Drink of the day

Apparently studying for the bar exam leads you to want to consume copious amounts of alcohol. J spends his day studying and plays bartender by night. Fun for me. With all those lawyer juices flowing, the drinks get more creative by the day.

Tonight's drink: the lemon sweet tea. 

Firefly did most of the work for him on this one. But he made it his own by adding Crystal Light Pure fitness lemon lime mix and club soda. Easy and yummy.

Worth It

We havnt gone to see a movie in several months, which is a bit unusual when you are married to a movie guru. But we've been seeing some good flicks via netflix lately (see the side panel for our list). Tonight, however, we headed to the Rave on quite a whim to see Get Him to the Greek. Its sort of  the sequel to Forgetting Sara Marshall, but not really. I have to honestly say, it was absolutely the funniest movie I have ever seen. Not family friendly by any means, but laugh out loud, try not to pee in your pants hilarious. (Movies these days have to be good in order for me to drop $20 just to sit for two hours.) Im not great at movie reviews, but trust me, this is a funny gem.

In other news: my dog is cute

Special finds

I was searching craig's list for a bigger dog crate when I came across this gem that just had to be shared. I dont know why it came up when i searched "dog." I understand why this one was included. I hope he sets up shop on my street...

They just keep coming.

Landon Donovan: my hero

This past wed substitute a bar for my office and a crazy crowd for three of my coworkers, and you still had world cup hysteria. We were still screaming and high fiving like crazy. I could watch Donovan's goal over and over and never get over it. Watch the goal, if you havent seen it, then watch the montage. It is a bit long, but funny at parts and def makes you feel a little more patriotic.  You can see why the crowd hesitates at times because of the Algeria goalie blocking the first attempt, the second shot by Donovan hit the honey hole. You would think we had already won the thing, but second round it good for us. Enjoy.

Socializin

Last night we had our first social of the new Rotaract board term at The Club. It was a bit toasty, but once the sun went behind some clouds, going outside was doable. We had a really good turnout

even in your late twenties and early thirties, there is still the sorority girl pose. We cant get away from it!

Emily, if I didnt know you, i would not have believed you had a baby a month ago, lookin good momma!

color coordinated. Thats how Sherelle and I roll.

and just in case you mis Mac during the day as much as I do....

hey buddy.

Today I am taking the afternoon off and we are playing with the 10 (not joking) King Charles Spaniels across the street. They breed them, in case someone wants one. Im just hoping he doesnt eat one. Since having mac, and taking him on walks and runs daily, i have had a chance to meet so many new people in the neighborhood, not to mention get more exercise (im down 3 pounds since the little man!) One couple just around the corner is young, no kids, cats, and almost bought our house before we did. They said the yard scared them (touche). One's  trash is another's treasure! Anyways, they seem cool, i hope to meet up with them again soon. We are also dog sitting for Lucy, my sisters sweet mutt while they are in Jackson Hole on vacation for a week (super jealous). Lucy is not a huge fan of mac. Mostly because he just tries to bite her all over; his way of playing. So it will be a dog filled weekend. Hopefully pool time is included too! Happy Friday friends.

Summer Remix

If you havent checked out the new "design" tab on the top right of your blogspot dashboard, its pretty neat. Be prepared to spend waay too much time playing with blog design thought. Im on puppy duty, so not much time to write, but enjoy some pics of last night when Mac got to spend time with Sam & Bob. (enjoy kara)

Surprisingly, Mac held his own again these big pups. We had some issues with personal space since Bob isnt yet snipped, but mac def let him know when boundaries were being crossed. No means No Bob.

 

He crashed when we got home. Not before I had a chance to give him some lovin though.
