How SHOULD you eat?

Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.

The new version of ROAD RAGE = DRESS RAGE.

The title of this email was lightly, quietly, simply: Your "Special" Order Has Arrived

How magical right?

The bride to be's email to the maid of honor in regards to it:

12 weeks my a$$!!!! That rotten ole hag told me it would take 12 weeks for it to come in. What the heck? It’s already here!!!!

The maid of honors internal response:

Giggle, Giggle, Giggle...

Gotta love my sister ;-)

Can you really forecast a "rainy day"?

Don't RECYCLE for a minute, make it a part of your daily life ~ And here's WHY:

Aluminum Recycling Facts:

A used aluminum can is recycled and back on the grocery shelf as a new can, in as little as 60 days. That's closed loop recycling at its finest!

Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours -- or the equivalent of a half a gallon of gasoline.

We use over 80,000,000,000 aluminum soda cans every year.

There is no limit to the amount of times an aluminum can be recycled.

Paper Recycling Facts:

To produce each week's Sunday newspapers, 500,000 trees must be cut down.

Recycling a single run of the Sunday New York Times would save 75,000 trees.

If every American recycled just one-tenth of their newspapers, we would save about 25,000,000 trees a year.

Plastic Recycling Facts:

Americans use 2,500,000 plastic bottles every hour! Most of them are thrown away!

Plastic bags and other plastic garbage thrown into the ocean kill as many as 1,000,000 sea creatures every year!

Americans throw away 25,000,000,000 Styrofoam coffee cups every year.

Glass Recycling Facts:

Every month, we throw out enough glass bottles and jars to fill up a giant skyscraper. All of these jars are recyclable!

A modern glass bottle would take 4000 years or more to decompose -- and even longer if it's in the landfill.

The energy saved from recycling one glass bottle can run a 100-watt light bulb for four hours. It also causes 20% less air pollution and 50% less water pollution than when a new bottle is made from raw materials.

Solid Waste and Landfills:

Every year, each American throws out about 1,200 pounds of organic garbage that can be composted.

Out of every $10 spent buying things, $1 (10%) goes for packaging that is thrown away. Packaging represents about 65% of household trash.

The U.S. is the #1 trash-producing country in the world at 1,609 pounds per person per year. This means that 5% of the world's people generate 40% of the world's waste.

Miscellaneous Recycling Facts:

A typical family consumes 182 gallons of soda, 29 gallons of juice, 104 gallons of milk, and 26 gallons of bottled water a year. That's a lot of containers -- make sure they're recycled!

A single quart of motor oil, if disposed of improperly, can contaminate up to 2,000,000 gallons of fresh water.

Rainforests are being cut down at the rate of 100 acres per minute!

On average, each one of us produces 4.4 pounds of solid waste each day. This adds up to almost a ton of trash per person, per year.

For my sister, for Saturday, from THE god of bridal couture: VERA WANG



The Traditionalist:


This bride looks beyond fashion to style. Everything she wears conveys a distinct message of confidence and an unyielding devotion to style. Style icons like Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Jacqueline Kennedy characterized a timeless beauty, poise and nonchalance that are still being emulated today.


The Modernist:

Her daring sense of style is always implied. Her frame of reference definitely represents an acquired taste, and one that arises from visualizing shapes in ever-changing contexts. Often rigorous or highly exaggerated, it also indicates a style of dress that requires thought.


The Individualist:

A desire for self-expression transcends all other considerations. This bride will go to any length to make a deliberate fashion statement. Unlike many brides who embrace convention, the Individualist prefers to follow her own dictates, whether that translates into the choice of an unusual color or a more unexpected silhouette.


The Romanticist:

Passion guides her beyond the world around her. She considers life an adventure and revels in the opportunity to realize her deepest emotions. The Romanticist is transported by a dress. For her, fantasy is always a reality. Her innate femininity and love of beauty can inspire a gown of enchantment.


The Minimalist:

For the confident bride who favors a spare aesthetic, a minimal wedding gown can be utter perfection. A Minimalist adores any version of clean, straightforward design with little or no excess. While her clothes may often appear deceivingly simple, they are frequently anything but. True minimalism requires a certain complexity of design and detail.
