shoes for a picky bridesmaid

Georgina Goodman, Ripley

Georgina Goodman, Cynthia

i still haven't found **the perfect shoes** for the wedding i'll be in at the end of this month. yikes! the truth is, there are some good options in a dark grey-silver tone that'll match the dress perfectly, the problem is my pickiness. i won't bore you with how long it can take me to make things look just so, but i did find some likely contenders at the Georgina Goodman site.

happy bday Melinda!

the bday girl

nice roman candle!

so after a looong week, we got together to celebrate the birth of one of my besties, Melinda. i SWEAR we did not tell the restaurant to make a special phallic-looking dessert for her. but it sure made for some terrific laughs.

it should be this easy

loving jeffrey monteiro!
