Me Party


Over Christmas in Houston I finally got to see my boyfriend Jason Segal in The Muppets. It as amazing. My personal favorite song was Me Party. The lyrics were hilarious. Please see below. To get the full experience go here and listen to the song!

I look around
And once again I'm on my own
My man ain't here
He's gone and done me wrong
No one's gonna stop this girl from having fun
I throw my hands up high and have a party for one

I'm having a Me Party
A party by myself
A Me Party
I don't need nobody else
I'm having a Me Party
I'm the first and last to show
There's no one at this party that I don't already know

I'm not gonna sit around
By myself and wait for you
Haven't you heard? One is the new two
I'm gonna make a scene
I'm gonna make a fuss
Tonight I'm gonna celebrate with just the one of us

I'm having a Me Party
I don't need no invitation
A Me Party
I just want the conversation
Me Party
I just need one, not two
You do the math, frog
It means I don't need you

I won't lie, there are times when I wish I was with you
There are days when all this girl can see is a world that's made for two
At times like this I feel all alone and like nobody cares
But I only have to call my name and darling I'll be there

I'm having a Me Party
Haven't I seen me here before?
A Me Party
I'm the last one on the dance floor
Me Party
A party just for moi
Me Party
It's a solo Mardi Gras
Having a Me Party
I'm such great company
A Me Party
I'll save the last dance for me

What happens at a Me Party
Stays at a Me Party

Pioneer Woman Does it Again


I think I have mentioned before how I love The Pioneer Woman. I keep entering contests on her blog and keep hoping to wine. It hasn't happened yet but one day it will. Today she opened my eyes in a whole new way that made not being a contest winner okay. Y'all, she had a picture of a monkey riding a dog. Whiplash is his name and he is pretty much awesome. Thank you pioneer woman for brightening my gloomy dark and rainy day. Not complaining because we need the rain!

I've Joined the 21st Century


This weekend I got a Kindle Fire from DS and AH for Christmas/Birthday! Earlier this year they asked if I would be interested in a kindle and my answer was no. I get my books from the library and kindle books cost money. I could be it being the slippery shopping slope that itunes is. I mean that doesn't feel like you are spending money! When I found out the library was now allowing people to rent ebooks, I was ready for a kindle. I mentioned that if they were thinking about a kindle again, that I was now interested. I didn't need anything fancy, just the basic one to read one. I was shocked when I opened it and it was the fire. I didn't even know what to do I was so excited. I also didn't really know what to do because me and technology are not BFF's. I am slowly getting the hang of it which is nice. If any of my kindle owning friends want to let me borrow books off their kindle I am down. I would say you can borrow from me too but I just downloaded A Christmas Carol and Alice in Wonderland for free.

I wish I was a wizard


I am working my way thru the Harry Potter audio books. I have read all of the books but wanted to listen to the books. The reader, Jim Dale is wonderful and brings the stories to life. Currently on The Order of the Phoenix. One thing has become very clear as I listen along, I wish I was a wizard. It seems so awesome. A special wand, a sorting hat that tells you what house you are going to be in. Just very appealing at the moment. If you haven't read the Harry Potter series I highly recommend it. Or if you have a long drive coming up get the audio books to listen to.

Another Day, Another Animal Print


In keeping with my animal print topic, I thought you should know that I have been patiently waiting for this purse from J Crew to go on sale. It hasn't happened yet so I will continue to wait.

Animal Print


One of my dear friends in Austin, LEG, doesn't like animal print. I love it and am happy we don't allow such a serious topic and issue tear our friendship apart.
I have long wanted these Sam Edelman flats.
She tells me they look like pimp shoes. I have refrained from purchasing them. Also, they are pretty impossible to find since I am not the only one who loved these pimp shoes.

What are your thoughts, do you like animal print because I just can't seem to get enough of it, esp. in my footwear.

Seacrest Out


If I was Ryan Seacrest would I were my own company's hat? I mean it's fine if it's not named after you but a Ryan Seacrest production hat seems like overkill. I can't believe Julianne went out in public with him.

Lego Amazingness


The kid in me loves these Lego water bottles. These would be a great gift or stocking stuffer for any of your friends that grew up loving Legos!

Travel Bag



I have been carrying around my toiletries bag for about 6 years and it is from Target. I love it but it has seen better days. I would be all for buying a newer version of it but they don't seem to make one. I was reading some random blog and their suggestions for holiday gifts today and came across this beauty from Stephanie Johnson. I have no idea who Stephanie is but I like her style. Alas I won't be purchasing this. Please see previous budget post as to reason why. But if any of my readers need a kick ass bag, I will be very jealous if you make this yours!

Airline Travel


Yes Victoria Beckham, I also wear this same outfit when traveling. Nothing says comfort like a tight dress and high boots.

On a separate note, that baby Harper is precious and always has cute outfits on. Watch out Suri!

Holiday Decorations


I don't think I'll be decorating my little abode for the holiday season. If I was going to this wreath would be the perfect entrance to a winter wonderland.

A budget

Thursday I started something called a budget. I am sure some of you have heard of this crazy thing. Something had to change. After a not fun convo with my mother about money that ended in me crying I put my thinking cap on. Here is a crazy idea: I am going to use cash. I really should write a book with this killer never been considered idea. I have $100 a week to use for food, fun, groceries etc. Sorry friends if you wanted to hang out and do something expensive. I have seriously planned out my weeks with allotments of money for things on my schedule. Friends I am having lunch or a meal with, fear not I already budgeted you in for that week. Otherwise I am being cheap so who wants to meet for coffee or frozen yogurt?? It's really not very fun having to do this but it's necessary. I am almost 29 yrs old and must get serious about my finances. I was talking about this with my BFF on Wednesday night. I said one week I am seeing Beauty and the Beast, the musical and between the ticket price and drinks before it was half my budget. I also said I guess when you are poor you don't see the arts and she said yeah, you are probably right. This made me very sad. I love the arts. I will just eat ramen to go to the arts.

Also, if you hear of me selling my bone marrow, plasma, or eggs, please stop me. But really how much do eggs go for??

Yuck


Anyone else seen the ad for Patron XO Cafe? I can think of nothing that sounds worst. Coffee Liquor made with tequila. Gag me with a spoon.
