Fabulousness – Page 3 – graciefabulous

So I’ve decided to change my blog name – I hope this doesn’t mess anyone up… I know there are soooo many people that I’m sure have this book marked. Any way I have decided to do this because after finishing reading Bitter is the New Black – I really didn’t like the ending and liked even less the political views of the author. If you haven’t read the book, I’m not saying don’t read it – still a very funny read, but it really makes you think about the future of society – mainly from a political aspect. Or maybe I’m just a big geek – this is highly possible.

It was a pretty simple name change – Fabulous IS my word – I say it all the time, people on my team are trying to steal the usage of this word, but it just doesn’t work for them. Oh well.

Anyway, I’m printing off invitations for a party I am co-hosting in February – we’re having a Stock the Bar Party for some friends – the theme is Olive Us Are Getting Together! I sooo very much love the theme – see! drinking can lead to quite the creative mindset! I bought some big green paper lanternes and am going to have red helium balloons blown up inside of them so that they will look like olives and then have them floating all around. Also I’m going to have recipes for martinis and other fabulous drinks around in fun little picture clips. It’s going to be a blast and I’m so glad Brittany and Amanda are in this with me! I can’t wait.

OK! This is my very first blog posting… nothing special. And FYI, the name of said blog could change, but here’s how it came about. I’m reading a FABULOUS book – Bitter Is The New Black by Jenn Lancaster, she has a blog http://www.jennsylvania.com/. I chose my blog name to model a bit after hers but also it has a few more idiosyncrasies to it. Vane (and it’s spelling) having double intentions. I hope to be of some guidance if nothing else in how not to act in certain situations or maybe how to better take yourself seriously or more lightly, depending on how you deciphered that — good luck! Vane also for the ever present vanity that we come into extremely close encounters with each day – hey it happens, I know it, you know it, the American paparatzi, glitterati and the rest of the free world know it. So that’s how this thing came about.

I am plannin to use it to hopefully free up some aggressions and also I’m going to use it as a food diary – I have to shed about 30 so pounds prior my high school reunion this summer! NO, I promise not to bore you with a list of boring foods on a daily basis, I actually hope to use this as the outlet and more of a reminder to keep my food diary going.

So here’s to my maiden voyage on this blog-mobile!
