greater expectations

I think I expect this from myself:

But seriously should be putting in the efforts elsewheres too.

Minor Updates:

We are still playing with the website, but the rest of the paper is in and the cranes are complete.

Contacted & initially booked the Unitarian Minister in NYC ... but now there are second thoughts, so uncheck that.

Dabbling more into Music.

Front runner for first dance: (Velvet Underground w Nico)

I'll be your mirror
Reflect what you are, in case you don't know
I'll be the wind, the rain and the sunset
The light on your door to show that you're home
When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you
I find it hard to believe you don't know
The beauty you are
But if you don't let me be your eyes
A hand to your darkness, so you won't be afraid
When you think the night has seen your mind
That inside you're twisted and unkind
Let me stand to show that you are blind
Please put down your hands
'Cause I see you
I'll be your mirror

falling together?

My sister was here this weekend. Things seem to be back to what in my family we consider normal. Instead of wedding stuff we worked on my halloween costume. Life doesn't seem to want to slow for wedding items & I am still obsessed with paper. Most of the paper for the invites is in but there are still some details I need to work on.

Today Lucy has her first experience with a dog walker & on saturday we are going in for an assessment at a doggie daycare. I got stupid nervous about all this for some reason.

Professionally things are sky rocketing. Toni Morrison for Feminist Conference in the Spring, Donna Edwards for my speaking event in November, an awards ceremony for legislative work tonight & the annual board fancy dinner next week. This is great but it doesn't leave much time for work.

On another note, I am fist shaking mad at SCOTUS. All the special interest money coming in for campaigns ... horrible attack ads ... its got me fired up and wishing I was helping out on election day. Corporations are not people! I was reminded today that some SCOTUS wives are as annoying as their partners, case & point: http://www.newyorker.com/online/blogs/newsdesk/2010/10/anita-hill-gets-a-call-from-ginni-thomas.html

I really don't think at this point we are doing save the dates, but I am happy about how our engagement pictures came out.

So I have seen quite a few handkerchief invites and thought they looked lovely. This one was also featured on design sponge and the graphics are delightful:

However since it is too late for that I thought about maybe we could make them for the programs … but then I thought longer and if people to use them to wipe their eyes that could be a little weird since peoples names would be on the program. And blowing your nose on the bridesmaids seems unwelcome.

However – what if we just had lighter fabric printed up with the crest? And had it wrapped on the outside of the program?

This could work.
