Is anybody out there?

Is something wrong with my comments thing again or does nobody want to play the "Pay it Forward" game? I didn't get any comments yesterday about that post, which is weird. I thought for sure that some of you would want to play.
I apologize if it's because I've been a bad blogger and not so great with the comments. This is the world's worst week at work for me with board meetings and our big awards dinner on Friday night, so I'm sorry if I've offended anyone!

Thank You!!

To CTB over at Well Bless Your Heart and Amanda at The Sweet Live for giving me the Kreativ Blogger award!! You girls are just the sweetest! See my previous post about my 7 favorite things! Again, thank you!!!!

Pay it Forward!

I participated in Susan's "Pay It Forward". Monday I received my package in the mail and I was so excited!!

Here is a picture of the goodies from Susan!

She sent me a cute pink circles picture frame, a magnetic refrigerator picture frame, sticky notes, a framed one of her pictures (I loveeee that picture!!), and a pedicure set. And isn't that note she sent just the cutest??

Thanks so much, Susan!! It was so nice to have something to brighten a cold and rainy Monday!

So, now- the only rule to this game is that someone does something nice for you, so you must return the favor and "Pay it Forward"....therefore, the first 3 people to respond to this post will get a package of goodies from me sometime in the coming weeks. You won't know when you're going to get the package, but hopefully when you do it will brighten your day.

How fitting....

...that I would be asking a question about one of my favorite things- COTTON!

One of my friends has her 2nd wedding anniversary coming up, and she wants to go the traditional route and get something for her husband that is made of cotton. I told her I would ask all of my blogging friends for good ideas because y'all are always full of them!!

Ladies- if you've given your husband a 2nd anniversary gift made of cotton what have you given? Or, if you haven't, but can think of a great, meaningful gift that is made out of cotton, throw out those ideas as well.

Thanks!!

Rain, rain, go away...

A few things for this rainy Monday:

1. Thanks, Katie Lake (a Southern Girl in the City) for the Kreativ Blogger Award- my 2nd one in a week- I'm so honored that y'all like my blog!! See my post below for 7 things I love!

2. The wedding this weekend was fun- it didn't end up raining, which was so nice! It was a bit chilly when the wind blew. Boone Hall was really pretty and the Cotton Dock was a cool place for the reception. I didn't take any pictures, though- sorry!! Friday I made my first visit to Edisto Island and the surrounding area- that's where WEG is from. I loved it! It's so laid back and not at all commercialized. We had fun just visiting around, seeing all of WEG's old stomping grounds Friday afternoon and Saturday morning before heading to Charleston for the wedding.

3. Yesterday one of my friends had a seizure. Y'all have read about my friend Julie through my blog. Well, yesterday morning she woke up to her fiance having a seizure- this is the first time this has ever happened. She called the paramedics and he went to the hospital to have some tests done. The Cat Scan came back showing nothing wrong, and they couldn't pinpoint any specific thing that would have caused it. He goes to the neurologist this week to see if they can find anything. If you would just say a quick prayer for Nick, I'd appreciate it. I know it's scary not knowing what caused something like that, and the doctor has advised that he not drive or operate machinery for 6 months- which is even more of a bummer situation.

4. Here are a few pictures from my birthday dinner the other night- still missing the one with WEG, but these are of me and my girlfriends.

The Fab 4: Julie, Me, Holly, & Carolyn

Bess and Me

All the girls: Julie, Carolyn, Holly, Tara, Me, and Bess

Ah, Weather- why do you torture me??

Remember that wedding I posted about a while back that I was going to at Boone Hall this weekend? Yep, the post where you all gave me fabulous fashion advice on what to wear. Well, guess what the forecast is for Charleston tomorrow:
57 and RAINY!!
UGH! I had the cute sleeveless dress all picked out, got new shoes, and had a cardigan. I guess I should have tried that ensemble on prior to last night because the cardigan totally didn't work with the bow on the neck of the dress and I don't particularly like the shoes. And, 57 with rain is cold! So, I had to scrap the entire outfit. I am going to take the shoes back and just wear the dress and cardigan separate from each other for other events.

So now I'm wearing a dress with 3/4 sleeves and have a black pashmina. Oh, and closed toed pumps instead of sandals. Not terribly happy about this ensemble change but as WEG told me "Nobody is going to say, 'You've worn that dress before'"...point taken and I don't know but a small percentage of the guests anyway and they have never seen the dress. But still, I hate it when I have a cute outfit all planned out in my head and then it's not so great when I put it on.

In any case, I'll update y'all with wedding details and weekend recaps on Monday!
