Bridesmaids

i have been trying to decide what colors i want my bridesmaid's dresses to be. i recently saw the movie 'wedding crashers' and absolutely fell in love with the bridesmaid's dresses in this movie. i love the scarlet colored ones at the end, but this is the one i am speaking of :

i am also incorporating this color into my dress now. so it will be the green from below and this sand/nude color in the sash. i think it will be stunning.

so here's the thing. i haven't actually been to any bridal shops locally yet, but i would like the dress to be under $100 for my bridesmaids. since i am a bit granola and my dress is very eco-friendly, i would also love the bridesmaid's dresses to be as well...but if not, i can let it slide.

any ideas out there? and any links that you find, please feel free to let me know.

It's All About The Dress, Right?

so some of you out there might know how much of a non girlie-girl i am and i'm pretty simple as far as fashion/design goes. but i knew when and if i was ever getting married, i was going to have a very lovely, talented sweet mama make my dress for me. i will post who it is once i get the dress, so you'll just have to be in suspense until then. i did want to post the direction it is going in.

the above photo is the basis of the dress. it will be made from hemp silk charmeuse. (no you can not smoke my dress after the wedding, so don't even ask - i've already had plenty of requests to do so :p)
the above photo will show the color green sash that will be under the bodice of the dress. it will be this color green and my seamstress will also be incorporating another green (in place of the brown shown in the photo).
and lastly, the above photo is the rough sketch of my dress. originally we were going to go with the brown in the sash like the photo above this, but i have changed my mind and now we are incorporating 2 shades of green. obviously the colors in the sketch aren't true to actual color.

i'm so excited about my dress i can hardly see straight. anything else about the plans could fall into place by themselves for all i care. i can't wait to wear this gorgeous piece of art. :)

Is This Thing On?

howdy cyber blog world. i've been MIA for quite some time, but just had the urge to pop in and say hello.


a lot has happened since my last post.


the biggest news is i am blissfully engaged to my amazing fiance since november 7, 2010. our wedding date is set at march 26, 2011, but this is about as far as we've gotten. i am having my dress made and the lovely mama that will be stitchin it up is starting on it tomorrow :) i'm so excited. it's going to be stunning!





i am still getting used to the fact that i am engaged or hearing myself being called "fiance" or "soon to be wife", however, it didn't take long for me to get used to my ring being on my finger. i am not one that wears any jewelry with the exception of necklaces. i never have worn rings before. but i stare at it all the time. it's perfect, simple and beautiful. whenever it is off of my finger (washing dishes, washing hands, shower), i feel completely naked.


life is good!


i went through a horrible quick relationship that ended in june that i would rather not rehash. my fiance and i have been together off and on for 6 years. he came back into my life at the beginning of july and it was finally meant to be. our relationship is stronger than ever and our love for each other only grows daily. i am incredibly blessed and a very lucky woman.


and I'M GETTIN MARRIED!!!! :) :) :) :) :)


the ladybug is doing well. she's in the 6th grade (my eyes still bug out when i say or read that), learning to play the violin and making great grades. she's really excited about our engagement and the union of both of our families, which she will be getting 3 more siblings - 2 brothers and a sister. she's such a joy and such an amazing little person.


other than that, i lost a bunch of weight. 35 lbs to be exact. however, over the last 2 months, i gained 10 of it back. :\ so i'm back on my diet now and i've lost 6 of those 10 lbs already, but ultimately i'm headed for 20 more to be at my goal weight. then it will all be about maintaining.


i've also begun a life-program that is amazing. it's a process and something i will be including in my life for the remainder of my days, but i feel very positive about it. it's something that my fiance and i do together and it will be a major staple and strength in our long life together.


christmas is coming up entirely too quickly. this is my favorite time of year, but it comes and goes in the speed of light. AND i haven't gotten any christmas shopping done, so guess what we will be doing this weekend? joy. i wish i could just make everyone something, but obviously ran out of time to be able to do that too. gotta love procrastination.


work has been insanely busy and part of the reason why i haven't been posting on here at all as well.


so that's about it for now. i will try not to be such a stranger. i miss blogging. it's always a good form of therapy. ;)


hope my 2 faithful readers out there are doing wonderfully and enjoying life to the fullest.


~ much love ~

The Joys of MortgageLand

yes, these 2 stories REALLY happened. and today actually :

1. i underwrote a loan where the borrower has had 2 jobs in the last 2 years and his most current job, he was laid off and on unemployment for a couple of months THIS year. so i asked that the employer state the dates of unemployment on the verification of employment and MUST state that it was not likely to happen again.

broker responds with an email stating that the borrower is upset about this and why would we need this, etc.

i respond back with "unfortunately I need them to state that it is unlikely to happen in the future to establish stability of income. His employment is not 100% stable in my opinion."

so broker responds back with "what about his employment is not stable?!"

so we go round and round....this was last week.

this morning, we get an email from the broker...

"Good Morning,

Please do NOT continue working on the above file. Customer has cancelled.

Thanks"

so ivycurlz emails her back and asks if she wants us to go ahead and cancel out the file.

her response :

"please..................guess what.................Mr. S* lost his job !!!............guess the underwriter called that one, huh !!!"

----------------

2. "This is an emergency we are going to lose this loan if we don't fund for september. Conditions attached - lets get the CTC!!!

Thanks again, *name withheld*"

let me clarify that CTC means 'clear to close'.

so ivycurlz looks at the conditions that were sent in and the broker fails to realize that the written verification of employment that was completed by the employer states that the borrower RESIGNED 9/8/10.


DEAR LORD HELP ME.

__________________________________________

soooooo......

no, these scenarios did NOT happen, but we made fun anyway :

butterfly : Hey I have a borrower that has been at 12 jobs in the last 2 years and unemployment on top of that. But we PROMISE they will still be at their job for many years to come, so you shouldn’t need to prove stability of income, right?

Kthxbye.

farls : ok so my borrower has never had a job but promises to get one if you approve this mortgage loan.
Please condition for the promise note, and make that a funding condition...need to close asap!

ivycurlz : Scenario:
Excellent credit customer (mid 500’s) been on the job for 6 months (laid off twice in the last year its not their fault though I can get an LOX) and only 42 NSF’s in the past 60 days, what do you think?

butterfly : Hey! I need a CTC right now like yesterday like right now and here all my conditions and I’m such an idiot that I didn’t even see that the VOE says he had resigned. OMG> LOL. IDK. I’m so silly.

farls : I really need to close this file, the borrowers girlfriends, cousin's, neighbor's, best friend is going to promise to split the payment if he can use the garage for a pharmaceutical production facility.Borrowers promises this is not an illegal operation and will be very profitable, can you make this a funding condition? Really need to get this done before the end of the month.

Jeremy Spoke In Class Today

this is an odd post and entirely random as i haven't posted on this thing in so long, but this is sparked by a conversation i had over the weekend about the well-known pearl jam song "jeremy". years after the song came out i remember having arguments with people about who this song was about. it took me way back and brought back so many memories. i argued that this was about a kid that killed himself in richardson, a suburb of dallas. i would always get crazy looks and the "whatever" reactions.

i met jeremy prior to his death. the memory is a little hazy, but i remember his face. end of 1990-beginning of january 1991. i was 14, about to be 15 and in the 9th grade. i was over at my friend dusty's house one day and there was this kid jeremy there - if i remember correctly he had a friend or two with him as well. i remember us all hanging out for a while that day although i don't remember what we did. i remember that jeremy liked dusty very much, and i remember talking to her about him and her feelings toward him were not mutual. so i'm pretty sure they stopped talking. it wasn't long after that time that we had heard the news that he had killed himself in front of his classroom in a high school a few miles away from us. dusty and i had started to drift apart as friends at that time, but i do remember talking to her and she was so distraught by it and feeling like somehow her not liking him back had a part in his actions. we were just kids when this happened, but the affect it had on us was scarring. we were too young to understand.

so this morning, i got on the internet and did some research. there are interviews with eddie vedder where he does in fact state that this song was written after he had read the news about jeremy wade delle taking his own life in front of his high school classroom at richardson high school in richardson, tx.

going back to this time in my mind is so strange...i haven't visited that specific place in so many years.

jeremy, so many years after you took your own life, i think of you today and remember back to the day that you did this. i'm sorry that you felt like you had to leave this earth when you did. being a teenager was the roughest part of my life...it's amazing that many of us do make it out alive. i remember your face and seeing your photo has a true sense of eeriness. rest in peace, dear jeremy.

here's a good website dedicated to him : http://www.ssheps.com/jeremynew.htm

If You Love Someone....

boy: baby i've come to the conclusion that we need to be together forever
and ever
andever
and ever

girl: finally...took you long enough to come to that conclusion!

boy: im serious
I love you and I dont wanna not be with you anymore

girl: really?
REALLY?!?!?!

boy: baby
im serious

girl: i know i'm serious too
i never thought you would say any of this to me
my heart is racing

boy: well i am buddy
so just deal with it

girl: i would love nothing more than to deal with it

boy: you're the only person that has truly loved me and I was always to scared of it and always ran away
it scared me and i ran all the time
I dont want to run away anymore

girl: yes i know you did. and every time it broke my heart.
but i could never and would never force you to feel something you didn't

boy: im sorry

girl: please don't apologize

boy: I've always loved you
always

girl: just as i've always loved you

boy: no matter what i've said or done
always
and when we weren't together I missed you so much

girl: i almost don't know what to say
i feel like i'm dreaming

boy: i miss u

girl: i miss you too

boy: what do you think about what i said
??

girl: i'm still in shock. it feels like i'm dreaming.

boy: ???

girl: i'm speechless.

boy: i dont wanna be away from you again

girl: i never thought you would say those things to me
i don't want you to either

boy: well i saying them now

girl: so really? forever?

boy: we dont need to be apart again
ever

-------------------

i never knew if i truly believed in the saying "If you love somebody, let them go. If they return, they were always yours. If they don't, they never were."

it wasn't until i TRULY TRULY let go (and yes, there is a difference between saying you have let go and truly doing so - i've experienced both - the prior many times) and had moved on, that he came back.

so a girl falls in love with a boy again.

for the first time.

Philippe Cousteau, Jr.

i would like to take a moment to put the spotlight on this young man! ....philippe cousteau jr is an absolute inspiration. he's come into the spotlight as of late with the oil spill. yes, he is the grandson of jacques cousteau. and look at him, he's pretty easy on the eyes to boot.

http://www.philippecousteau.com/

he's been on media shows recently speaking about the oil spill and offering his expertise and opinion on the matter. he is the CEO of earthecho international, a non-profit organization whos mission is to empower youth to take action that restores and protects our water planet. he is the chief ocean correspondent for animal planet and also for planet green channel.

what an inspiration he is and his work is dignifying.

so a handsome environmentalist. what more could you ask for? :p

"Can A President Be An Angry Black Man?"

Can A President Be An Angry Black Man?

please read and open for discussion.

firstly, this article is interesting and has some good points. however, i am getting a little irritated with all of the media's hype about the emotion / lack of emotion coming from our president. a lot of my respect and likeness for my president is that he is a calm and collective human being. black, white, green, orange...i don't give a flying frack. this is a sign of strength and intelligence in my opinion. it is not in his nature to be an angry person or a hot-head. didn't we all know this by now? george w. bush was a hot-head and flew off the handle every time we turned around. not to mention the fact that he is not very smart....someone like that is not someone who i want running our country. i want someone who is calm, collective and takes time to make a well thought-out educated decision on matters especially concerning the affect on my country. john mccain was george w. bush hot-head junior. he made that painfully obvious throughout all of the debates that mccain and obama had prior to obama being elected.

so either way....our president can not win. if he comes out flailing, he's automatically considered the "angry black man" by RWNJ's and if he comes out calm and collective, then he's not showing enough emotion. wtf people seriously. do i agree with my president 100%? no. do i support him 100%? yes. because i have faith in him and believe he has our best interest at heart for our country. do i think he should have acted a little quicker after the explosion of this oil rig? maybe so. but people need to quit putting all of this on him. this is not our president's "katrina" - which if i hear someone else say this, i am going to scream. he can't put on a wetsuit and become aquaman and dive 1 mile under the ocean and shut the leak off. he is doing the best that he can with the tools that he has. not to mention all of the other million pressing issues that our country has at the moment. he is only one man. one human man. have a little faith in him people and quit criticizing every little thing he does - especially something as trivial as showing the "correct" amount of emotion or not. ugh.

Lo-cal

so i had some time to kill this afternoon after i had finished working and i starting going through my blog and skimming through all of my old posts. it's so fun to read them to see how much you have changed/grown and on the other hand, how you've stayed just the same.

i know i haven't been posting much. i'm just at a stage in my life that i've taken a step back from the blogging world. who knows if it's permanent or if i'll pick it back up and run with it again. it's just where i am now.

life is blissful - i turned 34 this year and my little ladybug is growing up so fast.

Stop Touching Me

conversation between ivycurlz and a fella up here at work.

"i would appreciate it if you would stop touching me."

ivycurlz: "If you give me a hug I will give you a 24 hour restraining order against myself."

Really?!?

ok i am going on my soapbox again for just a moment. pardon me please...

so as a lot of you know out there, i was in an on-again off-again relationship with someone for 5 years. and in the off times, i had dated some other people here and there...nothing panned out.
i went through a heartbreak with this person in august of '09. it was pretty tough to get over, but i made it through and have completely overcome it.

i tried to date a couple of months after and i realized it was too soon. went out on a few dates. no biggy.

so, why when i have met someone that i really like and am falling for in the most amazing way, do these other guys come out of the woodwork? i kid you not, in the last 3-4 days, i have gotten texts from 4 different guys that i don't talk to on a regular basis...it's like they sense that shit. i want to tell them all to f - off, but that would be entirely too mean of me and i'm just not that type of person. but i sure am thinking it. one even had the audacity to say "what have you gotten yourself into? i've been waiting for you!" WHAT?!?! you haven't spoken to me in months and once you find out that i am seeing someone, i get that? wow. just wow. so, i tell you what boys, you had your chance, you blew it or it just didn't work out...i've met someone and i'm going for it. see ya.

it's about damn time i deserve some happiness and have someone treat me with love and respect as i will do the same.

*end soap box.

adios for now.

1 killed in whale attack at SeaWorld’s Shamu Stadium

i'm not going to go too far off on my soapbox at the moment, but when i hear about WILD animals attacking and killing humans when we are forcing them in these small holding tanks like sea world and zoos, it makes me just want to say...YAH YOU DESERVE IT. these animals belong in the wild or in wildlife reserves...not holding tanks or cages and taught tricks for us.

ugh. *end soapbox*

My New Year's NON-Resolution

alright so every year i make resolutions...some i actually follow through with...others just fall flat on their faces.

with that said, i am only making 2 "NON-resolutions" this year. of course there are specifics that i want to accomplish/change, but i'm not going to do that this year.

2009 certainly wasn't a bad year for me, but it entailed many struggles and heartaches.

so for 2010...here is is.

1. BE HAPPY

2. release all negativity and things that bring negativity to my life

and i think that about does it.

wishing all my blogging world friends a beautiful and prosperous 2010!!!!

much love to all.
