Miss Lily

Happy 1st Birthday little doggie! Jenn's dog just turned 1 and I'm proud to say that Ryan and I helped pick her out from her litter. We did good. Lily is so good about letting Jenn dress her up.

Tomorrow's lunch

Ryan just finished making my lunch for tomorrow. It is an arugula salad with fresh figs and prosciutto de parma. I'm so excited.
Doesn't it look beautiful?

You are the dancing queen

Last night was Matt Barney's birthday party. It was a "delightful" affair. Lots of people and delicious food.

We were in charge of bringing food. I picked two recipes and Ryan made the dishes. Homemade Hummus and garlic bread. "DIVINE."

And our favorite...Rosy Melons and Strawberries (fruit was soaked in French Rose Wine and Rose Water). So Mediterranean and so Refreshing.
I love my husband...he is great with food.

We were the first to arrive at the party. I thought it was going to be casual but everyone was kind of dressed up. I hardly had make up on...here is me and Ryan. Since we were so early Matt opened his present from us and we nailed it...he loved his "tchotchke" from Pier 1.

Roddy was running around most of the night making sure everything was perfect for Matt (like making sure the music volume was just right). It was very cute. Ryan took this picture of me and Roddy.


It is crazy how small the world is...a red headed guy who came to visit Matt looked so familiar...i couldn't remember how I knew him...then he came over and introduced himself...his name is Will Spendlove...he was my "intro to broadcasting" TA back at the BYU. And Will doesn't even live in Utah anymore...he was just in town visiting from SF, CA and he is an old friend of Roddy and Matt's years and years ago.

Right before Ryan and I left the party, we got to sing happy birthday to Matt.

And Roddy made the cake!


After the blowing out of birthday candles...Roddy put on "dancing queen" for Matt. Matt has an entire routine to the song. Very Dreamgirls-isqe. It was so much fun.

Enjoy the ABBA. I hate to admit it but I really still like ABBA.

Disclaimer

I just want everyone to know that reads my blog that Jenn's pictures with the plumb boys are NOT good pictures of Jenn. She wants me to remove them but I do not edit my postings after I have posted.

Jenn sent me this picture of her and Mikey and some people I don't know in front of Broken Record...she approves of this picture of her.

Hair color, poncho, 11 years, plumb bbq

Recap on weekend Sept 8-9.

On Friday, Ryan and I went over to Seiren salon for our haircuts. I actually got some color put in. It has been years and years since I have colored my hair. Matt did a fabulous job. I love the color.


















After our haircuts we joined Matt and Roddy for dinner at Settebello.












Damn my hair looks good in this picture.














On Saturday, Ryan and I went to dinner with our favorite couple - Rose and Bob. Happy (11 years together) Wedding Anniversary! We love you guys!
We went to celebrate at Takashi for sushi. Our favorite roll is the Black Magic Woman. I highly recommend it.














After dinner, we came home and downloaded tons of music for Bob and I had Rose model my poncho I just finished knitting. This was a 2 year project. I still need to block the poncho but you get the idea.




















After Rose and Bob went home to "Southern Idaho" aka Clearfield, Ryan and I stopped by Bobby's BBQ party around 11pm. I felt like I was an old fart surrounded by 20 somethings...oh wait...I was the older one with all these drunk young people. And of course Mikey had to have all the attention!














Jen of course was there. I had to take this pictures of Jen with the Plumb boys.
Mikey...














and....Bobby.














Overall, Ryan and I had fun...and it was cool to be invited to our future neighbors' party. Here is a pic of Ryan at the party...

the VMAs

What a train wreck...Britney's VMAs opening performance last night. I'm still laughing about it. Her career has to be over, right?

I'm hooked on Perez Hilton's blog. Here is a fun picture of Ms. Spears ...posted on Perez's blog. Her bad hair weave extensions killed me:) If you have time please read Perez's letter to Britney. He is such a bitch ...I love Perez.

I want to scream!

I'm so annoyed right now. Yesterday Apple release the NEW classic ipods. And guess what they dropped the price of the 80GB and they released the 160 GB. 160GB!!!! So I could have gotten the 160GB instead of the 80GB if I just would have waited two weeks.

I currently have almost 12000 songs on my ipod. I'm about 70GB full. I NEED to get the 160GB. I will be saving my pennies until I get one.
