How Do You Roll??

Joe and I are loving these old factory cart coffee tables. The first one is from Z Gallerie and is about $600. Love it!! The next one is at Restoration Hardware and is more expensive....$900. Maybe we can get one as a joint anniversary gift? Of course the best option would be to find one at a flea market somewhere for way cheaper.

Flashback Friday!

Who would have thought that through everything, we would still be the best of friends?!
Triple Six Mafia Queens for life!!!

I got 5 on it....

I copied this from Sister Kristy's blog....Name 5 Loves/Hates.

**Loves**
1. I love kickboxing. It's addictive! Who would have thought that I would be punching and kicking?! I can tell a difference in my body and the way it makes me feel.
2. I live for Girls Weekends. I am so glad that we make time for each other and we always have fun!!
3. I love planning trips. If you have not checked out Tripadvisor.com, you totally should. You can "build trips". I have over 50 saved...just in case :)
4. I love snuggling in the bed watching a movie with Joe. We decided when we got married that the bedroom is no place for a TV, so we do not have one in there. Whenever we want to watch a movie together, we prop the laptop up on a pillow and snuggle in.
5. I love, love, love planning parties....I just wish I had more time to have them....and friends that would actually show up!!

**Hates**
1. Litterbugs....I have said this before....people who litter their trash are just that...TRASH!!
2. People who are mean to animals/bugs. I hope they get what is coming to them!!
3. People who allow their children to act a fool in public and do nothing....Joe and I always say that the first time our kids try that....it WILL be the last!
4. Cheese..I know, I am crazy!! I will only eat white cheese on pizza. Period.
5. Nascar...really, turn left, then turn left, then turn left??!! That's entertainment? Two words....WHITE TRASH!!

31 Cent Night

This is seriously one of my most favorite nights of the year. It's the simple things really...like scoops of ice cream for only 31 cents!! Head on over to your local Baskin Robbins on Wednesday night from 5-10 pm. I am thinking of making Joe jog over there with me....it's the least we can do if we are going to eat 2 scoops of ice cream :)

Yard Sale Happiness!

I hit up a yard sale held at a local church yesterday. Look at hank checking out my goodies! I can not get enough of these wicker plates. They are so perfect for backyard BBQ's and contain a certain element of nostalgia for me. I also picked up copies of "Eat, Pray, Love", "Marley and Me" and "The Shack". I actually own these books already, but they were a steal at 50 cents each. I will either give them away or list them of Paperbackswap.com. I also got the DVD's "P.S. I Love You" and "Oliver and Company" for $2 each, the VHS of "Peter Pan" for school was $1 and a book abd car for my classroom treasure box.

The best find by far was this "M" for $1. I have big plans for this. Can you guess?

A Covington Wedding

I had the privilege last night to do a dessert buffet at a wedding in Covington. The bride, Erin, had showed me a picture of a wedding online for me to use as inspiration. I draped a vintage lace tablecloth over a gray one and used moss risers to hold white pedestal servers. I had chocolate covered marshmallows "growing" out of wheat grass in wooden boxes. There was a variety of mini tarts, cookies and cupcakes plus my personal favorite, baklava!! I was very please how it turned out. Someone even compared me to Amy Atlas, who is probably the best known dessert buffet designer. It's always fun to hear people ohh and ahh over my work.

Joe and I stepped in as bartenders when there was a mad rush. I have literally never seen people drink so much alcohol. I ran into Kelly from work....how random!?
