i llike you too.

I'm so glad the feeling is mutual. 

You guys. Home stretch of invitations. The end is in sight!! I promise I'll be back soon.

real talk

Honestly, how feasible is it for me to own a baby sloth? (please watch this video to understand what I'm going through right now) I need to know the answer, STAT. I absolutely and completely understand Kristen Bell's reaction now.

neglected

Blog, I'm terribly sorry you've been so neglected lately. Wedding invites and life have been consuming me as of late. On the bright side, I have managed to work a llama into the invitation. A LLAMA! I was probably the happiest girl in the world the moment I realized I might be able to do it. 

teehee.

a belated birthday wish

to a cool little niece who inherited both her mom's sass and love for red velvet cake :)

I appreciate the fact she tries to save some cake for later by storing it in her dress - she's a smart lady.

VICTORY. Check out that look on her face. She knows she won.

A scrumptious bunny gift from Aunt Candice. 

Happy first year of life, little one.

the week condensed

Losing The Game That Must Not Be Mentioned appears to have really put a damper on my blogging for this week. C'est la vie. I instead took a plethora of pics so you can see what you've missed, because I know you've been dying without me around, Internet blogosphere. ;) It's been a pretty big week, actually. I made my first king cake (!), I bottled my first beer, had my first Chicago snow storm (woot) and cooked some dee-licious (if I don't say so myself) frito pie. Not pictured: started knitting a bunny for my niece's first birthday gift, booked my flight for my classy lady party and finally got around to framing and hanging my birthday present from last year (picture coming soon). 

If you do nothing else this weekend, you MUST find time to listen to this. It will rock your world and 'rebuild you from the inside out.' I'm going to go ahead and say you owe it to the world to listen to it. Yep, I just went there. After you listen let me -and the world- know what you think. Many thanks.

Cheers and happy weekending. 

a big night

Despite all of the controversy, apathy, anger and passion, I am thrilled/nervous/pumped/etc. to see my very own LSU tigers playing for the BCS national championship tonight. People can cry all they want, but until something changes, this is the means by which everyone agreed to crown a national champion. Even though I'm slightly depressed to be so far away from New Orleans, you better believe I'll be yelling at the TV like I'm actually in the Superdome tonight.
