Week in Review...

The past two weeks have been so full and busy.  I've had catch up dinners with old friends, reps in town for work, major crafting projects for everyone and other random things to do each night.  Roxy and I also made a "how-to" video last weekend on making potato stamps.  It was lots of fun and actually really easy!  Stay tuned for the tutorial.  I'll be posting it soon.  

This weekend we all went to the Italian Festival and had an awesome time!  It's definitely not what it used to be, but it's getting better.  Having it at St. Thomas University was a BIG improvement, but I miss the days of the Italian Festival being downtown.  It was still fun though.  If you get the opportunity to go, you should definitely do it.  I would love to get to go to one in another city.  I bet it would be really different!!!!  

Fist pumpin' our way into the festival.

Congrat's Alex & Christine!!!!

This weekend was full of wedding receptions, showers and Ad Results peeps!!!!  On Saturday, we took the long drive out to Sealy, TX to celebrate Alex & Christine's wedding.  They decided to get married in Austin when none of their Ad Results friends were around, so we just had to celebrate their union with a party!!!!

I really wanted to stop at Buc-ee's on the way to Sealy, but much to my disappointment, there wasn't one remotely close.  We decided to stop at a "country store" for gas, jerky and other essentials.  We got to the gas station around 5:00pm, and Natalie couldn't understand why the guy at the "country store" didn't have any kolaches left.  Seriously, Natalie?

Alex Almost broke Rule #2 [Friends don't push friend into the pool] and in the process, made Kim spill her drink all over herself.

"Toe my goodness!!!!" [Ad Results feet models]

As a wedding favor, Christine made all the girls key chains.    She is a fellow Etsian, so check her out at www.cxclay.etsy.com


Thanks so much for the invite and memories, Christine & Alex.  Fun was had by all.  Congratulations!!!!

Is this thing on?

Well...I finally did it.  I made a blog!  It's no secret that I'm not the most technologically advanced person that you know, so this is, in the words of Posh Spice herself..."MAJAH!!!!"  I hope to use this blog to update everyone with everything going on with my side business, Swish Productions, as well as keep everyone up to date with what is going on in my world.  I will eventually do giveaways and other fun Swish Productions related things on here, So please stay tuned!  There's definitely more to come.


So, what's going on with me?  For starters, a couple of months ago, I was diagnosed as border line diabetic.  That my friends, is NOT good.  My doctor informed me that in order to not develop diabetes, I need to change my entire lifestyle, making healthier choices and with food and integrating more exercise into my daily life.  I hope to use this blog as a way to update everyone on my progress and keep myself accountable.  The only way to succeed at losing weight and living a healthier lifestyle is having to be accountable!  That is my number one problem.  I will share my weight loss progress as well as any healthy recipes or cool workout classes that I find.  Should be interesting, right?


To close my first post, I want to say thanks to my good friends Amy Bond, Roxy Rodriguez and the other girls from Etsy Houston for talking me into starting a blog.  If it wasn't for Roxy, the extent of my internet knowledge would easily stop at making a profile on Facebook and if it wasn't for Amy, the design of this blog would be a total mess!!!! I couldn't have done it without y'all.  If I am lucky enough to have anyone looking at this blog already, I encourage you to please visit Amy's blog at www.thepinacoladas.blogspot.com and Roxy's blog at www.grrfeisty.com.  They are awesome!  They both also have Etsy shops so go check them out!  Lastly, I would like to dedicate this blog to my grandmother, Grace Muse.  We recently lost her to a severe head injury and I miss her more and more everyday.  I love you, Mawmaw and will always miss you.  I hope you're reading my blog in heaven!
