Royal Wedding Loot!

HOW COULD I FORGET THIS!?!?!?!?


I showed up to N's on Saturday to get ready for the 80's prom...and what was before my eyes?

My Best English Friend, Louise, sent me ALL SORTS of Royal Wedding stuff!!!!! If you could have only seen the dance I did when I was opening all of it up! HOW FUN!!! There was more stuff too! Geez! I'm a lucky gal.

Louise! CAN. NOT. WAIT. for our Skype Tea Party!!



Memorial Day Weekend!

What a fabulous weekend we had! Where do I even begin??

I'm not sure what I did Friday, or if that even matters..because Saturday we  (N and I) went to an 80's prom!! We had such a fabulous time and...I'm pretty sure we looked the best! A weird electronic/new wave guy. But after that..it was rocking! What a great time! A Flock of Seagulls was supposed to be there as well..but they cancelled. Whatever..We still looked rad! 

Sunday, my sister had a little get together at her house for Memorial Day. It was great to see the two younger nephews swimming with their little big friends and all the good stuff to eat! Unfortunately the husband had to work, again, so I went married single. It never gets any easier. Before I went over there, I decided to whip together a little somethin-somethin. Vanilla cupcakes with amaretto (light amaratto) buttercream. Super good! I'm all about a cute cupcake stick/flag and liner. It just makes a broing cupcake...more fabulous. :)

On Monday, we went to the Husband's grandma's house. Its always so great and welcoming there. We go to eat the BEST steak in the world with equally as good twice baked potatoes. Yum! I bet you wish I had a picture of that, huh? We visited with all sorts of family and especially his cousin who is in the Army. After all, isn't this what this past Monday was about?

My Heroes.

Here is my Grandpa / Poppies. He is a WWII veteran and one of the most influential people in my life. He passed away Memorial Day 2008.

This is my fabulous cousin, Johnny. USMC to the core and I could not be any more proud of him, even if I wanted to. He has always been an amazing person. He's the proud husband and daddy to a beautiful wife and sun. I miss this guy!!

This Memorial Day was filled with so much fun, friends, and family. I could not have planned a better weekend (well, maybe The Husband being off would have been cool). Having my Poppies pass away on Memorial Day always makes this weekend a little bit harder for me. For the past few Memorial Days, I make the trip to San Antonio to decorate my Poppies' grave and to talk to him. Thats normal, isn't it? Whatever! It makes me feel better, at least.

Happy Memorial Day, yall!

Long time no post, huh?

The things that can turn a girls frown upside down. It does not take much to make me happy or put a smile on mine face. After my past few crap weeks, last week was one for the books.

Monday- I've been calling the radio station for weeks trying to get on in the morning for this game they play call "Can't Beat Maria." Its a pop culture game where you try to stump the host. When I say I've been calling for weeks..I mean I've called 3 times in the past 3 weeks..and 3rd time was a charm!!! I was on the radio and lost to Maria by .5 a point. :( BUT..they still gave me the Britney Spears tickets! So pumped to be going! Its funny everyone keeps telling me to sell them. REALLY?! I want to go so bad!


Tuesday- We decided to go buy a car.

yep. Just like that. Walked in at 130p. Drove out at 345p...In this beauty..

Wednesday- Actually Wednesday sucked, but I was still on a new car high.

Thursday- I found out I got an A and a B in my classes. WHEW. I busted my ass this semester and Im glad it showed!

Friday-Saturday are a blur.

Sunday- I got to spend the day at the beach with Nichole! It was fabulous. The sunburn..not so much. But Im good today.

All in all it was a fabulous week. :)

The Royal Wedding.

Let me start off by saying...

Yes I totally had my fabulous friend Louise attempt to contact me when it was happening LIVE for her! (seeing as she's in London :) ) Well that didn't work. so thank goodness I recorded 3 different stations coverages of it, and also watched it when I got to work..on loop...all day.

And yes, I did come home and make some tea and eat some biscuits (and maybe possibly wore my cool hat) while I watched the highlights.

I  have no shame.


Talk about a real life fairy tale. Going from THIS....to THIS!

There's just a little bit of a difference there, huh?



Not to be cliche, but the wedding was fabulous. I love that Westminster Abbey created such an intimate service for them...even though there was over a thousand guests. Was I the only one that thought that? I understand, I only watched across the pond...in my TV and all, but really. The aisle was insanely long, but the seating was very intimate for guests.


And lets get to the best part..

:) SO sweet.

And to finish up..

I'm so glad Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice decided to choose their hats from the Lady Gaga: Royal Collection. Fabulous, ladies.

Much better.

What to say about my last post? Im pretty sure it was the medicine they've put me on. It was like PMS in a bottle. Nothing would make me happy and The Husband would not answer my phone calls or frantic text messages. Do I blame him? Im pretty sure they were very nuerotic. Thank God for great friends :) and family for talking me off the ledge. I'm normally a happy go lucky kind of girl, but for some reason I just got a little nutty. I apologize for that. I thought about deleting said post, but I'd prefer to look back at it when I'm feeling the same way next month...to know ITS. O.K.


Lets move on to something a little fun ..shall we?
