedding we just moved into a great new apt... in the process of making it our own, it is coming out great! We are off the main road... and hear crickets at night and I dont mean from inside.

Today is the first day of my journey to becoming a non smoker again (only smoked for about 1 month on and off but used to smoke a few years ago)... wow right now is really ruff... i want a cig... no, no, nope... not going to have one! I will have to keep busy so i dont get pissy and irritable... more CREATIVE TIME!!!

Come back soon to check the new stuff out and more pics from out wedding reception.
Oh and chaeck this link THIS ONE for some pics we recieved now.

ITS HeRe!!!!!

This weekend, Saturday, is our Wedding Celebration... OMG!!!!!! Besides it's supposed to rain... we have to make sure everything goes KOSHER for 120 ppl. This past weekend was the Bachelor and ette parties... mucho FUN! I went on a canoe trip w 8 ladies and lots o beer. Yup... drunk me tipped the canoe, oops! Rob went fishing and played soccer with about 7 guyz, then we met up at the local bar to tease the hardcore Jets fans, haha! The image to the right is Rob at our camping outing the weekend b4 when we danced with the deer ticks. More images of our good and not so good, great times can be found here... PhotoBlog check them out.

Now all this wedding planning seems to be a breeze, now that we are not doing the ceremony BUT poor Rob has been freaking out, worrying if it rains, which it says it will, and if ppl dont dance or the music messes up... anthing and everything he is worried about, running out of food, or beer. It has become difficult to be around him as he stresses and then sleeps from exaustion, I just want him to get back to normal, FUN ROB! Ha, and get this last detail about my rant... WE MOVE SUNDAY... yay! No it will all be great! Fun times in the rain and even better ones hungover moving boxes. Till next week... peace, love and happiness!!!

I found this site about this ROCK... pretty cool, passionate, honorable. Copy from site.. "I'm told that there is a huge rock near a gravel pit on Hwy. 25 in rural Iowa. For generations kids have painted slogans, names, and obscenities on this rock, changing its character many times. A few months back the rock received its latest paint job and since then it has been left completely undisturbed. It's quite an impressive sight. Be sure to scroll down and check out the multiple photos (all angles) of the rock. I thought the flag was draped over the rock, but it's not. It's actually painted on the rock too."
Check out the site @ The Rock
More Pictures there too!!! Puttin this on a must stop spot for the ROAD TRIP

UpDATE

My My, what a crazy weekend and going to be week. This past weekend my husband and I took my sister, boyfriend, dan and our family camping for my sisters bday. Just some local spot on the island. It was good, awesome, great! There were some ups and downs with everyone... but no one can be perfect. I was trying to quit smoking, not a good idea for this weekend. I broke down and bought a pack. I was not a heavy smoker but I have been in the past. I was not smoking in the house or anything like that just 2 at work and if I would go out... but that was enough to have an effect on me when I went to quit. We, meaning me sister hub dan and bf decided to go find the bay... we found a trail which had a sign road so we thought... down here! The trail soon became narrow and not long after that we were looking at a patch of tall grass. Dan decides to go thru it and calls us all on, saying it is clear after the patch... blah blah blah after many more patches, a slight lost camera (dropped it in the tall grass) we ended in a thorn forrest dead end... TURN AROUND... back thru the patches, found the camera along with a parade of deer ticks covering our legs and feet. Crazy! i never seen so many ticks, I though they were mites. Before we left the trail we saw some deer... BEAUTIFUL! Fully aware of us some galloped away and some stayed to look at us as we gazed upon them. Back at camp we washed off and managed to stay out of the woods... playing cards and doing some good ol fishing. Caught about 10 fish total, the whole weekend. Now... I call myself a vegan MOST of the TIME... if i catch it I eat it. Once home we got back to our ongoing reality of moving and wedding plans. We eloped in June and are haveing the reception this weekend... in 2 weeks. Music is the only really big thing to take care of and final guest list to give to the cook. Moving we are doing for the next few days... PACKING :( Siked about the new place but not the move. I might not be on here to much the next few days. Wish me/us luck!!

Beeeeeeeeee... yourself

MainBee on Etsy created this ornament... great detail! She also gives a lot of information on the process and beeswax like such "How is honey made?

Bees prepare honey from nectar which they collect from flowers and blossom of trees. They use it, as well as pollen, as food for their young. Honey is a mix of natural sugars (80%), water (18%) and minerals, vitamins, pollen, protein and amino acids (2%). Around 70% of honey's natural sugar content is made up of fructose and glucose

Varieties of Honey

Liquid or set?

Around 70% of honey's natural sugar content is made up of fructose and glucose. Clear and set honeys can be compared to ice and water - two different forms of the same thing. The more glucose a honey contains, the more likely it is to crystallize and therefore become a set honey. All honey starts off as liquid but will set eventually. The speed at which this will happen depends on the sugars they contain and the temperature at which they are kept. Both types are equally pure and contain no additives and there is no difference in the taste or nutritional value of these two states.

Is it true that honey is heated? " PLUS more... though there is a lot to read it is very informational and interesting... maybe no the best for etsy but certainly "cool!"

There are candles and even honey on her shop... check it out!!

Red Brilliance

There are so many beautiful and creative findings on Etsy. This one I found this morning and it's GREAT! (for lack of a better word this morning). The materials used are listed as acrylic... in the description it talks about laser. Not sure if she/he made each piece with acrylic using a laser or what but it is very bold, brilliant and beautiful. The pieces are held together with wire. For sure an ONE OF A KIND masterpiece. Just when you think you have seen most of etsy... think again, you ain't even close!

Another thing on etsy I noticed is that it is Spanish friendly... now I wonder if that means you have to type it out in Spanish or if the website translates it for the individual. Being in the website and graphics industry 9-5 I tend to be a little curious about these topics... ha the computer nerd in me!!
