As of Late

Hello, it's been awhile.  Here's what's been going on with my life lately.

The damn white dog has been loving getting up in the middle of the night like she's a puppy again.  She goes 8-10 hours without peeing all of the time, but lately she's been getting up every.single.night. This, in turn, causes Tony and I to argue on who is going to let her out.  I prefer to wait and see if she'll go back to sleep, while Tony gets up the second she does.  I love you dear, but you are a push-over.  And Margo, if you don't stop waking us up in the middle of the night, I'm going to kill you.  Clearly I'm ready for kids...

I left work early yesterday with a temperature.  Back at it today.  I'll be damned if I'm missing jeans Friday and my short afternoon.  It's my fav :)

We got a new bed.  It was my Valentine's Day gift.  Since the beast princess sleeps with us, the only logical thing to do would be to get a bigger bed, right?  It's a memory foam one.  I love it.  Tony isn't sold.  And it must make Margo want to wake up in the middle of the night. 

My car is fixed.  After a pretty penny, she no longer sounds like an airplane taking off.  She is a new woman.  Happy, Clean, and Pretty.

Tomorrow I'm heading to Omaha to see my lovely friend Christy.  Ever since I received this iterary on Monday, I can't stop smiling.  Omaha, here we come!!!

Omaha Itinerary


The below itinerary is pretty thrown together and I will continue to work on it as the week progresses. Please feel free to add any thoughts, opinions, etc.

02/25/12

• Arrive in Omaha without getting lost: ?????

• Hang-out, watch K-State game and catch-up 12:30 tip off
• Afternoon Drinking: ????

• Get ready for dinner: ????

• Party Rock: ????

Places to Go (places can be inserted throughout the above itinerary):

• The Homie Inn: Also referred to as The Homie. This little gem is located in a place that I can never seem to find. With champagne on tap you would think this is a classy place, however it is just a dark little bar where you can get pitchers of champagne.

• Crescent Moon: This bar has two areas. Above where there is sometimes karaoke and the basement. The basement is the place to be. Offering up what is called “das boot”, a very large boot that you drink out of. Do not drop the boot or they will charge you $50. If you have ever seen Beerfest, you will know exactly what “das boot” is if not just imagine a huge glass boot filled with German beer.

• Jimmy D’s: Located within walking distance of my apt is about the only cool thing going on in this bar. With large tvs and shuffle board it would be a good place to stumble in and out of either at the very beginning or very end of the night.

• Blue: A sushi bar that has a great reverse happy hour. With their bloody mary martini you will be dancing the night away for sure. I can’t guarantee that you will remember it but trust me its delicious.

Wine Barn

A couple of weekends ago we did something super fun and different.  Emily had bought a Groupon to the 'Wine Barn' out by Bashor for 10 people.  Seeing as though it was located far away and we would be 'tasting' wine for 2 hours, we decided that it would probably best to have some sort of transportation.  We booked a limo and we were ready to rock.

When I received the email confirmation from the limo company, I noticed there was a bold paragraph at the end stating the rules.  No standing out of the sunroof and any articles of clothing left behind are not their problem.  No flashing from the top of the limo... we get it. 

The Wine Barn was SO cute and quaint.  We were the only group there so we got a good run down of the wine... and multiple re-fills.

The provided lots of appetizers that paired with each type of wine.

I wish we could have seen the vineyard, but it was dark and cold.  I would love to visit when it's nicer out, they have live music and free tastings on the weekends.

We had extra time to drive around afterwards so we decided to make a stop at The Cashew for a quick drink.

Pouring wine in a moving vehicle is not the easiest thing.  It results in ivory coats looking tie-dyed.  You have been warned.

We ended the night back at our house for some games and night caps.

I wish we could do this every weekend!

Good thing...

...that being a better blogger was not on my NYE resolution list.  In fact, nothing was.  I don't like to set myself up for failure or hold myself accountable for anything.  It's an issue in and of itself.

But I will show you what we did on NYE.  I'm only 20 days over due.  Forget the fact I haven't blogged about Christmas yet.

We reserved a table at Johnny's and they had NYE swag that consisted of hats, necklaces, and horns.  We even had our own fancy sign...

Side note- I walked in and said, 'we have a table under Gina Penka.'  The lady said 'well, we have a Gina Calhoon down'  Oh yes, Gin has been married for like 8 months...

Sorry for that last one.  Where else can you put pictures of you and your husband making out if not on your blog? 

Hope everyone had a Happy New Year!  Bring on 2012.  I have a feeling it's going to be the best year yet!

Halloween at Arrowhead

We spent our Halloween out at Arrowhead to watch the Chiefs vs. Chargers.  It was one hell of a game! 

I'd like to mention the fact that Chief's fans scare me.  They are in. sane.  Especially on Halloween.  I have no idea what possessed what I felt was the majority of people to dress up super skanky when it was freezing out and they were attending a football game.  Fishnet hose? Check.  Tube top dresses?  Check.  High Heels?? Check. Check. Check. 
Craziness.
I should have taken pictures, but I was too shocked to work my camera.

Our seats were fab.  Tony got them from a guy he refers patients to.  They had to go trick-or-treating with their kids... we did not.

Andie informed me that these are called 'rowdy towels'.  She loved her some rowdy towel that night!

I'm sure the boys were annoyed b/c we were doing this...

We left with about 5 minutes left in the game to beat traffic.  The game ended up going to overtime and the Chiefs pulled out a win.  I wish we would have stayed until the end, but it would have taken us 2 hours to get out of the parking lot.  Which looked like this....

I rest my point.  Chief's fans are in. sane.

Crupper Wedding - Take 2

There are too many pictures to share, and while I wish I could share them all, I'm not that patient with Blogger at times.  It's true, my patience has always been an issue.  Ask my mom.  Once when I called her in college claiming that I wanted to change my major to education to be a teacher, she laughed at me.  Saying I have no patience and would never make it teaching annoying, dirty, annoying, and annoying grade schoolers.  Then I got a gig substitute teaching for extra money... my first day was a 6th grade classroom.  They threw their snacks at me.  No joke, that is an honest to God true story.  I've never stepped foot into another grade school classroom again.  My mom was right. 

Woah tangent!  Back to Emily and Dave.  My favorite pics.  In no particular order.  That wears on my patience too.

Night #2 the dance party got out of control

Pretty bride on the booze cruise

Priceless

Wedding night the dance party got REAL out of control

Funny story.  Day of the wedding, Emily had appointments to get her hair and make up done.  She ended up cancelling both so she could drink by the pool with everyone.  Best bride ever?  Absolutely.

Brothers/Groomsmen

Dave's brother played the mandolin and sang Over the Rainbow

They said their own vowes which was precious.  Hilarious and precious.  Absolutely perfect.

Second Fav.  They were so genuinely happy, it was absolutely contagious.



Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Crupper, you two are so perfect together and I am so happy that we got to be a part of the beginning of your new life together.

Love you both!
