A " ROYAL" Night..

Friday, April 29, 2011

Its a Royal Night for all of us.. Well for some of us its a Royal Morning! Right now its 1:51 am and its almost 6am. I can only imagine she is up getting ready for one of the biggest days of her life! I am very excited for her!!!

The jewels are priceless symbols of the British monarchy found under under armed guard in the Jewel House at the Tower of London. You should see them because they are the greatest working collection of Crown Jewels in the world and priceless symbols of British monarchy They include the world’s most famous diamonds, the enormous Cullinan I (the biggest diamond ever found) and the notorious Koh-i-Noor

23,578 gems that make up the Crown Jewels, including the glistening Imperial State Crown, which alone has 2,868 diamonds, 273 pearls, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds and 5 rubies.

And you men wonder why diamonds are a girls best friend!?

Any the Tower isn't all about the diamonds...Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, more commonly known as the Tower of London, is a historic castle on the north bank of the River Thames in central London, England. It was founded towards the end of 1066 as part of the Norman Conquest of England. The White Tower, which gives the entire castle its name, was built by William the Conqueror in 1078, and was a resented symbol of oppression, inflicted upon London by the new ruling elite. The castle was used as a prison since at least 1100, although that was not its primary purpose. A grand palace early in its history, it served as a royal residence. The Tower is a complex of several buildings set within two concentric rings of defensive walls and a moat. There were several phases of expansion, mainly under Kings Richard the Lionheart, Henry III, and Edward I in the 12th and 13th centuries. The general layout established by the late 13th century remains despite later activity on the site.

The peak period of the castle's use as a prison was the 16th and 17th centuries, when many figures fallen into disgrace, such as Elizabeth I before she became queen, were held within its walls. This use has led to the phrase "sent to the Tower".


Just a bit more British History!!

Any way today was kind a easy day. I didn't feel good and I didn't force myself to do much. I made BLT's for dinner and we enjoyed a night in front of TV. 20/20, American Idol, & Greys Anatomy..I was feeling pretty bad through all the shows. But then I took a long shower and it kinda helped. I am forcing myself to stay up to see this wedding. And just in case..both DVR's are set to record! I will watch them a couple of times anyway! But trying my hardest to stay up. Got a busy day tomorrow so I am thinking as soon as I can after the balcony kiss I will be trying to get a couple hrs of sleep to get me through Friday. I have things to do tomorrow so I need a little sleep!

Scott was in a happy mood tonight. We must have slow danced in the kitchen for 10 minutes.. with no music..He is such a true romantic! It really felt good just being held.. He kinda looked tired too and then he went to bed and got up sick..I think it was his medicine that upset his stomach but who knows.. Hes now sound a sleep and snoring like Godzilla! So I'd say he is feeling better!!

I have been watching TV and playing with the cats while writing this post and its already 230 am.. Wedding Coverage starts in 30 minutes.. So far I'm still up.. 6 am is going to be hard for me!

Right now Giovanni is running around here causing all kinds of hell..Before long he will be trying to climb the curtians!!! He gets in so much trouble!!!

Hope you guys had a great day! Soooo happy Friday is here! I am hoping for Sushi Dojo tonight! Lets just see if I can talk Scott into it!

Scott's sister is heading down today sometime to buy a car from Scott. I think she is spending a night either here or in a hotel so its going to be a busy weekend!

I might be blogging again if I stay up and watch this wedding so stay posted if you are up watching!!
