Thanks to all for the dress suggestions! I'm still on the hunt for the perfect dress.....but I got this cute seersucker swimsuit at Target instead. Oops. I'm going to go shop tomorrow, so hopefully it will be a successful trip that I can post about.

Gotta go for now....I'm going to see Sex and the City this afternoon! CAN'T WAIT!

Memorial Day Weekend

Happy Memorial Day, everyone. This is my first day off since I started my new job - it's nice to have a break, but I keep thinking about everything I need to get done tomorrow to make up for being off! That's not much of a vacation, but I'll be taking the first 2 Fridays of June off for weddings and such.

Hubby and I have had a really nice weekend. On Friday, I went outlet shopping with my sister. Of course with the intention of buying dresses to wear to upcoming wedding excursions - but we left with everything but that. No surprise of course. :) Does anyone have any suggestions on a cute but affordable dress that I can wear all summer to weddings? I don't want to spend a fortune since I have a ton of dresses, but my excuse is that I've worn them all several times before and need a change. I love this dress at J.Crew but I worry about the fit - I'm not the same size on top (XS) as on bottom (M) (thanks mom - haha). I'd love to hear your ideas.

Back to the weekend - On Saturday, my sister, her boy, hubby and I went to Brew at the Zoo at the Atlanta Zoo. It was so much fun! It was a beer tasting sponsored by Sweetwater and we could walk around checking out the animals after normal visiting hours. I was of course over served, so I was feeling a little rough on Sunday. Nothing that a day at the pool couldn't fix! So Sunday and today were spent at out neighborhood pool. There is something that has annoyed me this weekend. SOAPBOX ALERT. So my hubby and I can't find our pool key. So on Saturday, we made our way up to the pool and asked a lady very nicely that was already in there if she could let us in. We explained the situation and she said "NO, you have to PAY to get in here." Well no sh*t Sherlock - we just paid 700 dollars last month so that we could get into the pool. She was not nice about it. Hoochie wouldn't let us in. I was shocked. She unnecessarily escalated the situation. My husband has now made it his summer goal to rub our pool key (when we find it) in her face. I know that we needed our pool key, but it was the first day that the pool was open give us a break.

Sorry, I needed to vent.

Another thing - anyone else down south suffering from allergies this year? They're awful for me. Any suggestions or personal experiences?? Oh, and I know that I've been MIA but I'm still reading and commenting whenever I can. Promise! :)

CNN Special....Sans Moi

I've been a very bad blogger as of late. I've definitely been reading and enjoying all of your blogs, but it just doesn't seem like there is very much exciting going on right now!

I do have one funny story to tell though. I'll try to make a long story short, I promise. So I organized for some musicians to come to the hospital recently (again not saying names) that all are involved in a foundation in our area. Their foundation had a big event this week so CNN wanted to film our event! I was super stressed, I wanted to make sure that everything went perfectly. I didn't even think about them asking me to be filmed!!!!! Ah!!! So I was even more nervous, and I TOTALLY CHOKED!!!! And guess who is now laying on the cutting room floor......of course me. :( But it was a fun experience, and the footage that they did use was really well done and great exposure for our hospital. So yea!

Maybe next time!

Another Wanted: Business Card Holder

Happy Friday everyone!

Does anyone know where I can get a desktop business card holder? I'm looking for practical and not too cutesy so it will last me. My co-worker C has a cute ceramic Georgia one that's really fun. And I do work in a children's hospital so it can be fun. :) Maybe with my monogram on it?

Any suggestions? You guys are the best. :)

Found: Wellies

Thank you so much to everyone for their suggestions on the wellies! I found some cute ones at Target, being a good Scottish girl I chose plaid of course. :)

















Work is going really well - I coordinated my first visit today at the hospital! An Atlanta Falcon's player came in today, and it was awesome to see the excitement on the kids faces. It is so great to see an influential person in our Atlanta community who genuinely wants to make a difference. I'm loving my job! Hope that everyone is having a great week!

Wanted: Wellies

Does anyone know where I could get rain boots? Since we're still in a drought in Georgia, I haven't been able to find any. :) I need to get a pair for work.....we're doing a skit with the theme "April Showers Bring May Flowers" on May 1st. Any ideas?? I love J.Crew's, but they're a little more than I want to spend. I was hoping to spend around 20 bucks.


Here's a pic of the pair I like from J.Crew:























Thank you! Hope that everyone is having a great weekend.
