wedding chatter and porch pics!

frannie on porch
wow!  Im pooped out.  wedding preparations have kept me away from home a lot in the last two weeks. Though, Im not complaining in the least bit, there is nothing else Id rather be doing then spending time with my kids and helping get things ready for the big day.  However, I have to admit that coming home last night after setting up for the reception,  all I could think was, omg.. if my back and feet ache this much how must Vanessa (and Tony for that matter) must be feeling!  Poor girl is 8 months pregnant!  I am a wimp!  LOL!
I do have to say my it was nice to come into my cozy orange glowing halloween cottage!

I am still pooped this morning.  But Im hoping a few cups of tea and a HOT shower will revive me.  I have a ton of stuff to do today.  In fact I shouldnt be on here.  but I'm waiting for the ibuprofen to kick in so I can move a little better.. (the old back, hips and feet  are pretty freaken achey this morning!)  I need to be able to get things done today and dance tomorrow night!!!

So these are pics of our front porch.. tiny and basically falling off the house.. but cozy none the less! lol!  (my whole house is basically falling apart!  but whatever!

Its raining here this morning.. I wonder how long that will last?  I suppose I could check the weather report!   Ive got to get my nails done at 9:15 and I want to clean the bathroom and the bird cage before I do that.  I also need to clean out my car to make room for a ladder that I have to go pick up this morning.  I need to go to the post office, pick up Tiffany's dress, stop at work and pick up cookies that a friend is making.  I also have to go to the bank and pick up the ladder.   The cookies are for the little wine reception before the reception reception!  The wedding is at a winery and after the ceremony they are serving wine and hordeurves  (how the heck do you spell that!  spell check wants it to say hoarders! lol)   to hold people off til dinner which isnt for a couple hours after the wedding and is back in lyndonville at the golf course behind where we live.

Im very excited about the wedding.  Vanessas mom told me she was feeling very emotional this week.  Its going to hit me tomorrow when I see my son standing waiting for his bride to come down the isle. I will tuck some kleenex in the adorable little black purse my daughter bought me for my birthday!  Hey!  wanna see my outfit?  I'll go take a picture of it..!  be right back...

I uploaded pics for you.. but they are at the bottom of this post!   I hope it all looks good on me!  Actually the jacket doesnt match the dress.  I had to buy it separate..  I hope it looks ok together.. the dress looks black until you put black next to it.. they it looks more blue.  Oh well at this point it is what it is!

I guess I should really get busy.  I think the ibuprofen is kicking in a bit and I need to get moving!  I'll be back on sunday!

Oooh, I love the dress, Vivian! I'm sure you will look beautiful in it. Try not to overshadow the bride! : ) Your porch looks great. I like how you cat is trying to blend in as part of the décor.
