here's my blog about me
On Saturday, I hosted a baby shower for Lindsey and baby to be Rhett! It was a baseball theme and so we had ball park food like nachos, hot dogs and pretzels – of corse all had a touch of fabulous flair…
Pictures to come – I didn’t take any so I’m waiting on my co-hostesses to send them to me! =)
Obviously I haven’t posted in quite a while. I haven’t had the inspiration to write about much at all. I’m going to try and start catching up, so yes, there will be some back dating involved! Check back and scroll down to find out more soon!
This weekend I took Mike to see WICKED in Tulsa. I saw it last year with the THSC girls on Broadway and I was super excited that it was coming to play so close! The Tulsa showing wasn’t quite as good as the Broadway showing but it was still super fabulous! In true fashion, I dressed thematically with my “ruby red” shoes and sparkly green eyeshadow.
Tulsa is a great day trip and we hope to go back soon.
This weekend was the 4th of July, it was a bitter-sweet weekend at best. On Thursday we learned of the death of a dear friend, on Friday we celebrated (early) a pre-40 birthday party, on Saturday we had a lazy rainy day, pizza, movies and a bbq in the evening with my parents friends. After the bbq, we came home and sat in the driveway to watch the neighbors try real hard not to blow up themselves or their houses – they even blared some Skynard for dramatic effect {or at least that’s what we called it, I’m sure they truly enjoyed it.}
That was pretty much as close to a childhood 4th of July replication as I’m ever gonna get.
I just heard on the local news that Oklahoma is set to pass a bill tomorrow, July 1st that BANS eyeball tattoos.
Why is this considered noteworthy news?
Then, they followed the story with the Oklahoma state legislature is also going to pass a measure tomorrow to lower the sales tax on groceries by close to 1 cent. Although that’s not a lot of dough, it definitely seems more important that leading with the story about the ban on eye tattoos!
Do you have out of date personalized address labels lying around? Or even just ugly ones that you get as a “fabulous free gift” for some reason or another. If so, bring them to work and use them to label your frozen meals for lunch with your name so no one steals them.
I’m sure that someone else has probably thought of this but I just thought of it so I don’t have anyone to attribute it to. I just got tired of writing my name on every single facing of my frozen meals. That’s the only way they won’t get eaten by someone else.
Today I helped host a going away party for our good friends Scott and Cheryl and their girls Cayden and Payton! They are moving to Houston in just a couple of weeks – Scott got a wonderful job offer that they could not pass up.
The theme of the party of course was “Western Chic” complete with cowboy hats and boots and lots of BLING. I always need an excuse to wear my cowboy boots and a dress, and this was IT – probably for the year… There was a kid corral for ALL the children, pretty sure MZ and I were the only ones without children but that’s totally fine.
I think it was a great way to send them off and it seemed like everyone really enjoyed the party. I will miss Cheryl a lot, she is such a great friend and is always a creative inspiration and fabulous to host parties with, so I’m losing my hostess buddy – we’ll have to have online parties or install a webcam to any parties going forward so she can still participate!
Last night I hosted book club for our group, we read Pretty Little Mistakes by Heather McElahtton. It’s a choose your own adventure book, a genre I’ve never heard of, but apparently it’s a tween thing to do. I’ve already been asked if we’re going to read Dungeons and Dragons next = no! It was a good book nonetheless and I think everyone had a great time reading it.
For dinner I made a veggie lasagna using the Cooking Light recipe, a watermelon arugula salad, pita pesto chips and a peanut butter cup chocolate cake. I must say, for my first lasagna, it was pretty good. The salad was AMAZING! Check it out for sure!
I cleaned out my car this past weekend, which consisted mainly of emptying out all the shoes… I learned yesterday this was a shitty idea. I was walking down the stairs to head to lunch and not quite sure what happened but my right foot went one way and the rest of me went another way and I fell on my ass all the way down the stairs. Fortunately I didn’t have my phone or sunglasses in my hands or they probably would have gone flying or have shattered as my hands hit the stair floor. I sat there for just a bit and concluded I was all still in one piece and just got up and picked up my spilled purse and headed down the 2 more flights of stairs – minus my super tall shoes. I left for lunch and tried to calm down … tanning helped, tanning always helps! So when I got back to the parking lot I was all set to grab some flippie floppies out of the car to wear the rest of the day. That didn’t happen because I took everything out of my car. I was very very sad!
My left leg and elbow are still pretty sore and I have a rockin’ bruise on my hipal area, but other than that, no lasting damage.
So I’m going to try a new experiment, online food journaling. I’ve created a little tab – look at the top right side of this page, go ahead and click on it now.
I’m going to keep track of my daily food intake with pictures and stats and maybe even a review or two.
