Consider this a posterity shot to prove that we did in fact make it up at 5 a.m. to watch Wills and Kate get married. Please excuse our morning look sans makeup! But our smiles are each so big after watching the Royal Couple say ‘I do’, it’s hard to notice anything else! 🙂
Royal cookies
Experiencing Royal Wedding withdrawal? Order yourself a box of Royal cookies from Eleni’s to help dull the pain. Don’t you just love the representation of Prince William and (now) Princess Kate’s special day? The entire box is not only a tribute to the wedding, but a tribute to England itself. Definitely a sweet treat!

A Cappella Page: Overboard
How did you find people to join the group in the beginning? Some of them were people that I sang with in college. Others, we found through Craigslist. I actually held auditions for the first two members completely by myself. I just met guys in a house. Alone. I’m the one original member left. Scott [Overboard’s percussionist] is the next guy and he joined in March of 2007.
How would you describe Overboard’s style? We try to keep our repertoire really eclectic. We want to be able to perform at everything from a college to a 75-year-old’s birthday party and be able to entertain both audiences. We often find ourselves in front of an audience that spans a 50-year age gap. As a result, we try to mix up our style a lot.
Is it tough to pursue a cappella full-time? We’re doing our best to make this a full-time venture. We do a lot of musical side work in order to make sure that we have enough income coming in. Most of us at this point are doing a cappella production work too, tracking high school groups or college groups and doing editing and mixing. That’s something we’re going to be pursuing in a more organized and formal fashion coming up.
By Design: The Bathroom
Think about all the postcards and mementos you’ve been saving over the years. Now, consider the design idea above from Annemarie Buckley of Scout’s Honor Co. I love the way she turns her bathroom walls into art at her Vermont-based home. The collage effect is so cool and entertaining—if your guests start spending more time in the bathroom, you’ll know why!

The weekend is here!
So, tell me — did you wake up early to watch the Royal Couple say ‘I do’? What a gorgeous affair! I got up early with friends at 5 a.m. We sipped tea (and coffee), ate scones, and toasted Wills and Kate from afar with some early morning champagne. You’ll have to excuse my excitement over the whole thing. Since I was little, my mom has been talking about the day Diana wed Charles and how incredible it was when the whole world watched. I didn’t want to miss out on a piece of history so big!
Anyways, what do you have planned for the weekend? Matt and I are hoping to check out the World’s Largest Dinosaur Exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History. Such fun! Here, to get your weekend started right, a few happy posts from around the web:
It’s only a matter of words.
The inflatable iceberg!
An homage to the Beastie Boys.
A Columbus couple says ‘I do’.
