Damn you Target and your awesome DVD sales! Last night Will and I went to Target because we needed chocolate and toilet paper (my life. It’s glamorous). Of course no trip to Target is a complete without at least one full lap of the store and that is how we discovered that Target had the first four seasons of House on sale. Target has shrink wrapped the seasons together in two-sets for $34.99, which makes each season about $17.50. How can you say no to House for $17.50? Will can’t and I’m a pushover when it comes to television on DVD so…yes. We brought home the first four seasons of House on DVD for about $70. That? is kind of awesome. It helps make up for the fact that I forgot to take How I Met Your Mother off of my Netflix Queue and two discs of it showed up today. Oops.
More of the yarn I ordered off of eBay (shut up, I know I have a problem) showed up yesterday afternoon. It arrived in a nice and pretty twisty skein and I’m used to winding yarn from the fatter, red-hearty kind of skeins and…yeah. It took me 1.5 seconds to turn that pretty twist of yarn into a giant knot of yarn that took many many hours to untangle. It took most of yesterday evening and most of this afternoon but dammit I untangled all five frickin’ hundred feet of that pretty yarn. And then maybe? Did a victory dance so flamboyant I scared the cat and now she won’t come out from under the bed.
Wedding planning is kicking into gear and every day I find a new reason to hyperventilate over how expensive everything is. Seriously! What the hell is wrong with you, you people I need to hire? And once again I feel the need to ask, where are these people who can afford to pay thousands of dollars on a cake? Who has that sort of disposable income and why are these people not my friends? Gah!
Also? Dear Wedding Dress Designers: not everyone wants a strapless dress. Some of us? Are built flatter than the walls of our apartment and have no way to hold up a strapless dress. And what’s more? Some of us? Like the idea of having short sleeves. Some of us have discovered that we are fighting matronly upper arms already. What’s up dress designers? Where are the sleeves? I don’t need or even want long sleeves! Short sleeves or even cap sleeves will be fine!
Finally, because I feel like I need a finally right here: I’m totally hungry but I’m not sure what time I’ll be starting dinner so I don’t want to get a snack because it’s pan fried steak and french fries night here at the Snarke homestead and, um, yummy!

Love that chocolate and TP were the only items on your shop list
Also, completely agree with the strapless wedding dress thing. A huge majority of people look crappy in strapless dresses. My boobs turn into lovely flattened pancakes and my arm fat shows. Very attractive. Bring back the straps!!

I have the opposite boobage issue and didn’t want a strapless because I had zero idea how to keep the girls in check! However, I got my dress on mega J Crew online clearance ($60!!!) and then paid my seamstress to add straps. She’s awesome and completely affordable (hemming, straps, and a beautiful blue silk sash for only $100). I’d be happy to share her name if you’re interested.
I got my cake from Beaverton Bakery. They are so yummy and not too expensive. I think it was $100 or so.
