we rock!
sadly, both Karen and i were laid off from Mashable this week. although i loved my job and all the people i worked with, i completely understand the situation and what the business needs. they will grow and prosper without me and i will watch from the sidelines as a fan!
with that being said, i am looking for something in event planning, as i have found my career and am sticking to it.
if you have know of any opportunities, please let me know. otherwise, i’ll keep you posted. i am definitely looking on the bright side of things. i mean, hey…everything happens for a reason.
cheers,

Friday Frodos at Geek Week always crack me up, this one really got me because last night i read a tweet from one of my friends that was similar:
@dafnap

these engagement photos from Juliana Sunmi Park & Benjamin Jinsuk Lee’s wedding are incredible! i would love to know who their photographer was!!! love the idea 
Wedding of Juliana Sunmi Park & Benjamin Jinsuk Lee
This 7,200 square foot hall provides a commanding view of Geneva Lake. It handles 350-400 for sit down dinners
It’s official, Patrick Klepek and I picked a date!!! 8-10-12!
Here’s the venue: The Riviera. It’s beautiful. Right on the shores of Lake Geneva, it’s not only a venue, but is a dock for boats, a pier for tours, and has a bunch of fun shops in it. The view of the upstairs ballroom overlooks the lake and is naturally gorgeous without even decorating it. BONUS: it’s super cheap AND we can BYOB without a licensed bartender (SAVINGS $$$).
From left to right: strawberry rhubarb, chocolate chocolate, red velvet, carrot cake, and two servings of peanut butter mousse that we tried on top of brownies!
I tried on my mom’s wedding dress, which my grandma handmade. It literally fit like a glove. I couldn’t believe it. I mean, I am going to change the neckline and upper portion of the dress (I’m thinking of a sweetheart strapless neckline), but shh…I have to keep it a secret from Patrick!
We also had time for cupcake tasting and that was a huge success. The amazing pastry chef at OMG Cupcakes came up with the idea of mini cupcake displays for each of the tables in 3-tiered stands with a floral arrangement on the first tier. Kills two birds with one stone, because no I don’t have to worry about centerpieces for the tables! On the bridal party’s table, she will do a bigger cupcake display with a cake topper on the first tier, which Patrick and I will cut into and then save the other half for our 1 year. The flavors we picked were strawberry rhubarb, carrot cake, and a chocolate brownie with peanut butter mousse! OH MY!!!
I already have a bunch of things crossed off the list from one trip home, pretty successful! I was even able to squeeze in family and friends, an engagement bonfire, and a girlie sleepover with some of my bridesmaids.
My little sister and I at the Horticultural Hall, while venue shopping.
My mom and sister, getting dogs in the park!
My shotguns hanging by the lake: Kristen, Emma, and I!
I'm definitely in Wisconsin: bloody mary, little can of Miller Lite, and fried cheese curds!
The whole Klepek gang and I taking a ride in the Jeepster. (We are definitely driving away in this after we are hitched!)
Of course, it’s only the beginning of planning. I will make sure to post along the way. But until then…

this is hilarious and i wish it was around when i was a kid!
This should be hours of fun and you can dig it out every time Shark Week comes around. It’s just $16.38 from Amazon.
read this from Hollywood Reporter this morning:
here’s my shark week recap post:
first of all, you HAVE to make sure your guests no what they are in for.
chum stew!
chum stew:
add all of the above and have the stew brew for approximately 5 hours. top with aged cotija or parmesan and cheddar goldfishes.
fresh jumbo lump crab dip (mixed with spicy cocktail sauce, greek yogurt, cream cheese, and diced peppers)
shark teeth sugar cookies
i tried to incorporate shark related things everywhere! i was waiting for my bestie's homemade sun-dried tomato 'chummus' for the finishing touches!
i made mango bites: Naked mango juice, basil, lime juice, and vodka (shaken with ice in a martini shaker) then poured over lemon-lime High Ball.
we had a ton of fun with the shark week drinking game rules i found as well:
1. anytime someone is referred to as a ‘shark expert’ – 2 drinks
2. begin drinking when any shark becomes airborne, don’t stop until it is all the way back in the water
3. anyone speakers with an Australian accept – 1 drink
4. someone gives advice on how to survive a shark attack – 2 drinks
5. anytime you hear the jaws theme music – 3 drinks
6. reenactment of an attack – 2 drinks
7. someone dies – finish your drink in honor
8. anyone gets submerged in a steel cage – 3 drinks
9. you see a shark caught or trapped – 2 drinks
my friend Mike, my little sharkie, Pixel, and I giving our best 'shark faces'!
speaking of shark faces, here are a couple of my lovely friends and their best ferocious looks:
Chrissy has double shark! so intense!
Lucas looks like he's a Muppet! he's to cute to be scary
my bestie, Seana, even looks hawt with a fin on her head!
it almost looks like Greg is giving me an Owen Wilson impression!
happy shark week to all!
<3 the shark
Karen (Lucas' mommy) is the sly shark. watch out!
