Unfortunately, my perfect weekend is coming to an end. SPH's wedding was positively fabulous. She looked gorgeous and the friends, food, and atmosphere were a dream.

THE dress!
How gorgeous are the shoes?!
My sister and I looked so glamorous I hardly recognized us in the mirror.
#2 - Hybrids are pretty fantastic. I drive a Honda hybrid and it's the best. I never have to get gas and I have a special parking space at school. My sedan is very roomy and practical. Unlike my mother and sister who drive gas guzzling p.o.s. SUVs (just kidding, Mom!), I can fit my car comfortably in most parallel parking spaces and I'm helping the Earth.
I read an article in Garden & Gun about a very green farm in Goochland (just west of Richmond). They decided to go green almost 30 years ago! Pretty cool. Check it out here.
I found an interesting mash-up album from Minty Fresh Beats. It's a combination of Jay-Z and Radiohead and it's pretty awesome. For more info, click here.
As y'all know, I took Elle to the rivah with me this weekend for her first swimming experience. Though she was extremely hesitant and scared at first, my little Elle dog finally became a river rat!
YourFonts.com is a great site where you can create a font from your own handwriting! I'm in the process of creating my own as we speak. Once it's up and running, I'll update this post with an example.
I found a hilariously useful website called RunPee.com. I hate getting up to go to the bathroom during a movie. This website lets you know when you should get up and go! For example, I looked up the new film Ghost of Girlfriends Past on the site. I should take a break approximately thirty minutes into the movie when Matthew M. says "alll riighhht..." for the 10th time. I have five minutes to roam around before something interesting happens. Quite useful, don't you think?
On Saturday, I will be walking down the aisle in my best friend's wedding! We are wearing twobirds bridesmaid dresses. twobirds is a company that makes one fabulous dress with over ten ways to wear it. We are wearing windsor navy. With the dark color and tons of way to wear the dress, I am hopeful I can wear it again and again! Here are some examples:
I'm a big fan of needlepoint. I enjoy making belts and pillows in my free time. For those less crafty, there are several places to buy finished belts, dog collars, key fobs, and pillows. Smathers & Branson has a great collection. Here are a few of my favorites:
I recently discovered a great new company called Tucker Blair. I love their flip flops and headbands. Take a look at these:
