Fun-ness

I guess you could say, if you really wanted to, Facebook has had an interesting effect on our lives, yeah?


Okay, so like most, I’ve reconnected with friends from as early as my elementary school days back in Mingo Junction, erroneously "friended" men while still in the "getting to know phase", appeared in various embarrassing pics, met a brother and sister after 28 years of living and then a cousin, ran across the former best lay of my lifetime, the person I’ve shared the MOST embarrassing moment of my life with, which has caused me to never think of BBQ tongs and a flashlight in the same way, and then this guy:
Through all that reconnection stuff, I pleasantly bumped into this old junior high chum, which spurred a partner to attend Southlake's Art in the Square.

No, my main purpose for attendance had absolutely nothing to do with modern art, it was all about the frozen bellini, which by the way was totally rad although I think it significantly contributed to a slight case of the poopsies.

While at Art in the Square I saw heaps of art, dancing kids, listened to Rastafarian type-hippy looking singers and the world's worst story-teller, played with an iPad, spun a wheel & won a voucher for a large pizza and took in strange events including a hot make out session and a couple walking their...birds.

Take a peek, Friends:

Thank you for entering. I wish I could give you all something :/

It's Almost Goodbye For Us, Weekend :/

As you know, I'm all moved in, still mostly packed-up, uni is out and after nesting alone last weekend, I'm getting back into the swing of things.

Friday was a long, long day spent with 18 kids, meeting up with Sally, the maker of the Revolution Garden give-away prize, and then onto a get together to celebrate the growing of a little baby inside her momma's tummy, a wedding, a no longer broken arm and the departure of chicken pox.

I had a nice time and am thankful for the parents who put this night together. I had to call it quits after 2 hours to make it to another engagement, but was pooped by the time I finally made it home. I slept. Running since 7AM, a day full of buzz followed by a night of wine and jump rope will really put a girl down. I desperately tried to get my mojo back Saturday, alas it waned as the day progressed. Visiting Pour House in Fort Worth didn't provide the jump start longed for. Hot and handsome hunks few and far between with minimal room for dance, I stayed glued to my chair.

On the upside, it's always great to have pineapple drinks and get crunknificent with your homies.

Wishing everyone a WONDERFUL week,

Stephanie :D

Revolution Garden Give-Away!

I’ve entered give-away after give-away only to win…nothing, but hey, that’s part of the fun. I’m no sore loser, plus it’s kinda like a lotto ticket, right!?

So, join in the fun, take a gamble and enter my give-away!

I spent time with a talented friend, Sally, who sells the cutest of cute vintage-inspired handmade accessories from hair pins to home accents, party supplies and decor, original artwork, jewelry, and more with her painting pal, Katie via their Etsy shop, Revolution Garden.

In the midst of catching up on girl talk, we discussed what would be given away. Here’s what we came up with:

Turquoise is such a hot, versatile color, especially in this dreary, cold weather. You’re gonna look sassy at a holiday party (or anywhere for that matter!) with this bad boy clipped to your head!

If a hair pin isn’t for you, that’s fine. I understand! You can also enter to win the infamous “Pizza Farts” jar mentioned at my former blogging locale. You can enter to win both items.

To enter, leave a comment specifying which item you'd like to win, check out the girls' work @ Revolution Garden, and spread the word- *ahem*we all love our pages being linked :D


**give-away ends Friday, 12-19-09**
