Quoting my Sista

Had to pull out an old pic to go with my story today. I called my dear sista, Jenn, to catch up on everything and fill her in on my day. Chef and I had our radio cranked up and the Spice Girls came on. He was still chattering away and I wasn't paying a bit of attention. I told him we had to stop and listen to the Spice Girls. Then we had to sing along. Come on, it's THE Spice Girls! Hilarious, I know... but Jenn and I once won a dance off at one of her famous slumber parties because we danced to the Spice Girls. Anyway, the longer we chatted, we ended up talking about some other things and people we know and then, my favorite quote of the day came from Jenn. She said and I quote, "I miss you. I have no one to be mean with." That's my Jenn. One of the best partners-in-crime I have ever had and up until we became best friends, one of the meanest chicks I 'd ever met. :0)

This line-up includes: Back Row - (left to right) Me, Jenn, Mal, Hollie Jane, Paige. Front Row: Whit, Emily, and Jessica.

My other favorite quote came from Lover. This conversation alone will tell you how the day at the Marriott started:

Lover: "Word of the Day, Xanex."

Me: "Number of the Day, Two."

Lover: "As in 2 Xanex."

Me: "Unless it's possible to have more without killing over..."

Here's Lizzie!

Didn't get a pic today, so I'm breaking out another from the Birthday Party! Here's my sweet dog, Lizzie aka Lulu. She's always up to pose for a pic. She's absolutely a mess in this one... she's obviously been for a swim in the pond. How cute is that face?! We're hoping she is going to have some pups in August... that's still TBD. :0)

BlAnK CaNvAs PaRtY!!!

Sister and I have been having some fun... We went to a Blank Canvas party. It's like Sips and Strokes, only without the sips. It was SO MUCH FUn! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. We were all supposed to paint the same thing with some "professional" teaching us how to do it. These are crosses. Again, Blogspot has flipped them sideways, so turn your head to the left and you can see our masterpieces. I don't think we'll be overtaking Michaelangelo or DaVinci anytime soon. Of course, Sister's is the purple and mine is the blue. She did better than me. Mine's a bit fat. There were a ton of people there from all different ages. Our age all the way up to pretty old. I was sitting by two of the coolest ladies from my church. They were telling me how they take ceramics classes on Thursday nights. I think I might just have to take that up. We had so much fun doing this ~ and they said it was much easier. Fun times. :0)

Happy Happy Birthday!!

How cute is this?! Happy 18th to my cat!! We celebrated in the normal crazy Tittle fashion.. she even had a few friends over. Lizzie sat perfectly for her pic to be taken..
then ended up stealing the rest of the tuna after the party was over. You can see her nose in the close-up pic. Too funny. JJ and Fred were also there, but they didn't really go for the whole photo op thing. Fun times!! :0)

Happy 18... You'll Never Guess Who!!

I missed her b'day because we had a bit of a wedding to attend, so tomorrow, I will be throwing my annual BIG BIRTHDAY BASH for my.... cat! My dear Ko-Ko, best friend I ever had, just turned the big 18!!! We took to calling her "Nubbs" after Mom decided to have her declawed, thus the name on her crown. Every year she has a can of Tuna and we have a sign, balloons, and every once in a while, she'll humor me and wear a crown... at least long enough for a pic. This is what I had to create tonight. I think it's her prettiest yet. :0)

Rolling Stones!!!

Well, I've tried 3 different ways to make this pic stand right-side-up. Obviously, something is a bit off, so just lean your head to the left and you'll see my new t-shirt. I found this wonderful find at my favorite little consignment shop in town, conveniently located next to the Rice Box. I also got a gorgeous, strapless, Banana Republic dress for $6.00. I found a Brown and white, polka-dotted retro dress for $6.50. Very sophisticated. However, I could not leave the joint without this FABULOUS Rolling Stones t-shirt. It's the greatest, most wonderful shirt I've ever had. I'm in love. And to make it even cooler, look closely and you and you can see that it has red rhinestones!!! Best. Shirt. Ever. :0)

Update ~ Happy Birthday, Chuckie!

2 Things...
First, the Peanut Butter and Oreos were EXACTLY what we needed. They were a hit. I have given them the name, "Trailer Park Hors D'Ouerves". Chef makes bruschetta, I make Oreos with Peanut Butter on top. IT was hysterical. Everyone was asking me how you make them. Seriously. Peanut Butter on top of an Oreo. I'm not quite the cultured culinarian, but that I can handle. The other part of our day invovled a Happy Birthday for my buddy Chuckie. He's the chief Engineer guru around the hotel. Lover called to tell me it was Chuckie's birthday so I wanted to make him a toilet cake. Chef decided I should probably go with a plunger as that would be easier. So, Chuckles got a plunger cake. I did hit the gas a little too hard on the way to work so the plunger ended up looking like roadkill, but he loved it all the same. Fun day! :0)
