I’m too excited to sleeeeeeep

Only one more sleep until the legendary (it hasn’t even happened yet and it’s already legendary) trip to Seattle.
All day I’ve been hearing the voice of this funny little guy playing over and over in my head:

Although I’m ecstatic to be going, the timing couldn’t be worse in terms of work; we have a huge [...]

One hundred push-ups for a slammin’ bridal bod

At my workplace there’s another girl who’s getting married just a month before me and so we spend lots of time hovering around each other’s cubicles, swapping ideas (and causing much eye-rolling among our neighbours, both male and female).

I’m making my own invites. Crazy? We’ll see.

Now that we’ve got our wedding date, it’s FULL STEAM AHEAD for my little wedding invite factory.
That’s right - after much research online, a couple of panicky trips to local stationery makers and lot of grumbling from Mr Purple (the fiance) about the cost of things “that people are just going to chuck in the [...]
