Friday Bullets: Birthday Boy Edition
- I can’t decide whether this week went by super quickly or super slowly. I keep changing my mind.
- I’ve had tiny hints of a cold all week long, each morning waking up with a scratchier throat than the day before. Then, last night right before bed, I developed the worst stomachache ever. It’s still here.
- I’m trying to ignore Dr. Google’s offer for a house call, but it’s SO HARD. (feel free to ask Dr. Google what stomach pain around the belly button lasting for 12 hours means for me).
- Today we’ll be looking at 3 potential wedding venues. One of them is definitely my favorite and if they can hold the capacity we need, then I’m pretty sure we’ll book it. But, I’m not sharing the location until it’s booked. So, all the other Portland Brides who are trying to steal my location ideas can just go elsewhere. (Flugel Horn, maybe?)
- This week was my sweet fiance’s birthday. Also, it was his twin brother’s birthday. Funny how that works out. Anyway, I thought I was being the BEST FIANCEE ever by bringing him cupcakes from Saint Cupcake which is a darling little cupcake shop here in Portland. But, mistake 1: I brought him a Fat Elvis Cupcake which is banana and chocolate. He apparently doesn’t like banana (yet he eats banana bread?) Mistake 2: the cupcakes were all dry (NOT MY FAULT). Mistake 3: I did not get a cupcake for myself. Actually, if they were dry, maybe it wasn’t a mistake.
- Anyway, I totally redeemed myself with an awesome birthday dinner for both boys at Tabla (which is my very favorite Portland restaurant at the moment). If you come to visit me, we’ll go there.
- This weekend, we’ll extend the boy’s birthday celebration in wine country with wine and awesome Spanish food. (Hello little crab stuffed peppers! I am going to eat you!)
- If you’ve not consulted Dr. Google yet about my tummy ache, can I suggest that you do so now? SO HURTY AND OWIE.
- If I survive these stomach pains, I’m looking forward to having Kali and Kerri over on Tuesday night for our very popular and very fun Girls’ Bad TV Night. Quite honestly, we never end up watching much tv because there is too much talking and eating, but we still have a great time and we TRY to watch at least something on television that is really trashy.
- Oh, so I went to Nordstrom Rack this week with strict orders for myself to buy myself a pair of brown flats and BROWN FLATS ONLY. But, instead, I came home with these. I really should return them and get BROWN FLATS because they really don’t fit perfectly, but look at how fricking cute they are!
- Okay. I think that’s all. What are YOU doing this weekend? Also, should I keep the shoes even if they’re a smidge too small?

The week…. it has crawled! On all fours!
Sorry about the stomach ickies. Don’t know what to tell you…
And the shoes! KEEP THEM!
9. October - 10:38 amKeep the shoes. Buy a cedar shoe form from Target and use it to slowly give them a hint of stretch (best to do after you’ve worn them for a few hours and your body heat has warmed the shoe – then place in the form, give it a stretch and let them sit).
Enjoy your weekend, sweetie – I’m going to try to finish unpacking and making my house feel more homey.

keep those shoes

Return the shoes. Too small shoes are painful. It would mean you could only wear them if you were going some place where you’d be sitting a lot and just looking pretty. Trust me, I know. I have a pair of those types of shoes.
They ARE pretty cute though.

This week literally sucked the very life from my core. And the weekend isn’t looking much better – but I have to say, those shoes brightened my day immensely! I love them!

The shoes are cute, but if they’re too small, you won’t wear them. Save the $40 and put it towards shoes you love and that fit.
And I’ve been about 33% sick all week. It’s time to move it or lose it, cold. Stay or go, but make up your damn mind already.

Love La Rambla! Yum-o. Did you enjoy it? It was Zoers wedding this weekend, so I was out of my mind running around and preparing, but we got her married and now I get to sleep again- yay! Scarlett O’Sarah’s birthday party is tonight, but let’s finalize our plans. Are you still planning on Girl’s Burger Night?! Let me know! A xo

Is Rehab at The Hard Rock part of your bad TV night? Because you’re the only other person I know who watches that and I just want to punch Matt in the face.
Feel better!
