It's my fault.

Hey yall.

You are probably thinking that I gave up on yall, aren't ya.... well I haven't. Hooray.

I'm just going to throw it out there and tell you, I'm a bad blogger. I would say I've been busy and give you some excuses, but I'm quite sure everyones been really busy lately, and a lot of people are still posting. So this one goes on my permanent record yall.

I will admit I've been way overwhelmed here lately. Most of the time I feel like I'm not actually interacting with people who live on my planet. Not to mention occasionally I simply shut down. When I say shut down, I mean hiding in a corner rocking.... cookoos nest.

Hopefully I will be recovering pretty soon and back to normal... or at least what we usually perceive as normal.... right?!

Ciao

How Pinteresting... THURSDAY??!

I missed my most favorite day of the week yesterday!! I'm not saying I haven't been a pinning fool, but I didn't get to share it with yall. 

So I'm doing today. Yes, that was a declaration. I think I have found some really neat things lately. 

Raspberry and Key Lime Margarita?! Yes, please.

I love this option for wedding pictures, family pictures, any pictures really. 

I have a really nice, large, master bathroom... that has ZERO space.... or maybe I've used all (and I mean every least inch) of space I had... so I'm trying to find aesthetically pleasing alternatives for "space".

 Obviously from my bathroom space search... but how cute?!

 I don't think I'm cool enough to pull this look off, but I can keep wishing. 

 I am going to put one of these in the office. How stinkin' cute. No more nasty, rusty, ol cabinet!!

 I am going to find somewhere to put these up at home. Perfect for holding my ever growing collection of knick knacks, that are starting to become what some may consider "clutter" around the house! :)

Aren't you glad that I decided to share even though it's not technically Wednesday?! I'm not about to let a little thing like Wednesday stop me.

Delivering on a Promise.

I managed to take pictures on three different cameras. Therefore, my pictures are all out of order. So here goes the promise Vegas pics!!

 I had to edit this picture. Without a nice little effect on this picture, I'm scary pale. 

I am rethinking giving the Versa tan a try. I need it.

This would be upon our arrival at the Hard Rock Hotel, we stopped for some lunch at Mr. Lucky's

 Then we decided to walk the strip, we stopped into the MGM to check out the lion cubs!

 Then it was on to New York New York. Mags and I in front of the Statue of Liberty... what?!

 Then a nice stranger offered to take a picture for us. I was a little hesitant that I would hand it to him and he would run. Once I handed it to me he said... as a joke... and now I'm going to take off with your camera. I panicked for a millisecond, guilty.

This would my MY dessert plate at the Wynn buffet. I think I only ate dessert!

Maggie and Lee shared a Big Kahuna... which smoked cause it had dry ice in it. It was pretty cool, but I'm pretty sure if you touch dry ice it gives you instant frost bite or something... and it came without a warning. We are soo dangerous! 

I figured I'd say goodbye with this picture. We decided to black out one of UH's teeth at the Pink Taco, a restaurant in The Hard Rock... ya know, like the Hangover guy. We actually asked the restaurant for the permanent marker to do so... they were kind enough to give it to us!

P.S. - Permanent marker does come off your teeth... thank heavens!

Wanted: Dead or Alive

Good news... I'm alive!

I should also probably mention that we made it back from Vegas in once piece, mostly. I'm pretty sure we walked at least 30 miles though, so our feet were so sore to say the least.

I would defiantly call it a success though. I will have to upload some pictures for y'all. Of course I didn't take as many as I would have liked to, but at least I have some share with you.

This weekend was a pretty quite one, we had some sleep to catch up on after all. I think I fell asleep at 8 pm on Saturday! I'm such an old lady, eh!?

Pictures soon, I promiiiise!!

The Power of Love

Don't worry, this isn't going to be a mushy post about actual love. Rather, I thought I'd tell you what happened this past weekend!!! 

This girl went to see Huey Lewis and the News at Billy Bob's with UH and our best friends. 

If you don't know who Huey Lewis is, I'll forgive you. Chances are you know his music, even if you can't place the band. It may also help to mention that he hit his prime in the music industry in the 80's.... 

 We got some great pictures though and even a video or two!! 

The new friend me made that we asked to take our picture, decided to get a little creative. Hence, the lean.

 Mags and Me!

 UH and me with some Huey action in the background.

 I also tamed a bear.... what?!

Billy Bob's is a huge honky tonk bar in Fort Worth. So big they have several "stages", pool tables, rooms, gift shops, food. It's almost like an amusement park. 

I will confess I totally asked if they had a mechanical bull... cause I wanted to give it a try. Turns out they only have real ones to ride... uhh PASS!

 

Bad Friend

I've been a bad friend. I'm sorry.

I feel like I have claimed a million times before that it's been crazy hectic, but it really has been. 

I work for a company that just launched the new iPhone 4s and things have not made sense since! 

Blame that!!! k?!

Things don't seem to be settling down now either. So it seems I have a lot to share with you. 

Starting with where we will be this week.... 

Any guess?!

And boy am I excited. We are actually hopping on a plane today!!! I will be back in a week, but in the mean time I figured I'd try filling yall in on the DL!!

Me, crafty?!

Alright so low and behold I got a little crafty last night and I thought I would share my efforts with y'all.

You've ll seen the awesome Pinterest pins of door wreaths lately, right?

Being the skeptic I am I figured it wasn't actually possible or plausible to make "cute" felt flowers.... I my have been wrong though.

I promise I thought about busting out my dslr to document this for you, but I didn't... So your stuck with lame phone pictures. I'm a work in progress.

I will say I only spent something like 10 dollars in this project, so I'm happy with it. I am not happy with the blisters on my fingers from burning myself with the hot glue gun though!

The felt roses.

Finished project. It numbers look slightly crooked, I don't think they are though....?
