Before and After: Blog Filler Flowers

Lately, when I write on this blog, I go for days at a time without posting again. This post is mostly for the sake of writing something down. I'm sorry. It's just how it goes. I'm glad every time I come up with something, anything, I consider blog worthy. Lately, things that are blog worthy are also more interesting in my real life than in my blog life. Basically, my blog used to be more interesting than my life because I have the ability, as a writer, to make things sound more interesting than they are when my life is not that interesting. However, when my life actually IS interesting, I don't have the motivation to make it sounds clever and bloggy because, um, I'd rather just be doing my life. Basically, I'd rather be hanging out with Brandon than sending out messages for the Internets.

For example, planning my wedding is probably a whole lot more interesting to me than to any of you, my readers. Now, I'm sure there are things that you might be interested in, but I doubt you care that I've chosen two shades of pink carnations for my wedding flowers.


And I like that I've made that decision, and I don't really give a tiny rat's ass if anyone else finds it remotely interesting or even approves of the decision because it's my wedding and it will be the most wonderful day and I doubt I can properly convey the excitement I feel about the wedding and marriage on a blog. Also, I don't care that Charlotte on "Sex and the City" called carnations filler flowers. Harumph.

Anyway, I keep blogging, but lately it seems the most interesting stuff I can conjure is pictures, bulleted lists of what I did over the weekend, and links to Web sites on stuff white people like. Am interesting, yes?

P.S. I got the above photo from Real Simple Weddings. Just saying, you know, so they don't sue me.

I am very interested in your wedding plans, but I am an engaged girly as well. I try not to go overboard with it on my blog, but I'm sure as the day approaches it will be hard not to.

You ain't boring me Katy bear. But I want to hear about your future planning adventures!

Love you. And carnations.

Katy said...

Kathleen, I say go overboard if you want to!

Erin, I love you, too! And, we're working on 'em.

Love the bouquet :). You are going to be a stunning bride.

Yes, but Carrie says that they are lovely. And they are. Especially when she knocks them off the coffee table and they scatter.

The bouquet is beautiful.

Well, pink carnation was really beautiful and that is one of my favorite flower. Anyway, thanks for sharing this post. I enjoyed reading it.
