Bridal Shower/Bachelorette Party

2009 November 9

I neglected my camera a bit this weekend but luckily some other gals picked up the slack. My camera is too big to lug around when I’m trying to have a “good time” (if you know what I mean), so some of these are from a disposable camera – my trustworthy back up. Enjoy.

The bridal shower…

100_2360I felt like Michelle Obama in my J. Crew ensemble, complete with pencil skirt.

My BFF Sara came to visit all the way from Long Island. She’s one of my six bridesmaids.

There was lots of gift opening…

I got so many amazing presents! I felt very loved. :)

IMG_6557There was wonderful food too, but unfortunately I didn’t get any pics! For shame!

Later that evening us girls got together for my bachelorette party. It wouldn’t have been a party without some phallic-inspired jewelry.

And provocative dancing….

Mostly all on my part….

Untitled-1Here we all are, out on the “town.” We were in my hometown which is quite small, but we made the most of the bar scene. We brought the party. My sister Emily is behind me, Sara’s below me, Joe’s sister-in-law Callie to the right of her, and the rest are Joe’s cousins. A family affair.

I also wanted to share Joe’s parents new kitten, Punkin. She’s one of the prettiest cats I’ve ever seen.

IMG_6579Here’s Joe’s Mom with her, she’s so tiny!

IMG_6594Oh kittens…. they get me every time.

And I’ll leave you with my lastest FOAM. I took a 3 day hiatus while I was away, but I’m back!

FOAM-12There’s some cool things happening in the FOAM Flickr Group. Check it out, and/or join if you feel so inclined! :)

Off to watch the Steelers, but I probably won’t make it too far…. still trying to catch up on the nice sleep deficit I created this weekend. It was well worth it! See you tomorrow. :)

Early FOAM, Late Night

I’m posting early today because from 5 pm onward I’ll be in a car for most of the evening. I’ll arrive in my hometown late tonight and will commence a weekend full of exciting pictures. I bet you can’t wait! :)

FOAM-10See you in New York!

I’m sorry… all I have is FOAM day 10. This afternoon I was busy getting my hair done and doing top secret things that I will tell you all about in due time.

Tomorrow night after work I’ll be driving to my hometown so I can do my hair trial for the wedding, attend my bridal shower, and my bachelorette party. Should be a good time, but a busy weekend! I’ll be sure to take lots of pictures so I have more than just FOAM to share. But for now…

FOAM-10

Someone suggested I create a Flickr group for FOAM, so I did! It’s by invitation only, though, so let me know if you’d like to join. Here’s the link:

Off to watch the Yanks!

Hey, a short post is better than no post, right?

All I have to share today is FOAM day 9…

FOAM-9

We’ve been living off of pot roast for the past 3 days which has been glorious.

Yesterday we ran a strong 4 miles and tonight I went to yoga class. Feelin’ good, feelin’ good.

I hope to have more to share tomorrow, see you then!

Just a Quickie

FOAM Day 8, taking a new approach:

FOAM-8That’s all for now… got some exciting news today but I won’t be able to tell you all for a month or so. Enjoy the suspense. ;)
