A happy day

Day 190

Squared's bridal shower was a complete success! She was totally surprised.

We played How Well Do You Know The Bride, which if I didn't know the answer, I put down my own opinion and got most of them right. She is my Mini Me, after all. We also played Toilet Paper Bride, which I had never done before, but it was totally fun. How could you not have fun toilet papering a live person? We made Squared's cousin into the prettiest bride you ever did see, and of course she won the contest.

I was put in charge of making the bow hat and bow umbrella, which I was super excited about. My friends know me well - put me in charge of the silly art project, and I'll be happy. Squared's sister Kellie and Dan's sister Carolyn got in on the bow art action, and our powers combined made the best bow hat and umbrella ever.

Squared had a wonderful shower, and she was so incredibly happy, and that's all I ever want for her. She deserves all the happiness in the world.

On another note, it's also Luna's first birthday today. I had planned on doing a blog post about it, but Squared's shower happened to fall on the same day. Sorry Lu, Squared takes precedence. She has seniority.

Sock it to me a third time!

Day 189

The migraine went away, so I'm going out tonight. Can we just talk about how awesome my new socks are for a minute? I was excited when I bought them, but I'm way more excited now that they are on my feet.

Uber cute

Day 188

I love the fact that Luna looks like she's smiling in this picture. Cuddling on the couch is a pretty good reason to smile.

Lazy

Day 187

I have a rare night all to myself, and this is what I'm doing with it - nothing. I am laying on my couch, watching TV, and there is nowhere else I would rather be. Although I did go to the gym first so I wouldn't feel incredibly guilty about doing the couch potato thing.

It has begun

Day 186

The CD Jay is holding contains the track that will be our amazing new song. I've written the lyrics, which I will be singing, and Jay laid down the incredible music. I can't wait to get together with him again so we can lay down the vocals. This is so exciting for me, and something I've wanted to do for a very long time. Big thanks to Jae Q for helping me turn this dream into a reality.

Pete and Repeat

Day 185

This self-taken picture has become almost a joke between Jon and I. We have taken this exact same picture at least twice a year during our 9 year friendship. He said it best after I took this shot: "The shirts change, the hairstyles change, but it's still the same picture." We're awesome. I love you, Miels!

Kitten kisses

Day 184

How cute is she? Seriously. She has done this nose-licking thing since she was a kitten. Technically, I suppose she's still a kitten. Her first birthday is July 9th. But she's been a licker of noses since I adopted her. She's picky about it though. A lick on the nose from Luna means you're officially a part of the in crowd. So far, only Dad & I have been accepted into Luna's inner circle. It is an honor not to be taken lightly.

Torn

Day 183

Two weeks ago, while dancing with Chris, my fishnets got caught on the button of his jacket. Twice. The first time was on the bottom button, and as he was trying to unhook that, the button of his cuff got caught. What are the odds? So there we are, me holding onto him and hopping on one leg, both of us laughing hysterically, while he tried to figure out how to disentangle us.

I didn't realize until I put them on again, but this was the outcome of Chris and I getting hooked together - ripped fishnets. I'm all about ripped fishnets. It's sexy. But I felt very unbalanced with only one rip in them. So I edited my appearance. Usually I'm a little more strategic with my DIY fashion, but since this happened accidentally, I just went nuts and tore the hell out of my thigh highs. Insanity can be fun.

I love my cat

Day 182

This is what happens every day when I get home. I lay down on the couch, Luna kneads me and purrs, then lays on me so I can't leave again. I have her undivided attention for about 10 minutes, and then she wanders off to do her own thing. If it's a gym day, I give her gooshy food and then take off for the gym. If it's not a gym day, we eat dinner together. I like our little family routine.
