Fail.

I am going to go ahead and chalk the past 16 hours up in the Fail category for the following reasons:

1. I locked my keys in my car while at the grocery store last night.

2. I called my husband to see if he could come save me. He misunderstood when I said I was at the Kroger at the corner of “Morrison and Hamilton” and instead drove to the Kroger at the corner of “Morse and Hamilton.” One hour later, he was back at the Kroger that he drove past to get to the wrong Kroger, and unlocked my door. He blames it on my lack of enunciation and twang (you know, the one that he insists I have, that I do not). I say, he didn’t listen to what I said!

3. I got nothing accomplished last night that I wanted to, because my one hour grocery trip turned into a 2.5 hour debacle.

4. I was 20 minutes late to work today because people think rain = scary/icy road conditions.

EPIC. FAIL.

I am feeling a lot like the one on the bottom!

Thank goodness today is my Friday and I get to spend the next few days with my family at a cabin in Kentucky!! I have good food, great company, smores and bourbon slushes in my future.

Bring.It.On.

Marriage and Cherry Coke

Happy Friday!

 

Today is a great day for three reasons.

The first: My in-laws leave for their anniversary trip to Cabo San Lucas tomorrow morning. I hope they have a great week on the beach!!

 

The second: Two great friends are getting married this evening! They are one of those couples that are perfect for each other. You know, the kind that you have no doubt one day your grandchildren will play together. I can’t wait to help them celebrate!

The third: I found out the cafeteria at work now has Cherry Coke on tap. If you know me, you know my love for Cherry Coke. I am not a big pop (soda/whatever you call it) drinker, but I crave Cherry Coke. It cures headaches, hangovers and upset stomachs. I even know what restaurants in Cbus have it. If I am having McDonalds, I will drive out of my way to go to the one that has Cherry Coke. I refuse to feel guilty or apologize for that! Ha!

Now that it’s only an elevator ride away, I foresee my once-a-week-pop becoming a regular affair! Oh, and I may have a shirt that has the cherry coke logo on it. Yep, true story.

 

Have a great weekend friends!

Lots of Excitement

Happy Hump Day friends! So far today, I have spilled half my coffee on my desk, dropped a bowl of oatmeal (uncooked) on my office floor and accidentally put my water in the freezer instead of the fridge (now it is frozen solid). FAIL.  At least it is already Wednesday. I love long weekends and short weeks!

 

Labor day weekend was full of excitement for us. Saturday was spent hanging with friends and watching the first Ohio State game of the season. Go Bucks!

Sunday we went surprised Rik’s parents with a mini 30^th Anniversary party.  His sister gets the credit for organizing the soiree. We met at her place and then drove to his parents together. We sent our pups in the house first with anniversary balloons around their necks.  We took them for dinner and drinks at the Cheesecake Factory.  It was so much fun surprising them and celebrating 30 years! The evening ended with his mom putting on her wedding dress. I can only pray that I will still fit into my dress after 30 years! She looked great!

 

Happy 30^th Anniversary to the best in-laws a girl could ask for. I mean, seriously, the best!

 

Monday, we got the exciting news that great friends of ours welcomed a beautiful baby girl, Ella Grace. Jen is a close friend of mine, stemming back to my college/sorority years. She has been such a great support person for me since January. They have two angel babies and finally have one that they get to take home. I could not be happier for them!! I cannot wait to get my hands on this little one.

 

Meet Ella Grace!
