Me: Stuff that is going on in my life

Well here I am. I survived another Monday at my work. How I hate Mondays.

So anywho, I have lots of stuff going on in my little corner of the world.

Over the weekend, I went dress hunting with Heather. Miriam and I dragged our poor children to this event with the promise of ice cream for good behavior (at least for my kid, Sophia is still too little for ice cream.) 

We went to David's Bridal and they had a decent selection. I think Heather tried on 5 dresses. And then it came to decision time, it was between two dresses that she loved equally. So she tried them both on again and we paraded her around. She finally decided on this one:

 

Don't worry Heather, I won't show this to Don!! 

This one either. :P

Also, we had some time to look at bridesmaid dresses. I got to be the model because Miriam had to leave. 

Dress one: Can either be with or without straps.

This was Heather's Favorite

Dress two: Picture this in a purple

Dress three: This one would also be in purple.

I liked this one because it had pockets, but I did not like my backside in it.

Poor Billy is like, "Mom!! Please! Let's get out of here...NOW!"

So there was our adventure at David's Bridal. Bride's dress? Check. One thing crossed off of the list. There still much, much more to do. LOL

So I graded my son's behavior as a B+ (I really gave him a C+ because I took points off for the Indiana Jones type stunts that he was pulling, jumping from chair to dias and dias to poor innocent brides-to-be. Good thing he's cute.)

So yes, I will admit it, I graded him higher so we could get ice cream. (I REALLY wanted one.)

Happy Friday!

Hey kids! TGIF! Here are some things that I cam across this week! Enjoy!

Father's Day is Coming!

Have you decided what you are getting dear old dad for Father's Day? Look no further!

It is everything that dad needs! It's a reclining chair and a go-cart all in one. Dad may never have to leave his favorite chair. I would definitely win "Daughter of the Year" if I got this for my dad!!

Man decorates basement with $10 worth of Sharpies

My boss sent me an email earlier in the week titled, "Fun Art Basement." I clicked on the link in my email and I was directed to a 360-degree view of a man's basement in Kentucky. According to Kentucky.com the man, named Charlie Kratez, spent $10 in magic markers and Sharpies and used them t0 convert his boring cream walls into a massive work of art. He has everything from Winston Churchill to Rocky & Bullwinkle. Check it out at: http://www.kentucky.com/147/story/532854.html 

And the award goes to...

As much as I liked watching Twilight win practically every award at the MTV Awards, the Bruno Best Male Performance presentation was a bit much. Or was it? As Bruno, an Austrian fashion reporter (aka Sacha Baron Cohen), flew through the air mumbling in his wacky accent, I thought, oh...this is going to end badly. He then lands spread eagle on Eminem's lap. A fight breaks out and then Zac Efron wins the award...it was all so confusing. A few days later it turns out the Eminem was in on the prank. Oh geez....

I think that Bruno kinda reminds me of Ben Stiller in Zoolander. What do you think?

As I mentioned before, Twilight won EVERYTHING (well almost) at the MTV Movie awards. I loved the movie. Don't get me wrong, but I honestly did not think that it was that great to win all those awards. 

I also loved the fact that Kristen Stewart dropped her Popcorn Award on the ground. That's totally something that Bella would have done. (And I am not being catty.)

Oh well. Time for the weekend to start!! I got a busy weekend between wedding dress shopping and kid birthday pool parties! Wish me luck!

PS - 40 days until HARRY POTTER!! Yes, it is sad that I am counting down, but who cares?!?

YOGAAAAAAHHHH!!

Hey there. I took my first official Yoga class today. I got to get in shape for my friend's wedding! Yes I know it is almost a year away, but you got to start sometime, right?

Soooo....I decided to take a Yoga class at my gym. It's part of the membership so had nothing to lose. I figured I would be a pro because I mastered it on my wii fit.

I was so wrong.

I felt muscles that I never knew existed.

The instructor had me doing the downward dog:

And planks:

Almost 50% of the time. Man, my abs ache. So do my arms. Who 'am I kidding? I ache all over.

I will do it again next Tuesday.

I will tell you how I feel tomorrow.

For those that are just as obsessed as me...

I watched the MTV movie awards last night. All I have to say that the New Moon trailer looks AWESOME and I cannot wait until November. I will talk about the Movie Awards a bit later as it is a busy day at work for me. Here's the New Moon trailer. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! :)
