1. Congratulations to Adri & Jose!
I’d like to start off today’s Lovable Friday with a personal bit of love aimed directly at my amazing friends, Adri & Jose! Not only did they just close on their first home this week but they found out they will be expecting a little one!!! These two are going to make great parents and I am beyond excited for them both. Squee! 
Friday night I braved the Super Bowl traffic and headed up north to Broward to celebrate our good friend, Omar’s birthday. Although the weather was most definitely not cooperating, we managed to have a great time at the always awesome Tarpon Bend. We picked up some yummy burgers and calamari and then danced like fools to their house band (which I always love), Fuse. Definitely going to hire them in the future. Happy birthday, OG!
Wow what a night!
As promised, here is my “better late than never” post about last night’s LOST party and 2-hour season opener. The first half will focus on the party and then I’ll make sure to put any spoilers or information about the show under a cut so that those who have yet to see the show won’t want my head on a platter. 
The party was a complete success! Almost all of our LOSTie buddies were able to make it and I think it’s safe to say that we all had a great time being little fan girls and boys together. In case you were wondering, that’s my super-duper-I’m-so-excited face in the photo above. We were about to hit play on the DVR.
1: Both the hubs and I made Sawyer-iffic fish biscuits thanks to this great recipe. It was really difficult and quite the mission, but I think they turned out pretty decent. And they ended up tasting like animal crackers – nom nom!
2: I made my infamous pumpkin cupcakes (recipe here) with cream cheese frosting. In order to make them Dharma worthy, I added some fun custom flags (template here) with the Dharma logo on one side and the numbers on the other. They were a huge hit!
3: The complete table setup. Plenty of Dharma rations and a little recruit area complete with party favors (Dharma mints) and job titles on labels. Our guests were able to choose what job they would like in the Dharma Initiative. I really enjoyed watching people as they picked their occupations. It was really fun
4: Mini chocolates also were dressed in Dharma gear. The remainder are now at my office – they are dangerous to have laying around the house.
This weekend was all about birthdays! On Friday night, we celebrated my friend (& co-worker’s) birthday by getting together for happy hour at Gatsby’s. I got to spend time with people I hadn’t seen in a long time and missed a whole lot and also got to drink $2 Blue Moon’s. I was a happy camper! We then moved the party to the Kendall Ale House for a couple more beers and good times. I’m pretty sure the party kept moving along, but we got off the train after the Ale House (ah, being old).
On Saturday, the hubs and I made it out to West Palm Beach for our friend, Joshua’s, annual holiday party. We got to hang out with our buddies and his two adorable sons, who were the life of the party. Plus, we got the most amazing party favors: fake moustaches! It really doesn’t get any better than that. Must make a mental note to pick some of these up for our next shindig – they were the biggest hit! And the perfect end to my night was making it home in time to see Muse perform their last song, Starlight, on SNL. They were amazing, as usual, and only made me covet a Florida tour date even more!
The rest of our weekend was spent doing errands and showing our family the house we may be living in come next year. Exciting stuff, people!
This will be a short week for me (thankfully) & I hope some of you were able to score some vacation days as well to spend with your loved ones. It’s almost Christmas time, everyone! And that means we are closer to it all being over!!! What a relief that will be.
