Preparing for my first movie premier

This past weekend my brother-in-law, Chris, had his first ever movie premier! Whoopie!! We all got invited and it was our first ever movie premier. Since it was filmed in Philly that's where they decided to premier it. So, me, David and the in-laws hit the road this past holiday weekend to see what "Crooked Necktie" was all about! Check it out!

Thursday it hit me - what exactly does one wear to a movie premier?? You know me, the fashionista... plus this wasn't a red carpet event. It's an indie film. casual... but still! what do I wear??!!! So I had KM over after lifting to help pick out something "premier appropriate". I was determined that there was something in my closet that I could wear without having to purchase something new. And if there was KM could find it.

So after lifting KM comes over and we headed up to my closets. (yes, I have the two in the master bedroom. They're small...) I open them up and show KM. She takes and look without even riffling through them and asks "is this all your clothes?..... Like all the clothes you own in your whole entire life??" I guess that means I need to go shopping....

In my own defense all my t-shirts and workout clothes are in drawers... but of course I'm not going to a premier in T-shirts and workout clothes.... but I wouldn't put it past me to try...

But the good news is KM did find something appropriate in my closet. Figures - it was something I bought about 2 years ago that I had never worn before. I didn't know what to wear it with. It still had the tags on it.

So - the premier was a success!!! I would post pictures - but they're all on our home computer so you're going to have to wait. I'll post again with pictures and tell you more about the premier itself.

What a twist

Today KM and I were at the gym working out. She was giving me the update on her boyfriend and his latest drama and how it's affecting her, et cetera.... Then I was giving her the scoop on how D's season has already started, how his work is going full force and how he's going to run himself ragged already if he's not careful, et cetera...

Then we both started laughing. Who woulda thunk! The girls in the weight room, puming iron, talking about all the drama in their boy's lives!

What a twist!!

It's the little things...

I just want my hubby to know that I know I've been a handful to live with lately. It's not him, mind you. I think I'm going through some sort of mid-life crisis. I know, I'm too young for a mid-life crisis... but I don't know what else to call it... so I'll call it that.

It's not the weather - but that sure as hell isn't helping!! I don't know what it is. Which isn't helping because I can't articulate to him what the hell is eating at me. But it's not him. It definitely isn't him.

He wants to help me but I don't know what to tell him to do to help. But I can tell him that whatever he is doing does help. It's the little things... like when I got in my car this morning and the clock was already changed!

I don't know how many years I've owned this damned Explorer, or how easy it is to change the clock - but I'll be damned that every time the time changes I have to pull out the manual and look up how to change the clock again...

Or when I was listening to the radio this morning and realized he had also changed the setting to show the name of the song and the artist! Anyone who knows me knows that I can't name the song or artist to save my life- unless of course it's from the 80's. In that case I can tell you what year it came out, what I was doing when I first heard it and what outfit I was wearing... oh, and who was dating who, and all kinds of other ridiculous, useless information...

So, I just want to tell him that these things don't go unnoticed and they DEFINITELY are appreciated... even if I forget to say so.

love you hon.

A couple of long weeks

Wow - I didn't realize how long it's been since I last posted! Time flies when you're on the road!!

Well, let's see, I spent almost a week in Canada, a week in Utah and this week I've been in the office trying to catch up. The next few months are going to be a whirlwind for me at work. Meetings, tradeshows, more meetings, more tradeshows... If I can get through May I'll be ok.

I did have a great time in Utah. I met up with our rep there, Brooke. If you're an avid reader of my blog, and have a great memory, you may remember her from a trip I made to Kanasas City a while back. I went to a kickboxing class with her (and blogged about it, of course!) Well, now she lives in Denver and is our rep for Colorado, Utah and New Mexico. I happened to catch up with her in Salt Lake City to work and then play for a bit on the slopes in Park City. We had a blast!! Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures on the slopes... didn't want to drop my phone in the snow!! But I did get a few at dinner one night in SLC!

Right now I'm trying to think positive thoughts that I'm NOT getting sick. I SWEAR I get sick all the time since I've moved to this damned state. I've been working out, eating well, taking my vitamins, I got my flu shot... what else can I do???!!!!
