Bollywood

1/2 JJ (she may be renamed "Rita" for the blog-I'm still debating) had a Bollywood themed birthday party last night. There was Indian food, Indian music, and Bollywood movies playing on the TV. It was great and check out how fabulous we looked.




I didn't have anything to wear (there were others in Western clothes also) but as soon as I arrived Nimi took me upstairs to borrow some Indian jewelry and that quickly turned into me wearing one of her tunics as well. It was so beautiful and comfortable!
All in all it was a great night with great friends.

Twitter Updates

Okay, I am so far behind in my blogging and I was afraid if I wrote "Halloween Update", no one would read because Halloween is so last week. Hee hee!

Hubz and I dressed as "Facebook" and "Twitter" for Halloween:

His costume was more of a play on words and mine was a cheesy home made (obvs) costume (you can't see all the details in the pic, it was better in real life) but was fun because it was interactive. I made strips for me, Hubz, and generic users to "tweet" all night and we did!
My parents stayed at our house to give candy to the trick or treaters since they live in the country and never get any, and so we could go to our friend's annual Halloween party. At the neighborhood chili cook-off the next day, I found they were apparently suckers for any kid who said the knew us and gave them top choice of candy and lots of it. Plus, if anyone even claimed to be remote acquaintances with us they got to use our bathroom.

Friday night we went to a Stars game with these two:

Stars lost but we had fun cheering with our foam finger:

Presidential Dreams

So I woke up this morning with only one dream on my mind. Apparently in my dreams, I am dating President Barack Obama and he has to get checked by a doctor to determine if he will turn into a werewolf. Seriously??? What did I eat or what does this mean? Do I want power? Am I afraid of power? Do I think power turns you bad? Do I think Barack (yeah, apparently we've dated and are now on a first name basis) is shady and has an alter ego? Or is my mind just confused/crazy?
Alarm went off...Hubz turned it off, I tell him I dreamed of dating Barack Obama, he tells me he dreamed of folding laundry, and then we went back to sleep for 30 minutes...no jealously what-so-ever on his part that I was dreaming of another man...because you know Barack is totally within my reach and T should be scared..Ha!
Here's to non-crazy, understandable dreams tonight. Good Night Y'all!

Playing Hookey and Haircut

We were supposed to go camping this weekend with friends but that fell through. T is going to have to work this weekend. Anyway, I had already asked off for the day so I decided, what they heck! I'll stay home from work anyway. I'm going to lunch with Hubz soon and then it's off to get a manicure and do some shopping. I love playing hookey!
I got a hair cut last night. I went back to the short bob. I just feel more like me in it. This past year and a half though I wasn't doing it because my stylist has a hard time getting it right. Well, the last few times he highlighted my hair he fried it and I wasn't even that happy with the color. So I bit the bullet and drove to the 'burbs to get my hair cut and highlighted by my former stylist. She had not seen me since my wedding day but remembered my hair exactly. AND she was $90 cheaper. Crazy city prices.

What do you think?

As you can tell I'm still going Au-Natural.

This picture is probably a month old now but I never blogged about it and just found it on my camera. One of my book club friends, Ma, won a free wine tasting for 10 and invited me and T. It was so much fun!

My College Friends

So I had to send an email to the nearest and dearest from college today. While it was good news, it made me realize, we've grown up. Life changes us and we can't go back. I just hope that we're always friends despite the circumstance because I truly believe the past 10 (TEN did you read that??? TEN!) years of friendship have been real and everlasting over time and distance. I love 'em!

And here they are in no particular order and no explanation:

My Thoughts

Lots of things going through my mind right now...
-Decisions, decisions, DECISIONS
-Plans are a funny thing.
-How can you be unbelievably excited and sad about the exact same thing?
-Will this stress ever end?
-Did I really volunteer my few free moments at work to cover someone else's therapy after weeks of covering for someone else?
-I am so proud of my husband right now.
-I should do a Face Book cleanse.
-Should I start a private blog?
-What's the weather going to be like tomorrow?
-Is it harder to make friends the older you are?
-PRN work could be fun.
-My husband is amazing and I am so lucky to have him in my life.
-I need to make my Halloween costume soon.
-The Orchestra

No wonder, I've been tired. I can't sleep at night, too much running through my head. But if so many thoughts are keeping me up at night, that means I'm really living life and I can't complain about that.

Clean Underwear Optional-"Dirty" Secret

So Hubz is in Mobile, Al for business and his flights get delayed, meetings are rescheduled, yada, yada, yada...Long story short he thought he was only going to be there for the day but ended up staying over-night. Here is a snippet of our text messaging:

T: "looks like I'm coming home on the 6:05 flight tomorrow morning."
Me: "Glad it worked out. Getting a cheap hotel? Wearing your suit tomorrow? Funny."
T: "Yes and Yes"
Me: "At least buy underwear,"
T: "Nah. I'll be fine."

There you have it folks...my husband's "dirty" secret
