more Riley

Okay....so one post was not enough!!! Wednesday night...Matt worked late but was dying to break into the hospital to see our little Riley....so at about 8:30 (after visiting hours) we snuck back in to see our new little friend! Matt brought him the stupidist gift, that I won't even honor by mentioning(something he thought every man needs)...but we had a blast spending a little more time with Melissa, Anthony, and their new addition Riley!

I'm an Auntie!

He is perfect in every way! Thanks Anthony and Melissa for letting me be there for most of it! I wouldn't have missed it for the world...and Melissa...you're a champ!

PS- I think he looks like Melissa and her mom, Terry!

yard saling

Saturday I went yard saling for about an hour to see if I could find anything good in the few sales around our side of town. Here's what I found....I was pretty excited! Here's what I got for under $15 (+ a cup of coffee and scone from jittery joes and a morning's entertainment).

I got two pampered chef measuring spoons for a quarter a piece! They were in great condition, and this is something I've almost bought through pampered chef shows tons of times! I'm glad I waited.

I also found an unused White Barn Candle for $3. These run for $20+ most of the time at Bath & Body Works. It is Velvet Tublerose scented, yum!
Then I found a dog coat($0.50) ...which was COVERED in dog hair, but after a run through the washing machine it looked as good as new! It is a little big on the pups but maybe they will grow into it. Here, Bunny got a little jealous that Olive got some new clothes.
And, in my opinion, my favorite/most exciting find of the morning was a VERY old school (what I believe to be the 1st) Roomba robot vacuum cleaner. It needs a new battery pack (it won't hold a charge) but for $8 I was willing to take the risk! (I did end up having to spend about an hour cleaning it out)

cirque du soleil

Friday night, the Kelley's and ourselves ventured far and wide...all the way to Alabama...to see Cirque du Soleil. This was my first time in Alabama...and it was quite an interesting place, but perhaps not worth the 8 hour round-trip drive. Luckily we had good company, and laughed all the way there!

This Cirque du Soleil was celebrating its 25th anniversary, so we got some really great deals on the tickets. It was an Italian-esque show with MANY colors and exintricities! But I think we all had a great time and found it breath-taking. My personal favorite was the trapeze acts! They were phenominal!

Here's a video of my favorite part of the show we saw: Saltimbanco

flight of the conchords

So Saturday night was hands down one of the top most fun nights of my whole life! Accompanied by our dear friends Jason, Bethany, and Chad, we made the drive to Atlanta to see the long anticipated Flight of the Conchords Show at the Fox Theater. If you are unfamiliar with New Zealand's 4th most popular comedy duo....then I am sorry...you have not truly lived. Here are some of my favorite videos of their stand-up, very similar to what we were able to see, but over 2 hours long.

Business Time

After the show, and after drying my tears of laughter, we ventured outside to wait to meet them. We were not alone in this idea, many gathered in hope to get a picture or an autograph. But after 2 hours of waiting, the group of fans had thinned out a bit (not much, but a bit). Not only did we get pictures and autographs, we had the rare oportunity to talk with them a little. Here's Brett McKenzie signing Chad's cd.

And here he is signing Matt's FOTC teeshirt. I got him to sign my ticket, and we also snapped a picture together, but unfortunately it didn't turn out.

Here's Matt and Jemaine Clement looking like old chums. Matt claims that him and Jemaine were talking about New Zealand's forein policy with the states in this shot, but I think he was actually just getting him to sign his shirt.

And here is me and Jemaine! I was so star-struck....all I could think to say was...."I like your dance moves..." He laughed and responded by saying that they're working on a whole new show of just dance moves. Words are failing me to describe how incredible the night was...so I'll just leave you with this ___________________.

moustashe bash

A couple of weekends ago was Matt Bozeman's birthday...for which was another themed party...the moustache bash. Sorry to Jill for stealing these pictures from her blog, but hers turned out much better than mine, my camera was on the fritz that night.

Biologically, us girls had to improvise on growing some stashes....so we settled on drawn on eye-liner ones. Also, Casey and I worked diligently to make all the paper-moustaches seen on the wall.
The men grew their own. It was certainly sleezy.

And this is what my husband turned into. He was going for the Hyde from that 70's show-look. I truly believe that this is what Matt would look like full-time if I wasn't around...talk about a new reason to live! No need to thank me.....just another day of keeping scum like this off the streets....hehehehe Just kidding, sweetie! I love you even when you look like this.....just not quite as much.

guess what I had to do...again

Friday night I got a call from my boss at Barnes and Noble. He wanted to check to make sure I was cool with dressing up again as this week's character for storytime. I had fun last time, so I heard him out. Unfortunately Bob, as sweet as he is, is a bit of a mumbler and I could have sworn he asked me to be Flipper. I was really excited about being a dolphin, and Bethany even helped me practice walking backwards, clapping, and making dolphin noises. Although, neither of us could recall ever hearing about Flipper books.

When I got to work a little early on Saturday morning...I went to the check out to purchase a book before my shift began, and Tim, the bookseller on call, said, "So I hear you're going to be Clifford today." I responded with a sigh and said, "OH!....Clifford...."

Like before, I was lead to a large crate in the back....when I said this before I wasn't lying. I was a little nervous about what lied within...

Here is Clifford creeping out of the box.. . I thought this was super creepy! Unlike last time....I had to dress myself in this costume...which took a lot of effort. This suit had a lot of padding which made me feel pregnant because I couldn't put my feet on.

And here I am as Clifford the Big Red Dog. I hope I didn't look so intimidating with the children...because I feel like this pose looks like I'm saying..."You want to start something, PUNK!?!?"

Scooba

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen! And it might ACTUALLY change my life. Its called the Scooba. A robot that mops your floors while you're out of the house! They are quite pricy....but I have already started saving up for mine...it may take me a year with the rate I save money...but its going to be so worth it! And the best part is...your cat can ride it!!! Now if I could just get Matt to get me a cat.

Here's a video if you want to see it in action! Scooba video

no title needed

This made me giggle.

easter

See....this is exactly why I'm afraid of the easter bunny.
