I came home to a younger looking Shaun! He looked so refreshed. I think the 4 days without screaming and giggling girls might have given him that rested look.
Out of spite, I let the girls invite a couple of loud girlfriends over and they giggled until 3 am. He’s looking haggard again and all is right in the world.
We are down to ONE week.
You all freaking out? I am. I got a letter in the mail. I am OFFICIALLY DIVORCED!
I’m also divorced, engaged and getting married all in ONE WEEK.
When I got home I had boxes from Amazon. Big Heavy had sent me some cooking dishes. You know what this means right? Yep, I need to learn how to cook!
I also came home to a nice ‘prayer shawl’ that I had admired on MrsDof’s website a long time ago. It’s blue. I am blessed. Thank you so very much!
My online bridal shower was so much fun. We have decided that we need to all get together and do that more often. If we can’t meet in person, we will at least get together in a chat room and talk about sex and other things that made Nilbo’s ears tingle.
Mom and sister were fantastic. I asked Kathy if I should get my eyebrows waxed and she said I just needed a few strays plucked. We laughed so hard as she plucked out my virgin eyebrow hairs. I had never in my life had a eyebrow wax or even had to pluck so this was an interesting experience. I would make it through 5 plucks before I would scream, “KELLY CLARKSON!”
My sister in law, Terrie is out of this world with a sewing machine. She fixed the girls dresses in the bust area. My girls are bustless and the dresses we go had some room in there that we needed removed. She made the flower girl baskets. WONDERFUL woman that I need to give a huge thank you card to!
Now all we need to do is go through the walk through and pick the music.
….and not faint before I make it to the alter.
ONE WEEK. Holy crap. ONE WEEK and I get to be Mrs. Kristine Baland.

I am so happy for you both, so very happy. I’m so sorry that my life is being turned so upside down right now and I had to change my plans. I hope you know that I am terribly regretful and hope that you don’t hate me too much.
I am with you in my heart and I will be seeing you soon. That, I am sure.
You’ve never plucked your eyebrows before? Never? Never ever?
Quick, while you’re technically single for a few days, let’s run off together. It’ll be our secret.
So, it did arrive even though I did not put extra insurance on it.
USPS are the good guys again.
You Are Welcome!
~~love and Huggs, Diane
I can’t imagine a month without a plucking and/or waxing, much less a lifetime. You must’ve been blessed with lovely brows and not the facial catepillars I have.
Congrats on the countdown!
1 week! That’s absolutely wonderful and exciting. I couldn’t be happier for you.
There are now pictures of the blue shawl over at my Dear Ones!
I wanted you to see it first before I talked about working on it.
Kristine’s Blue Shawl
YAY!!!!! :D
Wow..one week. That is so great Kristine. And if my boss, who’s an Esthetician, EVER heard you say PLUCK..
She would say this:
You pluck a chicken and TWEEZE the brows! :) I’ve been a plucker forever.
This week will go fast..enjoy.

Wowza! That’s a lot to do in just one week! :) I looked at the shawl, it is beautiful.
I’m just so happy for you both.
ONE WEEK??? How cool is that?!?!! :)
Shit. I have some online shopping to do.
One week! Congratulations!
We should have convinced you to do a web cast of the wedding so we could all watch you faint… I mean get hitched. ;)
I actually thought a webcast would be cool.
So excited for you both.

Let’s see….6 days…..
That’s like 8,640 minutes.
Oops….8,639…

and the beat goes on.
I’m having my dress rendered bustless too! Hurray for looking like a 13 year old! ;-)
one week!! That is so very exciting. After reading your blog for so long, this is like the culmination of such great things coming together. A webcast would be *so* cool.
Can’t even wait for the pics.
You forgot to mention the part where I took you to have your face peeled off. That was fun. Did it stop itching yet?
A) It wasn’t my ears that tingled.
2) You know that you’re getting married on the very same day as my daughter, right …? So … much as I hope you have the most wonderful day ever in your life, I’m afraid I’ll be distracted that day and not able to keep you in my thoughts. (smooch)
Face pulled off?
Fuck.
Have a great final week.
Hope your wedding is fantastic!
You guys are so cute. WAY cute. Cuteness unto you.
