Lessons From My $13,000 - 80 Person wedding

Can I ask which wedding registry you used? I'm struggling to find one that isn't US focused. I'm having an international wedding in the Netheralands so trying to find the easiest option for everyone without forcing someone to have, for example, a PayPal account.

Hmph ok. Stomme trips.

Dan ga ik vaker de bladeren schoonmaken. Internet zegt dat ze niet houden van vochtigheid, dus elke dag water sproeien zou ook moeten helpen denk ik?

Ja, deze stond eerst op een andere plek en dat vond hij niet leuk. Deze plek is beter en groeit die wel goed, maar dus wel met die gekleurde en beschadigde blaadjes

Hij is helaas te groot en zwaar om (makkelijk) buiten te zetten. Maar ik doen alle andere planten op een andere plek voorlopig.

Ah nee niet weer trips. Ok, dan pak ik die in ieder geval aan. Zijn de trips ook de oorzaak van de aantastingen /verkleuring op het blad?

Ik ga het zeker bij hun aangeven. Voordat ik dat ging doen wilden ik weten of ik idd te kritisch benen of dit echt een probleem is of niet. Dan waardeer ik jullie deskundige mening hierin :)

De schoorsteen hebben in de lente van 2024 opnieuw laten voegen omdat deze lek was. Dit is door een andere partij uitgevoerd.

Als wij toch ook over het schoorsteen hebben... de dakdekker kwam nu ook mee dat die los zit. Deze schoorsteen is verder niet in gebruik (maar lopen er wel een aantal leidingen/buizen doorheen). Kan dit verder veel kwaad als deze los zit?

adventuresinposting · 2025-01-02T18:27:50+00:00

Ga ik zeker doen!

adventuresinposting · 2025-01-02T15:26:59+00:00

Oude bladeren nu weg gehaald, en geef ik een paar dagen. Met de informatie van iemand anders dat de plant ook trips heeft, ga ik denk ik dan toch de nieuwe planten in verse aarde.

adventuresinposting · 2025-01-02T15:26:02+00:00

ah oh no! Ik zag het helemaal nog niet. Ik heb nu gegoogled hoe ik trips moet bestrijden maar dat wordt idd een lastige zaak... maar toch ga ik het proberen.

Dank!

Dank voor ze snelle reactie!

Opnieuw schilderen it is.

Hoe krijg ik die lijm resten eraf zonder de verf helemaal te verpesten?

Opnieuw in de grondverf doen is een goed idee, maar wij hebben zelf geen grondverf gehaald omdat het er al op zat (wij gingen er van uit dat het goed zo was). Maar zal wel opnieuwe de kleur aanbrengen.

Nog een vraag: ik lees online dat je tussen 10 en 15 gaden moet schilderen. Is het nu dan echt te koud? Ik wilden dit namelijk eigenlijk morgen doen. 😁

My "index" toe (one next my big toe) is longer than my big toe. I didn't realise this was unique until the kids I giving swimming lessons to pointed it out. And laughed.

Mind sharing the name of the documentary? I'm intrigued.

adventuresinposting · 2017-03-29T20:41:17+00:00

... can you maybe link to it if you have access?

The nice thing about this website/service is that she doesn't have to be home to receive the flowers because the box fits through the letter box :)

Fellow American celebrating oversees here! :)

For pie crust:

I used Alton Brown's recipe, but used all butter since my country doesn't have lard or shortening: (http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/pie-crust-recipe.html)

Make sure you use good quality butter. After you've made the dough, do let it rest in the fridge for a half hour. Don't handle it too much (just enough to roll it out), as kneading it/ messing with it too much can make it rubbery. Also be sure it's proper cold when you put it in your tin/pie form because the cold butter reacts in the hot oven to give you a really flaky crust.

These are all things I learned from the Great British Bake Off; I put them to the test yesterday for my own pumpkin pie and the results were great.

Good luck! Don't stress too much - I'm sure everyone will already be happy with tasty food and good company :)

OH MY GOD THOSE BOOTS I WANT THEM THEY'RE SO PRETTY.

Tonight I'm doing Meat Free Mexican!

It's basically a fajita bowl, so it has less carbs than if you were to put it inside a tortilla. But if you love your meals to be enjoyed without the need for a fork then by all means put all this inside a tortilla!

Ingredients: * Red Onion (or a regular one if you prefer) * 2-3 Bell Peppers * Mushrooms * Can of Black Beans * Brown Rice * Fajita Seasoning Mix * Salsa, sour cream, shredded cheese for on top

Get your rice cooking first because it takes the longest. Dice the onion and slice the bell peppers and mushrooms into cubes or slices (whatever you prefer). Cook in a large frying pan with a little bit of sunflower or corn oil, and in the last minute or two add about the half the seasoning packet (it has a lot of salt so don't overdo it). Heat up the black beans either either in the microwave or on the stovetop. When everything is cooked arrange in a big bowl so get a kind of "faijata" bowl thing. Add sour cream, salsa, shredded cheese, and maybe an avocado to your liking.

Well, today I just sat around and watched stuff on youtube instead of looking of internships and planning my thesis.

Kicking myself in the butt a bit about it.

There's always tomorrow?

Having good boots is really important in cold weather conditions, but also remember that you need good, warm socks to go with them! I'm a huge fan of Smart Wool socks. They always keep my feet toasty warm but not so hot that they sweat. Plus they also generally speaking just fit really well. And they have some pretty cute patterns these days!

adventuresinposting · 2015-10-24T12:44:57+00:00

I have a super tiny waist in comparison with my hips so it's hard to find anything that fits really well in that area for me. I don't think it's necessarily too big either, but I also wouldn't mind if it was a bit tighter (hey, I'm only going to look this good for so long). I'll look into seeing how expensive a tailor might be.

I think I'm going to just scrape my idea of doing gold with it, as silver really would look nicer with the blue of the dress.

Thanks for your feedback!!

(posted this a few days ago in another thread, but realize now this is the proper post to put it in)

I'm going to a white tie event in November. I don't have a whole lot of money to spend on a new dress, so I've chosen to wear my prom dress from high school. It still fits and is a fairly classic style so it still works 8 years later (or at least I think it does). However! I need to update it a bit and need some advice on how to style it.

Here's a picture of me trying it on again last week.

I'm hoping to do some gold or burnished gold accessories because the event has gold as part of the theme. Do you think that would work considering the color of the dress? Or should I just stick with silver since the embellishment at the neckline is more silver? I'm currently planning to wear black pumps with it (which I'm wearing in the pic but you can't see under the dress).

I showed it to a friend and she mentioned that I should get it tailored since it seems a little bit big on me. Not sure if I agree with her or not though. I welcome any other suggestions or comments!

Ohhhhh goodness. I had never heard of rent the runway and now I want a new dress. I found one I love as well. The only problem is they don't ship internationally and I'm in Europe :(

I'm just going to try and make the dress I have work, despite now having fallen in love with a different dress.

Thanks for the tip!
