Wedding Planner!

I have neglected to post about this for a while. I bought a myself a binder for the wedding planning. I thought it would be lame to use a left over binder from law school to hold all of the clippings from wedding magazines of things that I like.

I looked at wedding binders at Barnes and Noble and they were all pink with flowers and hearts on them. Plus, all pre-made binders had tabs and lists in them and my sisters already gave me a great set of planning sheets for my new leather daily planner! So, I tried to find an orange binder (you know I love that color) or a cheap leather binder. I could find nothing nice looking under 30 or 40 dollars, which seemed steep for a binder.

Then I stumbled across Avery's website. They have custom printed binders for less than $20. I was sold! I chose a pre-fab pattern for the background (I could have uploaded an image) and I picked a font for the text. It was easy and it arrived within the next week.

Since I got it I have been filling it with clippings from wedding magazines. It definitely makes the clippings seem more special than if they were stuffed in the envelope that I originally started storing them in.

I love it! And I love the frentic pace of your blog-updating :). Yay for having Alicia back in full effect.

Can't wait to see what you have planned for the wedding...keep in mind that regardless I will be showing up in a poofy dress with a big bow on the butt. It can be orange, in your honor.

PS: The gremlins scared the crap out of me as a child...but Gizmo is cool. You're going to have more cats than Broadway in your backyard if you don't cap the feeding soon! Cute, though.

Spareribs, Sauerkraut and Dumplings

For Valentine's Day this year I cooked a dish that reminds me of home like no other.  It's a family recipe that my Mom knows by heart and my Dad gets on special holidays. Spareribs, sauerkraut and dumplings: Here's my plate before I started inhaling it.     Not everyone likes it.  I didn't like it until I was an adult and came across a very similar dish in the Czech Republic.  I craved home-cooked food at the time and I instantly became obsessed with the dish. The tricky part about the recipe is that it wasn't really written down.  My Grandmother, Anita, wrote a copy for my Mom a long time ago but my Mom has since changed parts to simplify the recipe.  This is the recipe that my Mom told me and I adjusted on my own. For the Dumplings: These are the dumpling when they were boiling, as they start to get done, they float to the top of the water. 3 c bread crumbs (about a half of a loaf dried on a tray for a day and broken up in a food process...

A Place to Log My Progress

This blog has just been sitting out here for nearly two years without a new post. So, I thought I would put it to some good use and start logging my progress with some of my new hobbies. This is what I look like nowadays, blue hair and all. What have I been doing? I started jogging. It is very slow going and it hurts like hell. But it will be worth it.  I'm painting and drawing. I am not very good but I get better with each attempt. I figure that if I keep it up, I can only improve, right? I want to start writing fiction again. This one is arguably the hardest for me. Even though I am a professional writer and write for a living, it is different for me when it is fiction. I've signed up for an online class to try to get over that hump.  Also, I am always watching some horror movies. My goal is to start writing fewer reviews and more substantive content over on my other blog: www.horrormoviemaven.com .  Do you have any hobbies you have taken up recent...

Halloween Project 2009: Zombie Box

I love zombie movies. My first date with Brian, I made the poor guy watch Dawn of the Dead and Shaun of the Dead . A while back I saw a photo of a glass case that held a fake shotgun that said "in case of zombies break glass" (click here for my original inspiration). Of course, I wanted one. However, they were a promotional item for a videogame. Plus, the shotguns were fake, not at all useful if zombies actually were going to attack. I tried to see if I could buy one of those fire cases that hold fire extinguishers and fire blankets and just adapt it. Those boxes, it turns out, cost at least a hundred dollars. I decided to take matters into my own hands and build myself an emergency box to prepare for the zombie apocalypse. I bought a frame for a few bucks from a discount store and hand painted the glass: The objects surrounding the glass were part of my "cat deterrence system." Oddly it worked. Livia prefers to sit on my paper projects anyways. I built a...
