Twice Married
Dean and I are getting married twice–once in the church and a second time civilly in Palm Springs. Despite my best negotiations skills, I couldn’t convince the church to grant us an exception of getting married outdoors. I attend church…
Necessary, but Trivial Expenses
Here’s where expenses are adding up that I hadn’t really accounted for. For example: hair. There’s no getting around my hair. It’s gotta be up. It’s gotta be done by a professional because I sure as hell cannot do it…
