(Last) Weekend Recap! And Um.. Other Stuff, too.. :)

Yeah yeah, I'm way behind on my photos. *head hung in shame* Hell, I'm way behind in my blogging this week. I miss you, peeps.Here's why I've been MIA. And yeah, it's a lot of text. Skip ahead to the pictures if you're bored. :)

Tuesday- dinner with a fabulous friend in town also known as my former boss from my previous jobbidy! In the past few weeks, I've hung quite a bit with my former co-workers turned friends (not that they weren't friends as coworkers. haha..). It makes me SO happy that we've been staying in touch, lest you remember my tearfest when I left there like "*sob sob* I'm worried I won't see them again..*" I'm so overdramatic sometimes. ( <-- I rarely admit that and mean it. LOL!).

Wednesday- Friend intervention about a boy. It was unplanned. It was necessary. It involved wine and a cheeseplate. ha! All is good in the land of friendship once again. Gotta get each others backs, ya know? :)

Thursday- Dinner with my best friend, Blaze! Hadn't seen each other in FOREVAH, so it was awesome! We talked about excitingness, so stay tuned for more on that sometime.

Friday- Oh, right.. That's today. Well, today was the Day of Caring! At 6:30 am, I met a thousand other peeps for the 19th Tulsa Day of Caring Kickoff! Do you participate in Day of Caring in your city? Didya know Tulsa has one of the largest in the NATION?! Yeah. We do. Awesome. Oh.. let me rewind.. I got to the Day of Caring Kickoff AFTER I cleaned the cat poop off Gracie's face b/c she thought that was a brilliant thing to stick her face in at 5:45 am in the dark backyard. Ugh. And after having to wake up my roomie and her best friend who had apparently crashed after having a little too much vino last night...but were parked BEHIND me. They don't work on Fridays, so I'm sure my 6am wakeup call making them move the car kinda sucked. *shrugs*

Friday lunch- a tidbit I haven't shared.. I went to lunch with a friend from my former University. We were chatting about plans b/c... I'm the new chair of the Young Alumni! Fun stuff! I might pick ya'll's brains for some ideas... if you don't mind. We need to build alumni engagement.. a lot.

And now... on to some PHOTOS!

Happy Birthday to Eric! Happy Birthday to Eric! I played with Picnik Photo Editing! Happy Birthday to Eric!


Friday's sushi dinner with some of his friends :)
Eric likes presents.
Pretending his gift is a shake weight. Yes, he really is. (and no, it wasn't a shake weight).
I got him some boots he was wanting. No idea what kind of face he's making. He obviously loves them.
Note: Never arch your back and conceal it with your arm accidentally. You will look like you have a baby belly. Just sayin. Example below. (This was at dinner at the new W0lfgang Puck's in Tulsa!)
Brunching it up at a local place with a fun patio :) I wore my hat. And my TU gear...b/c we went to watch 4 hours of the TU game only to have them lose in the last 5 seconds the TU game after brunch..
We also went to a couples shower for some friends. Well, obviously they were our friends b/c I guess we wouldn't go to a random person's wedding shower. Whatever. I played with Picnik photo editing again. :)
From the couples shower, we headed to another friend's OU watch party. Unlike TU, they won. People cheersed with beverages a lot. See below for example.
Lauren was also in town from the Chi! I didn't get to see her as much as I would have liked or take any good photos, but glad we got to hang for a little bit. :)

Oh, and I went a little darker with the hair! But, um.. a lot of people don't seem to notice. Or maybe they notice and they haven't said anything b/c they hate it. Bastards. Whatever, I like it. And for those of you reading who DID notice and said something to me this week, you rock. Love you. :)
So, there's a weekend recap and lots of other jazz you prolly didn't care about.. just in time for this weekend.. haha.. Maybe I'll be more timely next week. *shrugs*

What's on your agenda for the weekend? Now that you've read all the randomness of my life, I'll tell you one more thing.. I have a bachelorette party for a friend tomorrow night! YEEHAW! Should be fun. Would have been more fun if it wasn't TU's first home game but ya know. Whatever. Football comes and goes; friends are forever. *insert awwwww*

Have a great weekend, loves! I'm out. *throwing up peace sign and pursed lips*

I TOTALLY recognized the low lights, but I am just now commenting since it's the first time I have typed in over two weeks. (of course fbook from the blackberry, hah!) Anyways, you look darling and after traveling to Aussieland, I feel like your man could totally pull off a European look. Huge compliment :)

"Or maybe they notice and they haven't said anything b/c they hate it. Bastards."

The above statement is another reason why you're awesome.

Also, I would totally bang your hair. It's gorgeous.

You and Eric are just the cutest couple! I absolutely love what you're wearing in the picture where you arched your back-lol...long description.

Your hair looks fabulous. I'm beyond jealous. I've been going to the same guy for awhile, but I have no idea what the hell he did to my head last time. Instead of cute blonde highlights I have orange stripes, some horizontal stripes, and totally uneven color. Ack! I'm been trying to wear my hair curly or up to avoid the embarrasment of having it down.
