Today I'm going to try and finalize my wedding cupcakes. My theme was white on white with silver embellishments when i was planning to wear the #34, style #FAM6E507 dress shown here:
http://www.maxazria.com/spring2009/
Now that I have a new, more traditionally romantic dress, I'm rethinking that decision. I love the look created on this posting pic and might use it as inspiration for my cakes.
I know that the small details of the wedding day won't be noticeable to anyone but me, but I can't help but regret the change in tone that has occurred with my change in dress. The first dress was, in my opinion, glamorous - an old Hollywood feel - whereas the new dress is much sweeter and pretty.
I've gone from channeling Angelina to becoming Jen Aniston - a change I'm totally comfortable with... except that the original gray, yellow, and orange theme doesn't seem quite right anymore and I don't know how to change it: my two girls have purchased their dresses and the dark gray/pale orange invitations have already gone out.
Thoughts?

Book Suggestion
This one's for the ladies
If you're looking for a summer reading book and have ever wondered about/witnessed/experienced an abusive relationship and asked yourself "Why do women stay?", well here is a memoir that may answer that question, in addition to providing insight into what to watch out for in a relationship.
Leslie Steiner was barely older than you (ok, she was just out of college) when she got a job writing/editing for Seventeen Magazine. Soon after, she met the man of her dreams on the subway. Connor was a charming, Harvard educated, good looking guy who swept her off her feet in a whirlwind relationship that quickly developed into an engagement and subsequent marriage.
5 days before their wedding day, but many months after the first time he verbally abused her, he hit her for the first time. This book is the story of that relationship and how she eventually left.
I hope none of you ever come close to experiencing an abusive relationship like those of Leslie and so many other woman but I know that is wishful thinking. Hopefully, however, if you are one of those woman, this book will make you realize that you are not alone, it is not your fault, it is NOT easy to leave, BUT you can do it!
Check out Crazy Love by Leslie Morgan Steiner. Her voice is clear and the tone of the book makes it easy, addictive reading.

BUH BYE
Well kids, it's the end of the road and I must say that although it's been bumpy at times, it's been an great journey and I'm glad I was a part of it!
I wish all of you the best of luck in your senior year and please don't hesitate to stop by B22 if you need anything! Each and every one of you impacted my practice; I've learned from all of you and I hope you've learned from me!
You're an awesome group of kids and despite some combinations that drove me a bit crazy at times, I can honestly say that I genuinely like all of you as individuals. Please continue to work hard to be the best student you can be, the best friend you can be, the best child you can be and most importantly, the best person you can possibly be.
Stay true to yourself and remember that you are the only person in this entire world who can control YOU, so think of it as an honor and act accordingly!
Don't forget to check out the school's summer reading website at www.ebnet.org/summerreading and in addition, stay posted to this blog for the big changes that are right around the corner - as of August 29th, I'll no longer be Ms. Weiss and with my new name will come a new blog!
Stay tuned so you can be the first to bookmark the new site when it's up and running and make sure to check in from time to time as seniors to see what's happening in my world!
I'll miss you!!!
Weiss... soon to be La Pointe. I know, weird.

Works Consulted, again.
FYI - this is a LONG blog entry; I've posted SEVERAL other blog entries this weekend, so make sure to scroll down past this one to read the additional blog entries.
HOW TO DO MLA in-text parenthetical citations:
Single author named in parentheses.
The tendency to come to terms with difficult experiences is referred to as a "purification process" whereby "threatening or painful dissonances are warded off to preserve intact a clear and articulated image of oneself and one’s place in the world" (Sennett 11).
Single author named in a signal phrase.
Social historian Richard Sennett names the tendency to come to terms with difficult experiences a "purification process" whereby "threatening or painful dissonances are warded off to preserve intact a clear and articulated image of oneself and one’s place in the world" (11).
Two or more authors.
Certain literacy theorists have gone so far as to declare that "the most significant elements of human culture are undoubtedly channeled through words, and reside in the particular range of meanings and attitudes which members of any society attach to their verbal symbols" (Goody and Watt 323).
Corporate author (organization, association, etc.).
The federal government has funded research concerning consumer protection and consumer transactions with online pharmacies (Food and Drug Administration 125).
Works with no author.
Several critics of the concept of the transparent society ask if a large society would be able to handle the complete loss of privacy ("Surveillance Society" 115).
Two or more works by the same author.
In his investigation of social identity, The Uses of Disorder, Sennett defines adulthood as a stage where people "learn to tolerate painful ambiguity and uncertainty" (108).
In a surprising move, Richard Sennett combines the idea of power with that of virtue: "the idea of strength is complex in ordinary life because of what might be called the element of its integrity" (Authority 19).
Work found in an anthology or edited collection.
For an essay, short story, or other document included in an anthology or edited collection, use the name of the author of the work, not the editor of the anthology or collection, but use the page numbers from the anthology or collection.
Lawrence Rosenfield analyzes the way in which New York’s Central Park held a socializing function for nineteenth-century residents similar to that of traditional republican civic oratory (222).
Bible passage.
Unfortunately, the president could not recall the truism that "Wisdom is a fountain to one who has it, but folly is the punishment of fools" (New Oxford Annotated Bible, Prov. 20-22).
Secondary source of a quotation (someone quoted within the text of another author).
As Erickson reminds us, the early psychoanalysts focused on a single objective: "introspective honesty in the service of self enlightenment" (qtd. in Weiland 42).
Web page.
Abraham Lincoln's birthplace was designated as a National Historical Site in 1959 (National Park Service).

Statement of Discovery
Here's an example of a Statement of Discovery:
When I began this project, I wanted to explore the 30 years of friendship I’ve had with my childhood girlfriends. My main focus, I thought, was going to center on two recent instances that pulled the six of us closer together and so I began my research by searching for genre sources based on those two incidents: my one girlfriend's pregnancy and my other friend's recent diagnosis.
I chose my first set of genre sources from my personal documents, pulling from electronic sources such as online conversations, emails, Facebook threads, and articles and also a hardcopy source, in the form of a thank you note. Beginning with a visual source, a picture of my friends and I taken at a baby shower a few weeks ago, I set out to discover the basis of this long lasting friendship by first analyzing the details of that still image. From there, I moved on to comparing two textual sources related to the photo in an attempt to further the meaning behind the image and connect it to my topic at large.
At that point, I realized that I had spent pages talking about my friends but I had only gone into detail about a few of them, so I decided to shift my focus for a moment and describe each of the girls and how we met. I felt this was imperative since a significant amount of attention had been focused on the longevity of our friendship; I want to afford my reader an opportunity to meet each girl as I did, all those years ago.
At that point, I sourced additional genres because I knew I wanted to segue from the role my friend's pregnancy played in reuniting our friendship circle to the role our other friend's diagnosis had in strengthening it. I turned to a well known literary friendship, that of deceased poet Lucy Grealy and current contemporary fiction novelist, Ann Patchett.
Their story served as a meaningful transition between the two parts of the story I was trying to tell and in the end, I discovered that it was the second story that was the most powerful part of the project, which is why I spent 13 pages writing the story that she told to me.
I believe that story says everything about friendship that needs to be said; the discovery and the telling of that story is that makes this project meaningful. This project afforded me an opportunity to take time to explore something that is often taken for granted - the value of our personal relationships and in the end, I've realized just how fortunate I am to have such a lovely circle of friends.
