Funny "Blogger" Cartoon

I saw this and wanted to share!! The teacher and "new" blogger in me thought it was too funny!

Mardi Gras

Oh what fun we had. It turned out to be a long and busy week....but we had a great time!! We started with my ball on Tuesday night (a week before Fat Tuesday). I was in costume and he wore tails.....how handsome is he!! Then we had his ball on Thursday night and vice versa with the costume, except I wore a formal. Now the thing about these balls is that they are exhausting. Each night begins first with a parade around 6:30pm. A two hour long ride of throwing moon pies, beads, teddy bears, peanuts and any other items people will pick up from the ground. Then the ball begins at around 9:00pm with a "show" and then continues into the late night hours, 2:00am with dancing, eating, and drinking. It's a lot!! So by the time we got to Saturday night, my dad's ball, we were quite exhausted. But my best friends from Birmingham had come down and that made it all the much better!!!

My Valentine Birthday Roses

JC and I were staying in downtown Mobile for Mardi Gras which was spanning both my birthday and Valentine's day! Sooooooo...being the thoughtful man that he is, he had a dozen roses delivered to work on the Friday before. He had been out of town for a week and I was completely surprised. I was actually attending a "work baby shower" and the delivery guy walked in!!! Awww...I was shaking and smiling all at the same time. I Love him!!

World's Famous Taco Dip

Okay...so maybe it's just another layer dip. But mine is awesome. People seem to love it and eat it up anytime I bring it somewhere. Enjoy! Ohhh and it tastes better when made the night before.

Ingredients:
1st layer (mix together then spread)
1 can refried beans
1 package taco seasoning mix
2nd layer (mix together then spread)
1 cup mayonnaise
1 16oz container of sour cream
3rd layer
chopped olives
4th layer
chopped tomatoes (I squeeze them so there is not a lot of juice)
5th layer
chopped green onions
6th layer
cheese

It Might Be Mardi Gras When.....

1. The shoes are ready (mine are gold to match my costume and his are silver to match his costume).

2. The masks have been adhered to eye glass frames for easy wear (me) and the elastic reinforced (him).

3. There are moon pies everywhere! The newest flavors are peanut butter and mint! The mint ones remind me of girl scout cookies!

4. We each have enough cups to host our own little party!

It's ALMOST here!!!

Beauty Tips and Favorite Things...ME? Seriously?

Hahahaha....my beauty tips! I'm just cracking myself up as I think that I may have something to add to this discussion!!! But here's my plan!

(My Anna Nicole Smith Halloween costume)

1. I will second everyone's mentions of the Chi straightening iron. It is awesome. I have the 2 inch Turbo Chi...Amazing (should have been mentioned as one of my simple pleasures)!

2. For my all over body lotion, I love Johnson's baby lotion or Baby Magic (the pink bottle)! I actually buy the generic brand and it's great!

3. My make-up is an assortment of brands! First off, every Christmas I get the Estee Lauder make-up kit and it lasts me an entire year. Eye shadows, mascara, eye liners, and blush! Note: I only use eye liner when going to a special function...not everyday!!
For powder I use Clinique's double matte powder...and that's it. That is all I put on my face (after a Clinique moisturizer...whatever comes in the free gift). It has the foundation in it but it is still very dry and clean feeling.

My lips are covered with Mary Kay's Amber Suede! The best lipstick ever!! AND I love a bright color...just makes me look fun and happy!

4. My Hair!!! Yes...I get highlights. Quite expensive but so worth the feeling of being a bright blonde. For shampoo...I usually go cheap! I'm not too concerned so I typically use Suave! Then for conditioner I choose Treseme, Smooth and Silky (my favorite ever)!! And then after I get out of the shower, I have a hair wrap! It is much lighter than walking around with a towel and it really draws the water out!

So "TA-DA"...Here I am!!!!

Missing Him :(

Thank goodness JC will be getting into town late tonight! My boyfriend is an entrepreneur and such a hard worker. I happened to meet him at one the biggest career moments in his life so far. So with this has brought weeks of traveling! AND I MISS HIM!! I had gotten used to my "single" life, but now that he has come into my life....I prefer to have him with me!

I made him a sign that I will put on the door so that when he gets home he will see it!! I'm not sharing what's inside...nothing dirty...just the mushy stuff!!!

It feels very nice to love someone so much. Even when we do nothing, I just like having him here!
