Once Upon A Dream

Currently, I am shifting through millions upon millions of photos for reception ideas. I think I've actually found the colors I'm going to use: Blush, Pewter, and Ivory.

I love this color combination, but I'm trying to stay away from it feeling stark, so the reception will most likely be held at dusk, just after midday, so that they glowy feel will reverbate throughout the room. Most likely the theme will be Offbeat Vintage..

It came to me today about how i want to go about the whole affair. The central idea will be Classic Hollywood, so what we'll do is name the table after one of our favorite old-time films, and decorate it accordingly. We have the King's Plaza in Johnson City for our Venue.. so this should turn out just right. We're hoping for June 30th, Lord Willing.

The room has an incredible look, but it mostly feels empty.. So we will be ordering our monogram on 12x4 mirrors to frame parts of the south and west walls.

Once all this is done, I'm hoping that we can pay attention more to the menu's than anything else. We haven't booked a caterer as of yet, and I'm getting a little frazzled. But that's all right. It'll add up eventually if i have to cook myself.

Catch my Eye

I had a love

but once I got it then I couldn't get enough

Sunday comes

and again I find out what I'm running from

Its you and those eyes

when you cross the room I want to run and hide

It's me loving you

and the hurt that comes when you pass me by

It's you wanting her

when you smile and make her laugh then catch my eye

It's the truth

Windows Open

Here it comes again

The slow breath that raises your chest

You smile just a little

And pull the sheets over your head

Bringing me down to your level

A place that I don't want to leave

The sun peeks under the curtain

And pulls back a flash of time

When we both were younger

Just something you whispered to me

Don't ever leave me

I promise that I will be yours

Forever- I will be the man you

See in your dreams

Just let me be your Prince Charming

So don't you leave me, my Prince Charming

You promised me that you never would

I stare out the window

The raindrops fall from the sky

I still feel you beside me

From the place you promised you never would go

Days Go By

Sleepless and wandering,

Scared to death

I find my way back to that place we first met

That place where you held my hand

Rocked me to sleep

We danced under stars

It was where we would dream

But now that you're gone

And I'm all alone

I can't help but wonder

Just where I would go

To leave behind everything that I've ever known

To take a deep breath and go out on my own

Days go by

But here I am

Taking that first step

That's all I have planned

Days go by

And here I stand

My hippie insticts leave me broken hearted. They're actually going to make me sit in a chair. Not even a cool round swivel chair, a brown homely one with tons of sentimental value. Oh the pain of not being able to stretch while i write out everything on this blasted keyboard. Its like my morning yoga routine, sitting here at the computer. Type, stretch, type, stretch...

The archaic halls of the institution they call a college are closed due to unavoidable weather inclements that stop it from operating. I'm on the third cup of java joe this morning, trying to finish my opinionated paper on the oppressionistic plays we have been reading. Love liberation, hate the plays.

The paint on the bathroom walls is almost dry. Its now a lovely shade of Midnight Blue. I'm going to start working on the four-point stars that are going to hang from the ceiling, which are to be painted gold and silver. I'm still working on my method for making the cloud swirls which are going to float up from the tub..and shower.. but it should be marvelous.

I asked Randy to be my Man of Honor. And Missy to be my Matron of Honor. And Olivia to be my Maid of Honor. And I have five Bridesmaids. My groom.. Is Amazing. But you're supposed to marry the most amazing man ever, right?

Theme One: Lemon cheesecake. Tiffany blue. Red roses. Pearl White. Turquoise. Red shoes. Converse.

Theme Two: Strawberry cheesecake. Nautical blue. Lime green. Cloud White. Black. Hot pink.

Theme Three: Marble Cake. White. Evergreen. Cream. Hunter green.

Decisions, decisions.. and still no answers. Love.

The tinkling of china, crystal, and glass is over. The balloons have popped, the dishes have been washed, and finally the head can hit the pillow.

I laid in my sisters extremely small bed last night, waiting for my very tiny cousin to close her eyes and drift off into an extremely deep sleep, and thought of all the other places I could have been to spend my first New Year's Eve as an adult. The invitations I had recieved were numerous, but all were declined due to the nagging of my conscience and the present state of my family's circumstances.

But the dark room was filled with a warm sense of love and lonliness only known to us that truly understand that selfish "unselfishness", meaning we pretend to be selfless to maintain our good standing in the society in which we live.

Consequently, the night ended uneventfully. No panty shanking, no drunken love stories, no horrendous fiascos that only happen when surrounded by the idiots I call friends, just peace. And a sense of self awareness that I wish I didn't have.

My heart still beats, my eyes still water, and my nose is still incredibly stuffy, but hey, I'm no worse for wear.
