Spring Break

This week, my little blog and I will be taking some needed time off.

The main reason behind this "spring break" is due to the fact that weddingbee finally told me that I am not "hive-worthy." I know, I know, I'm as shocked and stunned as all of you. No explanation was really given as to why I didn't cut it for them and at this point, I'm over it....or maybe still in denial. As a reward to myself for not driving up to Bee headquarters and demanding acceptance, I'm giving myself a couple days off to pout it out. The next couple of days will be spent sifting through my Google Reader, cleaning up my blog a little bit, determining the BM dresses, and getting the remaining save the dates out the door instead of posting.

Next week: our save the dates, an inspiration board for my dear friend Candice, a new poll, and so much more!
Also, next week is the official end of "busy" season for me at work. No more 55+ hour weeks filled with weeks upon weeks of traveling...a celebration is in order.

    jessica, they are NUTS for not having you join the hive. it's seriously their loss though. i (and others, obviously!) have been having a blast reading all about your planning and ideas for others. i am looking foward to when you're "spring break" is over. :)

    Your blog rocks the boat...don't let the bee sting you...we ALL love your blog, it's a great blog you write, and you SHOULD be proud of it...I agree with Tara, be your OWN Queen Bee...why be just a part of a "hive"?! Cheer up your sweet little heart and know the rest of the blog world loves you & your blog...so blog on. Take a break, but know when you're ready to post again, we'll all be waiting with excitement to see the next things you blog about.

    Take Care, and Chin Up!!!

    (Notice, I'm "just jaime"...I came up with that after someone told me I was too nice, that I needed to be more of a bitch in order to find success. I told them to screw off, found a better job, and am happy I never changed who I was...because I'm happy being "just jaime". You're blog's not just some blog...it's better than that...it's YOURS, and that's what makes it so great. Own it. And be proud!!!)
