New Ideas, New Vision!

This past weekend I was at a Halloween party and having a couple cocktails (Don't judge because some of my best ideas come to me when I am drinking a cocktail, as most of you know)....

and the hosts of the party and I were talking all about reality TV, fashion, and more reality TV when the host said that he thought it would be a good idea for me to blog about these outlets rather than my usual day-to-day activities like work, being tired, etc., etc.... BORING!

********LIGHT BULB!!!!!!!!******

So, that is exactly what I'm going to do. Let's talk fashion, drama, reality tv, the fabulous life, movies, cocktails, restaurants, lifestyles and DIVAS.

After I hadn't blogged for about 5 months, I knew I needed something to get excited to talk about and blog about. So...I'll test it out and see where it takes us.

P.S. Look at my new beanie from Anthropologie....It's BEYOND (& it'll keep me warm in New Jersey over Thanksgiving)!!!

Out of Control!!!

Ok....so this no blogging since the summer has gotten way out of control. I plan to revamp my blog and have a new focus within the next week or two! In the meantime...here is who I ran into last night at Game 5 of the World Series....Yes, fellow Techster PAT GREEN! *Notice he has a beer can in his hand outside of the Ballpark in Arlington....what?!?!!!!

Summer so far...

I can't believe we are almost to July!!! This summer has been sooo much fun so far. Here is a quick update and some highlights of what we've been up to:

Every weekend has been spent at the pool. Lady loves going to the pool as well and her new trick is hopping on the floats while I push her around and then she gets back off!

Lady and I at my parent's pool....


Nick and I have gone out a couple of nights and this was a great pic from going out to Lemmon Bar in the West Village. Scott Mankoff took the pic and he was awesome taking lots of pics for us that night!!!
Nick and I have also been playing softball with some fellow Berkner grads and here are two of my favorite girls from our team, Laurin (who I went to junior high and high school with) and Kim who is such a joy and a new friend! We are not playing softball in this pic but rather having some cocktails at Fox and Hound!

Our summer has been quite simple as we have gone to the pool every weekend, been playing softball every Friday night (we made it to playoffs and almost beat the 1st place team), and watching some (well maybe a lot) of reality TV!

We are taking out annual trip to Lake Murray in a couple of weeks which I can't wait for!

Finally, last Saturday was Lady's 1st Birthday, so I will leave you with a couple pics of her enjoying her new toys. Back to work and ttys!

Southbound 35

"Southbound 35, We were headed down the road" (thanks Pat Green)...

This past weekend, Nick and I traveled to Austin to see my beautiful little sissy and her boyfriend. We did tons of fun "ACTIVITIES" (Thank you Step Brothers) and here are some pics of our fun filled afternoon and evening:

@Herbert's Taco Hut in San Marcos. Best Mexican food EVERRRR!!!!
Went out on Dirty 6th to the Aquarium (Our favorite bar ever!)

Update!!

How has it been 20 days since I last blogged?!?! I have been extremely busy with work and fixing things at our house because something breaks every single day! I'm worn out, but that's ok! I just started my swimsuit diet yesterday and so far so good. I managed to control myself while out to eat last night at Kelly's Eastside in downtown Plano which was a fun new spot to discover. I figure if I have a small breakfast, a Lean Cuisine for lunch, and then a "healthier" dinner with less alcohol, then I will be in good shape come June. This is the first year that I have not gotten a new swimsuit by this point, but I am in no mood (yet)!!

I am also very excited because I got tickets to Carrie Underwood. They are front row (for once Ticketmaster did not disappoint) and I have to wait until October for the show to roll into town. Last time Carrie came to DFW, I missed the show and heard how amazing it was and told myself that I had to catch her the next time she came. I'm so excited.

A couple weeks ago, Nick and I had the pleasure of taking my grandparents to a Mavericks regular season game for their 68th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!!! Mimi knows all of the Mavs by name and Dirk is her favorite player. It was so much fun to go with them and I think they had a blast! Dustin even managed to announce their anniversary on the jumbo tron below.

Finally, on a sad note, I wanted to send special prayers to The Fenner Family for the loss of Lindsay's mom this past week. It is always sad to lose a loved one having just lost my uncle a couple weeks back. We are all praying for you.

I gave in!

So yesterday, I gave in, and got a membership to....Lifetime Fitness. I'm very excited about going to the new gym, but am dreading the fact that now I have no excuse not to go to the gym.

I love coming home from work and playing with Lady, relaxing, watching some TV and just hanging out. At our old complex in The Village, we had a "free" gym that was so convenient and really nice to work out in. Since we moved out of the apartment about a month and a half ago, I have had a very lazy workout attitude and I need to get back into the swing of things.

Lifetime has lots of great classes that I am interested in, and I'm anxious to get in shape for summertime!! Usually, by this time I have gone looking for swimsuits and I think this year I have just been dreading it! I think my waistline will soon love Lifetime! Wish me luck!

My Spring Break = 3 Day weekend!

I do not get spring breaks anymore like some of my teacher friends, and it kinda sux, but it makes a 3 day weekend that much sweeter. Today is my Friday because my dad gave us off tomorrow and I am beyond pumped!!

I have already booked a massage and plan to get my nails done! I also plan to lounge on a patio for several hours and drink some yummy drinks and pretend I am in Jamaica!

I also plan to rest up for Sunday because (as usual) it will be a marathon holiday with my family and Nick's family. We always have a blast, but try to cram as much in as possible.

And on another fun note, I got my mom and I tickets for her birthday to Wicked in late May when it swings through Dallas. I am so excited!

TGI...Thursday!
