Dear God, thanks for my outfit!

Oh.My.Goodness! I just caught up on last weeks episode of The Hills and was floored when Spencer and Heidi were saying their blessing before dinner and she actually said "And, thank you for my outfit." Seriously? Between him almost getting a vasectomy and her trying to trick him into getting her pregnant, pure craziness! If these two procreate the world better WATCH OUT for mini me Speidi! I love that they provide me with endless entertainment because let's face it, nothing is better than two spoiled rich kids being "real." I just LOVE that show, I am so lame but own it proudly! :o)

Happy Thanksgiving!

May your stuffing be tasty

May your turkey plump,

May your potatoes and gravy never have a lump.

May your yams be delicious,

And your pies take the prize,

And may your Thanksgiving dinner

Stay off your thighs!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

I hope you get to spend the holiday with those that mean the most to you!

P.S. Dad- we will save the dark meat for you...6 months to go! :o)

Blogger Survey

This is for Sarah, who posted on hers and asked us to do the same:


1. What is your favorite thing to snack on while your blogging? I really hate to type and eat only because typing is honestly one of my favorite things. It is relaxing. Don't get me wrong, I do love to eat tho!

7. What's your all time favorite movie? Couldn't pick just one!

10. What's one strange thing you're really good at? I can vacuum like nobodies business and I like the lines to be perfectly straight from all angles of the room. Then, I don't go in that room for awhile so it stays perfect! My mom used to beg me to vacuum growing up.

20. Would you want to be famous? Famous for something good, making a change/difference absolutely! Don't think I have any acting ability!

Viva Las Vegas!

So, we took a 4 day getaway to Las Vegas. It was fun if you enjoy touring hotels, shopping and seeing shows but the people are crazy! We are definitely more cruising/beach people. We did get some shopping done at Miracle Mile, enjoyed some fine dining and saw a show. Here's a few pictures. Steakhouse 46 they are filming the new Will Farrell movie here. The set was being put up. He never came out except for the shot. The street was blocked and in this scene he comes out and his car is being towed. People were photographing everywhere!
The M&M 4 story candy store....not sure why my head is tilted but I am holding the green one-my fav! Also, look at every flavor!

My personal favorite-Paris! It did meet my expectations and was accurate enough (as a hotel could be) trying replicate the real thing. We did a great dinner at the Village inside the hotel. Crab legs, prime rib, shrimp, fabulous desserts. It was one of the best places we ate! You know Paris has a special place in my heart, so it was fun.

I also liked The Venetian and gondola setting--Paris was still the best.Picture from a crossing bridge. Vegas is definitely prettier at night!

The Stratosphere, highest point, great views. Looks like the space needle.

Criss Angel, Cirque Du Soleil BELIEVE show...man you can't take a picture of anything! As Bon Qui Qui would say "Sa-Quirt-E" (security). The show was very creative and who knew just how hot Criss Angel was, not me! You know how he is famous for the freaky rabbit ( I didn't know either) well, you can't tell, but this is a random screen and the rabbits move--scary. The picture can't capture it, but as you enter it's like walking through a haunted woods with rabbits!

So, these are just a few of the pictures. Not into blogging about all of them and the day pictures are just buildings and us posing.

Little A & A!

...Arianna and Avonlea! I met these two munchkins at Starbucks Monday night to chat with their mom. I got to feed little one. She is only 10 lbs, 3 months old and itty bitty! Looks like her Momma.

This one ran around singing nursery rhymes and eating chicken nuggets-her favorite.

Sunday @ the Fork (again)

We spent Sunday shopping historic Leiper's Fork -- even Millie joined us! I love that place. Posing- Mary wanted to hop on a motorcycle but we asked her to show some restraint!

Where to eat? We spend A LOT of our time together eating. We chose the top one and I had a great veggie platter. Just a lazy Sunday afternoon....

Halloween weekend

We had a great weekend. First, we attended a spooktacular Halloween Party with our dear friends LOMA and Benji, a.k.a the Border Patrol and Dirty Mexican (notice Jack in his handsJon and Kate arrived together and brought the tabloids

The Prize patrol showed...none of us won!

Madonna came--but didn't sing Like A Virgin....Queenie came too!

Edward and his "bush" arrived and stole the show!
Steven and me represented some TLC. I went as Kat Von D from L.A. Ink and he went as Ami James from Miami Ink. We've been collected tattoos and wardrobe apparel for weeks and while they were fun to put on, they were horrible to take off! What a great night. Thanks friends!
