Trash the what, now?

A few weeks ago I came across this website.

Essentially, once the wedding is all said and done, instead of paying big bucks to store a dress they’re never gonna wear again, and taking up space in an already overflowing closet, women are doing photo shoots in odd locations, like a Louisiana swamp or the Pacific ocean, and essentially trashing their dresses for the sake of, well, a really awesome pile of pictures.

I ran a poll on the Rogers Yahoo! today module with a news feature about the site, asking if readers would trash their dresses for the sake of art or are they treasuring that dress always…  An overwhelming 70% said, no, no way, uh-uh to the dress trashing.

Me? I’m not sure if I’d do it. It’d have to be a location that was pretty meaningful to either me or to me and my groom… and it’d have to be a really awesome photographer. I wouldn’t want to go through all that hassle and ruin a dress I spent a huge amount of money on for crappy pictures.

What about you? Would you trash your dress? Why or why not?

Really.

But, between the life-changing event and the weekend job and the editing jobs, blogging, I fear, has fallen by the wayside. (As has my writing, which is driving me nuts because this story is just aching to be finished… argh).

So, for the next couple of months, expect posting to be sporadic at best. I will try to post semi-regularly (as in, please don’t stop sending questions for Ask the Grammar Geek ), but for the most part, um, I’m still here, just not here here.

And I’m sure my authors are happy to hear that their edits are taking precedence over my blogging. *grin*

Oh, but on a positive news front… I went to the dentist today and…no cavities! wooh!

I've become completely addicted…

to Facebook. Have you tried this?

I mean, my alter ego has a MySpace page, but I’m really not a big fan of the whole atmosphere over there, so I rarely spend any time hanging out on the site. The most I do is get random emails from strippers who want to be my friend. Um, no. but thanks!

But Facebook. Dude! I joined mostly because my sister invited me and I thought it’d be a cool way to keep in touch… then I started playing around. I found friends from college, from university, even from high school. I haven’t really looked from elementary school, but I’m sure I will… I even made T get a profile. T, who completely doesn’t go near the computer ever. (I know. I live online… if you ever wondered if opposites really do attract, heh, yes, yes we do.)

And I’ve been spending wayyyyy too much time over there, searching through people’s profiles, joining groups, exchanging emails with old friends. Which, while much fun and very cool, is probably not so good as life is about to get very interesting in my world.

I’ve made a bit of a life-changing decision (well, I’m 99% sure I’m going through with it anyway), that’s going to completely overwhelm my life for the next four months. (No, I’m not pregnant. ) So I’m trying to get ahead of my projects so that I won’t get completely stressed out with the amount of work I’m taking on… I shouldn’t. I mean, I spent the past six months working insane hours, and I lived through that, this should be a walk in the park, but still, sleep is good.

But if you haven’t found Facebook, you should totally try it… Be like Mikey. He likes it!
