I Do

I quite frequently wonder if I'm missing the bridal gene. I'm not going to lie, I've never honestly been one of those girls who has their entire wedding planned out. I'd be perfectly happy with something extremely small, but exceptionally romantic (pending that I actually get married before my social security kicks in).


So, when my roommate suggested making a drinking game out of TLC's Say Yes to the Dress, I knew I was in good company.

Here's how it goes:

1 drink: when the gay guy lisps
1 drink: when the gay guy mentions his need for an applemartini
1 drink: when anyone stays something completely stereotypical
1 drink: when the mom loves the dress
2 drinks: when the bride cries after she puts a dress on



Ok, so that's all we've decided so far. But we're putting our pumpkin ale to good use.

And don't worry, it's only a 30-minute show.

Wine-scapes

Yesterday afternoon, co-worker LW and I began discussing our affinity for design and wine (two great gifts in life). As she shared with me some great ideas for touring Virginia wineries we also began discussing how much we love wine-themes when decorating. As she and her bf have just moved into their first condo, she's been sharing with me all of her decorating ideas, which are fabulous!

I absolutely fell in love with landscape designer Scott Cohen, who's work she introduced me to. Featured on HGTV in the past, Scott Cohen not only does landscape design, but he also builds fiberoptic outdoor bars and barbaques that are made out recycled wine bottles. You'll also have to visit his Web site, where LW worked on some videos for him during grad school!

Are these not gorgeous and super cool?
