The last few days

This is a lot of random tidbits put together.  I apologize now, but sometimes you just need to dump all the things that have been going on recently...


We finally went out and purchased our yearly Christmas ornament!  Yep, every year since we started dating, we have gotten a snowman ornament for our tree.  I guess somehow this 15 year old knew that she'd still be with him and why not start on the memories.  I love pulling them out every year.  We make sure to get an ornament that has the date on it, so we will never forget. 

Friday was an all about me day.  I had the most AMAZING client (I now consider a friend) that gave me a spa day at Milk&Honey downtown.  I finally decided to take the day off and just enjoy it.  I got to sleep in and spend some time with the pups before heading out for a day of pampering.  I started off with a 60 minute massage, followed by a facial and then finished off with a manicure AND pedicure!  I can not tell you how great it was.  I feel like I should do that at least twice a year.  I have to share the amazing nail polish I got on both my nails and toes. 

I also got the most amazing buffet this last week!  I found the piece on Craigslist and added the legs!  The girl I got it from actually started doing the re-purposing for a living and you've got to check out her stuff on Facebook, Indie Home.  She is super sweet and her stuff is super affordable compared to others in Austin.  I love it.  It's a vintage grey finish and the original knobs.  I still need to fill it - that will be this weekend's project! 

Finally, to top off the amazing weekend, I had a girls night on Saturday.  A group of us met at The W downtown Saturday afternoon and then headed to blo to get our hair done.  Oh yeah, we got our hair did while sipping on some bubbly.

They have a menu of hair styles to choose from and I went the 'Hollywood' route, which basically means blown out with loose curls.   Here are a few images to share, but the good ones are going to stay hidden. 

After a little pregame in the hotel, we continued with dinner and lots of dancing.  We had an amazing time - enough said. 

Hope everyone's weekend was as great as mine!

Ridiculous Board Game

I love board games.  How can anyone resist a good dose of friendly competition.  Sunday night, a group of my friends, D, and I, decided to have a game night = Best idea ever.  My friends kept saying that we would be playing Quelf, and I had absolutely NO idea what I was getting myself in to.  This game is utterly ridiculously AMAZING. 

Joe, one of our friends, warned us we had to have a few drinks down before we started to play.  The 'rules' were explained to us, but they in no way prepare you for what you will be doing.  Basically you have to do what the card says... That's it, obey the cards.  I've played some silly games in the past, but this tops them all. 

No other game could have you doing the most random things.  For instance... Giving yourself a wedgie, chanting 'All hai the Chinese cheese biscuit' every time you roll a 1, secretly excusing yourself to the bathroom until someone comes and gets you.  D was in there for 11 minutes before we all realized.  I was the one that had to go 'release' him, just in case he really didn't get that card and he was in fact having issues. lol.  I also ran in slow motion across the room and had to put my thumbs in my mouth and at the same time touch my shoulders every time I talked and it wasn't my turn.  Hilarious.  D also got to get up and sing a song of his choice while keeping his tongue on his upper lip.  Basically it was a night of outrageous humiliating fun.  YOU HAVE TO TRY IT.

Here is to acting silly! B
