Can't Wait!

Tonight I get to go to the T.I. concert... and I can't wait! My brother got his wife, Tiffany and me tickets! (Mine is a belated b-day gift) Isn't he awesome?!

Well have a great weekend and remember.... YOU CAN HAVE WHATEVER YOU LIKE....

CRAP!

I really don't know what my problem has been lately, except for the fact that I've been out of my mind busy! With school, sports and birthdays... my days are full. So for now I'll give you a taste of the bday party we had for my buddy Patrece on Saturday night. All our favorite friends were there. It was a ton of fun! 

I'm off to see Billy Idol at The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel this weekend, so I'll try to get some good pics of that.

I will try to rededicate myself to blogging next week. Promise. :)

Neighborhood Girls Night Out

Went out with all my neighborhood gal pals a few nights ago for the "August birthdays". Chili's didn't know what to do when they saw us comin'...

RACHEL! You are now the proud subscriber to Lucky Magazine for 2 years!

Please email me your info and I'll have it shipped ASAP! :)

I video taped my son drawing Rachel's name just in case anyone doubts that this was all luck of the draw. The video is dumb and I sound like an idiot in it, but hey... at least there's proof.

Yay for Joshua!

I am so happy that Joshua won! He really deserved it. And thank goodness it wasn't Katee... The judges were really rooting for her, but I'm glad it turned out the way it did! So there's my 2 cents...

We had a great time watching the finale. They did all the good dances again and a few other performances (some I could've done without) but overall it was a great show! My only complaint is that now we have to wait another year to watch again.

My "LIST"

Remember Ross and Rachel's "LIST" on Friends? Well my sister, Misty put together a little post dedicated to just that. She's wants to know... Who's on your list?


Here's my countdown. I had to give a lot of thought to this one... cause you never know.... :)

#5 Mark Walberg - I don't know... call me crazy!

#4 Matthew Maconaughey - Need I say more?

#3 Ryan Phillipe - I was hooked after watching him "star" in "Cruel Intentions"... I'm not gonna lie.

#2 Ashton Kutcher - I'm a sucker for a cute, funny guy. What can I say? #1 Penn Badgley - In my mind this is who I pictured when I thought of Edward Cullen. mmmmm......

So come on girls... play along! Enquiring minds wanna know!!

Oh How Fun!

I was invited by my blogging BFF, AMY for a little get together at her house to celebrate her 100th post! She is truly AMAZING! First of all, her house is gorgeous. Next, she kept telling me that this little shindig wasn't going to be anything spectacular, but I should've known better. She had glitter cups for everyone (I already had mine, 'cause I won her apron giveaway and she snuck that in too) and we all had our very own place settings. She had salad, an amazing artichoke dip (still need the recipe), and the best chicken fajitas I've ever tasted!

This is what my personalized setting looked like...

Tonia and Marla showed up with the cutest display of cupcakes I've ever seen!

Could you die?!?

Of course we all had to take a minute for a photo op... We have to remember this fun time forevah!! The rest of the girls she invited were so great and friendly. I can't wait to get together with all of them again!

Thanks so much Amy for making my day today! You are freaking adorable and I hope you know how much I heart u!

My First Giveaway!

I've been very hesitant to do a giveaway because I didn't want to do something totally lame. Well, I've been given so much love on my blog lately, that I thought it was about dang time! Also, it's my bday month... so that's another good reason right?

So here it is. I wanted to give something that is my "fav". I thought and thought, and one of my favorite things is my Lucky Magazine subscription. I love fashion, but not the kind that costs me a fortune... that's where Lucky comes in. They give ideas for every budget and good ones at that. So folks, that's what you get...

A 2 year subscription to Lucky Magazine!

That's right... It's the gift that keeps on giving. For the next 2 years you can get excited like me when it comes in the mail each month!

The rules are "as usual"... leave me a comment for one entry and send me a shout out on your blog for two! The contest will end on Monday, August 18th.

So come on all my little blogging buddies... ENTER! And even if you're a sweet little blurker that doesn't usually like to comment... What have you got to lose? It just could be your "LUCKY" day!!! :)

Here we go again....

This weekend was a good one! Friday night we went to see Mama Mia. What a cute show... but just a tip, unless your guy has gay tendencies... don't bring him. Mike slept through the whole thing. We saw the live show in Vegas a few years ago, and the movie didn't disappoint. Meryl Streep is so good! The only part I could have done without is Pierce Brosnin's singing. Not the best I have to say. But for a fun girl's night... go see it!

Saturday night we went to the Police concert. It was a blast! The only problem was that I FORGOT MY CAMERA! How dumb is that? I was so bugged... but I got over it the minute Sting started to sing. He sounds EXACTLY the same as on his CD's! Very good music, great weather and good friends. It doesn't get better than that!

Blog Date

Last night my sister and I met up for dinner with some of our blogging friends.... and some we had never met before. We of course had to go meet Mindi, and I had already met Amy. They are both so adorable, and as you can see - TALL. I look like a dwarf next to them. Mindi bore her "blestimony" about all her blogging buds and I just think she is the cat's meow! These are the rest of the chicks we were so lucky to meet. They're all darling and I can't wait to check out all their blogs now! The other's that I knew were Rachel, Kami and Tiburon. It was cool meeting them too, considering I stalk their blogs on a regular basis (see Rachel's blog for the rest of the girl's we met).
All I have to say girls is thanks for a great time... let's do it again soon! And for any bloggers or non-bloggers that think this is weird..... Don't knock it till you try it! :)

Amy... You're the Best!

Amy gave me this awesome award... I'm sure mosty out of pity for my poor little blog, but I'll take what I can get. So, thanks Amy for thinking of me!

Once again... Mindi's giving stuff away!

She's doing it again! Get over to Mindi's blog and enter to win this:
(a big fat bush and the letter "f"... what could possibly be better than that?)

What was she thinking???

I know I'm a little slow on talking about this, but I just watched the season finale of "The Bachelorette" last night. And seriously, what was Deanna thinking? I can't believe she picked Jesse over Jason! He is the cutest thing and would have treated her like a queen for the rest of her life. And, on top of it all, he goes running up to her thinking he was gonna be the one and she let him get down on one knee only to tell him NO! Crazy girl... that's all I have to say. Don't get me wrong, I like Jesse too... just not for her. Oh well, whatever. Her loss, and some other VERY LUCKY girl's gain!

The winner in my eyes...

Seriously?????

Another big shout out!

Another great blogging friend of mine, Devri is doing a giveaway on her blog! The following is what you could win, so get over to her blog and leave that girl a comment!

Memory Tag

I got this from Misty's blog. It sounds fun, except that a lot of the people that leave comments for me don't really know me in person, but oh well. I'll give it a try. Here's the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

OMG!!!

I just woke up this morning and DEVRI has completely changed my whole blog layout! Isn't it darling? I'm such a nimwit on the computer and couldn't figure out how to do it. She was so sweet and did if for me! This is a girl that I have never met before except through blogging. How awesome is that? Thanks so much Devri! I love it! Now everyone get over to her blog and check her out! :)

This one's for you Devri

My blogging bud, Devri has entered her daughter in a contest. She will win a trip to NY if she wins. Please help her out by voting for her HERE. Isn't she the cutest thing?!?
