Random Tuesdayness: You know what to do...
A few weeks back during one of my trips, the handle on my laptop roller bag broke. The bag is only a year old so I was kind of angry that it gave out on me. Let me tell you, wheeling a bag without a handle through the airport is a pain in the hiney! I found this bag online for a decent price and it arrived last week. I absolutely love it. The real test will come next week when I take it on its first trip. I'll let you know how she does!
I mentioned that I’m working on an afghan, and it’s kind of cracking me up that I’m so excited about it. My goal isn’t to make it look pretty and uniform, but funky and unmatched. I’ll keep updating my progress if I remember!
It’s no secret that I hate my phone, and that I’ve been pining for an iPhone for quite a while now. I finally broke down on Saturday night and bought one. The major bummer though, is that they were out of stock at the Verizon store, so I have to wait for it to be shipped to my house. And according to FedEx, that’ll be tomorrow! I am soooo excited and am sick of waiting! Apparently, I kind of “flipped out” at the store. At least according to Wiki and Jenn. I don’t really know what they’re talking about, but you can ask them if you want!
About 3 weeks ago I had the pleasure of having dinner with two of the most fabulous girls in the world… Aurs and Di Bradley (we’ve called her by her first & last name since we’ve been friends). We started off with pizza and wine at Setebello and then went onto BarX for a cocktail. We had such a great time catching up… we don’t get together nearly as often as we should! I should also mention that Ty Burrell is part owner of BarX... put that on your list of unneeded trivia!
A few weekends later I went out with another group of my fabulous friends (RosaMarie & Jenn) and had dinner at Vinto. I’d never been there before and I absolutely love the place. The food is fantastic. The atmosphere is great. The service was excellent. And I can’t wait to go back! After dinner the three of us met up with ToniTone at BarX (are you sensing a theme here) for a few drinks. I hadn’t seen Jenn in a while and it was good to get caught up.
That same weekend on Sunday I took Mr. Aidan on his birthday date. I cannot believe he’s already 7. It’s freaking me out. We went to see The Smurfs and we both loved it! Before the movie started, he said, “Hey Tata, Barney is in this movie.” I was thinking, why the hell is Barney the Purple Dinosaur in this movie… then realized he was talking about Barney (aka NPH) from How I Met Your Mother. He also recognized “Gloria” from Modern Family, and George Lopez as the voice of Grouchy Smurf. I was dying!
Later that night, Auri and I went on a little date of our own to see Breaking Dawn. OMG, I loved it! Probably not my favorite of the series, but it was still good. There were a few super-cheesy parts that I would have done completely differently, but whatevs. I really liked where the movie ended in anticipation for Part 2, but really don’t want to wait another year to see it!
Also, I may or may not be in love with someecards… they seriously kill me! Freaking hilarious!
I want this ring. That is all.
Finally, here is my beautiful Cass! She's finally showing!!! Isn't she cute??? 14 weeks, I think... I'm convinced she's having a girl. If she doesn't, I'll probably cry. But then I'll get over it.
I found a new band last week that I've fallen inlove with. I don't know much about them other than I love their music. They're called 
It's no secret that I'm inlove with Vin Diesel. I mean, come on... the man is effing hot. I realize his look doesn't appeal to everyone, but hot damn, I'd love to throw down with that boy! Needless to say, when I found out Fast Five was slated to come out, I squeeled... a lot. You can bet your asses I saw it over the weekend!
All I'm going to say about the movie is that it was perfect. Absolutley perfect. And if you go to see it, make sure you stick around long enough after the credits to see the bonus scene at the end. You won't be sorry you did. Then come over here and we'll talk about it. Trust me, you'll want to. I'll be here waiting for you when you get back... go on now... you're going to be late!
The girls and I had planned to go out dancing Friday night but that didn't end up happening. Instead, I spent the majority of the evening in my office at home chillin' with Baby NeNe (who is NOT a baby eater, contrary to popular belief). She curled up and napped on the couch while I enjoyed my new desk and comfy chair. The office is still a mess, but at least it's functional! I'm really going to love it when I get it finished.
On Saturday I got up at the ass-crack of dawn (ok, it was 10 AM or so and that's too early for me) and joined a group of friends for a private 
Saturday night 
By the time I rolled my ass out of bed on Sunday, half the day was gone, but I still managed to get quite a bit accomplished. Cleaned, did laundry, ran a couple of errands, and went to dinner at the parentals' house. Wiki and I grabbed some "hard" ice cream and she watched TV with NeNe while I packed my suitcase... which I might add, is new (well, not entirely, I stole it from my parents... and that's even kind of a lie because they said I could use it), because the asshat cab driver broke the handle on my Kenneth Cole suitcase that I lurve while taking it out of the van last week! Rude! I'm now using the Utah Jazz Ogio bag they got from Toyota and I don't think I'll be returning it... it's pretty fab.
And a thought....
Sunday - Fretted that I only had one day left of my weekend, packed for Oklahoma, watched football, took a nap, went to the parentals' for dinner, hung out with Auri and watched "Get Him to the Greek." P.S. If you haven't seen it, go watch it ASAP. Stay away from the Jeffries and the furry wall. 
The official countdown to Vegas (which hasn't been official until now) is 11 days! OMG! Well, the Vegas Mix is done and ready to go, so I can cross that "to-do" off my list! My friend 
I took a little trip up to Brigham City over the weekend. That's Peach Country, for those of you who don't live in Utah. Too bad I'm allergic to peaches, huh? Anyway, after I made it all.the.way.up.there (it's about an hour drive from where I live) I was pleasantly surprised by the trip. The town is very cute and quaint and the drive wasn't bad at all. I know I've been up throught there before but it's been years and I don't really remember it.
I got some tea at my dentist's office yesterday. Yes, they sell tea. Remember how I told you 
Can I just tell you how damn happy I am to be home this week? Have I mentioned it enough yet? The fact that I haven't been home enough to clean in the last month is really catching up to me... and for some reason, I just don't have the energy to do it, but it has to be done. I'll pay someone... Do I have any volunteers?
So, I'm going to be a traveling fool the next couple of weeks. Back to 'Bama next week, home for one day, then jetting off to New Mexico to meet Auri and the kids at her mom's house. I'm excited to get in a little traveling that isn't work related! Then of course, we have Vegas in October! Woo hoo! I can't wait! 
Like I said before, unless you live in a hole or couldn't give a shit less, you know that Eclipse premiered this week. On Tuesday night/Wedenesday morning at Midnight, to be exact. Just like I promised, I was there... and I loved every minute of it! 
The night started off with dinner and a showing of New Moon at my house. Brittany, Jessica, Noelle, and Maddie all came over and hung out. I made dinner (aka, threw some pasta in boiling water and heated up some bottled vodka sauce from Sunflower Market), Jess brought a salad and we called it good. I think the vodka sauce from World Market was better, but when it's bottled, you can't complain. 
We left my casa around 9:30 and headed west to pick up Lisa in BFE. Once we finally found her we drove over to Jordan Landing to meet Auri and the other ladies...which was where I was originally told the movie was at. Auri and the girls from work had dinner over at Joe's Crab Shack (another reason we decided to eat at home) and they had just gotten their food by the time we got there. We went to Chili's next door for coffee and dessert while we waited for them to finish dinner. Fishy smelling coffee and dessert didn't sound too appetizing...
I have to say, I really wasn't anticipating or excited about this movie the way I was with New Moon. I'm pretty sure it's because I was pretty unmoved by the 2nd one and I didn't want to get my hopes up for Eclipse. I was verrrry happily surprised by the movie this time. The few expectations I had were met!
