I'm back!!!!
Hi girls! You might not even remember me, but I was here for 2 years and then I let my membership lapse. However, I lurked quite often just to see how you all are. I was thrilled today to realize I can post again, now that it's free. Glad to be back with all of you! (And boy do I need some organizing help!)
(member during 2003, 2004)
Sheryl, welcome back!! It's old home week :).
Speaking of which, what ever happened to Jamie? I thought of her the other day. For those newer to the group, she used to do a lot of holiday organizing type stuff, including starting countdowns etc. Wonder where she went???
Hi Sheryl! :-)
Ann, I lurk occasionally, but have not really been in "organizing mode" lately...more maintenance mode nowadays. As for the holiday stuff, people stopped participating in the threads, so I just let it go due to "lack of interest". No need to "clutter" the boards with posts just to hear myself talk. :-)
Thanks for remembering me though - and it's good to "see" you again, Sheryl!
Jamie, you'll be happy to know that I am staying on top of my holiday organization. I'm learning to crochet! A little late for gifts this year, but you never know about next year! I bought a gift-wrap organizer that's on the wall in our laundry room. That will be "gift wrap central" this year rather than in our master bedroom closet. I still have a ways to go on Christmas gift purchases, but I'm coming along!
Julie, you missed all the hype about memberships now being free? Yep. Not fair to those that renewed their memberships this month, though.
Ann and Karen, I'm sure you both are as organized as ever!
Julie, I'm not sure if it's just THS or all of Gardenweb.
Actually, I didn't intend to let my membership lapse this long. Life just sort of got in the way. My husband had a heart attack in May (at the age of 42) and thankfully is okay. We were just fortunate that we got a great advice nurse on the phone who recognized the very vague symptoms (pain in teeth and jaws - absolutely no chest pain or shortness of breath at all) and insisted we call 9-1-1. Within 90 minutes he was in the cath lab having an artery unblocked and a stent implanted. Let me tell you, I realized the importance of organization that day. I had let the house go because I had other stuff going on and thought I could get to it that day. BUT, I had a fully-charged cell phone, cash in my wallet, and a full tank of gas. I had my emergency numbers in my control journal for the kids, since I had to leave them so I could follow the ambulance to ER. I am just blessed that he's okay.
Where's Brenda?
Me too. I used to post fairly regularly on this site, til they started charging. I've been lurking once in a while, but just couldn't see my way to paying for a membership.
Lets see, we bought a home in a new development May 2004, found out I had "Microcalcifications" in my left breast in Sept., I had surgery in Oct. and Nov. Followed by 7 weeks of radiation, and while that was going on we had to get our old house ready to put on the market.
We hired a house cleaning service, and DH painted, and rented a storage unit. I was exhausted from the radiation, and still don't feel fully recovered.
We moved to the new house in April, and I have been very busy decorating and organizing, and going to various Drs. I had a new baseline mammogram yesterday and it was clean.
Now that everything is unpacked, I will need some encouragement in keeping up my new cleaning routines. Routines and ETE are my new words to live by.
Well, since everyone is posting I'll jump in too! I've been working the early shift at JoAnns (5 am grrr) so I'm not on the puter much anymore. I think I am much more organized than I used to be. Gotten rid of most of the stuff in my laundy room cause it's in the garage and everything gets dirty. DS moved out so now I tell everyone "I didn't lose a son, I gained a sewing room" and that has been keeping me real busy. I depend on DD to help around here more and she's been great. Think I've lost some weight cause I don't have time to cook and bake like I used to. Everything has been prioritized and as long as I write myself notes I'm fine, LOL
Me, too! You might remember me as Stephanie in So. FL or in TN. Now I'm in Georgia, DH got a new job a year ago. I'm at 4 kids, and holding. I don't know what old bug got into my brain tonight to make me think "I wonder if THS is still around? And I wonder if Talley Sue still posts?" (I see you do, and other names I remember, too! I hope someone remembers me.)
I just finished painting a kid's bedroom, I'm working on getting all the stuff back in an organized manner. I've got some new rules for myself around the house. One, I can't take laundry out of the dryer and put in anywhere besides where it goes. No more laundry piles! Two, the week's dinner menu gets decided on Sunday with family input. Then I write it on the frig with a dry erase marker. Now that 3 kids are literate, that's stopping the "what's for dinner" question, and I spend less on groceries.
So I'm in that organizing state of mind and feeling good about it, I guess that's what brought me back to thinking about this site. I'm (still) trying, guys!
Here's to more posts in the New Year!
I just noticed this thread . . . I guess I should have posted my "Bouncing In" thread here instead. I am so glad so many familair faces are returning!! We NEED each other in this world of clutter and chaos!! Welcome back everyone!! I'm glad to be back too!

my boyfriend and I stayed here for 4 nights in September and were a bit apprehensive about staying in a hostel. However, it turned out to be really great, our room (double suite) was nice and comfortable, with a tv, fridge, kettle, desk and nice decent sized bathroom. It was clean and we had a large window to open which looked out over the rooftops on the other side of the street. Staff were friendly and accomodating, many of them appeared to be travellers from other countries as well. There's internet access in the lobby (you have to pay for) and free wifi in the rooms, however our wifi connection didn't work. Breakfast (included in the room price) is not bad to get you started for the day- toast, cereal, ham, cheese and tea/coffee. Reception is open 24 hours. Overall, given london is such an expensive place to stay in, I would definatley recommend this place (in a private room, can't comment on the bunk bed rooms) it's only a 5-10 minute bus ride to Oxford street or a 2 minute walk to a tube station. The kabab/curry place across the road is delicious and the people there are super friendly.

Canstar Community News - ONLINE EDITION
Get children to school and back safely
The Winnipeg Police Service hopes to reduce safety hazards associated with children getting to and from school.
If children are being dropped off or picked up, parents and guardians are asked to pay attention to no parking and no stopping signs in school zones, and should co-operate with the school's pickup and drop-off policies.
If children walk to school, parents should walk with them to help familiarize them with the route and to learn of traffic hazards and other situations to avoid. As the distance of the walk increases, so does the chance of having a safety hazard along the route.
Parents are also encouraged to speak with their children about traffic safety, including details when and where are the safest times and places to cross the street. Parents should underline the importance of using crosswalks and the guidance of school patrols while also learning to watch for vehicles in dangerous areas like parking lots and driveways.
As well, all motorists should keep a vigilant watch for children when driving, especially near schools, as children can appear from between vehicles at any time.
When motorists see a school bus picking up or dropping off children, they should be mindful that the stop signs must be respected — those who don't stop when the stop sign and lights are activated may be fined under the Highway Traffic Act.

Woods' Weekly is written by Superintendent Brian T. Woods and is sent to Northside ISD staff every Monday to keep them updated on local and state education issues.
|March 16, 2015
Good morning! I wanted to make you aware of a pro-public education rally that is scheduled in Austin next month. The group organizing the event is Save Texas Schools – the same group who organized an event in Northside during the 2013 legislative session to protest funding cuts to schools. This is a high-quality volunteer-led organization. More information about the rally can be found at http://savetxschools.org/
One of the many things being debated in Austin now is the prospect of tax relief. I won't get into my opinions on whether that is good or bad except to say that whenever the legislature messes around with a complex school funding system it makes me nervous. As you probably know, property taxes fund most Texas school operations so a proposal to give property tax relief with a promise to "hold schools harmless" makes me REALLY nervous.
You may recall that after the last school finance lawsuit was resolved the legislature had to fix a part of the system declared unconstitutional and the way they choose to do that was to compress property taxes from a maximum of $1.50 to $1.00 over a period of two years. They created a business or so- called margins tax to replace the lost property tax revenue. Despite warnings from people on both sides of the political aisle telling them it would not work, the legislature rammed it through in a special session. In fact, it did not work and the result is a structural deficit that negatively impacts the state – including public schools – to this day to the tune of $2 billion per year.
The new plan to provide property tax relief is to increase the homestead exemption (currently set at $15,000) to 25% of the median home price in the state. That would be about $33,625 in 2015. The price tag for this is $2.5 billion in lost revenue over the next two years and would save the average homeowner a little more than $200 per year. Again, mine is not to say whether this is good or bad – you can develop your own opinion. However, mine is to say that this needs to be done in a way that
REALLY is revenue neutral to Texas schools. And the legislature has a poor track record on that front. I'll have more to say about these plans in later editions.
I need to make you aware of a situation involving our health insurance. Right before Spring Break we found out that Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBSTX) had failed to come to contract agreements with the five Baptist Emergency Hospitals. These are the stand-alone emergency facilities that have been built recently – see the latest HR newsletter if you missed the initial announcement.
We now understand that the entire Christus Hospital System is scheduled to terminate their in-network contract with BCBSTX effective April 1, 2015. BCBSTX reports that negotiations are continuing in good faith. However, if a mutually acceptable agreement is not reached, the contract will terminate.
We are monitoring this situation very closely and we are aware that some of you may have planned hospital visits that may need to be changed should the negotiations fail. I apologize for the bad news on this front. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail and the situation will be resolved. However, we wanted you to be aware.
Recently we held our annual CLASS conference to honor and support all of the classified employees in our schools and departments. Each year, Organizational and Staff Development (OSD) and a steering committee organize this event. All of us know that our schools and departments could not run without great secretaries, but this event lets us formally say thank you to these important folks.
Thanks to Diana Ely, Director of OSD, the steering committee and all of our classified employees!
Finally, I want to thank Garcia MS principal Eric Tobias and Librarian Lucy Podmore for putting on an outstanding mayoral forum last week. The four leading candidates were on hand to answer questions created by current and former Garcia students. The student moderators were outstanding! Have a great week!

1994 Buick Century Problems
The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Our technicians tell us that operating the engine with a coolant/oil mix can result in internal engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct these leaks.
A door window may move slowly or stop in mid travel due to a failing power window motor. The affected window may start working again after the motor cools off. Replacing the faulty window motor will commonly correct this concern.
The inside door handle may break causing the door not to open from the inside.

1994 Buick Century Reviews
We bought our 94 Century in 95 as an off-lease vehicle, it ran great up until just over 150K miles which we hit in 2009. Then everything crapped out at once..door handles, power windows, a/c, intake manifold gasket, and finally the transmission. But it ran for 14 years with regular maintenance and some brake repairs now and then. Great car.
the car is in excellent condition and very low milage about what would this car sell for
I am 29 years old and have owned two 1994 Buick Centuries in my life - the first time as a teenager in high school and just recently bought another (both white with blue interior!). I didn't appreciate what I had as a teenager, but after owning a few other less quality cars in the last 10 years, I knew it was fate when I came across the craigslist ad for a white 94 Buick Century after I totale...

Does the job
I would not buy this chair for regular use. For an ***** **** chair I would expect much more if it sells in stores for $XXX+, would be really bummed if I spent that much for sure. I purchased this for Massage clients to have a place to sit and take shoes on and off, and one for the same in my guess room. It is really pretty. It doesn't seem to be so much chocolate brown to mean, brown with green yes but think it is different from the photo. I am really happy with the look. Looks expensive. Holds at least 220 lbs, hopefully more if needed. If I was not in love with the look so much I would probably be bummed I spent so much. Feel like they are $XX chairs at best. Do check sizes as others suggested. I do love them and if you know what you are getting you probably will too.Read More
Lounge Chair
I have 2 of these chairs. The fabric is very interesting. It isn't a cotton its more like a thick piece of paper w/ fiber. The comfort not so great odd shaped and doesn't give when you sit. I kept them because they are being used as accent chairs but I wish I had not purchased. They look okay but not for comfort at all. I would say find another product. The color is brown w/ white. I liked the general pattern but comfort is not a plus.Read More
Great chair!
Nice fabric blends well with other fabrics. Easy to put together sturdy and good looking ! Love Love ! K********Read More
Not as great as I expected
I gave away two beautifully made chairs that I didn't like the print on the fabric.. Not a good idea. These seem cheaply made and they were difficult to assemble. I should of recovered the ones I had. Price was too high for the quality I got. First purchase I regret. I have a coaster folded under the one leg cause they don't sit right. I hate that but its too late since I gave the others away and I'm too stubborn to admit to my boyfriend they aren't that great since I made such a big stink about how good overstock.com was. Better luck next time.Read More
Excellent value for a small accent chair
I was looking for a pair of small accent chairs to put in a guest bedroom, and the brown-and-white floral pattern on these chairs was perfect. They arrived in great condition with fast delivery. This chair does require some assembly - screwing together the back/seat and screwing on the legs. That would have been a tedious chore with the little hex wrench that was included - thankfully my husband had a socket wrench set with a hex attachment that made the work go very quickly. The fabric is a rich chocolate brown with clean true white designs - the listing doesn't actually tell you what colors this chair has, so I was taking a chance with them, but they were perfect for my needs. These are SMALL chairs - look at the measurements carefully to see if they will fit your needs. They are not lounging chairs - they are very firmly cushioned, but they are comfortable for that type of chair. Nobody is going to be relaxing in them to watch a movie or read a book, but they are fine for conversation or for a guest to use to sit down to put on their shoes or sit for a few minutes with the paper and a cup of coffee. They have pretty good back support - although the seat is rather deep. I'm tall so it fits me well, but a shorter person would probably need an additional pillow behind the back to make it fit. The seat is a comfortable height - not so low that you need a crane to get back up out of it. The back is rather low, so it fits under my window without blocking the view. Overall I'm very happy with these - they were the perfect size, color and price for my needs.Read More
The chair was very easy to set up. Especially if you have an electronic power set. However some washers were missing but I got them at lowes for 50 centsRead More
Great addition to my living room
I bought 2 of these chairs. They make a great addition to my living room! As others stated the color is a dark olive green and not brown, but that works just fine for my room.Read More
great chair
I wanted the chair as an accent for our bedroom and it was a good purchase for the price. The color was a bit different than on the picture, but overall the quality was good and it looks pretty. I would recommend it.Read More
pretty chair
I bought 2 for a room and think they were really nice. The pattern is classy, material nice, soft and comfortable.Read More

Chair's corner.
The AICPA strongly supports the goals of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and believes it is a major step forward on the path to reform. The real work to restore our profession's reputation as a steadfast guardian of the public trust, however, will be done by each and every one of us during the course of fulfilling our daily responsibilities. The members of the AICPA--both corporate accountants and outside auditors--will be the ones who ultimately determine whether the reforms contained in the new law succeed or fail in restoring the public's confidence in financial reporting.
As the PCAOB begins its important work, one of the decisions it will have to make is whether it will set audit standards itself or participate with other standard-setting processes in the private sector. We firmly believe that standards should be set by calling on the experience and expertise of the men and women who are practicing auditors, active in the field, and who recognize that the accounting profession operates in an increasingly global environment. Audit standards historically have been set in the "sunshine" with ample opportunity for all interested parties to actively participate, and that should continue. In addition, we must encourage more active participation by users of audit reports in this process.
In these times of rapid change, the AICPA is playing an important role as an advocate and a liaison for the members. We are taking your concerns to the regulators on a vast array of issues. At the state level, we are working in support of your state CPA society to continue efforts to bring greater consistency to state-based regulations. We will continue to monitor implementation of Sarbanes-Oxley for provisions that would be beneficial and appropriate to emulate in the private-company audit arena. However, we will also work with the state societies to register appropriate concerns where proposed extensions of Sarbanes-Oxley provisions to private-company audits would not be in the best interest of users of private-company financial information. We have formed a special committee to assist the states on this issue which we have referred to as the "cascade effect" (see page 8).
All of the reforms and changes that are under way require cooperation and communication with diverse organizations with varying areas of expertise and responsibility. We continue to have frequent and fruitful dialogue with the SEC and the PCAOB.
I believe we will achieve restoration of our shared sense of purpose, our reputation and our commitment to core values. We will be universally recognized as consummate professionals, serving the public good, who can be counted on to do what is right. We will reclaim with pride the title of CPA, a title which unquestionably stands for integrity and honor.

Fantastic fast cooker,
This review is from: Tefal Wikook P6060433 Fast Cooker, 4 Litre (Kitchen & Home)
Got this wikook as we don't like pressure cookers having had the weight blow off the top on several occasions. What a fantastic cooker. Made a beef curry using stewing meat in half an hour after getting to pressure (Would have taken a couple of hours in the oven or microwave) and was cooked to perfection. Well worth the money. Arrived two days after placing the order. Usual excellent delivery service from amazon.

My Mood:
Steelers linebacker Foote still feisty as ever
By Gerry Dulac / Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
It hasn't happened yet in training camp, but Larry Foote suspects it's only a matter of time.
At some point, when his helmet is off, someone will mistake him for James Farrior, even though the former inside linebacker has been retired for more than a year.
"This is the first year I didn't get called James," Foote said. "Last year, fans were calling me James. I still get it around town in Pittsburgh. He gets it sometimes, too, they call him Larry. One time I got it in [my hometown] Detroit. That's tough."
Foote said the case of mistaken identity is because he and his friend and former position mate have the same skin tone, forehead and hairline. But as he enters his 12th NFL season -- all but one with the Steelers -- Foote shares another quality with Farrior that distinguishes them from just about every other linebacker in team history:
Foote has appeared in 157 regular-season games with the Steelers, third most among linebackers in team history. He passed Farrior (154) for third place in 2012 and will tie Jason Gildon (158) for second when he starts the season opener Sept. 8 against the Tennessee Titans.
If he stays healthy and plays all 16 games, which he has done eight times in his career, Foote will inch closer to the team's all-time leader among linebackers, David Little, who appeared in 179 games with the Steelers from 1981-92.
Foote signed a three-year contract in the offseason, so it is conceivable he could pass Little in 2014 -- a notion that is not far-fetched given Foote's dependability and resiliency.
"Last year, when they turned [Farrior's starting spot] over to me, they wanted to see how I responded," Foote said. "And, off my play, they wanted me three more years.
"When you get toward the end and you see it coming, that alone just drives you. I made enough money, had enough success. I don't want to hang them up just yet. That's what motivates me in the morning."
The Steelers wanted to re-sign Foote, who was an unrestricted free agent, because they were thin at inside linebacker. They thought they drafted his replacement, Sean Spence, in the third round in 2012, but Spence sustained a severe knee injury and damage to his peroneal nerve in the preseason and it is not known if he will be able to play again.
But Foote, who turned 33 in June, is still here. He left once, after the 2008 Super Bowl season, to sign a big free-agent contact with the Detroit Lions. But after a 1-15 season, Foote had enough of losing and re-signed with the Steelers in 2010 to be Lawrence Timmons' backup.
After starting all 16 games in 2012 when Farrior retired, Foote has a new contract and several new defensive mates but the same positive attitude. He does not think the Steelers are a team in transition and rebuilding mode.
He thinks they are a contender.
"It's been a long time since we missed the playoffs back-to-back years and I don't plan on it this year," Foote said.
"There's nothing witchcraft about it. We got good players here. It's a mindset and attitude. A lot of times, that's what drives teams in this league, especially when you got the goods. Only half the league has the goods; the other half don't. We're one of the teams that do."
The goods?
Foote is referring to two aspects he said will always make the Steelers a contender -- franchise quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and a defense that has been ranked No. 1 in the league two years in a row and three of the past five.
"When you got a quarterback like we got, you got a chance," Foote said. "It's a quarterback-driven league and we did have the No. 1 defense in the league last year. That alone right there is why I pick us, that we're getting in [the playoffs] because we have the goods."
Foote, though, is keenly aware of the philosophy the Steelers embrace and the style they employ -- to keep the game close and find a way to win in the fourth quarter. They don't get blown out and they rarely blow out the other team. Last year, they were involved in nine games decided by four points or fewer but only managed a 4-5 record.
"That's the mindset," Foote said. "I wish it was the other way. I wish we were like the Patriots, put up 40-50 points on people. But that's not how we're built. I like it like that. We're a defensive team. You stop people from scoring in the 30s and high 20s, you win the game."
Foote has been around for a lot of those.
NOTES -- Foote and Troy Polamalu were given a day off from practice. When asked if anything were wrong with Polamalu, coach Mike Tomlin said, "He has a contusion of the birth certificate," a reference to Polamalu's age (32). ... Roethlisberger, who participated on a limited basis Saturday, returned to full practice. ... OLB Jason Worilds (toe), CBs Terry Hawthorne (knee) and DeMarcus Van Dyke (hamstring) and DE Nick Williams (knee) did not practice again. Also sitting out were OLB Jarvis Jones, RB Le'Veon Bell, TE Matt Spaeth and NT Steve McLendon, though Tomlin was not specific about the reason. ... The Steelers practice twice today. The afternoon session is open to the public. The players are off Tuesday.

Re: Steelers linebacker Foote still feisty as ever
Foote is definitely a guy that is on the downward slope of his career. He's been good at being the #2 guy inside for a while, but I really hope that Vince Williams steps up and makes the team. I also hope Spence recovers, so we have some ILB talent to replace him.

Re: Steelers linebacker Foote still feisty as ever
Like I've always said, Foote has been the consumate professional on and off the field! It will be a shame, as it was with Farrior, when he retires. He is a true example to hard work at home and on the field....

Re: Steelers linebacker Foote still feisty as ever
I've always said that if the Steelers didn't reach for Jason Worilds and instead drafted Sean Lee, that Foote would not even have been here last season.
I was a fan of Foote at Michigan and a fan of him as a Steeler, but the only reason he will start this season is that the Steelers haven't drafted a suitable replacement sooner and Sean Spence got injured last season. Foote is a weak link up the middle now and should be a veteran backup, not a starter.

Re: Steelers linebacker Foote still feisty as ever
Sorry, I know Foote had good tackle numbers but he is a liability against anyone with speed. There is no way he can hang with a fast RB on the loose and I shudder to think what would happen if one of the elite TEs in the league has to be covered by him. Troy Polomolu is the only reason that Foote can keep playing because he can cover for the lack of speed by Foote. If Troy stays healthy, Foote is fine. When Troy is gone, Foote is a liability. Unless Shemarko flashes some Troyness, I hope and pray Troy stays healthy this year.

Re: Steelers linebacker Foote still feisty as ever
Ed: Linebackers 'A Question Mark'
Good morning,
James Harrison left for Cincinnati, LaMarr Woodley is trying to overcome the past 1 ½ seasons of inadequate play, and James Farrior is two years removed.
What has become of the great Steelers linebacking corps, the position that produced the most Pro Bowl appearances in franchise history?
Its a question mark, said Larry Foote, the greybeard and ironman of the group.
Linebacker has been the one position that has avoided question mark status for a long time, but thats precisely what they are heading into 2013, especially on the outside.
Inside, Foote and Lawrence Timmons were rocks, the top two tacklers on the team, although Foote will dispute who finished first. Outside, they were disappointing the past two seasons. Woodley had four sacks the past 1 ½ seasons and Harrisons injuries reduced his effectiveness at the same time.
We need Woodley to go back to what hes normally doing, Foote said. And we need whoevers going to fill those shoes [of Harrisons] by committee whatever we need an unknown guy to make his presence known, to emerge and be a force.
Its a committee of two at right outside linebacker at the moment and one of those did not practice since last Thursday. Jason Worilds, who has been a backup in his first three seasons since the Steelers drafted him in the second round, is getting the chance to start in Harrisons spot, but hes missed the past four practices. They also drafted Jarvis Jones on the first round and hes been playing with the first team while Worilds heals.
There is potential there. IF Woodley returns to form and IF Jones and/or Worilds make people forget Harrison.
He looks good, Foote said of Jones. You always look at the first-round pick and he looks like hes going to fit the bill.
That position is easy. If I had it my way, Id be an outside linebacker; you get 10 sacks and youre the man. Whoever gets sacks is going to play.

It's Mrs. Reynolds!
Although she's been spotted on the "Gossip Girl" set, at pal Amber Tamblyn's recent weekend wedding and elsewhere, Blake Lively hit the red carpet at the Chanel Bijoux De Diamant 80th Anniversary bash in New York on Tuesday -- her very first official appearance since she wed Ryan Reynolds Sept. 9.
PHOTOS: Blake and Ryan -- a romantic timeline
The 25-year-old "Gossip Girl" star (and the face of Chanel's Mademoiselle bag) hit the stylish event in a sexy, backless silver gown by Chanel Couture. "The dress is actually made of jewelry," Lively told reporters. Although Lively took pains to hide her wedding and engagement bands in the gown's pockets, she eventually flashed the major bling to photographers.
One thing impossible to conceal? Lively's wedded bliss!
PHOTOS: Blake's hot body evolution
Looking even more radiant than usual, an overjoyed Lively lit up when asked about her life these days. "Life is great!" gushed the star, who wore her own Christian Louboutin shoes for the event, plus a diamond broach. "I was so excited to be driving over here in the car in this beautiful outfit. It's like a Disney princess dress!"
The actress' husband made a much more low-key appearance inside the event. The scruffy "Safe House" actor, 35, arrived separately and couldn't keep his eyes off his bride, checking her out from across the room before meeting up.
PHOTOS: Ryan Reynolds' hotness evolution
Another big milestone for the newlywed actress? "Gossip Girl" begins shooting its very last episode on Wednesday. "Can you believe it?" Lively said. "And they actually don't tell us what happens. But they do reveal who 'Gossip Girl' is -- I will say that much."
