Last night in class, we got assigned our year-long consulting projects. This project is essentially our Master’s thesis - we get assigned a real-life organization with a real issue that we need to tackle in the next 8 months.
So. The project that I’m going to be immersed in until May?
Analyzing and making recommendations to address the financial issues with the dozens of Jewish...
WatchThanks, Meg!
And now I desperately want to add a few thousand bucks to our budget for a videographer. Anyone know a videographer who’s trying to build his/her portfolio and would be willing to do our wedding for CHEAP?
One can dream…

If you’re into wedding photography, this video is inspiring.

Bridal shows = surprisingly fun.
After Mark and I checked the TV yesterday and realized that although we live in New England, the Patriots game was not going to be on TV (stupid Giants and Jets playing at the same time!), we decided to stop by a bridal show being held at a banquet facility about five minutes away from our house.
We initially went only to be entered in the drawing for a free honeymoon, but when we got there and...
Craigslist personals...
This evening, I got a voicemail on my work Blackberry from a Long Island number, telling me he and his wife have been married for a long time and are looking to try some new things, he saw my ad and picture on Craigslist and I look good. He said he was nervous but hoped I would call him back.
As I listened to the message, I immediately got a sick feeling in my gut, then whipped out my computer to...
SCORE!
I just booked a wedding photographer for literally HALF of what other people are charging and his work is great!
Mark is in a meeting and I HAD to tell someone, so I’m telling the Tumblr-sphere.
Yesss!
This is what I have eaten today:
A very large frosted brownie
A bowl of Special K with skim milk
A bag of Skittles
2/3 sleeve of saltine crackers
A can of diet root beer
6 glasses of water
And this is what I am doing in 17 days:
Trying on wedding gowns
And THEREFORE, this shit eating is officially over. For good. I’m not going to restrict myself sweets altogether because I love my baked goods more than a normal...
“you r cute
I am mute
buy a flute
a new suit
go 2 beirut”
– An instant message from my old, grandfatherly coworker. This instant message is only one of many, many similar nonsensical messages that are sent to me via Skype, interrupting my work on a daily basis. Also the reason my patience is gone, usually by about 10am.
Another weekend...
…another entertainment award show that I have no clue about or interest in.
Ask me about rushing yards or NFL upsets, though, and I can rattle off a number of stats seeing as how I’ve spent all day watching football.
It just entertains me SO much more than the VMAs or the Emmys.
Is it bad to order $500 worth of shoes online with...
WatchScene: I have just pulled into the parking lot at home and called Mark to let him know to have the camera ready. Ralphie has just heard the beep of my car locking and is waiting for me to walk upstairs.
This is the welcome home I get every single night. And THIS is why I have a dog.
I have not looked at my 401(k) account in MONTHS.
So today I was pleasantly surprised to see I actually have 3 times as much as I thought I did and I’ve earned a cool 25% return on my investments since the beginning of the year.
And now I’m going to go knock on wood before the market crashes and I’m left with mere pennies.
I REALLY hate when someone interrupts you then...
YOU WOULDN’T HAVE TO APOLOGIZE IF YOU DIDN’T INTERRUPT.
I hate when old people/coworkers have no manners.
Is there a way on eBay to tell a seller "Just...
Last night I had a dream that Mark miraculously scored tickets to tonight’s Patriots season opener versus the Bills. In my dream, I didn’t join him because I had class (actually true in reality).
So imagine my surprise this morning, when my phone rings on the train and Mark is on the other end of the line, exclaiming “You’re not going to believe this, babe! My dad’s...
Once I get started on eBay, I can't stop.
I am currently bidding on 5 items and obsessively refreshing the page every couple minutes to see if someone else DARES outbid me.
I’m headed to Target shortly (Anna Sui collection came out today!) and you can bet that I will be checking eBay from my Blackberry at every red light.
I am now obsessed with wedding DIY projects.
What else can we DIY? Ideas, por favor?
