Fashion . . . Put it all on me

Daisy

Two months ago, I challenged myself to workout four times a week until my sister's wedding. The reward for reaching my goal? A perfume that I have wanted for what seems like forever.



Well, my sister's wedding is approaching and so far I have been true to my goal. So I decided to place my order tonight so that it will arrive before I leave. I can hardly contain my excitement! And since I ordered it from Sephora, I get all kinds of fun free samples. It should all arrive in a week!!

Cowboy Take Me Away

I have never really been into cowboys, but there is just something about a man in a cowboy hat and boots that does something to me. I want to the PG Rodeo last night and I quite enjoyed it. The smell was almost unbearable (we sat right above the cow pen and their smell was emanating up through the bleachers) but there were some nice specimens to look at. I think guys just look so much more manly at a rodeo.

I have always been terrified of horses, but I have to admit that they are beautiful creatures. I almost wished I was one of the rodeo queens wearing skin tight pink wranglers with a matching pink sequined top riding around waving a flag.

I think my favorite part was watching the motocross boys. I held my breath every time they jumped the truck or whatever it was they were jumping. I'm sure they were like 15 years old, but it was hot. I think it's probably the fact that they appear to have no fear. That is extremely attractive.

Also, I started reading "Twilight" today and I am over half way through it. I will probably end up finishing it tonight. So good!

I Can't Stop Smiling!

I have been having the most fantastic week. I don't really want to go into all the details in fear of who reads this, if anyone, but let's just say things are going SOOOO much better at work. First of all, I am going to NYC in August for a trade show! I am going to fly out a few days early to hangout with friends and do some shopping. I really didn't think they were going to send me, but I asked anyway and low and behold the answer was yes! Thank you Wayne Gretzky for your wise words "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." I am seriously trying to live by them.

Second, my title is now Events Coordinator and I am no longer doing marketing. I just didn't have time to do it all, though I wish I could. But I get to stick to my passion and I am thrilled. One step closer to my dream job. Not quite sure what that is, but I know it will have something to do with planning some kind of event.

Third, my friend Cassandra got married yesterday and I was present during the Temple ceremony. It was my first and I am so happy for Sassy Cass and Montel. I also got to see some good friends and that always makes me happy.

Fourth, the LA Lakers lost. That made me very happy.

Fifth, the Victoria's Secret semi-annual sale is going on right now. I don't think I need to say anymore about that. I went twice today.

Sixth, did I mention that I am going to NYC?!

Ok, so you can all continue to be jealous of how happy I am. I hope that everyone else is doing well too!

I Can't Breathe!

Shopping for a bed?

Because watching people fall is just so funny.

Goodbye, Tim Russert!

Obviously people die every day. Famous people die all the time, but usually I'm not affected. Heath Ledger was a difficult one to get over, and now Tim Russert has died. Most of you probably don't know who he is, but he was a political commentator for NBC. I am an avid watcher of "Today" and he made an appearance almost every morning talking about the upcoming election. Since I watch "Today" while I am getting ready, I don't usually watch, I listen. I had become very familiar with Tim's voice and I really enjoyed listening to his comments. I am usually not a fan of politics, but I seriously enjoyed the way he reported them. When I first saw that he died, I was seriously in shock. Even though I didn't know him personally, his death did make me stop and think like death usually does.




Life is short and death can come at anytime. As a planner, I hate that I don't know when it will come, but the good thing is that I can prepare myself on a daily basis. Not that I want to prepare to die, but I want to prepare myself to be judged on my actions here on earth.
