I am being very LAZY.....seriously...

My friend Lisa from Turtle Lisa tagged me, so I am doing this because I adore her.  However, I may not tag anyone else because seriously I am being super lazy these days! So the deal was the person that tags you gets to ask you 11 random questions and in turn you can ask 11 random questions to the 11 you tag. So here goes.  While you are at it check out Lisa's blog.  She is very funny.  It is about her adventures in becoming a runner.  I admire her and wish I too had the energy to run....did I say how lazy I have been recently.

1. If you could change your first name, what name would you choose?
Tarin-I had a young girl babysit my kids a few years ago and that was her name.  Cute, right!  I know I would never find a pre-printed toothbrush or key chain again with that name.  Oh well Jenny will do.
2. Do you have siblings? If so, how many?
Yes, 3 sisters (1 twin, 1 half and 1 step) and 1 brother (half)
3. What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?
Gold medal ribbon- Baskin Robbins
4. Milk chocolate or dark chocolate?
Dark
5. What's your dream job?
Wedding/party planner, but as I get older I get less patient with people so maybe not...brides are crazy.
6. Do you take compliments well?
Nope
7. What is your favorite physical attribute?
Skip (as in this question)
8. Which article of clothing do you own that always makes you feel beautiful?
Whatever hides the fat.  A girdle
9. Dogs or cats?
I am not a huge animal person.  I like them when they belong to others.  I have a cat and he is a hot mess.
10. Have you broken any bones? Which ones and how old were you?
Nope
11. Absolute favorite vacation spot (or dream vacation spot)?
Hawaii....been there and want to go back.

I have been busy....I got married....

My son did this during the whole ceremony....too cute.

Most but not all the guest!

It was a lovely day with lovely ladies.  The theme was a fresh start.  Most of the foods were lemon or lime based, since they tend to seem fresh!

SUYL- What I have read and am reading now....Kelly's Korner

I read The Help this year and it was awesome.  Like Kelly@Kelly's Korner  I am also excited to see the movie!

I was listening to NPR in the car the other day and heard Tina Fey talk about her new book Bossypants.  I went out and bought it that day.  It is a little racy, but she really is hilarious!

I also finished a book by John Grisham titled The Appeal and Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger.  Both to me were okay.  They both took a while to get into.

I just put down another book, so I could start on Tina Fey's book and that book has been so hard to get into I cannot even remember the name of it!









Need some ideas for gift giving.....

Recently I have become affiliated with 2PreppyGirls an online botique selling all things preppy and personalized!  I have been following the owner Margaret's blog 2PreppyGirls for a long time now.  Margaret is a local Virginian like myself!  We have some common places we have been and lived and we have developed an online friendship.  She really is an awesome lady!  Her review of the Lemair Resteraunt last year is what prompted me to go eat there with my daughter for her birthday before we went to see Wicked last year! If this lady says it is great then it is, so I am so happy to be affiliated with her business!

A flat note card.  Perfect for the graduate to say thank you or just to send a sweet note to a friend.  There are so many choices for personalized notes!

How cute is this cutting board! This is perfect for a bride or as a gift for a housewarming party!

Oh my Tervis Tumblers.  You can buy sets that are monogrammed just for that someone special; maybe you?  You can also purchase sets that say "bridesmaid" and "groomsmen".  They come in sets of 4 so you can buy a set and split it up and put it with something else as that special "thank you" to your attendants!

How about an adorable personalized key fob for your babysitter, bus driver, teenager or yourself!
