Neglect

It's an ugly word, but it's the truth.I have been neglecting my blog. On the other hand, I can happily say though that the bachlorette went of without too many problems (stupid alarm system...), my sister's wedding was AMAZING (she was so happy she was vibrating. No, really, she did a happy dance on the alter), and now I have two - yes TWO - new part time jobs.

If you remember, for the bachlorette we went for a Kate Spade inspired theme. So there was Kelley green, black and white, polka-dots, and details that had "utility, wit and playful sophistication" written all over them. My favorite part was the balloon chandelier I created.

this would be me laughing too hard while blowing up the balloons...

The wedding was amazing, but I'm afraid I don't have any photos to share. It's what happens when you're one of the maids of honor, and therefore have no camera all night.

Speaking of Kate Spade, it's one of my new employers. Epic, right?! So I now get to drool over awesome bags while trying to sell them to people. Sometimes I think I do a better job of selling them to myself, but whatever. The other job is at Talbots. This is a little entertaining in my family because my grandmother retired from the company not too long ago. It's a small world after all... Also, my managers are freakin' AWESOME! Just thought you should all know.

Long time no blog

But I'm sure that is rather preferable since I haven't done much. And since I neither enjoy reading, nor writing filler posts, I find it better to wait. Interesting things: I don't know if anyone that reads this blog remembers, I'm one of my sister's maids of honor (yes there's two, me and my baby sis) and as such, I am helping set up the bachlorette party. Not much to tell at the moment except that I created the invites and sent them out on Monday. I am rather proud of these beauties!

Yes it's blank, but you all don't need to know details! That's a surprise...

Also, every so often I enjoy attempting to feed myself real and interesting food. Oh, the horror stories my family could tell you. This time however, I actually made something to be proud of. After a little internet research (I bow at the alter of Google...) I was able to figure out how to bake bacon wrapped scallops. Now anyone who has ever tried to cook any seafood knows, it can either really good or really disastrous. Thankfully mine was the former. Personally, if anyone wants to try this amazingness, I would suggest looking at different recipes and figuring out what works best depending on what equipment and ingredients you have on hand. 

 I was even classy and had some white wine (Chardonnay to be exact) with my dinner. Also, it may look small, but boy does it fill you up.
