A Tribute to Austin

And here you thought I meant the great city in which I live...nope...something even better. Meet Austin! He is now maybe 6 weeks or so I think. Those of you close to me know this is the 3rd son of my dearest friend Sheridan from my hometown of Tulsa. There were complications with both mommy & Austin, but praise be to God that Sheridan is completely healed and that baby Austin is truly on the road to recovery and is making great strides! Please keep Austin in your prayers as he continues to heal and deals with his casts. Sweet Austin...I can't wait to meet you...only 13 days until that happens...and if Austin's big brothers are reading this with their Mommy...I can't wait to see you guys too! Get ready to have some fun and to get some HUGE kisses! Love you all so very much!

Kansas Jayhawks are Champions!

I've been meaning to post about the Jayhawks all week long...here's to you!! For those of you who did not watch the game...you sure missed out. I've put a couple of pictures below...Chalmers making the 3 pointer to tie it up and bring them to overtime was incredible!

ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!!!!!!!!!!

March Madness

So, for those of you who don't know I'm a big Kansas Jayhawk fan! Just wanted to give a little Rock Chalk Jayhawk shout!

I was really doing this post to remind everyone that there is only 6 more days of my march madness sale at my boutique! Just go to www.therefinedcubbyhole.com and during the checkout portion get 15% off by using marchmadness as the promotional code. And, for those of you local to me whom I know & see, I will credit out your shipping one I see the order come through, too!

I hope everyone had a very blessed Easter!

Delivery...

Okay...I can't seem to think of anything fabulous or meaningful to blog about, so I'll keep in line with my last few posts of worthless information. For those of you who don't know, I live in the freaking boonies! Sure, sure there are some benefits, like seeing the stars at night, feeding deer corn, seeing the bunny rabbits hopping around, etc. But....one huge downfall has been the fact that there hasn't been 1 pizza place that will deliver out there! That is...until recently. Let me take a minute to give a shout out to the Leander Domino's Pizza....oh the joy you have brought to my life! You've given me hope once again that there is always light at the end of the tunnel! Big thanks Leander Dominos...big thanks! May your oven always remain hot, your cheese plentiful & your delivery ever speedy!

Mr. & Mrs. Michael Buble...

Okay...so I dream of being Mrs. Buble...really...what's so wrong with that?! My fabulous friend, Julie, and I enjoyed our date with Michael Buble last night. He is so dreamy and who knew he was so funny?! I must say that I believe that is the best ever concert I've ever been to. I mean, sure he can sing...we already knew that...but what an incredible performer & entertainer! Michael Buble...if you are out there and reading this as we speak (cause I'm sure you've got nothing better to do) just know...you've got an open invitation to come visit me anytime! I'm still smiling from our date last night and man...I just couldn't get enough. Julie & I listened to you in the car all the way home and I listened to you all the way to work this morning! Big kisses, Michael Buble....Big kisses!

What do you think?

So what do you think about my new blog design? And the song? Oh...you must turn on your volume if you didn't hear it...it's my favorite song...Home, by Michael Buble. Speaking of which, Julie and I will be seeing him from a pretty close seat in a couple of weeks. I can't wait!

So sad...lunch will never be the same

I'm totally crushed today...I received terrible news. Okay...so it' s not that important in the scheme of life, but man, I just can't believe it! Roaring Fork in Austin is no longer serving their Chopped Salad that I adore so very much and have even blogged about my love for it. I mean, this was no ordinary salad...3 different kinds of lettuce, a huge amount of rotisserie chicken, bacon, avacado, 2 kinds of nuts (one of them candied) and the best salad dressing known to man! Well imagine my surprise when I called in my usual order only to be told that it no longer existed. So the guy on the phone clearly hears that I am crushed and "sells" me on the great replacement salad...the Chicken Club Salad...so I say ok with hesitation. Well let me tell you that was nothing but a complete dismal! Next time I want a completely boring & ordinary salad for $14.00, I'll go to Chili's and order 2 of them!!!! I might have even sent a comment to them via the web! Sorry for my rants...my love for food probably isn't a healthy thing anyway...maybe God is slowly taking away my favorites so I'll eat less & less!!! Hope you had better luck with lunch today!
