Pitch Perfect Changed My Life

I'm a HUGE fan of Glee... I love music and I love things that verge on inappropriate.  WELLLLLL, the other day, a friend from work told me that she saw the most amazing movie and that I had to go see it with her.

OMG - Best Movie Ever!!!

It's got it all... great music, hilarious comedy and a little bit of a love story, but not one that takes over the whole movie.  If you haven't seen it, I would definitely recommend you see it ASAP, buy the soundtrack and then watch for it to come out on DVD and buy it!!!  That's what I'll be doing...

Sorry for being MIA recently... I'm getting ready to go present at a conference next week and then I should have a little more time for the blog when I'm on my computer instead of it all being spent on Power Point.

Happy Hump Day!!

Wedding Wednesday

By the time you get around to planning the rehearsal dinner, you may be exhausted and completely out of brilliant ideas.  I wish I would have thought of this super cute idea...

So much fun in this cute little bag...

They included a wedding day schedule and a list of phone numbers with the title "Call Anyone bu the Bride"... GENIUS!!!  Simple, modern, and a little bit quirky... what could be better?!?!

You can check out this and all my pins on my Wedding Wednesday Pinterest Board!

Happy Hump Day!!

A very special day

Today is a very special day... it's my Mom's Birthday.

My Mom is one of the most caring, thoughtful and creative people I know.  I am so lucky to have her as my mom and because she does so much for me & J, for her Birthday, we got something special for her... we are taking her (and my dad) to see...

She is very excited, and even though it's not until the beginning of December, it's something all of us have to look forward to!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!

A Tuesday to Look Forward to...

After a fun trip to IKEA on Saturday and a full day of running around and putting together furniture on Sunday, Monday was a hard pill to swallow.

Although there is not much about Tuesday that I particularly look forward to, tomorrow is an exception.

Tomorrow night, J and I are going to the IU Auditorium to see...

I am so excited... I have never seen it on stage, but I love the movie (the Renee Zellweger version) and I cannot wait to have a fun date night with my hubby!!!

We are going to dinner at one of my favorite restaurants in B-Town, Malibu Grill (J has never been there) and we are going to have a really fun night!!!

Searching for Energy

I don't know where this week has gone, but I've been EXHAUSTED and wishing that I'd just have some energy appear... it hasn't.

We had a great weekend LAST weekend, full of wedding fun, and now we are about to start ANOTHER full weekend of stuff.  I know what you're all thinking... what kind of person complains about the week flying by and the weekend being here?  Believe me... that's not what I'm saying... I just look ahead and see no "free" weekends in my future and all of a sudden, I'm exhausted.

This weekend, J is going to work on our deck, which badly needs a make over, and I'm going with a friend and my cousin to the happiest place on earth... no, not Disney World...

(cue the sounds of angels singing)

Yep, we are packing up and heading for Ohio for a day of shopping!!!!  This means that tonight, I will be cleaning up the room where all of this furniture will end up... the room over the garage.

I'm committing my Sunday to building whatever I buy (putting furniture together is one of my most favorite things in the world to do) and getting the room in order so that it goes from wedding/junk room to family/sewing room and office.  Before and after pictures coming soon.

Wish us luck on our excursion... I'm hoping to be back on track next week  :)
