When New Years Day dawned, and hunger hit, I had to take into account several things: first of all, the grocery store was closed. Secondly, I have resolved to a) fit into a wedding dress in six weeks and b) maintain a healthier lifestyle in 2008. Lastly, I have a distinct distaste for eggs, but…
Pink Wedding Flowers, originally uploaded by whitneyenglish. When you subscribe to the theory, “too much is never enough”, it can be hard to decide on certain favorites.
