when i feel sad i look at these: part one (pre-ceremony, mostly)


My niece, Carley, is an angel.




the dress.


I wish I could afford her every single day.




My toenails match my shoes.

loving the way i look...

Pre-ceremony fuel, with a straw, so not to muss my lipstick...

My pimp daddy. (That came out wrong. I meant, my dad looking pimp.)

'bout to get married on a rooftop overlooking the Ohio River...

My dad made the arch... how bad ass is that?

I mean, seriously... my dad is the ultimate craftsman.

I couldn't resist posting a photo of the bride and groom.

Mr. and Mrs. Amber Leigh Tidd Murphy

We look cooler than shit, son.

Since it's almost Halloween now, I give you: ghost bride.


I guess I should credit my photographer, Jackie Johnson, @ http://www.jaclynjohnsonphotography.com/ even thought she was a heinous bitch whore on my big day.

Your purple shoes are ace. Usually brides go with red if they do something different. First pair of purple I've seen.

Thanks to everyone for the compliments. I am a little bit in love with my wedding day. I think I'll be posting more pictures on Friday, so stay tuned!

Meg, you were asking what we did with the arch - it's now in our back yard near our rose bush!

I love these photos. But what I love even MORE? That you wore purple shoes!!! They are gorgeous. (They are purple, right? That's the color they look on my screen anyway...)

Gorgeous shoe. Gorgeous color. And I love the pic of you jumping out of them. Fantastic idea.

love at first sight blogfest, or, go eat a heart-shaped cookie

Courtney Reese is hosting a love at first sight blogfest, in which writer's write about the icky love stuff. Check it out -- there are already a ton of entries over there. Okay, so my scene isn't really love at first sight for my mc, Laurel (in fact, she doesn't even want it to be) but this is the first time she interacts with her second love interest, David.  Read! Enjoy! Critique!      A sea of southerners filled the lobby of the movie theater. David Winter stood at a neon orange podium in the center of the throng, his head throbbing. He tore off one ticket stub after another, pointed the masses in the appropriate direction. The work was monotonous. Most of the patrons were lost in conversations with one another, and they paid David the same lack of attention that he showed them. He tried not to grimace at the giggling teenage girls, the smug looking guys in gold chains, the overweight middle aged couples: all annoyed him equa...

possessive

I watched Hoarders last night. During the first commercial break, I dared to look around my living room and I thought, oh holy mother of four-letter-word. Color me cluttered. Yes, it's true that most of my mess is hidden and collecting dust in the dark, but I know what's there -- like the 100+ VHS tapes in my bookshelf/ media cabinet, for instance. Yes, I love knowing that should I desire to watch my old school copy of Riding in Cars with Boys or Girls Just Wanna Have Fun or The Royal Tenembaums or Serendipity or Ghost World or Memento or... okay. You get the picture. It's there. If I wanted it, it would be right there. Also semi-hidden? Probaby 50+ copies of this weekly magazine from the late 1960's - early 1970's called Story of Life. My grandma gave them to me. Have I cracked the cover of even one issue? Hell to the no. I don't have time for that type of nostalgia. Plus, I can't even find a link for it with a quick google search. Something tha...
