Cuteness Overload

Wow, new puppies are a HANDFUL. Our little guy is curious about everything, and we have to be ever vigilant to make sure he's not chewing on random items or jumping up and knocking things over. But he is one sweet, gentle boy alright, and very eager to learn and to please. We found out that San Francisco Animal Control was about to put him down, because they deemed him too "mouthy." Uh hello, ALL puppies are mouthy until they get some training. It just goes to show that the bias against pitties is staggering, even here in San Francisco where they're a very prevalent breed and we have so many great breed ambassadors. Hats off to Grateful Dogs Rescue, who stepped in just in time to save our pup!

The outfit is from last week. I'd been wanting to wear this top/cardigan combo again, but had struggled with how to make the outfit look different from the first time I paired them. The maxi skirt offered the perfect solution, though to be honest I think I still prefer the original outfit, and would probably wear it again verbatim. Hard to believe the original outfit is nearly 2 years old.

Limousines are considered as an important need for every wedding celebration. Luxury limousines do a great job in adding style, charm, and royal feeling in a wedding. That is the reason behind great craze of limousine rentals for wedding celebrations. In fact, a major portion of limo rentals customers come to book luxury and comfortable limousines for wedding celebrations only. Wedding celebrations contribute a major part of revenue for limo rentals service providers.

Why Limousines for A Wedding Celebration

A Wedding is one of the most important events of someone's life. People, who are getting married, want to make it most extravagant episode of their life. A limousine does the perfect job in this respect. The bride and groom both want to arrive at the wedding venue with style in a luxury limousine. Nowadays it has almost become a tradition. Limousines are also used to drive guests from their hotels to the wedding venue and back to the hotel after wedding is over.

What Type of Limousines Are Ideal For Weddings

There are different variants of limousines. Not all are suitable for wedding purposes. There are specific requirements, and to serve these special requirements, limo rental services providers keep specialized vehicles in their fleet. To bring bride and groom to the wedding venue, The Chrysler 300C Limousine is popular. Its classic look combined with modern elements of design and technology makes this car very safe, attractive, and ideal for wedding ceremonies.

However, to ferry your guests from their hotel to wedding venue you need a comparatively bigger limousine that can accommodate more people. SUV Stretch limo or H2 Hummer Stretch limo will be ideal for this purpose. Both are stylish, secure, and will reflect your prosperity in front of your guests in best manners. If you have planned to go to some other location for wedding party then limo buses will also serve your requirement of ferrying guests to party location.

Booking Limousines for Your Wedding Celebration

It is advisable to book a limousine for your wedding purposes in advance. Idea of booking a limousine last minute is not a good idea. You may not get your preferred vehicle at last moment. On advance booking of limousines, you can get some attractive offers. Therefore, make your decisions properly in advance to get the most out of it, and experience the magic created by presence of limousines in your wedding celebrations.

The Puppy Has Landed

Well, it's official: we have a puppy! Puppy doesn't yet have a name, but that shouldn't stop you from admiring his cuteness. The shelter was calling him Chumley, but we figure he's going to end up being quite large and regal-looking, so we're trying to think of a name that will suit him when he gets older.

Right now we're fostering him to make sure it works out with Georgie, and in a month or so we'll finalize the adoption. He's a very sweet boy; a handful to be sure, but a quick learner and a big goofball. We think he's pit mixed with boxer, or maybe lab.

Since last night was his first night with us and we therefore didn't sleep much, that's about all I've got for you today. Regular programming will resume tomorrow....

Suitably Fun

I wore this outfit on a day that I was going directly from work to meet a friend for drinks. Thus it needed to be comfortable enough to wear all day, and warm enough for the chilly evening without requiring me to haul around an additional jacket; it also needed to be suitably fun for an evening out. I thought the pirate flair of this outfit accomplished the fun element, while the stretchy layers and flat boots gave me the warmth and comfort I needed.

These ponte knit pants are incredibly comfnrtable, and have in fact become a staple for evenings out. They have the sleek, fitted look of leggings, but are thick and opaque enough to wear as pants. Plus, the stretchy waistband is comfortable after several hours of sitting down -- and even after several beers.

Ho-Hum

This was one of my ho-hum outfits from when I was still sick (I'm feeling better now). I've noticed that when I'm sick I tend to wear pants more often, probably because it's less work than dealing with tights and slips and all that. If we lived somewhere hot I'm sure it would be just the opposite; throw on a sundress and some sandals, and you're good to go. Out here it's almost never warm enough for that, so pants are the easier option because there are no additional leg coverings that need to be selected.

At any rate it provided the impetus to wear these cords again, which as you may recall are down to their last few wears. A careful examination of the nap proved them to be still wearable for probably a few more times yet. Next time I hope it's actual inspiration, and not illness, that brings them out again.

The Wedding Reception is Your Beautiful Backdrop for Your Memories

The considerate bride and groom often keep the wedding and the reception at the same location. They want to celebrate with friends and family and not spend their time driving around in a car from place to place. The guest prefer not to also.

By: Aloysius Aucoin

The Wedding Reception will depend on the theme of your wedding. Some couples are only interested in having the usual traditional wedding at a church with a small gathering of friends and family right after the ceremony. Other couples like to follow the customs of their own nationality and even though the activities may appear strange to those attending, it feels normal and comforting to the family involved in the rituals. Couples are free to discover a theme that is significant to each of them.

There has been a strong interest in outside wedding receptions in the past few years. Some like the calming feel of the water, others keep in mind the driving time and make arrangements for a ceremony at a nearby park gazebo or a sanctuary. Other great ideas are local historical sites or even an art gallery. If you have the ceremony outside, the reception can be outside as well. You will be able to invite everyone you like if it is outdoors.

If you prefer to have the wedding reception inside, you can narrow down your options by considering your guest list first. If you do not want to compromise on the guest list, you may need to settle on a less high end reception. If the number of people you both want to invite is rather small, then it will not matter so much, so pick what you really want. The day should be a medley of all the things the bride and the groom like. One way to provide each guest with a keepsake is to have items personalized with the wedding date and the name of the bride and groom.

If you are both paying for the wedding reception, do not forget to budget in a nice honeymoon. Consider it part of the wedding experience and chose a destination that you both will enjoy. Recently, some one came up with the clever idea of getting married and the honey moon in the same location. People seem to really like this because you can exchange your vows and and then enjoy the remainder of the time as an extended reception with your family and friends. Who doesn't like a longer party!

The theme of your wedding will also extend to the food you want to serve at the wedding reception. If it is going to be outside or near the water, easy to eat finger foods will be a smart choice. A series of cupcakes arranged to look like a wedding cake will be less messy and easier on the budget. You may decide to be married at sunrise on the beach and want to serve a breakfast buffet.
