It has been over a week since my last post. Eek! The new year took me by surprise and I am feeling overwhelmed. I didn’t post about Christmas, New Years or my wedding anniversary. Goodness! Where does the time go? Those posts will come in due time. However, today’s Wedding Dress Wednesday post is in the works, but will not debut until later today. Have a lovely Wednesday!

Cheers,

Alysia

A few weeks ago I put out my mail for the USPS to pick up. However, before Jason, my mail carrier to come and pick up my packages, two of the five were stolen. I was in disbelief. My dad works for the USPS and has since I was born. So I’ve been surrounded by the mail my whole life and this has never happened to me. And do you know what is the worst part? The packages that were stolen were the Breast Cancer Warrior Stamp Kits from Martha Stewart & Ford (see post: Giveway). Boo.

Despite all the bad news, Caitlin from Hill & Knowlton generously donated two more kits for the winners. Thank you for your kindness!!

Update :: Website (future) Changes

Alysia — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 18:42:35 +0000

This week has flown by. I’ve been working with several website designers to see if we make a good match. Now I think I found my designer, I am trying to figure out what I want to do with the site. With my fingers crossed, the blog should get a makeover before the start of the new year. How exciting! Along with the virtual face lift, give a commitment to provide fresh and inspiring posts on a regular basis.

In addition to this mid-week craziness, Halloween is here! With several invitations to parties around Portland, my husband and I (Clark Kent and Superman, respectively) will be out and about. What are you dressing up as? Or if you are not dressing up, what was your favorite childhood costume or memory? My favorite costume was Cleopatra (age with white and gold pointed-toe flats (adult shoes!). I would wear those shoes now. Sigh.

Until Monday, I hope you have a fantastic and safe Halloween. Cheers!

Wedding Dress Wednesday :: Break

Alysia — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 11:00:59 +0000

I am taking a much needed break. It has been hectic around the Cleys’ household, so I haven’t had much time to scour da internets to find a fabulous collection of gowns. I promise next week will come in strong and won’t disappoint. Have a lovely day! See you in a bit!

Happy September! September is one of my favorite months. Well, for one, it is my birth month. How can you not like birthdays?! It is also the month that Kevin and I first meet. Seven years ago, we decided to make it official. Thus, Septiembre holds a special place in my heart. In honor of September, I bought a domain. Yay! Clap. Whistle. Cheer! It is official, http://prosttothehost.com will direct you to the blog. I have more changes coming in the next few months, but patience is key. I know being patient sucks. But come back soon (wink, wink) ya’ll hear?! I will be featuring a fun giveaway in honor of my birthday and new domain. Now, back to your daily programming.

Update :: I am back

Alysia — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 00:46:56 +0000

I am back! Well, I’ve been back for almost a week. But I’ve been ignoring the fact that I have to face reality. That includes my absent Wedding Dress Wednesday Post. I couldn’t drag myself to the computer and work when it was gorgeously hot outside. So, please excuse my delinquent behavior and I promise to be more committed. But I’ve been working on a few posts, so there should be some new and exciting posts coming up. Weee! Have a great Sunday!

In the mean time, here is a picture of Kevin and me enjoying our fresh pineapple juice margaritas in Puerto Vallarta. Too bad we don’t have a time stamp on the picture to confirm it was 10:30 am. It doesn’t matter. I was on vacation!

Salud! A prost to you! Cheers!

I’ve been in Mexico for a few days and I hope I am loving every bit of it. (This post was created a few days before I left…so with my fingers-crossed..I hope I am having a great time). For your drinking pleasure, here are a few Mexican inspired drink recipes that will quench your thirst.
