Go Shorty, It's Ya Birfday!

My Grandmother’s 90th Birthday is coming up and as with any major birthday, we’ve prepared a surprise party! In addition, I’ve been diligently working on a sign in book that consists of pages of pictures of my grandmother from her 90 years thus far on this earth. I’ve been scanning them into the computer, editing them and then loading them onto layouts on snapfish.com. While the scanning and editing part totally sucked, it actually has been a lot of fun asking my grandmother about each of the pictures and learning the story that goes with them. I also have to highly recommend snapfish.com as the book arrived at my house in perfect condition 2 days after I ordered it!

“It's like that book I read in the 9th grade that said 'tis a far far better thing doing stuff for other people”

It’s better to give, than receive … ish. I’d be lying if I said that I’d rather give a gift than get one. With that being said, those that know me know that I do love finding the most perfect gift when giving. I enjoy the little joys I get out of finding the best gift. I often put a lot of thought and energy into it, wrapping it so perfectly that the outward appearance is almost as good as the inward. This past week I attended the Bloomingdale’s “Private Sale” pre – sale, scoring a deal on a great Marc by Marc Jacobs bag. The minute I laid my eyes on it, I knew it would be a great birthday present for my pal, Andria. Throw in some totally fetch MAC cosmetics and bammo: the perfect gift!

Hakuna Matata Mother Effer

Greg Giraldo is one of my favorite comedians. He is so funny. He delivers his jokes the best of anyone I’ve ever seen and his rants are off the wall. A huge group of us go to see him whenever he is in town. I can’t get enough! You can imagine how pleased I was when I saw that he released a new CD and DVD, Midlife Vices, last October! I immediately special ordered both and I am eagerly looking forward to watching/listening!

I Scream, You Scream, We all Scream for ICE CREAM!

Lately I’ve been doing what I have to, to get this bod in shape; however when Baskin Robin’s has 31 cent scoop night, I’m all over it! The place was a mob scene … and rightfully so. I got myself a nice little 3 scoop medley of Oreo Cookies and Cream, Cookie Dough, and Reeses Peanut Butter Swirl, then raced back home for a glass of milk and an few episodes of The Office. A nice little Wednesday indeed!

Heaven Let Your Light Shine Down ...

We recently renovated our kitchen and slowly, we are putting the final touches on it. I have been in search of a chandelier that fits our style, goes with our personality and pulls the space together, giving off a decent amount of light. Our kitchen has kind of a rustic, cozy feel and once I laid my eyes on this puppy, I knew it was ideal for our space. I absolutely love it!

Getin' My Face On

Two times a year I am lucky enough to score passes to the Estee Lauder Warehouse sale on Long Island. They have the best deals on MAC, Clinique, Bumble and Bumble, DKNY perfumes and much, much more. After hours of searching and narrowing my choices down, I left with a select few items. I can’t say the same of my mom though, who walked away yet again, spending a small fortune!
