Ooh la la Ruelala!!

Today I made my first purchase on Ruelala!! All of those emails are finally worth it! If you don't know Ruelala is a high end invite only sample sale website like Gilt Groupe or Ideeli, that gives you amazing discounts!! Today I got an email saying that the Isabella Fiore sample sale was going on and since I am a sucker for a great bag I had to look! I ended up getting the Isabella Fiore "Chain Attraction" Alicia Hobo in red which retails for $650 on sale for $245!! What a deal, I can't wait until it arrives! Thanks Preppy Wedding for the invite to Ruelala!!

Oreo Cakesters

I am really into the 100 calorie snacks, they really hit the spot for my snack craving in the afternoon. I wanted to try these as soon as I saw the commercial. There is no way anybody is running towards the truck carrying these. What a disappointment! These teeny-tiny little things shouldn't even be worth 100 calories! I will stick to my yummy 100 calorie hostess cakes!

Dan's Happy Birthday Day!!

Last Friday was Dan's birthday and we both took the day off to celebrate!! We had a wonderful relaxing day, just like Dan likes!! It started off with him picking anything he wanted for breakfast...he picked peanut butter and jelly English muffins...too easy! Then it was time for presents!! After that we both got ready to go to my hair stylist to get Dan's hair cut, his idea, he had not gotten one in so long. Since he moved over here he didn't have a stylist of his own so he was a little worried to try someone new but Amie took good care of him!! The new haircut looks great! After that lunch at his favorite restaurant and then back to rest for about thirty minutes...we had a surprise to get to that he didn't know about...an hour and a half couples massage at Essentials Spa! It was so nice!! Even better than the one last year! Then we hit the steam rooms and relaxed. Back at home Dan had a lot of phone calls to take and return. Just enough time to watch one DVRed show then it was time to get ready for dinner. We tried a new place, Foreman's steakhouse, wonderful food but a little too busy because of it being a Friday night, but yummy nonetheless. Back at home we had a few friends and family join us for Dan's favorite homemade Peanut Butter Pie and a round of his new Buzz Quiz Show PS3 game. What a wonderful day! Even Dan who hates to celebrate his own birthday said it was a great day! I am so glad he was born!! ...cheesy I know, but I cant help it!

Ahhh Ann Taylor gets me again!

I Love Ann Taylor!! Ever since I was 22 coming out of college and entering the corporate world Ann Taylor has just made it easy for me to try and look pulled together at work! I dont have an Ann Taylor near me, but we got a Loft just 2 years after I started working so I didnt have to wait long, and about 45 minutes away is one of their outlets, but I still like to take a peek online and they still tease me so with their emails!! ...almost every day I swear! So here are two of my new favorites but I am not quite sure about them...the first is a very bold bright colors and is not on sale yet for $109 then second one is horizontal stripes and they always tell you not to wear them...what do you think...

What a deal!!

So I have been so slammed at work I havent had time to go shopping for a dress for my friend Jessica's wedding today. Last night (I was suppose to be off yesterday) I got off at 7:00pm and Dan and I ran to The Avenue to try and find something to wear. We went into a few stores and then split up to go on to just girl/guy stores. I ran into Ann Taylor Loft just to take a look, but they didnt have that many dresses. Then I went into the back of the store and I couldnt believe it, they had one dress that was fancy enough for the wedding, and it was my size! Then I was floored, it was on sale for $6.88!! Yes $6.88!! Then I found another dress a little more casual for $4.88!! The first dress fit perfectly and is a beauitful color for a winter wedding!! The second dress I didnt think was fancy enough, but will be good for something else. Then I went up to the register with a few more things, and found out all sales were an additional 25% off!! Wow!!!
Check out my finds!!The wedding dress for $5.16

The second dress for $3.66

Go checkout Ann Taylor Loft's huge sale!!

Baby Addison!

Check out this sweet little peanut! My new niece!
She is such a good girl! I love her little coos!
and the once little sister is so happy to be a big sister now!

VH1's Tool Academy

What a hilarious mess of a show!! When Dan and I saw a commercial for the new show Tool Academy on VH1 we had to check it out. We DVRed it just to see the beginning because it looked so funny and down right wrong, but then this train wreck mess of a show sucked us in and we ended up watching the entire thing...and I bet we continue to do so. Wow, this is a truly crazy show and its hard to believe there really are such tools out there and even more unbelievable that some dumb woman is putting up with their crap! Its seems some of them had to be acting, are they really that bad!?! Makes you appreciate all the good guys out there like Dan (not that I didnt before!!).
If you havent even heard of it its yet another mess of a reality show on VH1. Basically VH1 lied and said that they were a part of a show called Mr. Awesome (yeah right) and they came thinking they were, flaunting their stuff and being so disrespectful of there girlfriends watching backstage. When they tell them the truth its hilarious!! They are now part of a bootcamp like training to make them into good guys and if they dont step up they get kicked off and told they are a tool!! The girls then have to decide to stay with a tool academy reject or breakup with them, sad thing is they most likely will!! Thanks for another train wreck VH1!! I dont usually watch them but this one I might!!

Its a girl!

My niece, Addison Grace, was born Saturday January 10th 2009 at 2:06pm, 8 lbs and 4 oz, 22 inches!! Both baby and mommy are doing great! This is baby number three for my sister Kelly, yep all girls! That means I will be blessed with all boys everyone says, which is fine by Dan! We are so excited to welcome new baby Addison to the family!!

Bachelorette Party Weekend

One of my good friends Kelly moved to San Francisco two years ago to be closer to her boyfriend in medical school there and now they are engaged to be married on May 2nd 2009! I am so excited because I just got an email from her sister inviting all of us to a bachelorette party weekend at her place in Washington D.C! I have driven through DC a few times but have never stopped and visited. I cant wait to see everything and to have a great time with my girls! Sad to admit this but I am really excited because DC has an H&M which we do not in Florida, I know, I know they have so much else to see and do, but what can I say I love H&M! Three of us are flying up early together to visit with Kelly before the others fly in from other places and because we are a smaller group Kelly's sister can get us a backstage tour of the White House...so neat!! Its been a while since I have had a girls weekend so I am very excited and very excited for Kelly and Matt!

Blah!

I am sick, yuck! and what horrible timing because my sister is being induced tomorrow at 8pm, today is my niece's 5th birthday, and my friend Tiffany's birthday party is on Saturday. Meh!! I hate being sick, but wow did Danny take care of me last night, he got home from work and I was already laying in bed. He heated up some homemade soup for me, found his cool humidifier, and ran to CVS to get me Nyquil, Dayquil, lotion Kleenex, Vick's Vapor Rub, diet Ginger ale, and my new favorite thing a Vick's waterless Vaporizer (nice surprise when you are sick), just plug it in and the sinus opening goodness of Vick's fills the air, not too much though. Dan didn't have to be bombarded with it, not that anybody I know would mind even if they didn't have a cold. Hopefully all this works to make me better! Stupid cold!!

The Very Cliche Resolution!

Ever since Dan and I stopped training for triathlons I have been gaining weight like crazy! I have always been very active, but turned it up a couple of notches to start training for triathlons with Dan, I guess my body got use to it because its is so stubborn now and I cant seem to lose weight that use to be easy to drop. So like everyone else it seems my New Years resolution is to lose weight!! Not a crazy amount, 15 pounds and I would be happy. I plan on doing it slowly and the old fashion way, watching what I eat, and exercising! Meanwhile my first day back at work and I think I am getting the cold everyone in my family had while on break.

Happy New Year!!

I just got back to work since 12/18 so I have been really bad about blogging, so this is a little belated!
