toodles and noodles

been a little quiet recently because im down with the flu bug! :( boo.. on a regular day, im like a mexican jumping bean but when im ill, i curl up into the teeniest ball, i mope a little, sulk a bit and wear my pajamas all day and sleep. like for the whole day.

meanwhile, my ultimate wedding project is in FULL swing - my wedding invitations. my home has been a complete mayhem. even daniel, who is back in cambodia, is on the phone 24/7 updating me on "you know so-and-so aunt, her name is now BOONGONAWA. and please note that Jon is Jon not JOHN.. and .. and...". think the stock exchange 10 years ago with phones ringing off the hook and people climbing on chairs and yelling. my house is all of that. even my helper is a little obsessed with getting the corners PERFECT. im a little over it all, just want to curl under the table with the dogs and watch the world go by.

but this, my dears, keep me chugging along. this little thing called...


my embosser!!!!


it embosses napkins, envelopes, anything and everything!! im so so obsessed with it im marking my territory on every shred of paper lying around. reminds me of the day i found my dad's shredder in the office.. needless to say, my dad's not as impressed. both 10 years ago and now.

anyhow, hope you're enjoying a lovely raining sunday snuggled up like a bug!!
