Woo!

Wooooo hoooooooo!!!!

I get to see Morrissey in concert after all! Just not in Houston with my pals Jane and Terry. Instead, I found out today that he’s going to be in Northern Virginia at the same time we will be (for Jenny’s baby’s christening) so I get to fulfill a dream I’ve had for at least fifteen years!

Woooo!!!!

Easter and CCC 10k

Sorry for the lack of posting! I’m lame. I know, I know.

Not much has been going on. Well, except for walking the Crescent City Classic last weekend with Teresa and Stephanie (and Liam in his stroller) and then hosting Easter at our house the following day for about a gajillion people. That was fun. (No, really, it was.)

See, now I accidentally just recapped every notable thing I’ve done in the past week and a half in once sentence. Oops. How ’bout if I post an Easter pic or two? Will that help?

Lotta food:

Liam is really cute:

Oh yeah, and there’s exciting news afoot from one of my regular readers, but I am not at liberty to say what it is just yet. Regular Reader, you know who you are….

Congrats Mike and Kristina!

I know I have been remiss in posting (sorry, Julie! tee hee!) and I really should go get ready for work right now, but I will leave you with this lovely photo from the wedding:


And a link to lots more.

Sigh. I just found out Morrissey is touring again. And I won’t get to see him. It’s the saddest thing in the world.

Our creeping thyme is growing. Hard to believe, but true.

Kristina’s wedding is in eleven days. I’m leaving a week from tomorrow to go to South Carolina for it. Hard to believe, but true. I think she had the world’s longest engagement. Nah, it only felt that way.

I do wish I had more exciting things to say. But honestly, I don’t. Sorry.

Okay, post post post…

Busy, tiring weekend. Planted seeds in the front yard strip thingy. Got a little sunburn, even. That was exhausting. Took a nice long nap after that.

(See? Aren’t you regretting you even came here? I’m boring you to tears.)

Yesterday was Friendship Day. That was fun. Here are some pictures

Can you believe Kristina’s wedding is in less than three weeks? Me neither. I have less than three weeks to lose 30 pounds and get my dress altered. It’s gonna be tough. Ha!

Who wants to see pictures of the shower?

They’re here. There are also tons of pictures of Ava, Jenny’s friend Monica’s daughter. Holy cow, I wanted to take her home with me, she’s so freaking cute. And look at Charlotte the ham! And Max. They’re all so cute!

Ooof, am sore today! Kettie came in this weekend and we did the Mardi Gras half-marathon yesterday. We did pretty good, I think, considering neither of us really trained for it.

We also went and saw Music and Lyrics on Saturday. I have to see it again, I loved it. And I’m humming the songs, can’t get them out of my head. Ack! Highly recommend it.

Also got some sky-high heels for Kristina’s wedding. Must practice wearing them. They are uber-dreamy, though.

Who watched the Oscars? Chris won the pool this year. Congratulations, Chris! If only I’d voted for the Departed for best picture. Oh well, I went out on a limb with LMS. (And I watched the Departed right before the Oscars came on. Still not sure I would have changed my vote.)

Jenny’s shower is this weekend. I think Miss Emily is going to end up a very well-dressed baby, thanks to Aunt Pam.

Well, I did tell George I wanted chocolate…

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Fun stuff!

Do you ever have so much fun, that you’re almost jealous of yourself? Last night I had dinner with my friend Laurie, and it was just so nice. I hardly ever see her because she works full time (at night) and takes care of her son during the day. Yow! Speaking of her son, he is the sweetest pumpkin ever. His birthday party was on Sunday. Much fun was had playing on kid’s gym equipment.

Also had a fun weekend. Did Mary Kay facials on Saturday, and ended up buying the microdermabrasion kit. It’s amazing. Amazing. No kidding, I can’t wait to get my kit so I can have baby-soft and lineless skin.

Had fun with camera, too, but didn’t take as many pictures as I’d have liked to. My battery died at Elliot’s party, so I only got three pictures of the cake before it conked out.

Ran five miles on the treadmill at the gym last night. Hope I can maintain the losses I’ve had for the last few weeks!

Must continue to run lots. Kettie and I are doing the half marathon on the 25th. Eeeps!

Okay okay, sorry I haven’t posted. I’ve been v busy. I finally got all of Kristina’s wedding invitations mailed (they’re in boxes, so it was quite a feat getting them stamped and everything.) which is what took up most of the week’s free time.

However, I’m pleased to say that in spite of the ticker on the left, I have been losing a tiny bit of weight. Must update that thing.

This weekend will be fun. Girl’s day tomorrow, complete with facials. And Sunday is a one year old’s birthday party. Caaaake! And v exciting – I’m getting a digital SLR camera! It’s used, but I know it’s in good shape so I’m so freaking excited about getting it. I have a feeling I’ll be taking a lot of pictures this weekend…

Ahh, it’s nice knowing I don’t have to go anywhere this weekend. Except Harahan. That’s okay, that’s not very far away. I can handle that.

Made my butternut squash crack soup again the other day. Hot damn, that stuff is good. I am butternut squash crack soup genius. I think it even puts the Five Spice Pork Tenderloin to shame. Can you believe it? Not me.

Weight loss is going somewhat better. I finally FINALLY after 4 months, got my five pound star! Yes indeedy, five pounds in four months. At this rate, I’ll be sixty by the time I get to my goal weight. Ah well, I’ll be a hot old lady. That’s cool.
