Halloween 2008

We had an amazing Halloween. As you all know I am a Halloween lover. This year we all decided, ok, well, I decided, that we should dress up as Super Heroes. This year we played the new Disney Tinker Bell movie and Ironman on the big screen. Now I have to start thinking of a theme for next year!





I hope you all had an amazing Halloween too!

My Lesbian Lover

Ok, no, not really, but I am in love Jillian Michaels' body, especially her arms. I would kill to have guns like that! Anyway, here is a really good article about her views on weight loss. I love her even more now. Five things I learned from Jillian Michaels - read it and follow the links, I think it gives some pretty good advice, some that I should be following.

Me Making A Dessert??

I will be going to my 20th high school reunion planning meeting today and was asked to take a dessert. John thinks I am setting the bar too high. I am trying to make a good impression, so maybe this will do it.

HSM3

Took Baby Girl and two friends to the High School Musical 3 movie. I need a drink already!

Five Years, Yeah!!

Happy blogversary to me, Happy blogversary to me, Happy blogversary dear Chica, Happy blogversary to me!!! And many more!!!!

Today FIVE years ago I started blogging. In has been a fun ride. It just seems like yesterday that I was sitting in a little hotel room in Marion, IL. finally making the decision to start blogging. I have met some great people along the way and hope that the next five years are as much fun as these ones were. Thanks to everyone that takes time to read my blog and I promise and hope to be able to do more blogging and less twittering from now on.

Thanks!!

The internet

The internet has let me down! I usually rely on the internet to find pretty much everything in my life. I use it to find items for my kid's birthday parties, I use it to find long lost friends and to remind me why there are so, and I use it to search for any diseases I might be having. How else would I of known that was dying from a malignant tumor last year?! Anyway, the internet completely let me down this time.

How hard can it be to find a black mini dress with split-sleeves?? Huh??? It is nearly impossible. I have been searching for a couple of days now to no avail. I pretty much have had to settle for a tunic with 3/4 sleeves, which I am pretty sure will be way too short, I guess I will be flashing a some people. On top of that the dress, err tunic, I am settling for is costing me $158!

I am still kinda pissed off about this whole internet business. You would think that in today's day and age all I would have to do is type an item description and have the exact item I want just pop up. There would be no days on end looking for that magical dress that in my mind will make me look amazing. In a perfect world the item would just be there waiting for me...sigh.

Friday Night Fun

Yippie, I had a great time. We started FNF at Coaches Pub in Midtown. We had drinks and dinner (I think I was the only one eating, I hate when that happens), and then headed to the Tavern on Gray. It was fun, we just hung out and played pool. A nice night.

UH vs. UAB Game

I attended the UH vs. UAB game. My friend Mark invited me to attend the Delta Upsilon tailgating pre-game party. I had not hung out with the guys in ages, but since my horoscope said for me to try new things, I decided to go. I had fun even though the guys kept calling me MA'AM. Yeap, I felt old. On the plus side, I did see one of old-skool brothers; I guy that I hung out with back in the day. It was so much fun to see him again after almost 15 years. I guess I am old!

Saturday Night Fun

On Saturday I attended the Houston Tiara's Happy Hour at Mak Chin's. It was a lot of fun. I so enjoy going out and meeting new people (yeah, that makes me sound like a dork, but it's true).

Anyway, I left my tiara in the car so I ended up bumming off tiaras for the pics.



After the Happy Hour we headed to Shadowbar for my girl Milly's bday party.
