My sister is the bride’s maid for her best friend’s wedding this August. Today was our first outing looking for a dress at the local bridal shop. As soon as I walked in, this wedding dress, shining white with silk, lace, and bows, was waiting to greet me. It was wrapped around an immaculate headless Read more

Yesterday, we had another school shooting. And yesterday, yet again, a lot of people blamed video games, guns, bullying, ect ect ect. At this point, I really don’t think anything is really be done. Suggestions to stop or deter it has been teachers carrying guns, which I’m oddly for. Having worked in a public school Read more

Okay, well, I guess they don’t throw rice at weddings any more. I read somewhere that it swells up inside a bird’s stomach and it could kill them. I’m not sure what’s thrown any more.

It’s based upon circumstances of the weather rather than have any historical or societal reason. Regardless, it is a name. Sleeping Beauty’s name is Aurora. Like Snow White, Aurora’s name is based upon her Read more

While perusing my G+ page, I came across the above – and it seemed to hit home with the three ring circus – known fondly as the Road to the White House. Just to get this out – I think Hilary is going to win. No, I don’t support her. I don’t like her. Yes, Read more
