Weekend Scenes

It is sad sitting down to do a weekend scenes post when you are suddenly very sick and coughing like crazy. Thank goodness for this kitty in my lap. Cats that sit in your lap are the best. It's like they know when you need a pal. Growing up we always had 2-3 cats and none of them were lap cats! Or a couple of them just preferred my brother and dad. I would stick em on my back, in bassinets, they would always hop away. Pete=the cat I always wanted. OK, side tracked a bit. Here's the weekend:

Enjoying my cute new watch, care of RumbaTime. Now I want more colors!

Creating new bathroom vignettes. Behold the best candle ever.
I have a feeling a lot of you have already made this discovery. 
If not, include it in your future purchases.

Bloody mary + darts. 
I find I get bored at bars unless there is some sort of activity {besides drinking}.

Wearing my mom's wedding dress! She made this herself in 1972, so I naturally 
had to use the 70's filter on Flickr to edit it. Crazy enough, I don't remember ever 
seeing it or trying it on all these years. It fit really well. How sweet and simple is it? 
The plan is to alter it above the knee for my rehearsal. 
This is all with her blessing, I think the words were
"Do whatever you want! It is just going to end up thrown away one day". 
It also comes complete with a champagne stain, which I love.

Neither of my cats like to sit on laps either!! Luckily, the LOVE me, and they sit right next to me, so I can still pet them! :)

Such an amazing thing to have as part of your wedding events! I love that it comes with a champagne stain... Sort of the way it should be, don't you think? :-)

I don't understand why not all cats love to cuddle! Your mom's dress is so fab. Can't wait to see it altered!

Oh so much to comment on:
1. My cat is in the dog house. He won't stop peeing in my house. On the furniture. I'm at my wits end! Be thankful for Pete!
2. Name of the candle please... I need a good one!
3. LOVE that you posted the pic of your moms dress and love even more than you're incorporating it into you day. Can't wait to see what it looks like!!
