I ran in to Ann Taylor Loft today and I fell in love at first sight ...
This leather number is oh-so-chic and it's a lot cuter in person. It is full price at $199 now but never fear, it will be on sale by October and then it will be hanging in my closet! When I went online to find this picture to show you all it read "as seen in people style watch". So you don't have to take my word for it, lots of other people must think that it is cool too :)

I started a post mere seconds ago to tell you that I am worn slap out and to ask if would it be okay if we did Wedding Wednesdays tomorrow. I immediately felt guilty, erased the post, and here we are. Do you love me? Say you love me. Okay, thanks. I love you all too. If you knew how tired I was you would love me even more :)
I am most fond of pictures of me in which you cannot actually see my face!
(Okay ya'll, forget the tears - I am about to CUSS. It is taking appx. 3 minutes for each photo to upload. I am SCREAMING!)
This is the first time I had seen the Beau that day.
I guess the best man is giving the Beau some good advice before I walk down the aisle :)
Here I come!
And ... we are married! Whoo Hoo!
Okay kids, it is bedtime. I got you through the ceremony, can we finish the reception up tomorrow? Pretty please. It is now already Thursday so Wedding Wednesday is all jacked up anyways. I'll tell you what ... I will let you see this little video. But it is not staying up for long because it has our names on it. Only my avid reader friends will have the privilege! Night night!

I was flipping through my new J.Crew catalogue (since I am not watching 90210) and I have a question for you. Am I the only one who thinks that the Crew is getting a lil pricey? Now J.Crew is definitely not your run of the mill shopping mall store but $600 shoes, $450 handbags, and even a $3,500 dress! That is a little excessive for a store that would be a stretch to call "designer". I'm just wondering what ya'll think. Maybe they have always been that expensive and I have never really noticed but, geez, I am noticing now!
Gold, driving moccasins - I love all the colors but the gold is my fave!
I adore both of these dresses ... of course if I get them both, one of them will have to come in a different color!
No questions asked, this sweater will be on my body at the first sign of fall. I love the femininity of it. I have a boyish figure, straight up and down, so most sweaters (especially crew necks) don't exactly flatter me. This one, however, should be just right!

Numero Uno:
I just got back to my hotel room from eating at Ruby Tuesdays (which can be tragic in itself but that is not what I am talking about today). The tragic part is that I ate there ALONE! I have never in all my 24 years eaten at a real, sit-down restaurant all by myself. This is major for me. I travel a good bit with my job so I am used to eating by myself but never in a restaurant. I usually just order something and bring it back to my room or eat in the car when I am in a hurry. I hate to see people sitting by themselves at restaurants, it makes me sad. My dad says that he likes to eat alone, read the paper, and relax but I hate it when he does that! Most folks who eat by themselves probably are fine and prefer to eat alone or they are on business, there are thousands of different reasons they could be eating alone, but for some reason my heart always hurts when I see people eating by themselves.
Anyways, I decided that I would be a big girl tonight and go eat at the restaurant. Let me just tell you, it was not relaxing, it was not fun, and I did not enjoy it one bit. I ordered a sangria to take the edge off and sucked it down in about 2 minutes. Once I ordered and my waiter took away my menu I had nothing to even pretend to be looking at so I reached for my phone - and it was dead! You have to be kidding me. So I just sat there all alone in a restaurant that, by the way, smelled like urine. Sick! The Belle is having a pity party and will never do that again!
At least 90210 premiers for 2 whole hours tonight. I ate dinner at 5:00 just to ensure I will be home in time to watch every second of it!
Numero Dos:
You probably already know where this is going. I get back from the restaurant, iron my clothes for tomorrow, packed up my bag because I am checking out early in the morning, washed my face, brushed my teeth, and crawled in to my big, comfy, king-sized bed. The little piece of paper beside my bed says that the CW is on channel 7 so at promptly 6:50 pm I turn it to channel 7. Guess what is on channel 7? NOT THE CW! Its the AngelOne Channel. I am frantically flipping through all the channels trying to find the CW so I can watch 90210. I can't find it!!! I decided to call down to the front desk and ask them why the piece of paper says that channel 7 is the CW when, in fact, it is not the CW!!!!! The front desk lady replies, "this area no longer gets the CW". Again, YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME.
The Belle is sad. Very sad.

I missed Gossip Girls!!!! I am on central time and didn't even think about it. It came on at 7 pm here. BOO!!! I will probably miss 90210 tomorrow night too since I will be working late. Double BOO!!! How do you central time peeps deal with that? I seldom have dinner on the table by 7. If you watch all the good shows at 7 and 8 (8 and 9 eastern time) what do you do for the rest of the evening? Maybe you do housework ... I wouldn't know about that!
Ohh I just found where I can watch online.
And by the way, someone asked me in a comment what peeps are. They are people. You know, "my peeps" - my people. Unless I am talking about the marshmallow goodness that comes out at Easter time ... Peeps. Confusing? I apologize.

I said yesterday that I was going to binge through Monday .... and I have done just that. The Beau and I ate at Five Guys for lunch and it was fantastic! If you have never had a burger and fries from Five Guys then you are missing out. They are supposedly the hottest franchise around and they are popping up all over the place so go and find one!
I am travelling all week for work. Right now I am in Alabama, in a hotel room, all alone, the air condition is blasting as cold as it gets and I am laying in the bed with the following:
A pizza with all the toppings I like, a big ole fully leaded coca-cola, my laptop, the remote control, and a good book. I'm fat and happy!
I guess I am about to watch the premiere of Gossip Girls. I have never seen it before but I have heard a lot about it and I need to know what all the fuss is about. And tomorrow, 90210! Any thoughts, opinions, and/or predictions on either show?

Well, the Eagles got killed. Shocker. It was as hot as all get out and I thought I was going to die. We cheered for them until half time from section 603. Do you hear me? We were in section 603! 6 levels up ... I could have touched the sun. The "nose bleed" section does not even begin to describe where we sat! It was okay though because I had my bff sitting next to me and we whined together. It was fun to see so many familiar faces from college! It floors me that there were close to 100,000 people in that stadium and we ran in to at least 30 people that we knew. We also watched 3 different people being carried off on stretchers and being iced down. I am telling you, it was HOT!!!!
This is my friend, Nicole, and me before the game ... can't show you any other pics because my dress was soaken wet with sweat in places no girl wants sweat :)
Tonight we went over to my aunt and uncle's house to swim and had a little family cook out. My cousin recently had TRIPLETS and they are sooo precious. They are about 5 months old so there were babies to go around for everyone. We took pictures and I will be sure to post them soon (they weren't on my camera but my aunt promised she would email them to me).
I have eaten non-stop for 3 days straight. I'm begining to feel a little nauseous. I will continue with the binge through tomorrow but Tuesday it is on like donkey kong. I am going to be sorry 4 weeks from now when I am sitting on the beach in Costa Rica looking (and feeling) like a beached whale. Yes ma'am, it is on. 5 pounds in 4 weeks is completely do-able. But, good lord, I hate a diet. I should have joined Operation Skinny Bitch. Wonder if they are still accepting members?!?!
