A very special interruption for my very special announcement...We're engaged!!! (Nelz & Melz A.K.A. Melson) I still can't believe it! I'm in total shock. I never expected it would happen yesterday! I'm am the luckiest girl in the world and couldn't be happier! My dreams came true! So I know what you're thinking, "How random was this Tuesday proposal?!" Here's how it went down...
My fiancee's (OMG!) biggest concern was that I would be caught completely off guard. After multiple date changes he settled on a random Tuesday because I would never expect it. Louis and Scarlette invited us to a
Miami Spice double-date. I was excited when they said we should "do it big" and go to Mandarin Oriental's Azul. But honestly, I was feeling so sick, had a huge headache, and even felt a fever! I was definitely NOT in the mood to get all dressed up but my sister insisted that jeans were NOT allowed and I had to look my best. So I got home from work, changed into something pretty, and was able to feel fine enough to go.
Our reservations were at 8:30pm and at about 8:35pm Louis called Nelson and let him know that they would be late because they were stranded on the side of the road with a blown--no, shredded--tire. It was all part of the scheme but I totally fell for it. (If you know Louis, he is a very convincing story teller :) So we decided we would just hang out in the lobby and wait for them. After driving for about 20 minutes looking for the place, we finally found it. It was AMAZING! I followed him out to a balcony overlooking the bay and that's when he popped the question. I honestly don't really remember anything that was said! But I do remember that he was so nervous and when I hugged him, his temperature felt like 110 degrees! I was in shock, I cried non-stop, and finally said "Yes Babe!" It was perfect. AND MY RING IS PERFECT! He did a great job! He immediately pulled out a camera and started taking photos--he thought of everything!
The Maitre D' congratulated us and sat us down for a beautiful dinner. To our surprise, the jeweler sent us a bottle of wine and the restaurant staff served us a congratulatory dessert tray! I cried all through dinner and couldn't even eat! My nerves were shot! We talked about how far we've come in the last 8 years together and how excited we are to spend the rest of our lives happily ever after.
It was the perfect night. Here are some pictures to attest. Note my puffy crying eyes!
My sister had a celebration waiting for us at their house with champagne and homemade "engagement" cupcakes! I cried lots more and then felt sick again...But there was nothing that could ruin my night! I'm getting married to *him*! :)
Music with a little spunk? Check.
Multi-tasking has to be fun when you're juggling being an actress and creating a jewelry line. Molly Sims, former Sports Illustrated model and Hollywood actress, is yet another celebrity to team up with HSN and launch a jewelry line. 'Grayce' will be a costume jewelry collection inspired by Art Deco designs from the 20's, artistic designs from the 60's, and her love of art and travel. Unfortunately, there are no leaked images of her earrings, cuffs, and necklaces, but be on the look out on HSN by November of this year!
My little pup is all grown up! I can't believe she turns 28 today! (...well in dog years). I still remember the day I brought her home. She was all black with white feet and was originally named Socks. Today she's a beautiful blond bombshell. Born to a Yorkie mother and a Beagle father, Minnie certainly takes on each of their characteristics. And if you have yorkies or beagles, you know what I mean.
I apologize...I've been so occupied with my butterfly feelings since my fiancee proposed, that I haven't had a minute to catch up with my Celebrity-Turned-Jewelry-Designer posts. So, please excuse me while I continue to blog with all the warm and fuzzies for a while.
I am soooo happy for you both and wish you a lifetime of happiness! Love you!
Flipping through channels one day, I stumbled upon HSN (don't make fun!) and Tori Spelling's line. Totally caught my attention. Check out the latest from her collection available here. Prices range from just $19 to $99! And as always, payment plans are available on HSN for your convenience :)

I swear the theme song for Growing Pains started playing in my head when I came across these photos. It took me waaay back. I can't believe I completely forgot about my FAVORITE game when I was little! Did any of you ever play with "Fashion Plates"? Fashion Plates were meant for all those little girls who dreamed of being a dress designer when they grow up. You were to choose from a variety of indented plastic plates with different pictures of dresses, tops, pants, and skirts, and then make combinations to create your own little fashion portfolio. You place a piece of paper over your combo, glide a black crayon over the indentations, and go crazy with the colored pencils. I remember spending hours and hours making outfits...it was addicting. Gosh, I wish I still had this. I would play all day!
