Well I've become one of THOSE people.  I'm here at a cafe blogging on my laptop, I feel so assimilated.

Anyhow, as I sit here listening to the oral arguments on cspan, I feel like posting Christmas pictures.

Merry Christmas everyone and a happy new year.  We're down here in West Palm, I just got a new laptop - hurray - so now, with my new laptop and camera, I have become completely insufferable.

 

(This is my fave pic of one of our beautiful nieces - so photogenic!)We've got a long drive back to Tallahassee, more to follow.

Christie

Well, we've got about 800 photos from the wedding, so I'll be posting them forever!  Here are some of the one's I've managed to upload - I realized that I don't have a lot of photos of my 'maids.  Anybody else got some?  Let me know.

THANK YOU to everyone who helped out, Shaunie B, Kristen, Melissa, Lauren, Amelia, Miss Heidi, Stephanie & Pearl, Dave, Kramer, Courtney, DARON especially... and everyone who came out.  It was just what we hoped it would be.

(Side note - if you like our photos, check out the photographer's website http://www.darondean.com)

So anyway, here they are.

that's it for now, more later.

For those of you who weren't there.

More photos later - we have some great ones of Aldo, also "chuck and leah". ;)

We're getting married in 15 days!

Tim makes fun of me for watching it, but I tell you guys - check it out sometime. I used to think my teenage years were sad (I was in love with the Backstreet Boys), until I watched this poor little girl fly all the way to Paris for a gown, only to stare blankly at an agitated shop girl while asking, "Who's Galliano? Don't you have anything Americanish - and pink?"

Now, Backstreet Boys aside, I can proudly say I have never been dumb enough to imitate Paris Hilton.  I also know that "Americanish" isn't actually a word, I would kill to be able to afford John Galliano, and l'arc de triomphe was made famous by Napoleon and not the Olsen twins.

What the hell is going on?  I am never having children.

I'm kind of in love with one of the singers from that band all the kids are listening to these days - Fall Out Boy. The one with the eye-liner, not the one with the Castro / Mr. Conducter from "Shining Time Station" hat.  I know it's not as cool as a crush on Trent Reznor, but what can I say? Those boys are just so cleaver. Feel free to tease me and call me 15.  

This is Christie by the way, not Tim. Wanted to clear that up.

Anyway, by popular demand, the following are photos (taken with our fab new wedding cam) from Christmas in Palm Beach, New Years at Leon Pub, and a video of Shaunie B on my front porch making fun of me and my sex drive - if I can figure out how to put it on the internet. 

I warned you, Shaunie B.

*Note to "Christie Also": you might actually see yourself on youtube if I can't figure another way to put up that video. ;p 

Oh and by the way, would you fu*kers RSVP already?!?  The mail folks lost half of our wedding invitations, so I don't know who got theirs and who didn't, I've got a list of over 200 people, most of whom I don't even know, and I can't remember who said they were doing what and when.  I know Tim may have told some of you that it was okay to just call and tell us, but Tim doesn't remember half of what you tell him most of the time, and thus cannot pass on the info. So if you folks would put it in writing for me I would really appreciate it.  Thanks to those of you who have already done so. ;)

By the way, does anybody know what a "podcast" is?

xoxo,
Bridezilla












Alex-n-Me, drinking champagne
(what kind of bar runs out of glasses? Leon Pub, that's who.)











I think this photo speaks for itself.

That's me in heaven.




I asked Tim to take a picture of Me & Heidi and this is what I got.




Our last Christmas an an un-married couple!



Patrick helps Heidi clean up the beer she spilled.  I don't know what Neighbor Dave is doing.



You know, I'm starting to get worried about this one.  Do you know he likes Hall & Oates?

Hey everyone, sorry for being such an ass and not responding to anyone for months.  Tim and I just got back from Palm Beach and I am in love with it and want to move there for ever and ever!  I haven't been on the my space in about three months, oops, so everyone who left comments and such I'm sorry.

The wedding planning is going at a feverish and frantic pace and I haven't had much time for anything, but I love all of you and you will get invitations soon.  Happy New year, merry late ass Christmas and Halloween.  Love and kisses,

Future Mrs. Jacques!
Wahoo!
