Top Two Tuesday...on Wednesday....Blame it on the computer!!

1. With a Little Help From My Friends by The Beatles
The Beatles are my most favorite band of all time. It is hard to pick just one song....but this one is awesome! Joe and I love to belt it out in the car.

2. Three Little Birds by Bob Marley
This song always makes me smile. I teach it to my students every year and they get so excited when we sing it in class. I started listening to Bob Marley in middle school :)

The Invites Are Out!!

These are the invites for Meredith's bird themed baby shower in November....they turned out so cute!!

Envelopes that I made :)

Memphis Blog Girls Dinner

Last week we had our 2nd Memphis Blog Girls dinner at Salsa in East Memphis. We had a great time chatting and ranting :)

I can't wait until our next meet up. If you are a blogger in Memphis and would like an invite to the next dinner, shoot me an email at strawberrysh@hotmail.com.

Shopping List

It's time for fall clothes....yippee!!! Joe is still sleeping so I decided to cruise the internet looking for some cute things to add to my shopping list.

Don't worry....this is JUST the beginning.

Things to do this Fall...

It's official...it's fall.

Although it seems that someone has forgotten to tell the weather gods. In Memphis this past week the temperatures were almost 100 degrees. I am currently in Minnesota where the leaves are changing and there is a nip in the air. I may or may not have made a trip to a Minneapolis Pottery Barn to buy fall stuff yesterday....hehe! Fall is my favorite season. The leaves changing makes me so HAPPY!

In order to enjoy my favorite season, I have a made a list of all the things I am going to try and do before the COLD comes. What's on your list?

1. Go on a nature walk with Joe and collect acorns and leaves.

2. Go to a corn maze (not haunted....I can't stand people chasing me with chain saws!)

3. Pick a pumpkin :)

4. Complete some fall cleaning in the house-clean all the baseboards, clean the attic, change the air filter, etc.

5. Spend a day reading magazines and books at Davis Kidd Bookstore with a mug of apple cider.

6. Go camping....can you believe Joe and I have never been camping together. We registered for all the stuff as wedding gifts and we have never been. We have traveled all over and have never been...crazy huh?? I would be happy in a tent or cabin....I just need to be in the woods!

7. Make some pumpkin treats. I do not like the taste of pumpkin, but Joe does....so pumpkin treats it is!!

8. Go on a mini weekend getaway with Joe. Possibly Big Cedar Lodge, The Biltmore, or The Crescent Hotel (We have been to this one before and LOVE it....it's haunted!!).

9. Spend a weekend with Kristy going to flea markets and antique stores.

10. Start planning my Christmas gifts, activities, and baking plans.

11. Order my Christmas cards! Lindsey Lissau is taking pics of us on October 14th....so excited!!

One Word....Obsessed!

Edamame....I'm OBSESSED...that's it :)

Top Two Tuesday-Hair Products!

It's Top Two Tuesday today and the theme is favorite hair products. I am not someone who spends a lot of money on my hair...heck, I get it cut at Supercuts and use dye out of a box. I used to pay $100 to get it colored and realized that was silly :) I do spend a little money on the products that work with my hair.

1. Bedhead Brilliant Brunette Shampoo and Conditioner

This stuff smells so yummy. It moisturizes my hair and helps the color last longer.

2. Biosilk

I started using this stuff in college. A little bit goes a LONG way, but it helps keep the frizzies away.

My Date With Dad

I had to rush home from Natalie's shower on Saturday because I had another date night...this time with my dad! For his birthday in August I got him tickets to see Frankie Valli at The Orpheum. So that's what we did. First we went to Pei Wei for dinner and then it was time for the show.

Here is Dad waiting for the show to start.

Here is a picture of the stage. They did all their hits including "Sherry Baby",

"Big Girls Don't Cry, "Grease", "Ragdoll", etc. The show was wonderful and I will always remember going with my dad. It was my mom's birthday and I think she would have loved it :)

Natalie's Baby Bump

This weekend I traveled to the busy metropolis of Centerville, TN :) to shower Natalie and baby Nolan.

Natalie's cake

The food table

Here we are at Natalie's wedding shower about 3 years ago in the same building....

Yay Baby Nolan...we can't wait to meet you!

Beth and Natalie

Me and Kristy

Opening gifts...she got a lot of really nice things!

Look at all the LOOT! Can't wait to see you girls in Januray 2011.....Knoxville Girls Weekend!!

Sister Kristy.....I'll see you in 28 days in Miami for our CRUISE!!

Date Night!!

This week, Joe and I had date night on Friday. We were both pretty tired from a long week of work, so we decided to go to dinner at Swanky's and eat on the Patio. Joe got chicken enchiladas and I got tacos.

Yummy!! Joe was a happy boy :)

After dinner we went to Best Buy (I needed an external hard drive for my laptop) and Target. Joe said that he needed something sweet....

At home we watched the movie "Date Night"...how appropriate!
