2.    Become an English Professor.
3.    Finish Graduate School (Thesis..BLAH)

This is just a sneak preview and no my list is not very long and it’s very, very realistic. So what are a few of your New Years Resolutions?

Man-gagement Rings: Love It Or Hate It!

What’s this I hear about an engagement ring for men: a MAN-gagement ring! Yes, it sounds a bit funny when I hear or say it but I kind of like the concept. It is interesting that woman always have to have a visual that connects them to something. When women get pregnant we have a huge belly. When we get engaged, we get a ring. Whereas, men get off a bit easy, if I must say! So yes, I say put a man-ring on it; he’s yours for life right? Love It!

I Heart Letterpress Even More Now.......

One of my bee’s posted this great resource or tool for those ladies who would love to have letterpress wedding stationary but their pockets are not that fat. I guess we would call it a lifesaver but this letterpress starter kit is only (wait a minute, are you sitting down) $69.00. That’s a great steal! So if you are a DIY Diva or a Budget Honey, you may want to check this out!

Disclaimer: I support all types of businesses, especially the wedding stationary industry. However, I am aware that letterpress does not fit everyone's budget. So when I see a good deal I have to put it up, especially in this economy!

Life Isn't About Waiting....

This would make the perfect wedding gift/token to a newly wed couple. This message speaks volumes and can touch the lives of a newly wed couple--especially on the stormy days. I know that when I get married, I will definitely have this blown up or even reprinted and hang it up in a spare room or an office space! It's great motivation and inspiration.

Wedding Paparazzi

I love the wedding paparazzi and there are a few at every wedding--so I am sure you all can relate! Since I adore them, this post is dedicated to the wedding paparazzi! Enjoy

You were born together, and together you shall be for evermore....but let there be spaces in your togetherness. And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

YAY! I AM A SUGAR DOLL BLOGGER!!

Westside Bride  is the greatest and she rocks! Some may ask why is she the greatest? Well because I said so! LOL  No seriously, she is the greatest because she took the time to give me this:

Yes, that's right I, Chaotic Bliss whom world is nothing but Chaotic was awarded the Fabulous Sugar Doll award. If you can't tell, I am very, very excited and quite honored! So I guess I have to take the torch and tell a few quirky things about myself.

1. I'm a handbag addict! I own over 200 handbags; don't judge, they are ALL too hott to let go!
2. I can't go to bed without socks on! I like to be comfy!!! :)
3. I have to have a cup a coffee a day! It keeps me sane!
4. I found my husband now I just need to get the bling.
5. My current pet peeve is when people don't use there and their correctly in a sentence. (My Pet Peeves change daily)
6. I have to watch the news every night. As a former news producer I like to know what's going on in my community and most importantly I love to critique the news.
7. The office that I work in could easily pass for "The Office" the television show.
8. My favorite holiday is Christmas because I enjoy getting gifts! (Once again don't judge, I am being honest)
9. If I could, I would eat Thai food everyday of my life.
10. I love meeting new bloggers via cyberspace and making new blog friends! (SHOUT OUT TO WESTSIDE BRIDE )

So now I have the hard task of giving this award to 10 Fabulous Bloggers:

1. Run, Sleep, Eat and Rinse
2. A Future Mrs....Hopefully Someday Soon
3. My Carmel Wedding
4. More Lovin Than I Ever Had 
5. Always A Bridesmaid, Never A Bridezilla
6. A Chocolate Lover's Confession
7. Almost Her
