Unfortunately, as I mentioned would most likely be the case yesterday, because I helped my parents move all weekend I do not have a new blog to post for today.  I was really hoping to return home from my Cabo honeymoon with a few days to relax and regroup after the chaos that is planning a wedding, but, alas, that was not to be.  I do apologize, though, and will hopefully be back tomorrow with a whole new post. 

In the meantime, please enjoy [...]

     
Well, as you can see by the above photograph, I did it!  I am currently a married woman!  The Grim Cheaper and I finally tied the knot – after what amounted to close to ten years of dating! – this past Saturday evening in Malibu.  Yay!  And one of the Grim Cheaper’s very first duties as my husband was to recreate the famous photograph taken of Brad and Jen during their July 2000 nuptials.  Love it!    

We are heading to Cabo San Lucas for our honeymoon later this [...]

 
Last Sunday morning, after checking out of the spectacular San Francisco loft where my bachelorette party was held, my friend Nat and I headed over to the historic former Presidio Army Base to stalk the recently-opened Walt Disney Family Museum.  Knowing what a Disney freak I am, Nat figured that the museum would be right up my alley, which it, of course, was!  The Walt Disney Family Museum, which was founded by Walt’s heirs through the Walt Disney Family Foundation, first opened a little under [...]

I am sorry to say that I don’t have a new blog to post for today as I spent about 12 hours in the hospital yesterday with my dad (his surgery lasted far longer than expected) and didn’t have time to write one.    But the good news is that my dad is doing well and his doctor thinks that this surgery may do the trick!  Let’s hope so as we are really down to the wire with my wedding (15 more days!) and [...]

As I mentioned in Tuesday’s blog, this past weekend I headed up to Northern California to celebrate my final days of singlehood with a bachelorette party in San Francisco.  My friends Nat and Kylee planned the entire celebration and until I actually arrived at the party site, I had absolutely no idea of what the evening would entail.  As it turned out, they had put together a Sex and the City-themed soiree for me which was held at an amazingly chic New York-style loft in [...]

While this probably goes without saying, the location that I was most excited about stalking while vacationing in Seattle this past May was the very first Starbucks store at Pike Place Market.  As I’ve mentioned countless times in the past – and as anyone who knows me even slightly well can attest to – I am an absolute Starbucks fiend!  I visit my local branch at least twice a day and am on first name basis with all of the baristas who work there.  Heck, [...]

Last Thursday morning, my fiancé and I ventured out to the Beverly Hills Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s Office to obtain our marriage license.  Because the license application listed the address of the office as “9355 Burton Way, First Floor, Beverly Hills”, I assumed we would be going to some sort of government building.  So, imagine my surprise when we pulled up to the Beverly Hills Municipal Courthouse – the exact spot where Lindsay Lohan had been sentenced to 90 days in jail just two days prior!  As [...]

A few months back, while fellow stalker Owen and I were doing research on Michael J. Fox’s childhood home which I blogged about yesterday, I came across some information about a place called “the Michael J. Fox Theatre” which is located on the campus of Burnaby South Secondary School and, let me tell you, I just about passed out from excitement.  I absolutely could NOT WAIT to tell Owen about the location, as he just so happens to be MJF’s biggest fan.  Apparently, in November [...]

One year ago today the world said good-bye to a man who was arguably the greatest music legend who ever lived – the irreplaceable King of Pop, Michael Jackson.  In some ways, it feels as if more than a decade has passed since June 25th of last year when Michael passed way, yet in other ways it seems as if it all happened just yesterday.  When I reminded my fiancé of today’s significance, he said, “Are you going to be O.K.?”  And that right there [...]

Another Michael Buble location that I found thanks to the book Michael Buble: The Biography, by Juliet Peel was BaBalu Lounge, the Downtown Vancouver nightclub where the cutie crooner performed regularly for two years before becoming famous.  And, let me tell you, once I heard about it, I became pretty hell-bent on the idea of grabbing a drink at the very spot where MB had honed his craft all those years ago.  As I quickly found out, though, the BaBalu Lounge is sadly no longer.  [...]
