Just Vicki, no veil

The all-consumed-blogging-bride-Vicki would like to step off her wedding podium for a day, and step onto a different soap box.

Lately I talked with a friend about how much wedding planning has changed me: made me more responsible, more forward-thinking, more conscious of others feelings, and less selfish.  The weight of planning the most bomb-tastic party to celebrate the best day of my life lead me to realize a lot.

But right now? I want to be "Just Vicki" (picture Jack, from Will & Grace, saying "Just Jack" -- except it's me, saying "Just Vicki"). No veil.

So here's a little smattering of details about myself and the other things that define me. 

I am:

{{ a school teacher and lover of children's books }}

{{ a wine connoisseur who knows little about wine }}

{{ reader of Twilight and watcher of True Blood}}*

{{ an occasional painter and craft-enthusiast}}

{{ emotional and sensitive -- aka a libra }}

{{ a music lover, especially pop and girlie rock }}

{{ an avid fruit & veggie consumer, 5 a day! }}

{{ green. as in I like things natural }}

{{ in love with brownies }}

{{ a writer, appreciative of others writing}}

{{ an aunt to two adorable girls }}

{{ edgy, raw, and deep }}

 {{ a friend, a daughter, a sister, and a girlfriend}}

{I am more than a bride planning a wedding!}

What defines you?

*but I'm not, like, obsesssssed or anything.

  5. Yes, lately there haven't been a whole lot of posts about Vicki, the person. I'm not implying that being a bride makes you not a person, simply that "person" is the all encompassing personality, while bride is only one facet of that person. Anyway, I was beginning to miss Vicki, the person. Although I do get her in small doses via Twitter, which is great.

    Don't box yourself in! And certainly don't let others do it.
