Howdy!

Weekend with my friends went GREAT. Saturday even ended with a dance off onstage at the local watering hole. A sure sign of a successful trip, no?

Yesterday we laid around all…day…long making pizza, watching the Bears Game – then tuning into the Golden Globes.

I usually don’t get sucked into awards shows, but for some reason I watched the entire red carpet and awards ceremony. Who am I? Some favorite dresses included:

Sofia Vergara – I loved how she was all, “yes, I know I look awesome.” You go girl!

Lea Michele – I WANT her teeth. They are SO perfect! Have you ever noticed?

Eva Longoria – I like how she’s super short, but doesn’t look super short. Gives hope to all us 5’2 and below’ers out there!

Did not love Julianne Moore’s look. Sorry, it had to be said.

Whose looks did you love/hate?

At any rate, I don’t have work today, because of the holiday, so I was up bright and early to get some grocery shopping done for the week.

UMM I WAS 1 OF 3 PEOPLE IN TRADER JOE’S. 1 of 3 people! It was absolutely amazing! Free to saunter and shop without the crush of hundreds of other eager shoppers. Loved it!

I think in an ideal world I would always do my grocery shopping on Mondays. That way all your produce is super fresh for the week, etc. Yeah, I really liked it.

Treated myself to a short, skinny, no-foam vanilla Starbucks latte while I was out.

Apparently Starby’s new logo hasn’t made it to central Iowa yet! We’ll get there.

Then whipped up a light breakfast of an English Muffin with butter at home.

Like I always say – it’s the simple tastes in life that I really adore. Hot, toasty bread + butter = the best.

In other news, this weekend I discovered the sad fact that Google Calendar doesn’t actually do your to-do’s, rather, it just organizes them. Drat. Therefore, today will be a catch up day.

I am already SO excited for dinner tonight, though. It’s CHEESY. Stay tuned!

What did your high school prom dress look like?

My sophomore year I wore this hideous, pale-yellow ball gown with a poofy skirt, spaghetti straps and like, sparkly daisies or something, on top. My senior year dress was this awesome, white-satin, strapless princess-type dress with silver, sparkly sequins on top. I LOVED it, until I showed up and another girl I knew well was wearing the exact same thing. Standard!
