Party planning

I'm a planner. I like to plan things. And by things I mostly mean parties. I love to plan having people over. And I generally tend to go overboard. Girls night, Friday pasta dinners, Christmas Eve, etc.

And right now it's fight night. There are some Bellator fights on Friday night and I'm having people over. So. I need a menu. Food and drinks. All the drinks. :)

Nobody has a race on Saturday, so we don't have to have pasta. I always want to do something fun and not the standard party food. That's boring. 

The fights start late, so maybe not a full dinner. I'm always dying for a reason to make a cheese plate. And I recently saw a "dip party" on Pinterest and while I don't want a ton of dips, I love a good hummus or two and maybe one more dip. And the fresh market has some pretty good flat bread pizzas. Is that enough? Too much? Who knows. 

Now for the drinks. S wants to bring his margarita machine. Cool. And I want one of my favorite drinks ever, the perfect pear - pear vodka, st Germaine, lemonade and prosecco. Yum. And of course other booze and beer. 

I may change my mind five or ten times between now and then but that's what I'm thinking right now. Thoughts? What would you make?

Here's what: August 15

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week... If you haven't seen this photo of Usain Bolt winning the men's 100m at the IAAF World Championships, you might be living under a rock. There are five sessions, and some pretty good events, left to go at Worlds. And Team USA is currently sitting atop the medal table with a total of 10 medals - 4 gold, 5 silver and 1 bronze. So...I joined a local running club. And I signed up for the marathon training program! Not that I'm signed up for an actual marathon or anything. This particular training group is training for my race, so I can't exactly run that. There are weekly track sessions and long runs are on Saturdays. The program lasts for 22 weeks. Well but we've already missed two weeks bc of other commitments. E and I will be doing this together. We'll see how this goes.  Towards the end of September is something called Social Media Week. It is a leading media platform and worldwide event ...

Are these really the same shoes?

I was so excited to order the pink nike pegasus sneakers that I was swooning over last week. After everything that happened, it was my way of cheering my self up. Then they came in the mail. Now don't get me wrong, I still love them, but I don't love them as much. In person, they are much darker than the picture would have you believe. They are even darker than the picture I took. Must be something about this pink, it always looks brighter in the photo. They look so similar in these pictures. But in person. It's almost a different shoe. Oh well. At least they were on sale. In unrelated news...I called the insurance company on the premise of telling them I was moving but really just wanting an update on my claim. Well the really nice man at State Farm took my banking info so that I wouldn't miss the check, it would just be direct deposited. And he forwarded my claim to someone else to make sure they get started working on. Fingers crossed maybe they will get it d...

Here's what: Dec. 20

Here's what three things I'm obsessed with this week: I. want. this. outfit . And I was totally willing to pay the $350 to get that skirt and sweater. Even though I have absolutely no where to wear it. I would have figured something out. But they don't have the skirt in my size. And I thought about getting the sweater anyway, but it just wouldn't be the same. I will continue to stalk it online however, in the hopes that the skirt comes back. And after a night out in the outfit, I would come home and put on these Ugg slippers . Ya, I said. Uggs. I like them. And I'm proud of it. Get over it. Still obsessed with getting a puppy. So cute. And it's not like I'm traveling for work anymore. But I do work some crazy hours I guess.  They are just so stinking cute. So if anyone has a little french bulldog puppy to give away, you know where to find me.
