The Hangover

I forgot to share my feedback. I realize I'm a little late in the game, seeing it just now, but whatever. I loved it. I laughed so hard one time that I spit on the person in front of me. It was awful. But I couldn't help it.

There were definitely parts that were just okay. For the most part I laughed. Uncontrollably.

And in closing, let me just say:

"I tend to think of myself, as a one man wolf pack. Though when my sister brought Doug home I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack, it grew by one. So there was two of us in the wolf pack, I was alone first in the pack and then doug joined later. And six months ago when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought "wait a second could it be?" and now I know for sure I just added two more guys to my wolf pack. Four of us wolves running around the desert together in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine. So tonight, I make a toast!"

Beerfests and Bridal Showers

This weekend is Smalltown, VA's beerfest. It's a HUGE event where microbreweries from up and down the East Coast come to town and set up in our park. The event is not only fun, but all proceeds go to support the arts in Smalltown, VA. So it's like drinking beer for a good cause. You can't beat that!

I'm on the board of the organization that puts this beerfest on. It's a lot of work. Not being on the board necessarily, but putting on this event. It our organization's largest even of the year, and it brings in thousands of dollars for our cause.

Thus far the weather reports say it will be a glorious day. I'm volunteering all day long at the event, and am excited to see how much money we can raise this year! So here is a shout out to Daisy for all of her hard work on this event (she is the event chair). You have done a fabulous job, and it will be a HUGE success!!!

Sunday is MK's bridal shower. I'm hosting the shower at my home, and I'm most excited!! I can't share with you any of the things WIMP and I are doing yet, because we certainly don't want MK to know before Sunday :) However, I will be sure to post pictures next week. Lots of friends will be coming together to celebrate MK and Brandon, and to shower them with gifts. Does it get any better than that? Oh yes...it does! I'm making my favorite concoction for the girls. Blueberry lemonade. Yummy!

Have a lovely weekend, and I hope the weather where you are is supposed to be as glorious as it is here.

Bad, Bad Spider...Why Did You Bite Me?

I've been gone for a few days, but it hasn't been my fault. It's was the fault of this nasty little spider. I can't tell you what kind he was because he fled the scene of the crime before I even knew there was a crime!

Last Tuesday I was bitten on my side. It was red and itchy and painful. I scratched it, and then put some antibiotic on it thinking that would solve the problem. WRONG! I won't go into details, because it really isn't pleasant...let's just say that I ended up in Urgent Care on Wednesday with a doctor sticking a needle into my side. Ouch!

MK went with me, thank goodness! I'm kindove sensitive when it comes to doctors and needles and such. I have good reason. I never get a cold really. I get attacked by a swarm of yellow jackets (which it turns out I'm deathy allergic to) and end up in the ER where they promptly cut my let open to extract stingers. This happens at least once a year. Well, not exactly that...but something that dramatic. I was 100% sure the doctor would have to cut me as a result of this spider bite. Thank heavens he just jabbed needles in me :)

So, I'm all bandaged up and on antibiotics and feeling rather pitiful during my recouperation. It's not life threatening or anything, but I'm milking it for all it's worth. Every time I clean/dress my wound TEN says "eeewwww...gross". I proceed to pout and then he makes me a steak dinner. I'm kindove thinking I'm not going to let on when I'm all healed!

As I said, I haven't a clue what kind of spider has bitten me. I'm imagining it must have looked like this due to all of the damange he's done:

Eeeeks!

And In Closing....

....I have absolutely no idea where this picture came from. I may very well have taken it from YOUR blog. If I did, please let me know and I will give you credit for making launch into giggles every time I see this.

I have been trying to clean up all of the saved pictures on my computer. The pictures that I randomly insert into my blog, and then never use again. And never delete. You know the ones. Anyway, I came across this pic and just had to share:


HAPPY TUESDAY!

Peacocks, Ladder Golf & Eggs Benedict

Saturday afternoon I attended a peacock themed wedding. That was definitely a first for me. The bride has a thing for peacocks, and asked me my thoughts on a peacock themed wedding months ago. I said go for it! Because really....it would be something different.

To be quite honest, I was really excited. I thought I would see something like this:

Unfortunately the wedding was pretty normal. No peacock feather wedding dress. Only a few feathers sticking out of the bridesmaid's bouquets, and a few stuck into the arrangements at the wedding.

All of us had begun referring to the event as "The Peacock Wedding" and were a little disappointed with the results. Even my friend TWW sent out a message on Saturday morning stating "So, what are the travel arrangements for the peacock wedding". You know when the guys get in on the banter it has really reached a new level :)

All in all it was a lovely wedding. The weather was beautiful, and it was an open bar. You can't ever go wrong with good weather and an open bar.

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

I cut out of the peacock wedding early. Some good friends were hosting a cookout/ladder golf tournament and I wasn't about to miss the competition! I changed into shorts and a polo and made it just in time for sign ups!

TEN was the grill master for the cookout piece of the evening. He refused to attend the peacock wedding with me because he is not a fan of the peacock bride AT ALL. Apparently they met on her bachelorette party night and he was not impressed.

In ladder golf my team won the first round, but then lost by 2 points in the second round. Boo hiss. Then, those that remained at the party headed down to the basement to play Rock Band. It was ugly. I'm not going to lie. I think I sang. I'm just hoping there isn't a video anywhere.

I proceeded to leave my camera at the party, so I didn't have it to take pictures of Sunday's festivities. Thank goodness Barbie had hers!

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

Sunday morning was another meeting of the PJ
Brunch Club. I was the host this month,
and TEN volunteered to make eggs benedict and some yummy orange gooey rolls. I made bacon and a breakfast casserole and cut up some fruit. That's about all I've got to offer when it comes to cooking, but let me just say it was DELICIOUS!!!



After we filled our bellies to the max the girls piled on my spare bed to take a picture. There was only a small group at this month's gathering, as some of the members were out of town. But who says less isn't more ;) We sure enjoyed ourselves!



<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

TEN and I are going to see The Hangover tonight. I've heard that it is quite possibly the funniest movie ever. If it's not I will be disappointed. I'm not going to lie. I'm hoping it is awesome because I haven't seen a really funny movie in a long time. AND...I'll be sure to give you my honest opinion tomorrow. You can count on that!

It's Been A While...

...and I've lots to tell you about. However, when I was looking for a picture to insert that relates to my wonderful weekend I found this.....

MK sent me this little Natalie Dee cartoon when I first met TEN. I kept going back and forth saying I just didn't think I could date him b/c of the age thing. Obviously I've quit worrying about that at this point, but then...I saw this little cartoon and it made me giggle. Uncontrollably. I think the plan was that I was going to send this to him to explain that it just wasn't going to work. I'm really glad I didn't :)

You've Got Mail!

Tory Burch just e-mailed me. Yea. I know. I was pretty excited about it too.

Until I realized she wasn't trying to send me a little prize for my free advertising attempt last week. She was simply writing to say that studs are hot right now.

Whatever Tory. I hate studs.

Tory also tells me that I can receive a $50 gift card when I spend $450 - $750 at Tory Burch. Well, Tory...I would. Really I would. If you had my sizes :(

Sigh.
