Why H&M? Why?

Dear H&M,
Why on earth do you not allow online shopping. You could make a fortune.
In the mean time, please stop purchasing TV advertising in the Denver/Boulder area where there is not an actual H&M store. Since there is no online shopping you are just making people angry at you for teasing us with your sweaters and jackets.

Why?

Hats off to You

I have never been big on hats. I have always liked my hair too much to let a hat ruin it, but this year I bought two new hats and I am truly obsessed with one of them. I think it all started with this commercial, which I love and makes me seriously applaud the marketing team at Target because I think it worked.




From this commercial I got a green fedora/bowler cap with a black trim and satin flower. I did not take it off the night I bought it (Christine can vouch for that). Today it snowed and I wore it for the first time! LOVE! I think hats have the power to give you a whole different attitude. So now I am on the search for more. And because I watched Confessions of a Shopaholic last night and she has some great hats in there.

Here is the one I have.....


Here are the ones I want.....


They just look awesomely cool in these hats. Jealous.

Puppy Love

I promise this will be the last post about my sister's pups for a while, but they are just SOOOOO cute and I miss them SOOOO much so I just can't help it right now.

Background: Gracie and Khaki were given halloween dog treats from my parents and Allison took pics with them right before they got to eat them.


Khaki: Eyes only on the treat.... practically drooling and about to pounce.


Gracie Goose: Always waiting patiently, so sweet not even caring that the treat is at her feet.

Pups

I consider my sister's dogs to be my dogs as well. Because they are. I will likely feel this way about her kids one day as well, but for now it's just the pups. Right now I am missing them terribly. This is why:

Khaki and Gracie... best friends and best cuddle bugs.

NYC

I am very excited right now! I just found out that a huge Parkinson's walk that I will be going to for work is on my birthday this year... wasn't that excited at first, but then I remembered last year it was literally just a few hours of work in Central Park and then I pretty much got to play the rest of the weekend in NYC. So the plan right now is for Thomas and I to couple it with a NYC trip for my bday!!! AND Thomas has never been to NYC... even more fun! Oh it's only 6 months off, but I'm still excited!!

Musicals.... Amazing food...... Shopping! I can't wait!

Halloweeeeeeeen!

I love Halloween. LOVE IT. So I was pretty pumped about Saturday. I was planning on kind of not going all out this year because I had been on a work trip last week and didn't have much time to pull it together, BUT come Friday night when I got my costume in the mail I knew that was not possible.

So Saturday started off at the craft store... two of them... then Target. After all of that I had everything I needed and I arrived home to the best surprise! Thomas borrowed cornhole from a guy at work and I was so pumped. For some reason all I had wanted to do on Halloween (Saturday) was to play cornhole, drink beer and be super excited about my costume.
Check on all of the above.



The squirrels ate our pumpkins every chance they got....


Here is what the costume started out as.


Here is what it ended up as! I was a firecracker and Thomas was Uncle Sam.
These are the only pics of the night from me since I forgot to charge my camera.




This is my "explosion" fireworks pose that I kept doing all night while leaping in the air...

Oh Happy Day

My wonderful Mother just sent me my annual Halloween cookies from the insanely good Apple Annie's Bakery in Wilmington.

Bad news... I got the package at 10:30 this morning at work and I CANNOT stop eating them.
They are my fave.
