8.31.09 - Work, BBQ

Back to the grindstone.. boo.

However, if I make it through I will be rewarded with a gathering of great friends and yummy food for dinner this evening -YAY!

8.30.09 - June Cleaver's got nuthin' on me!

This was actually how I looked most of the weekend... I was cooking for my Aunt Keri's Kitchen delivery, plus whipping up a bunch of stuff for The Hub to heat up while I am out of town visiting my little nephew (and Sissy and BIL, of course.. and my puffy Westie-nephew too!) next weekend..

I love my "Vodka Valium Latte" apron!!

8.29.09 - Tea

Tea and celebration in honor of one of my oldest and dearest friends, before the impending arrival of their second baby girl!

8.27.09 -Work

Darn - my shirt has a cute little tuxedo pleated detail on the front that doesn't show up here..
Shoot.

8.26.09 - Work, Cocktails

Hooray for the days that are nice and casual around the office, and for days when I get to have my friend for Cocktails on the patio after work!!

8.25.09 -Work, Lunch

I get to break up my work day by having lunch with two lovely ladies (the sweetest little girl in my whole wide world, almost 4 week old Harper, and her beautiful mommy)!! YAY!

8.24.09 -Work

I got a funny look about this outfit today, I think... then again, it was from someone whose opinion on fashion I am fairly certain I don't care a bit about. I really like this little outfit.

8.22.09 - Birthday BBQ in Ball Park neighborhood

8.19.09 -Work, Cocktails

Sweet blessed happy hour.. come on!!

8.18.09 -Work

Busy day at the office today.. meanwhile at home the counters SHOULD be installed today (Fingers crossed for perfect fit) meaning that we can get the kitchen crap out of the guest room, and get the plumbing hooked back up - meaning the washer will be in working order again, since it is on the same shutoff valve as the dishwasher, and I can do laundry and have some of my dependable "workhorses" of my wardrobe back in circulation!!

8.17.09 -Work

Ahh - Monday... can't trust that day...
Notice that the entire contents of my lower kitchen cabinets is currently residing in the guest bedroom, as we deal with the demo of our old counters, and the installation of new ones tomorrow.. fun fun fun.

8.14.09 -Work, Professional Event

Great, I look like someone tried to replace a girl in a Robert Palmer video with a librarian... (and most of my regulars are probably too young to even get that reference, so I am an old one at that.)
Oh well - brunch event today, and then hopefully home to start my weekend.

8.13.09 - Work

Woops - only took one pic today and it is fuzzy.. oh well, kind of a boring getup anyway..

8.12.09 - Work

8.11.09 - Work, Meeting

I am probably biting my lip in this pic because I secretly dread the annual all-building HOA meeting I have tonight after work.. I love the IDEA of being on my building's HOA board, love being informed and involved in decisions.. but being involved frequently means being blamed for anything rummy that happens.
Do I look approachable but not gullible today? Hope so...

8.10.09 - Work

8.7.09 Work

8.6.09 - Work, Cocktails

I am not sure why I am dressed like I raided my mother's closet today.. these capris are too baggy for work at this point, but I wore 'em anyway.. kind of dumpy.

I will get over it, tho, since I have HH at the Treehouse after work tonight with one of my favorite gals who I did not spend NEARLY enough time with over the summer.. and she doesn't care if my pants are droopy as long as they are accessorized with martinis for each of us! ;)

8.5.09 - Work, Meeting

Big meeting at work today.. went conservative, natch..

8.4.09 - Work

8.3.09 - Work

8.2.09 - Sad

Typical funeral fare as seen from the master bedroom mirror... MIL's head in doorway sitting at The Hub's desk..
At least that weekend is over..
