Well HEWWO loves! Did you all have a fantastic weekend? I sure did! It was low-key and laid back, but full of fun at the same time. Just my own personal combo of loverly-ness. Friday night the Mister and I indulged in some of argueably the best pizza in Dallas, Mama's Pizza. If any of you live in Dallas and have never tried this pizza, I would put it on your list of important things to do IMMEDIATELY.
Mmmm, pizza I heart you.
Then on Saturday my sweet Aunt Belinda took me to get a pedicure and for a little shopping at Francesca's. We had us a good time, can't beat a little girly time doing girly things. I then wore my new digs that I got whilst shopping with my Aunt Belinda to my brother's late birfday celebration (yes you remember me wishing him a happy birfday way back on March 16th, that's how we roll in this family, we stretch birdays out over MONTHS). Here's a few pictures from Bulldozer's birfday evening. Sidenote: He earned the nickname "Bulldozer" when he was 2, because he had a really big head and ran full speed at everything, head first, knocking down everything in his path. Hence the name, Bulldozer. Oh and P dittle S, I tried to wave crimp my hair. I know, my own fault for even attempting anything that had "crimp" in the title, but I was having bad hair day issues anyway and thought maybe this might do the trick? Wave crimp = FAIL. But apparently wave crimp pulled back in a pony tail = 70 year old lady's hair-do. So please excuse.

We ate at Grand Luxe, this fantastic restaurant that's owned by the Cheesecake Factory but is WAY better. And also, meanwhile, it was prom. Everywhere. Dear Lord, please don't let my daughter (if I have one) grow up to want to wear (notice I say want, since momma will still have a say, that WANT won't turn into anything more than a want) hoochie dresses like some of the girls we saw sportin' on Saturday night. And if I have a boy, please don't let him take said hoochies to prom. Amen.
Oh and also, my mom has the cutest little Labs (next to Koda of course) Bentley and Rigley. They got Bentley after Baylor, their oldest Lab, died last October. Rigley went into total depression and they knew they had to do something about it quick, so 2 weeks later they brought home this little love, Bentley. She's about 8 months now. She's the one on the right. My mom sent me this picture this weekend but since we had my brother's second half of his birfday at my mom's house, I thought I'd include it in with these pictures. They are such cute best friends.
And lastly, I got TAGGED! So I guess that means I'm it, huh? Aly over at AnALYze This tagged me in this fun little Q & A originally hosted by The Preppy Mafia ...
So here goes ...
1. Who is your style icon? Um, hello?
2. What is your favorite socialite lit book? I'm not sure I know what a socialite book is? I guess I'm not a socialite. I'll just go with old faithful ...
3. Favorite party theme? I love any themed party. But I'd have to say my FAVORITE theme is ...
Anything involving margaritas is allrightbyme ...
4. Go to Halloween costume? My Mister HATES to dress up. So I usually create them. These two were SUPER easy and I will probably use them again, I was both of these this year, one for my company Halloween party and one for my Silly and brother's Halloween Party ...
{That's right, a bundle of grapes! And that's a wig. From Walmart.}
{My Silly is Swine Flu. And what a CUTE Swine Flu she is!}
5. Extravagance you cannot live without? I could live without any of them, but I'm going to say my iPhone. It might as well have a holster on my hip.
6. Living person you admire? Our Pastor, Matt Chandler. He is battling a brain tumor and his faith and perserverence is inspiring in my own walk with the Lord.
8. Trait you deplore in yourself? Do I have to pick just one? Probably the fact that I BITE THE SHIZZ OUTTA MY NAILS/CUTICLES/ENTIRE HAND.

ReplyDeleteWe are kind of obsessed with pizza. I may have to fly to Dallas to dine with you. Ha! :)
ReplyDeleteBahahahahaha you were grapes....I have to say as I am typing and laughing at the same time that you even look cute as a bundle of grapes...but as I see you dressed as a bundle of grapes I am thinking you would look pretty darn good in a Hanes commercial....ya know the one with the apple and stuff....hahahahah...we should campaign you to do it :0)
ReplyDeleteI am laughing so hard I can hardly type! Ooooh heart shaped pizza....I get that on Valentine's Day....Yummo....

Funny about your brother's nickname....
Happy Monday

Summer :0)
You look beautiful with your crimped hair....I don't know what in the world you are talking about!
ReplyDeleteAnd I have to admit that SJP is also my style icon! I think that my favorite line SATC is: "And there, in the same city where they met as girls, four New York women entered the next phase of their lives dressed head to toe in love. And that's the one label that never goes out of style." (right after she got married in a labelless suit...)
LOVES YOU!
Cute post! My favorite party theme would probably be anything involving rita's too! Love your grape costume....too cute!!
