I gotta win the Lottery or find some Sponsors quick

Hey Blog World...



I know you all missed me as I kept making promises to return while life kept evolving and the world kept revolving ...I know you probably gave up on me and felt I just drop off the face of the Blog World.

I did disappear into thin air....

Well since than many things have changed...


#1.I moved from Colorado to California after finding love spending a year apart from each other (me and my favorite man in the whole world) we spent the year dating long distance counting down the days when I would move close to him *that traveling every two – three months gets tough and costly...

(Actually that is where we left off on...me in love and writing poems)

#2.So our love grew and kept growing and we decided to take it further, I mean since we made the plunge to move and moving in with each other is a plunge...it only makes sense for the next step...

So we decided to get married

As of right now we are engaged, a date has been set for the wedding *August 13th if money-wise situations and everything goes as planned and it is God willing* …as of now the planning has begun...

So therefore the blog has been resurrected to help me keep sanity in such expensive times...

(weddings cost a lot...even for the budget thrifty type like me, see I am fashion savvy so this proposes to be a big problem… as I want a beautiful day but at a good price….some women pay whatever for a beautiful day and don't mind dishing out big bucks to have someone make it pretty for them…I call them rich and lucky and even if I was rich and lucky I am still too cheap to dish out my dollars on a 8 hour event…some women can’t afford the beautiful day so they miss out on the beauty and settle for some cheap and cheesy looking day as they don’t lack the patience to tackle research and love and creativity for DIY projects...

These two type of brides are left at the mercy of overpriced wedding vendors….

Weddings vendor and venues use weddings as a time to squeeze happiness out of your day and make you end up drained as you plan to begin you life together, in the end you are left thinking why did it cost so much? I mean it is suppose to be a special day but vendors take the special out of it with outrageous prices for simple things like half-assed center pieces where they take a bunch of flower and plop them in a vase in the middle of the table and put stupid candles around them… (I have nothing against that but I am ugh ..partial..most people don't make it as pretty as it can be and they spend a lot to get medicore)

I seen a lot in my research of planning so far that is disappointng...like they shouldn’t be charging as much as they do for what they are offering…but I am not here to ruffle anybody’s business or called them out...truth be told sadly, I think these high demanding vendors are the reason why many divorces happen afterwards…that in the fact that some people just don’t belong together and spend way to much time planning the party and not the future)

But if you are a cheap broke bride like me....you work hard to make sure every penny counts for something... so I am also writing this to help other brides who might be lost at how to not go for broke or at least pretend like you made a effort, I am here to give hope to the thrifty bride who wants a pretty wedding but says “I can’t afford one” (as I say that a lot)… but I then take a breath become okay as I pull it together and then I go pull out some hair and keep on truckin to the next scary task I must conquer...

One thing I’ve learned so far which is ironic and quiet funny to me happen to be the fact that during weddings no one cares what the bride wants, they say they do but it is a lie… but when she pouts she is a bridezilla, they say it is your day but really most people are complaining about what you want for your day *sigh*.... your guest count, where it should be, what music, how it should look, what day it is on at what time.... and who should and shouldn’t be invited… according to their list of who is important in their life, not yours....(we will discuss these of course as we progress through planning)

I have a feeling that even though I don't want to be one...I will become the dreaded title of B to the Z to the Illa. *sigh*

Not by choice but see everyone has some little petty fault about them....mines is frugality...not to say I am a cheapo (wait I am a cheapo and I am proud to be one!!!)...

But still truth be told...I spend when it is worth it,...

Oh trust me...I know how to spend money...don't give me your wallet and give me the challenge to empty it as you will lose and end up broke in the end....only difference between me and "RS" type "reckless shop-a-holics", is the fact that I want to get as much bang for my buck as I can...especially in a recession...so me wanting a beautiful wedding worth every penny to some might seem silly or a waste of time and quite goofy and “poor-ish” acting, and me doing extra planning and research might seem ridiculous, but those who will be invited to attend and actually show up...I promise you will love every moment of it....beside…I have a vision of pretty perfection and any lover of Fancy things will agree…if you want Fancy you have to DIY as your vision isn’t others vision and they will always not make it as great as you know it can be.

I have a feeling I will spend blogs ranting about the cost of many outrageous things that I think are overrated but others might think are not, and there are other things and perks for a wedding that I might want to throw dollars at like I am at a strip club, while other people might label me silly for doing so...

I know the standard arguments in wedding planning will arise...like the "plus one" debate for single guest (not gonna tell you how I feel about that now but you might have some thought on where I stand if you know me well and in the future the blog about it will happen) ...the whole "children at the reception debate" (once again it will come up in a blog)... and many more will get me sharing lots of rants that involve sweet tantrums seduce with kicking and screaming on here as I bring out the true spirit of B to the Z to the Illa...(but not the kind you see on WE....those heifas are just crazy...mines will be valid rants of poutiness)...

But the good news is....me pouting on a blog gives others the chance to hear my cries and either agree or disagree in my comments and hey who knows...they might even get me to change my mind or see a problem from the other view...

It will also give those guest who are invited and choose to read a chance to bond even more with me…and it will give those people who are not invited but think they are guest a chance to understand why they were not if they choose to read and bond they will understand that those who were invited couldn't be because of issues other than we not liking them...as we love you all dearly who are our friends….as sometimes people take it personal when they can’t come to a wedding but not understanding that we would love to invite the world… but we haven’t won the lottery yet…so until further notice on the situation of if we do win the lottery changes…we have to pick and choose wisely our guest list…

So here we are 15 months to go before the big day and I am already in a panic attack mode...

Therefore I will keep progress of what I do in hopes of that whenever I freak out...I can come back to reading about my progress and realize...it ain't so bad... or I can come back to read about my progress and realize that it is bad and probably freak out even more...Yikes!!!

Let's hope we get the first of the two choices out of this experience.

One thing I must admit is...I've taken up playing the lottery often and I am looking for sponsors (one or many…either will do) for wedding cost...so if any of you sweet people feel like Mr. or Mrs. Money Bags and get into the spirit of being a super baller....don't forget about our special day as you toss "Munnies" out to "Hunnies" just because you can and got enough to "Make it Rain" on us "punk b!$#%es"


Peace and Love and thanks for joining me on this ride...lol
