OMG You Guys!

That’s right --- I get to go channel my inner Elle Woods this weekend when I am in NYC. Lucky for me, the Broadway strike just ended and I can squeeze in this show while I am up there. I saw part of it on MTV, but it is going to be even better in person!

I am going up early tomorrow morning; I wish I was getting to go for a longer period of time, but I have meetings all day on Monday then head back to Big D late that night. I do get to see a an old friend from college and we are going to relive the ol’ college days.

7 inches...

… and more in some places! That is how much I just had cut off of my hair. I had had enough of the loooooong hair. It was heavy, had no movement, and took forever to dry. I finally went to my hair guy and had him chop it off! The longest layers needed to reach the top of my bra strap, but other than that…. I wanted some big, sexy hair! (Maybe not as big as just hair that moved...)

No telling how much I am now going to save in conditioner costs!

His place becomes OUR place

The lack of posts over the past week has been due to moving. After being married for a month, we decided it was about time to move ALLLLL of my stuff into his place. It is absolutely amazing how one can accumulate so much stuff in such a short period of time. I am a product whore, but not until I had to share the bathroom with someone else did I see the ridiculousness in having 10 bottles of half used hair serums, gels, creams, sprays, volumizers….. etc. All of those bottles are now in the trash! There is no need for me to have John Freida Sheer Blonde volumizer – I never have had and never will have blonde hair. I am going to begin trying to curb my addiction to hair products. All I end up using is the same thing everyday; therefore all of the excess is gone! It felt kind of nice to trash all of that stuff last night.

There is nothing like having the in-laws over to dinner to make you get your butt in gear to finish unpacking and decorating. (They are coming over tonight) I decided this was just the push we (I) needed. So, for the past couple nights we have been up until almost 1 unpacking, organizing and last night we put up the tree. After realizing that I suck at putting on the lights I decided that this tree is going to the dump after Christmas. No more messing with a tangled mess of lights for me. (I love the smell of real trees, but my allergies disagree with the smell of real trees)

Crate & Barrel has the cutest stockings and tree skirts… and now Mrs. Preppy and Mr. Accountant have the cutest stockings and tree skirts.

I have been collecting ornaments for years… but not just any ornaments. They are all round. Any material. Any size. Any color. But they all have the be round!

Wedding Pictures

I love how our pictures turned out! She was really able to capture all of the special moments...

Dear J.Crew

Dear J.Crew,

Since your cake was the inspiration for my cake, can I get a discount for life? Just wondering.

Sincerely, Mrs. Preppy

Blueprint Crafts

I was browsing through the new issue of Blueprint last night to find these really neat (and easy) craft projects.









I love this business card holder template, but I also think it would be really neat to hold photos. The site says it can be blown up, depending on what you are going to use it for. I am not sure if craft stores carry the leather and metal brad piece... I will report back on how these turn out.









This is also a neat calendar. I am not a fan of the big wall calendar for the office, but this one would look sleek on a desk without looking too over the top.

Run The Rock

I may be certifiably crazy for what I am about to embark on. Who in their right mind would willingly run 26.2 miles – for the fun of it? Mrs. Preppy is sure going to try.

I have read that you gain about 10 – 15 pounds your first marriage and I do not want to fall into that trap. Therefore, I am going to begin training for a marathon. I figured this is a great place to announce my plan and you all can help keep me on track.

I think I am going to start local, with the White Rock Marathon in Dallas. It is held every December, so I am thinking that should be good running weather. Wish me luck….. Right now my goal is going to beat Oprah’s marathon time. (She even beat Katie Holmes) I have a good feeling about this one.

If anyone has any tips, suggestions, words of advice, please pass them along. I have no idea what I am getting myself in, but I am jumping in with both feet!
