Grinning for Gifts

Just in case you've ever wondered what it's like to be in a gifting suite, this picture pretty much sums it up. We grin for the camera while holding their merchandise and, in return, we usually get something pretty cool (or at least something we can re-gift).
In this case, the vendor had run out of merchandise to pass out, so they took our information to send us some at a later time. Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Suspect. We'll see if we ever hear from them again (in the meantime, I guess Keith just gave them free marketing).

Pinky's Fandance - Adina Porter

Adina Porter is always so fabulous in whatever she's in. Last year she was in both True Blood and The Newsroom at the same time and was doing an incredible job in both.
I've been lucky to meet her a few times over the years, but this was the first time we'd seen her together. Lovely lady! Always really sweet.

Celebrity Wrap Up - Tuesday Edition

Hello and welcome to Tuesday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.
It looks like her dress is trying to make a "cameo." (insert groan here) 
That is actually a lovely look for Selena. However, I do feel like she may be in mourning.
Apparently Harry has better places to be than posing with these clowns.
If she turns the wrong way, we're going to get an eye full.
Another dress made out of Ace bandages?!!? Enough already! Ick.

Cutest. Chopsticks. Ever.

Our friend Amy was sick during our housewarming party a few months back and this past weekend was the first time we'd seen her since then.
She brought with her a bag of housewarming goodies containing a few fun things - but the best part was a set of flamingo chopsticks! How have I never seen these before?
They're the cutest! They make me want to start using chopsticks! :)

Pinky's Fandance - Chris Reed

Chris Reed is apparently on Sons of Anarchy and is super tall!
We had to take the picture three different times to be sure we were all in the picture. Cool guy.

No Pics Please

Do you like how we're trying to act all cool like, "No pics please!"
Ha! Like we've ever met a camera we didn't want to pose in front of.
See? That's more like it.

Celebrity Wrap Up - Monday Edition

Hello and welcome to Monday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.
Carrie Bradshaw would never be caught dead in that ensemble.
Why bother with a "dress" (I use that term loosely) at all? Just go naked.
*Biting lip* *So many things I want to say* *Must. Not. Try. To. Speak.*
Is her dress made out of an Ace bandage? Is she hurt?
Kate looks amazeballs. Well done.

Christmas Cards Mailed! Hooray!

Every year it seems like my biggest challenge over the holidays is getting my Christmas cards out on time. I'm not even sure when I started it, but I like getting my cards mailed out the day before Thanksgiving so that it's the first card people get for the holiday season. 
I realize I set this timeline up on my own, but now I feel like I have to meet it each year. Thankfully, I finished my cards a day early this time and had them all ready to be mailed on Wednesday. Of course, I did have to cut out all the decorating I usually do on the envelope in lieu of the sheer number I had to address (I think I printed up 400 cards), but I doubt anyone will miss it.

Pinky's Fandance - A.J. McLean

I think of all the boy band members, I've probably met A.J. McLean the most, although I have to look him up every single time to see which band he's in (since New Kids on the Block and Backstreet Boys are interchangeable in my mind).
He's always been super friendly and nice. Just the way I like my celebs to be! :)

Greatest. Lotion. Ever.

A million, billion thank yous going out to my friend Betsy who turned me on to this lotion after seeing my post about my horribly dry feet. We went right out and bought some Amlactin right away and what a difference it's already made! WOW. WOW. WOW.
I suppose the most surprising part about it is that I thought I'd literally tried every lotion on earth; but, apparently, I missed the best one of all. Thank you for the tip - it has already made a world of difference. Between the lotion and my Micro-pedi, my feet are going to be like new! Wahoo! Finally!

Celebrity Wrap Up - Sunday Edition

Hello and welcome to Sunday's edition of Celebrity Wrap Up.
This may be the first time I've ever seen peek-a-boo velvet.
Oh, no. Back to dressing like a slouch.
Speaking of dressing like a slouch, at least the dog sweatshirt is cute, right?
I think we can all agree this is the best she's ever looked.
Why is she ever invited anywhere?!?! It boggles the mind. Still, I hope she wore this home for Thanksgiving. Ha!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wishing you and yours the happiest of holidays! Have a great Turkey Day. Gobble gobble!
