It’s Cinco de Mayo!

For those who think they know everything

Most people don’t know that back in 1912, Hellmann’s mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York.

This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico…. But as we know….the great ship did not make it to New York….The ship hit an iceberg and sank….and the cargo was forever lost…. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly awaiting its delivery….were disconsolate at the loss…. Their anguish was so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day…. The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th….and is known….of course….as Sinko de Mayo….

I Will Be So Beautiful!

The hair & make-up lady that cancelled on me on Sunday called me last night and left such a sweet message it almost had me in tears. She explained further why she felt that she had to cancel, and then went on to say that she has found an artist to assist her with the wedding – Mariel Short of Image, Style and Beauty. Mariel is normally a makeup artist for film and has done work on stars such as Goldie Hawn and Richard Gere. (How cool is that?!?) She asked for the opportunity to do the wedding, doing my hair trial for free even. So we have the trial booked for tomorrow night, and we will go from there!

I have a good feeling about this now – better than before (and obviously better than on Sunday!) and it is so cool that Mariel will be assisting. I kept telling Shanna that everything happens for a reason – and as she said today, if things had not happened as they did, she wouldn’t be brining Mariel in – someone that is renowned like phoenix skin and makeup schools one of the best makeup artists in the city!

(I did notice that creepy guy that lost on the last round of the Bachelorette is in her portfolio. *shiver* He truly bugs me. But we won’t focus on him. We’ll just pretend he’s not there.)

I’m giddy again! My bridezilla moment has passed!

Amuse Me

Burn, Baby, Burn…

Whoo hoo! Kymberlie has extended the sign-ups until May 10th for the Spring 2004 Edition of Burn It! I’ve signed up to swap my cover songs, have you? I can’t wait! This is my first Burn It!

Amuse Me

Ok, Fine.

Ok, fine. I realize by telling you guys not to multi-post, I’m just keeping you from posting.

You can multi-post. They just need to be unique comments. Not a bunch of “me again!” comments. I’m sick, and I need entertainement. If you don’t believe me, ask Mike, Kymberlie or Emily – they all heard me talk today, or rather *not* talk today. I shouldn’t be talking at all – I sound terrible!

It’s ok to comment freely throughout my blog, even if you don’t know me in real life or feel like we have never met or whatever. Because your comments really are how I will meet you – and in the end, it’s sort of the whole point of my blog. Well, that and a place to vent or ramble freely. But please feel free to speak up at any time!

So just so we’re clear – first one to 100 on my previous post wins a prize. Ready, set … GO!!!

It’s been really quiet around here lately – not many comments at all. I realize that it is in part to me not posting very often lately, but I’m working on changing that. Promise. (And they won’t all be bridezilla rants!)

I’m sick – yesterday, I could tell I was getting hoarse, today I have no voice at all. None. So I’m just sitting here, watching. I see all of you guys coming by as I look at my log files, but … that’s just numbers and data. I want to know WHO you are. Leave a comment. Talk back. Suggest things you want me to write about. Heck, if we pass the 100 comment mark on this post, there will even be a PRIZE in it for lucky #100! If we go higher than that, I might even give out more prizes! Sweet!

No multi-posting just to jack with the number – I’m looking for unique comments! Besides that, standard contest rules apply. Blah, blah, blah, must be eligible, etc. You know, the normal fine print.
