Best Night Ever! (Until the next one, of course :)).

Bride's wedding has come and gone. The girl looked STUNNING!!! Granted, she would look stunning in a potato sack, so it was not a surprise. :). The wedding was very nice and simple. That was a good thing since it was held outside on the 18th hole at the Four Season's Resort and Spa. Outside.... people, it was hot as freaking heck yesterday. I was lucky and got to hang out at the Bridal Villa until time for the ceremony. I can't imagine having to sit out there even longer. The wedding started a bit late so they had cool towels and ice water out to cool people off. I forgot to take my camera so when Bride gets back from her honeymoon and posts pictures, I will share. The bridesmaids wore a crimson red -- very very pretty. Since I was the guest book attendant I hoped a golf cart quickly and got back for the cocktail hour. That was the excuse anyway -- I just wanted to get inside and get some more ice water in me!

There was a cocktail time while the bridal party took the pictures and I got to mingle with the guests (pretty much scoop out the cutie single guys -- I had the perfect excuse to chat people up :)). There were some interesting folks at the wedding. Groom knows LOTS of people -- State Senators, Sundance Film Festival Winners, etc...... It was an interesting mix of personalities and I spent a lot of conversations just listening and taking in the information. I did chat up one cutie at the guest book table and come to find out he was sitting at my table. I am pretty certain Groom did this on purpose. Sneaky Groom! I had a great time and the dinner was pretty good. Now, they cut the cake and then served it from the kitchen and I was out on the dance floor getting my boogie on. Totally missed cake service. I missed Wedding cake!! It wasn't really worth stalking a waitstaff person for the cake though, so I just dealt with it.

Me and cute guy from the table chatted some more and we have a lot in common. It will be interesting to see what happens. He lives in Kansas City, MO at the present time so that kind of stinks, but I guess whatever is supposed to happen will happen.

So that is it! It was a good weekend and I apparently now have a cookout to attend at 5. Not a bad Sunday :). Everyone have a great day!!!

Feeling Human today

Yesterday I was in such a fog -- today I look and feel so much better! While it doesn't really feel like a Friday, I will accept that fact and that we are looking at a 3 day weekend. Yay! This weekend will be pretty busy, at least tonight and tomorrow.

But first, why was I a zombie yesterday? Jen and I went to see the Midnight showing of SATC 2. Yes, midnight. Really, I never thought I was a die hard, must see the movie the moment is opens, type of person. However, we did it. It wasn't the best ever but if you are a SATC fan, you will enjoy it. Truthfully though, if you didn't follow the series and the first movie, you might not like it. It is totally getting panned in the reviews. I liked it but I went in with NO expectations. I went in to be entertained and to see all the clothes and shoes I will never be able to afford. I found a few outfits I really really wanted!! The movie was a bit too long as well. They could have cut some parts out but I still did enjoy the movie and my time with my friend. :)

Last night, I was actually supposed to see the movie again for a bachelorette outing however the bride was sick and really stressed so there was no festivities celebrating her upcoming nuptials (there is a post rehearsal reception tonight, so she will still get some fun!). The wedding is the weekend, so I really hope she feels better!

Speaking of the wedding, that will be why I am busy tonight and tomorrow. Bride asked if I would be the guest book attendant. I love it -- the easiest job I can do and I am still in the bridal party :). Because of this, I am invited to the rehearsal and the rehearsal post party at Cool River tonight. I won't be able to make the Rehearsal because it start at 6 and I don't get off work until 4:30. I really don't need to rehearse anyway so I am not too torn up about it. She understands. I will see them at the post party at 7:15. That gives me time to search for a dress for tomorrow. I still haven't found one that I really want. I have seen some online, however finding it in the stores is a bit difficult. I have 3 places to try tonight before the party. I should have gone last night but I was so exhausted - I just went home and hit the bed early! It was the right decision :). Since the wedding doesn't start tomorrow until 6:00, I should be okay if I can't find the dress tonight. I will offer to come early though, in case Bride needs some "day of" help. She probably has a wedding coordinator, however it never hurts to ask. Especially since my duties consist of standing there and pointing to a book to sign. I can do more if needed :).

(And here's hoping for some cute, single Groomsmen....)

Come Sunday and Monday, I will be resting and just winging it. There are no plans set in stone, however i am sure I will have at least one or two activities to keep me busy. I have a few friends who have mentioned getting together, so we shall see.

So, everyone have a wonderful Friday. Perfect weather (despite the Orange air alerts, which now make me wonder where my emergency inhalers are....). Later!!

wrap-up

Saturday's baby shower was very nice. I really wasn't in the mood to be social but the hostesses did a great job and Regan got some great stuff for her twin girls. The next baby shower I go to will be in a few months (the next friend having a baby in due in Dec) so I got some great ideas for gifts for her. I am not sure why I wasn't in a social mood -- I wasn't feeling that great but still!!! She had a great event and that is all that matters. I did see Iron Man 2 last night with a friend and that was a great movie. It is totally what you would expect from a good action summer movie! I didn't even remember half of the first Iron Man, and it was still good. The next movie I see will be Sex and the City 2 ( and I will see it 2x in less than 24 hours - that story to follow later!!!). I am looking forward to it :).

I am flipping between Lost and Celebrity Apprentice right now. I never watched either but nothing else is on. I only care who the winner is of Celebrity Apprentice so I am waiting until the end to flip back. Bret Michaels better win. I never watched Lost and so the series finale means nothing to me. I have no idea what is going on! :). So, I am just waiting until Donald Trump announces the winner for Apprentice. I have about an hour. Since I have half watched this season, I don't care about the final challenge... just want to know the winner.

Everyone have a great Sunday night -- time to get ready for the week! It will be a long but fun one :). I expect to have some great stories next Sunday!!!

Friday!

The week has ended and all is good. For some reason, it has been a long one. Not sure why! (They all seem to be long but hey, that's life)

This weekend will be pretty good. I don't plan on much tonight, however tomorrow I am attending a baby shower and going to see Iron Man 2. Can't wait for both! It should be a fun time. :)

Anyway, more later. 15 min and I can take off. It is a beautiful day (okay, so a bit humid, but I will deal) and I can't wait to get my booty out that door. Have a great weekend!!!

Baby Lemur takes over Thursday

A lemur from www.cuteoverload.com. Look at this one long enough and you will start to laugh. At least I did :). This will be me next week, by the way!!! Lots of fun happenings in the future.

(take a look at www.cuteoverload.com for more lemur fun and other cute critters)

Lasers Away

Okay, it might be funnier if I cropped it closer, but I don't have that software on this computer. :).

Weekend overview

It has been a fun weekend! Here is a brief overview:

Friday night I met Jen for dinner at the Melting Pot. Oh my, I forgot the awesomeness of this place! So, so yummy. We were placed in a room that would have been perfect had Jen and I been on a date :). Our booth was in the middle of 3, so we did get to hear 3 dates that came and went while we were there. The first date was a couple getting married in 2 weeks. The second was a first date (we predict this relationship won't last....). The last was very sweet -- they have been married 11 years and I think this was an anniversary dinner. He had roses for her and they were served champagne. I wanted to be on that date!

Our waiter was pretty awesome. He knew the menu, kept us laughing, brought me some yummy martinis. Try the Yin/Yang drink but beware it is definitely more of a dessert drink. It was awesome, however it was ice cream and massive amounts of chocolate. Definitely a dessert drink! We were there for a few hours and had some great laughs. Thanks girl!!!

Saturday night I ended up at the Ginger Man in Uptown. I haven't been there in ages and it was fun to go back. It was the birthday party for someone I had never met. I knew his friend and it was one of those "more the merrier" things. The Ginger Man is a great place to people watch and there were some pretty cute boys. I had fun and stayed a lot longer than I thought I was going to - always a good sign.

Today, I went to see "Little House on the Prairie" at the Dallas Summer Musical with my Mom. It isn't one that I would have just clamored to go see, however it was pretty good. The music was fun, it was a good story, and the acting was good. Melissa Gilbert played "Ma" and she was great. She can't sing all that well, however she owns it and tried. I appreciated that. The girl who played Laura just rocked it and Nellie Olson was awesome. You need a ham in each musical and Nellie was that ham :). I never read the books as a kid and I really wasn't into the TV show, but dang it, now I need to download the books to the Kindle.

Now I am catching up on Grey's Anatomy. I am almost caught up. Owen is a moron and I really don't miss Izzie. Now I need to catch up on "Criminal Minds". None of them are morons and I would miss them all!

Simon kind of looks evil here.
