I'm back. I haven't been blogging because I have nary a thing to write. Seeing that there is nothing to recap, I will dive right in. Oh wait! Yes, I do have something to share. I picked out my shoes for the wedding (see below). They are the Augusta peep toes in faded aqua, from J. Crew. They are exquisite and I have been traipsing through the house in them. Undoubtedly, if I were swimming in money, I would splurge on quality shoes. Alas, I am not.
I am torn as to what to wear for the rehearsal dinner. I have a classic black Givenchy dress (one of my purchases at the Rack in Scottsdale), but I am afraid that the color and fabric are wrong for Cuernavaca, Mexico, at the end of May.
Okay, I have to confess: I am slightly hurt that no one on my father's side of the family will be attending my nuptials. Many who said they were coming have been scared off by the reports of violence in Mexico. Yet my family assures me that everything is fine in Mexico City and Cuernavaca. The fighting is contained to the border region, which is thousands of miles away. While I didn't want a huge wedding, I did think some of the people on my dad's side would come. Alas, it will be a small and intimate wedding.
Beyond that, I have a poster presentation to prepare in two weeks. My advisor specifically said that he would like to see results. Essentially, Mama has a lot of work to do.
