Modern Fam

Did anyone watch Modern Family last night? First, if you don't watch this show, you are seriously missing out...it is so funny...I love every single character! Anywhoo, the show last night was Matt and I. HA!

Here, Claire is talking to her Dad about a huge fight she and her husband got into. She is explaining how mad she is that Phil (her hubby) is now in love with wedge salads b/c some guy at his work recommended that he try them. She is SOOOO mad b/c she has been trying to get Phil to have a wedge salad for MANY years and he has always refused...now that a friend of his talked him into it he loves it! Ha! That is sooo Matt and I.

I love to tell Matt to try certain foods/drinks like:



(This is pizza with something on it other than pepperoni and sausage.)

You get the point. Matt always says "Eeew that looks terrible...no thanks!" But it never fails...if a friend suggests it (or really anyone other than me), he will try it, love it, and come home claiming he has found the best new meal and I HAVE to try it...HA!

That's why I love Modern Family...it's so relate-able :)

Planning is under way for Matt's 30th/80's party this Saturday...photos to come!

DETOX...are you scared?

Happy Monday!

Today is day 1 of a 5 day detox I have signed myself up for. Yikes.

So far today I have had 1 vanilla nutrimeal shake, a packet of a.m. vitamins and a peanut butter crunch nutrition bar. Doesn't sound like the usual detox really does it? I must say, nothing tastes exceptionally great, but I have things to eat so I'm not feeling starving. Here is what my "plan" looks like:

This particular cleanse is called Usana. I know someone who made it through all 5 days and was really happy with the results and said she didn't feel hungry or miserable at all. Hmmmm wonder if I can make it.

Thank goodness I have the Bachelor to help get me through the evening! Honestly, I'm putting it out there...I think she's going to win:

Of course I love Emily, but I just don't think they would make it once the show is off the air!

Guess what is this weekend???????

Yay! Too bad I haven't seen ANY of the movies that are nominated :(

Oh, our 80's party for my hubby's 30th bday is also this weekend, but we'll talk about that once I have photos to share!

Grammy's

Well, we've made it to Tuesday afternoon. I got back from Nashville Sunday evening and attempted to sit through the Grammy's (although my favorite part is the red carpet). Last night Matt and I and two of our friends went to Prima Vista for dinner...Yummy! After wards, I watched one of my favorite shows...E! Fashion Police. I nearly disagreed with them 100% this time around. Not that my opinion matters, but here were my thoughts:
TERRIBLE (although her performance was amazing and so was the dress she wore during it)

TERRIBLE - what in the world are these pants??? If you saw him introduce one of the bands you would have wet yourself...awful.

Beautiful...I lover her and thought she looked sooooo beautiful! Everyone on E! ripped her apart.

Beautiful...although it could use a few additional inches in length.

Oh lordy...what to even say about this...I loved the entrance and all the buzz it created, but I was SOOOOO disappointed with her HATCH! I was expecting all kinds of goo, noises, cracking, emerging, etc! Ha...she basically stepped out of it and put a sponge on her head...how disappointing!

That's all I got. I was actually very discouraged by the fashion at this years Grammys...I was expecting so much more! Can't wait until the Oscars! Seriously. I'm upset b/c I missed the Bachelor last night so I'll have to read up online to see what happened.

Chat soon!

Guess where I'll be?

Hello and Happy Thursday,

I have a scratch in my throat and I'm feeling a little out of sorts today...just HOPING and PRAYING it is nothing! Guess where I'll be in a little over 24 hours...one hint:

Did you figure it out? Nashville...hooray!

Better yet, guess where I'll be in less than 30 days? One hint:

Can you figure it out this time? OK...NAPLES, FL! Actually that photo is Marco Island, but close enough! We are going for a spring vaca with my parents and two of our friends. It's going to be SO much fun...I can't wait!

I'm getting my hair highlighted tonight. Yes, you are right...my latest dye job did not last long at all! ha! I liked the color just felt so much more washed out. Back to light we go!

I can't talk about vacation posts without mentioning that Matt and I will be here in June:

Maui my friends...for my sister-in-laws nuptuals! Looks like PARADISE!

Oh I have to show you one funny thing. I follow the Cincinnati Zoo on Facebook and Twitter and I thought this was hilarious! The other day they posted this caption:
"Here's our #2 interesting animal reproduction fact - Make Love Not War: Instead of fighting, bonobos have sex! Actually, their whole societal structure seems to revolve around sex. Bonobos use sex as greetings, a means of solving disputes, making up for fights, and as favors in exchange for food."

Better yet...it was followed with this picture:


Too funny...they have some smart social media people at the zoo because that post sure did get a lot of attention!

Till next time!

XXOOXOXO

Sunday Funday

Hi pretty ladies,

Today's the big day. I hope not to offend anyone who is a Steelers fan, but I will not be rooting for BIG BEN! I have heard horror stories about how mean of a person he is (let alone all the legal trouble he has been in). SOOO, here is what I will be wearing for the game this evening!

My neighbor made a really cute shirt...I'll have to take a photo tonight and show you gals later!

I'll be making a dip for the party that is soooo good it's Harry and David pepper onion relish mixed with cream cheese...ever heard of it?

If you haven't had it, ORDER IT and get to mixin! It is so good and so easy. I use large fritos for dipping...yummy!

I'm happy to announce that we are leaving for Nashville on Friday for a fun weekend getaway and I have purchased my ticket to see ERIC CHURCH in Lexington in March. Thinking while we are in Nashville that I would like to visit the Opryland Hotel. If you've been there and can tell me anything about it please do!

GO PACKERS!


He really looks worthy of a superbowl win doesn't he???? Eeeew!

S A G's

Hi Ladies,

Oh how I love the awards season. I literally watch E! Fashion Police and yell at the TV and either argue with or agree with the hosts...pathetic, ha! Here's where I stand on the SAG awards.

Best Dressed:


Honorable Mention:
Only one person on E! last night liked this dress...I love it and think she looks BEAUTIFUL!

I LOVE Modern Family so this was easy, but I think she looks adorable and love the high neck! She is age appropriate and I love it!

Ok...she got torn apart (mostly) on E! last night, but I think she looks great. Such an improvement over her pink and red dress from the last awards show!

WOW...talk about an overall improvement...she is almost always on worst dressed lists but this time she looks GREAT!


WORST DRESSED:
Ok...this is the highlight of the SAG Awards...hahahahah!

You can't really tell from this photo, but she actually has a wedding dress on. Seriously, it's a designer bridal gown. WHAT IN THE WORLD??? Between her black purse, her hair, her facial expression and the entire photo...she looks like a train WRECK! Hilarious!

I'm sad to say it, but this one was a worst dressed in my book as well:

I know this is a bad photo, but I wanted you to see the SEAM running up her side! Oh lordy...terrible.

I usually love her too, but I had to give her a "no-go" on this one...come on Kim:

She definitely doesn't look terrible, but it's not her usual!

Ok...one last thing. If you haven't seen this, go rent it right now and watch it tonight. If you like Facebook at all, it's a GREAT movie and 100% worth watching. Even more fascinating...it's a true story!

Wigging Out

This weekend was quite the fun one! About 17 girls were in Chicago for a bachelorette party! I must say Wicked was better the second time and I really enjoyed it. Three of us decided to leave early in the morning on Friday to get to Chicago and enjoy our time there. We went here...MY FAVORITE PIZZA!

Then we went shopping on Michigan Avenue.

We got ready for Wicked then went to the show (here are some of the girls)

Most of the girls went home after the show but not me of course (yikes)! We went to some hotel bar and had some girl time. It was great meeting new friends...not to mention the hilarious experience we had at Subway where I decided to order a falafale sub sandwich....HA!

The next day we had brunch at a WONDERFUL place but I forget the name of it...ha! I think maybe it was Grand Lux??? Here was my breakfast:

FUZZY Picture...taken from my cell phone.
We went wig shopping afterwards. I brought a black wig but after I saw everyone else's, that was NOT going to do the trick! Here was what I looked like that evening...

Ha! It was pretty embarassing, but really fun at the same time! All 17 girls had crazy wigs on.

So here's the worst part. My camera was dead the ENTIRE time so I have zero pictures. I really hope I get some from the Bachelorette's mom since she took great photos!

On another note. I CANT BELIEVE THEY ARE IN THE SUPERBOWL!


I'm so glad it's already Wednesday! My BFF's birthday is tomorrow and I can't wait to celebrate her last year in her 20's ;-)

Thirsty Thursday

Hi girls,

I worked from home today because of all the snow we are getting here in KY! For those of you who don't know, I live in Northern Kentucky about 15 minutes from Cincinnati. It is really starting to come down and I really feel bad for all those hard working people who have to drive home this evening. I hope it slows down because I'm headed here tomorrow at 7 a.m.:


This time tomorrow a big group of girls will be getting all dolled up to go see this:

I saw it when it was here in Cincinnati, but I think it will be a different experience to see it in Chicago.

The real reason for a large girls trip to the "Windy City" is this:


Best part of all...on Saturday night all of the girls will be wearing a wig! Mine looks a little something like this:


YIKES I hope it doesn't look horrific! ha! Hope everyone has a great weekend. No offense, but I REALLY hope this team doesn't advance this Sunday:


Wow I had a hard time even putting that image on my blog, ha! PS. sorry this post has no relevance to Thirsty Thursday!

Globes...Fashion Police

Good morning friends,

Great weekend. Three days off work and basically three days of celebrating with friends! I really wish KY would go smoke free...I still feel like it's in my clothes, my hair, my purse, everything!

Anywho, I was watching the E! Fashion Police last night and they were discussing the Golden Globes. They gave Anne Hathaway best dressed:

Of course she is BEAUTIFUL, but I wouldn't give her best dressed.

I think I would have to choose one of these two for BEST DRESSED:
LOVE THIS DRESS...color, fit, EVERYTHING!

I don't think she got nearly enough attention...she looks great!


Biggest disappointment....HELLO! This was her night! What in the world is she doing???????????


Worst Dressed:
Totally inappropriate

I think she got 2nd best dressed according to E!...are you kidding??? This looks terrible!

Horrible.

Oh my word...I can't even find words to express how terrible this is.


One last thing...can I just say...who in the world thinks about a dress for the Golden Globes and decides on THIS:


What do you guys think??? I already can't wait for the OSCARS!
