Questionably Fabulous

I’m Leaving on a Jet Plane
Today is my last day at the winery where I work.  I am really sad to be going in some ways and I simply cannot wait to run outta here and yell FREEDOM (like Mel Gibson did in “Braveheart”) or sing “School’s Out for Summa”… 
Its easier for me to [...]

I am SO not technologically savvy so forgive me for not being able to figure out how to actually make this a link…  It’s an absolute miracle in itself that I even figured out how to create this and no joke, it took me 15 minutes to figure out how to even get this “link” – so please if you care, just copy [...]

This first dog is my new idol. Seriously. But the others are pretty rad too.

I suppose it is normal, these days, for grown children to attend the weddings of their parents…  Typically, though, it is a second or even third marriage for these parents. 
I have been fortunate enough, I think fortunate is the right word, to be at the FIRST wedding for BOTH of my fathers. 
Are they [...]

I’m still an East Coast Girl – its official…  
My friends are going to “SC” for the weekend to see family – I was a little surprised that they’d be making such a long trip for such a short time and I also didn’t know they had family in South Carolina…
Their plans have changed a [...]

My husband to be is always saying that phrase right before he says something pretty profound.  
Last night we were watching Paris Hilton’s My New BFF.  Ok. I was watching it and he was sitting on the couch with me and was making fun of it.  At one point there was a huge altercation – [...]

PLEASE NOTE: I did not write this myself.  I copied this from a forwarded email that did not indicate who the author was. I thought it was so good though, I wanted to share it with my readers    
“Dear Red States:
If you manage to steal this election too we’ve decided we’re leaving. We intend [...]

I had a woman come into where I work to measure our floor space – we are considering redoing the carpeting and instead of tile, putting in hard wood laminate.  
I could smell her a mile away…  I know that I am a lookist (racist makes judgements about people based on race, a lookist makes [...]

The other day I went to a seminar for writers on social networking.  A wonderful blogger turned author who is about to be published was speaking – www.mousewords.net in case you want to read her stuff.  She said that her newest favorite quote was one she found on the package of a Dove Bar of [...]

Don’t you hate it when you write a post and then the computer deletes it?  Or rather, you’re a dumb-ass and you forget to publish / save it?  
So anyway, this was from Wednesday 10/15 but now its Thursday 10/16 so I’m not sure which title for this post would be more appropriate…  Maybe I [...]

I’ve been so happy lately.  Not only has the season changed to fall which means that new smells are popping up all over the place but its been getting colder at night and I’ve weaseled my way under the covers with mom in the middle of the night – or at least in the morning [...]

… is not like the other, one of these things does not belong…
I went to a writers group in SLO last night – I was so terrified that apparently while introducing myself I was flapping my arms at my side – the leader of the group actually asked me, after I was done, if I [...]

My fiance and I had friends in from out of town last night.  Erin & Bryan went with us to a bar and at one point I excused myself to go to the bathroom.  And, as I’m pretty well known for, I got into a little confirmation in the bathroom line.
I am standing in line, finally get [...]

Something Blue in Santa Margarita (www.somethingblueandtrue.com) is a God Sent!  Jennifer is the owner and specializes in “before & afters” and customized apparel.  Mostly she does wedding dresses and typically takes an inherited or antique gown and creates up to date one of a kind pieces for brides.  Her portfolio is astounding.  
I have a very simple set [...]

Just wanted to give a little plug to the bridal salon that I purchased my wedding dress from.  It is in Virginia Beach, VA (www.pureenglishbridal.com) but I couldn’t help but talk about how fabulous it is.  
Helen is the owner and is from England – when she was searching for her own wedding dress she [...]

DING DONG THE DRESS IS BIG
THE WEDDING DRESS, THE WEDDING DRESS
DING DONG THE WEDDING DRESS IS BIG!
When I bought my wedding dress in early August it was tight.  The lady at the dress shop said that I needed to loose 5 pounds for it to fit perfectly.  I thought for sure this was doable.  
It [...]

If you haven’t read today’s Questionably Fabulous Man submission you really should take the time to do so.  He’s openly broadcasting his QUESTIONABLY fabulous side while managing to completely focus on the FABULOUS.  There is something simply wonderful about a person who sticks to their ideals.

By John Bach:
I’m going to volunteer with an organization called “Animal As Intermediaries” – they take animals and items from Nature into all sorts of interesting places like locked wards for severely disturbed kids and prisons and geriatric homes, etc.
Here is an abbreviated autobiographical sketch that I am sending to AAI in the hopes that [...]
