auberginequeen in Planning, on November 2, 2016 at 5:13 PM

I am such an idiot. I didn't need to turn in my guest count until tomorrow but I did yesterday because I thought it was solidified and we were going to the venue anyway so I figured it would save time...

Any other soon-to-be brides becoming complete space cadets?
auberginequeen in Community Conversations, on October 24, 2016 at 10:11 PM

So the weddings less than 2 weeks away and I've definitely entered freak out mode. I think my brain is trying to process too many things at once and I guess it has to take it out of something. It...

auberginequeen in Fitness and Health, on October 17, 2016 at 7:01 PM

After talking to the doctor about his ultrasound, he said it is hard to tell what it is, which is why they are referring him to a urologist. There's a possibility it's just an infection, and they have...
