Tisha - Defending Her Life

Wedding Planning Blog

2010-05-04T12:51:00.004-05:00

I've created a blog for the wedding planning part of my life (which is pretty much my whole life) and will be updating it, hopefully, a lot more regularly. It's still a work in progress, but I will be adding new things mostly-daily. If you'd like to have a look, and add it to your list, please do.

And we also have a new link to our regular wedding website.

So, yeah...that happened.

A lot has happened since September 10, 2009. And guess what, a lot is going to change around here.

There's no way in this day and age, 50 million years (mentally and emotionally at least) after my last post, that I can keep this blog in any sort of formal standard schedule. It just can't happen. At least not until October 16, 2010 at the earliest.

Getting engaged and planning a wedding does some messed up things to your brain, one of which is to make you think of your wedding pretty much non-stop. It's just there, always, in the front of your brain. Every single decision brings up the question, "How will this affect the wedding?" Every conversation has the potential to end in, "So, yeah, then they told me the color was discontinued! Can you believe that?" and that's the point when all of your friends stop listening and their ears shut off, I'm sure.

I never thought in a million years that I would understand someone being a bridezilla. When planning a wedding, the term gets a lot closer to heart and you start to feel for those girls. I can see how things get that bad. I fear for myself and my family and friends that I will get that bad. I hope that I don't.

Highly Toxic?

I've always stored my cake pans and cookie sheets in the oven. In 10+ years, I've never once forgotten to take them out before preheating the oven... until last night.

This is what happens to plastic cake pan lids, when they are left in an oven that is preheating to 425, for 30 minutes:

Obviously I threw out both lids, and the metal cake pan that the one melted into. I kept the glass Pyrex cake pan that the blue lid went to. My question is, is it safe to use my oven now? There's a part of my brain that is telling me that fumes from melted plastic is highly toxic. Should I be worried? The clear lid melted on to one of the racks in the oven, but I was able to peel it off, after it cooled. Do I need to do anything else?

Thanks in advance, for any suggestions.

Vacation / Sick Leave

Sorry everyone, but there probably won't be any new posts until next Tuesday. Bad planning on my part, I know. I'm not feeling real great today (allergies), and we're going out of town for the long weekend.

Please stay tuned, because I will be back in full-force, next Tuesday.
