A day of nothing.

My life has been a whirlwind the last few weeks.

In short...

My sister had her wedding ceremony in Mexico May 22.

I had a week of work without my boss immediately after (always tough shoes to fill).

My boss' brother and good family friend of mine got married June 5.

My sister had her wedding reception June 12.

I started school June 15 (4 Classes).

My brother graduated from his residencies June 18.

My nephew got baptized June 19, and I was the godmother.

I am exhausted. Yesterday I felt like I was running on empty...

So what did I do?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I can't tell you the ecstasy that accompanies laying around watching the World Cup,US Open, and crappy movies all day. Sometimes you just have to experience that for yourself.

Stella and Dot

In support of my boyfriend's friend's wife (who is also a dear friend of mine), I visited a Stella and Dot party last night...for those of you who are not familiar with the name, Stella and Dot is the Mary Kay of Jewelry.

Because my dearest Steven understands that I don't have any money to support his friends, he graciously gave me a budget so that I could be supportive.

I know...he's the best.

I told him these matched another ring I wanted. Clearly, subtlety is not my strength.

It's WEDDING SEASON!

What do you get when you mix true love, beautiful gowns, excessive flowers and copious amounts of alcohol?

That's right...it's wedding season!

Who doesn't love a good wedding!?

This weekend I attended the union of a great family friend and my boss' brother. Let me just say, it was beautiful. (The handsome couple is to the left...catcalling is permissible.)

The ceremony was excellent, the reception was perfect, and I was surrounded by the people I love the most: my amazing family and my awesome boyfriend, Steven.

If you are a poor graduate student who is mostly thrilled by the free food at weddings, what the only thing you have to worry about on magical nights like these? Of course...it's the wedding gift.

According to traditional wedding etiquette, you can wait up to a year before you send a wedding gift. I'd like to convince myself that after a year, you'd appreciate a wedding gift more...right?
