Bananas, party of 1?

by Allison on July 28, 2010 in Home · 10 comments

crazy face

This is how I feel right now, only minus the makeup and styled hair.

1. I haven’t slept a full night in, um, well it’s been a while

2. I’m not showered right now and my hair and makeup are not super hot.

3. My house?  You don’t even want to know what my house looks like.  And I don’t mean that in a cute hyperbole type way, I mean that in a *the police are on their way over to pick up your children* kind of way.

4. My lawn is dead.  I’ve been a little too distracted to keep up on the watering.

5. My SocialLuxe Lounge party?  The one in 8 days?  It’s going to be awesome but man, the work.  Oh, the work is enough to put down a full team of horses.

6. I say that because I own a horse, and they’re strong creatures, but they’ve never planned an event in NYC for 350 bloggers before.

7. Horses have it easy.

8. Maybe I can be a horse in my next life.  But only if I get to live on Ree’s ranch.

9. Do horses get to drink Diet Dr. Pepper?  Maybe I take that back.

10.  I’m not functioning at 100%.  In fact, I’m functioning at probably less than 50%.  I’m in a bit of pain right now.

11.  This too shall pass.

12.  Pass the crazy will you, we’re all out down here.

Hope you’re having a great day wherever you are, mine is halfway over, which is something to be grateful for!

frozen grape snack.

frozen grape

Have you ever frozen grapes for a quick little snack?  Honestly, in the heat of the summer it’s one of the best things out there.

Wash your grapes, put them in a gallon Ziploc freezer bag {you know how I love the Ziploc} and pop them in the freezer.  They make little morsels of tasty frozen-ness.

If you want to get crazy and take it to a whole new level of yum, soak the grapes in 7-UP, Sprite, or something equally bubbly and delicious for about an hour before you freeze.

Delicious!

I have a bit of a thing for makeup, in case you haven’t noticed.  If my house were on fire and all the kids and family heirlooms made it out alright, the next thing I’d grab would be my Maybelline mascara.  You know the stuff in the pink tube with the green lid?  Yes, that [...]

A little while ago a company called William Riera sent me some dresses to check out, along with the most beautiful turquoise necklace you’ve ever seen.  I try on a lot of clothes, it’s part of my genetic makeup.  Sometimes I change outfits more than twice a day.  I’d apologize, but it’s just who I [...]
