VIP baby

Wednesday, May 26, 2010

Nothing says VIP like a plain white envelope with your name written on it. Yep - that's how we roll in the Big O!

Guess I shouldn't complain. This plain white envelope got my sister and I in to see the midnight showing of Sex & the City 2 - a suitable sequel following the lives of Carrie et al. It got us reserved seats (though we still had to wait in line to get in??). It granted us access to what was quite possibly the lamest fashion show ever - seriously, bridal fair fashion shows look professional compared to this thing! Luckily, there were some pretty entertaining models in the show (both "models" and "show" used loosely here).

Thankfully, the movie was pretty good. Not great - but fairly entertaining. I won't go into great depth on the plot or what I thought about it, because I'm sure all of my zero readers plan to see the movie at some point in time. Let's just say that the previews highlighting Aiden's return ... well, they were a bit more than misleading to those of us who have been in love with him since his arrival on the show.

Ah well, I still plan to see it again - maybe from some reserved VIP seats at the new Cinedine in town. $15 ticket gets us the movie from a comfy couch, seatside cocktail service and dinner. Count me in!

FYI - the best part of the night was quite possibly the preview for Drew Barrymore and Justin Long's new movie, Going the Distance. Holy amazing - I can not wait to see that movie!

Sex. And. The. City ... numero dos

Wednesday, May 26, 2010

I've waited until the end of the day to post ... BECAUSE I WON TICKETS TO THE MIDNIGHT SHOWING OF SEX AND THE CITY 2!! So I'll snap some shots while I'm there and put up today's post tomorrow (pretty sure it's okay to miss deadline for AIDEN - I miss it for other, less hot, things ALL the time!)

Anywho - I'm so stoked I can't even explain it ... and I look forward to writing all about it tomorrow!

The Magic of Mr. Gnome

Sunday, May 23

Is there anything better than a lawn gnome with his pants half down? I'm pretty sure there isn't - especially when the bride at a wedding you're attending can't stand him!

That said ... today's theme is around a little guy I've nicknamed "Mr. Gnome." You see, another friend gave Mr. Gnome to T & L as a housewarming gift a couple of years ago. Then, randomly, he showed up in our front yard this past week.

Thankfully, things like this don't really bother me. Instead, I decided to turn it into a game. Because L is quite possibly the only person annoyed by Mr. Gnome - and because it was the week of her wedding - I decided to incorporate the little guy into all of the wedding festivities. First, he made his way into their wedding gift - which we gave to them at the rehearsal dinner (since it was hosted at our house & we didn't really want to bring a grill downtown for the wedding).

Then yesterday Mr. Gnome showed up to help us set up the honeymoon suite for T & L. He had some great ideas, too, like setting up LED candles to form a path into the room and sprinkling rose petals throughout the suite to help set the mood (he's a romantic, that Mr. Gnome).

He then went to O'Connors for drinks with us after the ceremony and wrapped up his night with a spin around the dance floor at the reception (literally, it was a spin - he's apparently an amazing break dancer)

Unfortunately (or is it luckily??), Mr. Gnome still came home with us. But it's only a matter of time before he finds a new home with one of our friends. The only question now, is which one!?
