Weekend Highlights: Halloween Edition

Picture 1We are lucky enough to have an amazing Halloween party to attend every year thanks to Augi’s work, Agencynet. They always throw the best parties in general, but really take it to another level when Halloween rolls by. Augi and I tried our best to hide our costumes this year, but a few people may have figured it out. We decided several months ago to go as The Comedian and the Silk Spectre I from The Watchmen. I immediately knew that I would have to contact my friends at Terribly Girly Photography in order for the look to be perfected! I was able to book Jenn D., who is amazing (no joke), for both my hair and makeup and she rocked it! I can’t tell you how many people asked me if it was a hairpiece or a wig. They could not believe it was my real hair. I think we did a great job and so far it’s been my favorite Halloween costume ever. I actually wish I could wear my hair like that on the daily! I think I was born in the wrong era. 😉

I don’t want to leave Augi behind – he did a great job on his costume as well. Not pictured above is his cigar and eye mask, which really complete the outfit. My only complaint was that terrible mustache he had to rock for the week leading up to Halloween – I could barely look at him! But enough gushing, I’ll let some of the photos from the party speak for themselves!

Lovable Friday

1. Muse: The Resistance
1. Muse: The Resistance

Besides the Smashing Pumpkins, I can’t really say I love a band more than Muse. Not very surprising since they have a lot of similar characteristics musically. What can I say? I’m predictable. Either way, this band blows my mind on a regular basis so I had been impatiently waiting for their new album for what seems like ages. Finally, there was a leak this week and I didn’t think twice before hitting the download button. I know people are going to hate because that’s what people do, but my GOD is this album good. I can only describe it as an eargasm – I would make love to every track, no joke. What other band can close their album with a 3-part symphony? Absolutely no one, but Muse. My favorite of the moment? Undisclosed Desires. It could be described as Smashing Pumpkins & Depeche Mode’s song baby and it is all sorts of awesome. Have I mentioned that I am going to see them open up for U2 next month in Tampa? Because I am so excited I could burst. I’ve never seen them live and although we have nosebleed seats (seriously, who can afford decent U2 tickets???), I am going to be happier than a pig in shit. No joke. Plus, there are rumors that they will be playing a 12 song set, much longer than typical openers (because they are awesome, hello)! So if you are going, I’ll be the certifiably insane fangirl singing and dancing like a fool. Feel free to come over and flail with me.

Weekend Highlights!

Saturday was the little man’s 3rd birthday party at Cool-De-Sac! I had mentioned this locale previously, but wow! I have to sing its praises! All the kids had such a fabulous time – the center had a little of something for everyone. Granted, it is probably only for the toddler to 5 year old demographic, but that is probably one of the toughest to entertain! There were stations set up throughout to meet everyone’s interests such as a lego section, arts & crafts, dress up section (complete with on-site manicurists!), jungle gym and tumble/floor area for the little tykes. My favorite? The little kid dance party room! It consisted of a dark room, light-up dance floor (think Madonna’s Ray of Light video) and loud electronic music. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t mind having my birthday party in that room! Oh, and did I mention that they serve beer and have great food? Yep, it’s fun for us big kids too! The little guy had a ball and the hubs got some practice being the party’s main photographer.

Sunday we spent the afternoon at a Nicaraguan festival to support Augi’s family who was hosting the event. It was ridiculously hot (I’m not sweating in the picture, I’m glistening!), but we had a good time with the fam, the food was yummy and dancing was entertaining. We spent the rest of the day gearing up for the intense week ahead of us! Can’t Sundays last just a little longer?

Have a great week, everyone!

Weekend Highlights

I hope you all had an amazing Fourth of July weekend complete with food, booze, friends and family. I know we did! Having to start a new (full) week is really going to be difficult!

Friday night we held our much anticipated RockBand party, which was a hit. Despite a now broken cymbal pad on our drum kit and a few shattered beer bottles, I’d like to say it was a success! Everyone wore their best rockstar eyeliner and I spent 20 minutes teasing my hair (only for it to wimp out 10 minutes later). We have a ridiculous amount of liquor/beer left over so I do believe another party is in order. Maybe a pre-Comic-Con slumber party? 😉

Lovable Friday!

lovablefriday1Before jumping into my Friday Five, I want to wish all of you a safe & fun Fourth of July weekend! And while you are grilling those scrumptious burgers and laying by the pool, please think of me and have a frozen drink or two in my honor!

Tonight we are hosting a RockBand party at our pad. We are encouraging guests to dress in their best rock duds and bring their shredding skills as they live out their rockstar fantasies as only modern technology can provide. Although I am not going all out like I did for my 27th Rockstar Birthday Extravaganza, it should be fun to dress up, take some crazy ringlight photos and jam with our best friends. I will be sure to post all the pictures come Monday morning, promise. 😉
