Pity Party for One, Please

Friday Night. 8:57 pm. Pajamas. Wine. And the clincher? LMN! And for those of you that don't know what that is...Lifetime Movie Network. Sigh....ladies, you've all been there. Pity party! Ah yeah!

So the boy is out of town at a video game tournament. And I have at least 100 things on my to-do list, but on this chilly evening all I could manage was a glass of wine and some lifetime movies.

Now, every girl knows that once lifetime is on, good luck turning it off! It's ridiculous seeing as how most of them are not even of decent quality. For example, the one I just watched was clearly from the 90's and had John Stamos in it (must have been his first gig after Full House) and the acting is horrendous! And the titles...the last one was Fatal Vowels and I just broke the cardinal rule of LMN and watched more than 3 minutes of the next movie, cleverly titled Fatal Error and now I'm hooked. DAMN YOU LMN!!!!!!]



So - I've decided that tomorrow is as good a day as any to get it all done! And the doggers agree...

She's watching LMN too!

Poor Timmy is trying to avoid us! ;)

As much as I'd love to write all that's been going on - I'm going to finish up this movie and get to bed. My new running buddy (Timmy) and I  have 4 miles to do tomorrow!

Catch up blog to come soon!

Love, L

Happy Jers-day! Ahh Yeah!

Ahhhh Yeah!

And a happy day for me too, since it's my Friday! Woo Hoo! Off to H-town tomorrow for some baby-making celebrations (Don't read into that the wrong way: Mary made a baby and celebrating with a baby shower)! ;)

P.S. Ags....thoughts on the divorce with the big 12? hmmmmmm. We'll make Arkansas look good! ;)

Catching up on Everything but "THAT"

"That" being...wedding talk. I am wedding'd OUT right now!!! I spent a large portion of yesterday doing wedding stuff and then went to the Dallas Bridal Show with my mom and two sisters today. So - I'm going to doing a little wedding detox before thinking about it again...at least for a day or two! ;)

So, in other news I'm also planning a baby shower (or 2). Mary's first baby shower is here in the DFW on Saturday. I'm super excited because I got one of the best presents she's going to get. Mary - I know you'll read this...and no, it's not on your registry, but I hope you love it (and I'm pretty sure you will!!). Still working out a few last details on her Houston shower at the end of August! I'm pretty excited about it and can't wait to see how it all comes together. It's nice to have a distraction from the wedding planning.

I think I'm going to start a new topic when I blog. It'll be the "new cool thing" of the week or month or whenever I find something cool. I REALLY need to come up with a catchier nickname for it, but for now we'll go with "Lisa's Latest Likes." I already mentioned instagram a week or so ago and the latest is Pinterest. Website: www.pinterest.com. You download the application to your bookmark tool bar and then when you're browsing the internet and see something you like, be it an arts and crafts project, a fun date night idea, a DIY project, wedding decoration ideas, etc. you can "pin it". It saves the picture to your page and you can follow others and browse the pictures they've pinned and then visit the websites if it strikes your interest. It's harder to explain then it is just to go look at the website, but I'm a little addicted now and it's a GREAT way to share ideas! There's also a phone app for it! What did we do before smart phones?

SYTYCD: Just have to say that I'm loving the direction it's headed. Melanie and Sasha are phenomenal and there's no doubt they'll be the top 2 girls with Tad and Marko most likely being the top 2 dudes. I'm about 98% positive Melanie is going to win though. She's incredible! Why is reality tv so addicting? We're also sucked into Master Chef right now too. Definitely entertaining, but I can't say that I'm quite as invested into who wins that one.

Exciting things coming up this week:

Brandon's best friend James is moving back to Dallas. So excited for him and pretty excited about seeing less super hero movies! ;)
Also - Brandon's bday is a little over a week away. I am SOOOOO ecstatic about what we're doing, but it's a secret, so you'll have to wait until after his bday to find out what it is!
Nothing much planned, meaning I can get back into my normal workout schedule! Pushing the AM workouts again and although an adjustment, I'm enjoying having the evenings back!

So You Think You...Have a Voice?

Huh??

Time to make a confession. I have a guilty little pleasure...or two. The Voice and SYTYCD. Oh how I loooove summer time talent shows! Growing up in choir, theater and dance, I just can't help it!

America got it right on the voice. Javier Colon (pronounced "cologne", but what an unfortunate spelling!) was crowned the winner. Go team  Adam! I was very happy that Dia Frampton was a very close second. She'll go far in her career, but I'm ready for Javier's first album. Mmmm...I could fall asleep to his voice. Ahem, sorry...got lost in thought there for a moment. ;)
He's not bad on the eyes either though.

I am a little sad that the show is over until next season though. It means I don't get my weekly dose of Adam Levine.

I mean...whoa! ;)

So - I must say that The Voice > American Idol! Like, by far! Not that I've watched AI in about 4ish years, but The Voice is definitely a better concept! 'Cept for Christina... She is sadly a hot mess these days. Kinda minus the hot though!

Now - onto an even more exciting show. So You Think You Can Dance. LOVER it!! Great season so far too. However, it is always disappointing to me when one of my favorite and one of my least favorite dancers get paired together. This year, it's Miranda and Robert. Not only does Miranda look like she's from Who-ville and has a super gummy smile (pet peeve), I don't think she's all that fantastic. The judges just love her though. Robert on the other hand is charming, genuine and a pretty fantastic dancer! He makes me smile!

This is a very flattering picture of her...

Now - I think Melanie and Marko may be my all-time favorite couple! Both amazing, adorable and ridiculously talented. I'll just go ahead and admit (since I'm in a confession giving state of mind) that I am one of those that will never vote for these shows, but get mad when my favorites don't win. I know, I know... Anywho - here's a picture of Melanie and Marko...vote for them...for me! ;)
