4/9/08-I’m Back!!

What have I been doing for the past 5 months?? Honestly, I have no idea how I managed to not blog. I mean it’s not like I haven’t been doing anything. But for the most part my life has been consumed with crafts & wedding planning.

Within the past couple of weeks there have been good & bad happening. The first bad thing is that I had honestly thought that I was going to have to settle for something I didn’t like for a wedding band. Roy did a great thing and got me a beautiful and very detailed engagement ring. However, that kind of limited me in terms of the style of wedding band I could get. Also, the price of platinum has completely skyrocketed. I wanted a beautiful ring, but was not prepared to go into more debt than I already am over it. It took Roy a bit to find a band that he liked. We ultimately ended taking advantage of another’s misfortune. Alpha Omega! A company that is notoriously overpriced (in my opinion) became quite advantageous for us! Roy found a “manly” palladium band for 70% off. Mine was a better find! Instead of taking the additional 10% off the 50% markdown…they took off an additional 28%! (We’re still waiting for them to realize this) Here is a picture of our wedding bands:

This next picture is of our cake topper. My cousin had one at her wedding and Roy just fell in love with it. Take a close look at him…doesn’t he look like what you would think a rabbi would look like?

And finally, there was the hair mishap. For anyone who knows me…I have, for a very long time colored my own hair. I have typically favored the fun colors by Garnier Nutrisse such as Chocolate Cherry and more recently Sangria. The only problem is that I can never seem to get the color even in the back and my copious amounts of gray hairs always start rearing their ugly head within a couple of weeks. I decided that I would suck it up and have my stylist do the color for the next couple of times. We decided to go a much darker brown, very close to my natural color (which I don’t think many people actually remember what that is anymore) with highlights of burgundy. This is what we ended up with:

Trust me…I looked like a close relative of Raggedy Ann! I went back yesterday to have it fixed. Thank goodness it actually worked and my hair now looks as we thought it should.

Now that I actually have a computer at home, I promise to continue blogging more!
