Dress Shopping

Saturday I went wedding dress shopping!! It was very quick and lots of fun. My mom, aunt (who is doing the planning/decorating), Kev's mom, and one of my best friends from high school went with me. Yes, I know... I took a small entourage. Oh well. 

The consultant asked if I'd been dreaming of this day since I was a little girl. I could honestly say that I have not. I remember a time in high school where I would look through bridal magazines and see what dress I wanted, but not since then. Instead I always dreamed about building a house!

I already knew what I wanted. Nothing sparkly and with ruffles on the bottom. I absolutely love all of Vera Wang's dresses!  I picked five dresses to try on. Three were my choice and the others were for my aunt. 

So I got the ones I wanted to try on and went to the dressing room. Lynn, the lady helping me, handed me a bra and a slip. The bra goes to my waist and the slip to my boobs and it's the kind I material that doesn't breathe.  Well I don't like feeling constrained and hot and that's what all that garb did. I got the dress on and walked out.  I started getting really hot and couldn't breathe. I was having a small panic attack. I couldn't wait to get that crap off of me. I told her I was fine without a bra. I didn't need anything to lift me up or fill in the dress. The slip was vetoed too. Things went smoothly after that. The third dress was the one. It's absolutely perfect and they even had it in my size, so I could take it home that day. Of course it's Vera Wang!!

Ballyseede Castle

   Tralle was a good stopping point from Dingle to Doolin. When looking for places to stay I came across the Ballyseede Castle Hotel. It was a little pricey, but since we had such great deals on all of the other B&Bs, I splurged. It's one of the best known Castle Hotels in Ireland, has a history dating back to the 1590’s and sits on 30 acres of native woodlands. The castle has 23 en-suite bedrooms and 3 beautiful private rooms complimented by enchanting formal gardens. To read about the history of the castle click here. We stayed in the Coghill room.   We had a nice view of the gardens. Here are other pictures from inside the castle. We had to have our picture made with the knights.   We Googled and found a restaurant in town that was supposed to be delicious. It was nestled on the shore overlooking the bay. We arrived about 5:30 and watched the sunset. The food was fabulous, however the service was not. ...

Inspired by Pinterest

I've been wanting to try these Chicken Lasagna Roll-ups I found on Pinterest. Since Kev's been working out of town, I figured it would be a great dish for this week. I could keep some and he could take the rest with him. (I also made Mexican Cornbread too.) Eating out every meal gets old. Anyways. Here is the original recipe. I changed it up some. I mixed together 15 oz. ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, egg, thawed frozen spinach (squeeze water out of it), and chicken (I always use a rotisserie chicken). Seasoned it with salt, pepper, garlic, and a little Italian seasoning. I never measure, just add a palmful until it tastes like I want it to.  Mixture I grabbed a handful of the mixture and spread it onto the noodle and rolled it up. Leave a little space at the end so the mixture doesn't gush out when you roll it up. Once all of them are made, I poured the  tomato sauce  I made yesterday over them. I added a little water to my sauce to thin it o...

Can't Wait to Finally Have a Garage!

This morning it was 28 degrees outside! I warmed my car up for 20 minutes and all the frost still wasn't off the windows. I can't wait til next winter when I will have a garage to park in. Not only for winter months but all months truly. In the fall I always get acorns and leaves stuck in my window. In the summer my car is always covered in bird poop and hot and in spring it's covered in pollen. Just one of the reasons I'm so excited about building a house. Having garage to park in!
