We are all adults here, and I don’t want to offend. But you have got to see this.

I’m happily surfing the internet when I found this.

Words escape me. It’s an iPod Bra. Okay…follow me now….how does that appear to others when she wants to turn down the volume or skip ahead to another song?

AND that gives new meaning to the idea of iPod Wedding Receptions. Go see the bride to pick your favorite tune!

Ok, so it’s a joke…and it’s pretty darn funny.

It’s 2008 folks. Let’s get this year started out right. This is an article I wrote that will be published next month (among others) for a local wedding magazine. Let’s get a preview, shall we?

Top 10 Signs you are a Wedding Addict

10. To the chagrin of your friends and family around you; your wedding is all that you can talk about. At dinner. At the gym. At your office. At Target. At your yearly check-up. In your sleep.

9. You download a count down clock that tells you the months, weeks, days, hours and minutes until your wedding. Because you are that cute.

8. You quickly have run out of space in your 2 inch wedding binder and now can fill at least five more.

7. You Tivo all the wedding cable shows and find yourself yelling at the brides at their ridiculous choice of wedding flower arrangements.

6. You have regular nightmares regarding your wedding. The DJ doesn’t show up, the prime rib you ordered comes out looking charred, and the cake is dumped on the floor because Aunt Martha’s eight unruly children running through the reception hall.

5. You’ve maxed out your bridesmaid’s email server because of the sheer volume of pictures and constant itinerary updates.

4. You find yourself rehearsing what you will say in the thank you card to your cheap relatives that always bring gifts from the Family Dollar General Store.

3. You regularly miss your exit to your house off the highway because you’re lost in thoughts about the details of your wedding.

2. If you could get a dollar for every time you’ve said “Because it’s my day” you realize you would probably be able to pay for a full hosted bar.

and the number one reason, that let’s you know you have a wedding addiction problem (drum roll)……

1. You’re so obsessed that you now speak in wedding short-text lingo. For instance; you tell your FOB that your MOB, MOG and FI need to meet to discuss the OOT guest list and your FSIL’s son who is the RB.

[Translation: You tell your Dad that your Mom, fiancé’s mom and fiancé need to meet to discuss the out of town guest list and your future sister in law’s son who is the ring bearer.]

I have been tagged. Like four times. I thought that MAYBE people might not notice that I haven’t written 7 random or/weird things about myself. Back in August I was tagged by Khris over at DIYbride. This time I was tagged by: Akendra, Terrica, and I think someone else…but I cannot find the post.

So here we go again:

1. I’d rather drink my calories than eat them. Honestly I don’t like eating that much at all, it’s a huge waste of time.
2. I dream “made for TV movies”. I can become someone else and play out intricate plots. One dream I remember looking in the mirror and my reflection was a black girl with corn rows.
3. It is my belief that women could easily rule the world; we just don’t have confidence in ourselves and from others.
4. I was incredibly shy until I was about 5 years old. I would talk only to my immediate family and glare at everyone else.
5. My older brother called me “cockroach” until I was about 16. It puts life into perspective.
6. Needles will be the death of me. I had natural child birth because I was afraid of needles.
7. Talking about the “end days” or the “end of the world” completely unnerves me. Like the new movie that is coming out with Will Smith during Christmas…..I’lll see it, but I will have nightmares for weeks.

The rules, are:

1. Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 random and/or weird things about yourself.
3. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.
4. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

*sigh* Scott is married.

I have a secret to tell you. I have always loved Scott Baio. He was right up there with Rick Springfield.

I’m not sure when the love affair began. He grew on me very slowly as Chachi Arcola (little cousin of the Fonz) on Happy Days. Who could not resist the red bandana tied around just one leg? By the time he had his TV wedding to Joanie…I was hooked. Remember this?

What a TV wedding! Then of course he moved on to Charles in Charge. What girl in her right mind would not sign up to have HIM be your nanny! Hello? I’d hire him now to watch Boy Wonder (my husband might protest).

Now we’ll get really personal. I even….(I can’t believe I’m going to admit this)…..bought his one of the two albums he ever made. The best song on that record was “What Was in That Kiss“? I can still sing the chorus. Maybe because I listened to that song falling asleep every night for months. Here’s the album cover (that I kissed often):

Don’t judge me.

Anyway, he’s gotten married to some chickie, Renee Sloan. May they have a life time of happiness…..blah, blah, blah. Whatever. He was MY first love.

Have you checked out Terrica’s blog at Once Upon Your Wedding on Fridays? If you haven’t, you are missing out on a good laugh.

She has outlined a New Rule Friday for brides. Now remember folks, if you can’t laugh at yourself then you are doomed. This series is meant to poke fun. And besides, we all know we have seen one couple break one of these rules. We sit at our guest tables and talk about them!

Last night I had the best opportunity! The wonderful Broadway musical, Hairspray came into our fair city.

I vaguely remember seeing the movie when Ricki Lake played plain-jane Tracy Turnblad. It was cute, but really didn’t hold my attention.

It’s been toooooo long since I saw a Broadway musical and I forgot how much fun they are! When I was a kid I had the opportunity of seeing My Fair Lady when Rex Harrison was still playing the lead. I can still remember that show, even though I was a little girl.

Anyway, Hairspray is absolutely adorable. It combined two of my favorite things: singing and dancing. Boy could they dance! My secret favorite was Tracy’s skinny girlfriend, Penny Pingleton. She got all the one-line zingers and laughs.

If you have the opportunity, it’s a must see! Welcome to Baltimore in 1962! Fave song: the closing song “You Can’t Stop the Beat”….

‘Cause you cant stop
The motion of the ocean
Or the sun in the sky
You can wonder if you wanna
But i never ask why

Makes me want to run out and buy a can of Aqua Net……….
