1. It's cold as balls here. R and I debate over which is worse, January or February. i trump when I argue that January is worse because you still have February yet to endure! And it won't even SNOW, dammit. I want a snow day.
2. Though I watch poshgirlvintage.com like a hawk, I think I am going to get my dress made after all. This weekend I am going to check out a huge local fabric store and see if I can't get some recommendations, and hopefully a referral or two for a dressmaker.
3. We've decided on a honeymoon destination: SE Asia! Oh my goodness, the more I read about Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia, the more excited I get. I'm giddy, seriously. I don't think two weeks will be nearly enough, but I guess we'll make it work. I GUESS.
4. Shrimp with white beans
saute garlic, sliced celery and raw shrimp in a little olive oil. splash on some white wine and season with salt and pepper, continue to cook and reduce the wine sauce. when the shrimp are just done, remove from heat and add a can of drained and rinsed cannellini beans. throw in some chopped fresh herbs like parsley, cilantro or dill -- or all three. squeeze half a lemon over, adjust seasoning. serve on a bed of arugula or other greens with a hunk of crusty bread. total time -- about 15 minutes.
5. P made it to Dallas. S bought a car. A has a boyfriend. C is laying low. 2008, y'all. So far, so good.
Bonus: I had lunch with Judy yesterday. We both agreed DC is lame. I love her!
what about bob?

omg se asia. i am wildly jealous!!! and i think getting the dress made is the best option.
i may be able to find a dressmaker recommendation for you.
siri hated cambodia. loved laos. go for three weeks!
i absolutely agree that having the dress made is the best. i'm so glad that's almost resolved. when i showed you that dress online the other day, i thought it was more along the lines of what you were looking for - i don't like that super snug style on me right now.
i am so excited about the destination decision! bad-ASS!!!!
