Football Sunday+Cardinals Game+Ryan Adams show+Throwing Baby Shower+Mason Jennings Show+Tom's Going Away Party/Brewery Tour + Wedding in Chicago=Death

And that was just the last six days of my life. I may literally crumble from exhaustion, but I have so much to say. I even had to miss a few events if you can believe it. Very Depressing. We can start with the baseball. We got to go to a Cards Game (compliments of Kerry Foods Tickets..thank you very much!) and the Cardinals got PUMMELED. But I was okay with it, because I thought the Brewers still had a chance and I did NOT want the Cubs to win. Sigh. I'll have to settle for watching them get a beat down in the first round vs Zona. Next, the concerts. Ryan Adams. Not so great. Song selection sucked and the set wasn't very long at all. But that was made up for at Mason Jennings, which was AMAZING. It was a really good show, and I recommend everyone have his music and go see him. He sort of rules live. And thanks to Jess for sneaking us in freebie style! Let's see, what more. My boss recently had a baby and we threw a baby shower, which I think went very nicely! (when did i have time to bake?!). Sadly, Tom is moving back to Chicago for a great job, so congrats to him! But sad for us. Of course that means Lakefront tour very necessary on Friday. That was lots of fun. Then wake up early the next day for a wedding in Chicago. I may die of exhaustion soon. Finally, for the things I missed. I did not get to see Mo, who was in from Minneapolis this weekend, but hopefully she will come back soon. And finally, the worst, I missed Miss Ashley Little's going away/Birthday Party. I am sad I missed it, but will survive, because in her own words:

"I hope to see you guys, but not in a passive-aggressive, "I'm subtly telling you that you need to come or I'll be sad sort of way." It's more in a "I like hanging out with you, but I understand if you can't make it" sort of way. My emotions are pretty complicated like that. Most of what I feel requires a compound-complex sentence. "

So HAPPY 24th Birthday to Miss Ashley. And everyone wish her luck and farewell. I'm sad she is gone, but now I have a reason to vaca in L.A! Although, I will miss our days at the country club...

Howdy Happy Birthday...

HOWDY HAPPY BIRTHDAY

THIS IS YOUR SPECIAL DAY

WE'RE GLAD YOU CAME TO LONESTAR

TO HELP YOU CELEBRATE

WE HOPE YOU HAVE A GOOD TIME

WE'RE REALLY GLAD YOU'RE HERE

SO HOWDY HAPPY BIRTHDAY

THIS IS YOUR SPECIAL YEAR

HEY!

Yes, thank you for asking, I did have to sing this song NUMEROUS times when I waitressed. Bug please say happy birthday to my brother in law Karl! Don't worry, those kids are detachable...I have been RIDICULOUSLY busy every night and I may fall over from exhaustion soon..more on that later....for now, birthday fun!

Fake Empire.....

Welp. I am officially probably losing my mind. We have so much to do in the next two weeks, that I've actually started mixing up days. I was getting ready for a concert tonight that we have tickets for on Tuesday. Hmmmm..... Anyways, let's see. On Thursday we had our company Summer Event and it was very nice. And free. On Friday we went to see The National which I thought was pretty good. They sounded pretty great live if anyone likes them, I recommend. Lots of things going on this week...and "there's no time..there's never any time....." Maybe I should get hooked on the Nodo's Jessie Spano style.....

Wait, is it St. Patrick's Day?!

So Miss Ashley Little came up this weekend to have some fun before she moves to L.A. L.A.!! So it was a sad weekend, but alot of fun as well! Every year at St. Pat's Day, Ashley and I try to take a pic, in which we have our legs wrapped up around each other (i'll spare you these) and every year, without fail, we fall and look stupid (come on, it's st.pats!) and that is what we were trying to re-enact here. As you can see, still not working! Also, today, Ali started her new big kid job, so say congrats to her! And Mom and Dad Horan made it home safely from Vegas (apparently Mom won a bit of money..let me know if you want her number for sharing!) And finally, I am getting sick and dying, and we have a BUNCH of stuff to do in the next two weeks. Anyone have any suggestions to kick this death/flu before it sinks in? I will try ANYTHING!

My Friends are Kenyans.....

Who would NOT look at these two stellar ladies and think, "I bet they would be good at marathons." Okay, Just Kidding, but everyone should wish Angie and Ali good luck because they are doing the Chicago half marathon today, which is QUITE impressive. Especially because it is opening week for football! So those are my plans..watch football and feel inadequate next to my Kenyans!

Celebrating Laborers

So for Labor Day, we of course had to celebrate Laborers. And we thought it appropriate to celebrate the people who worked long and hard on this thing (seriously, wtf is this?!)

And of course, the man who made this lovely metal disk. Just a great effort all around.

Okay, so these pictures were taken after a Labor Day BBQ, so we can be excused. But I mean, what is this stuff?! Just hanging out in Milwaukee. Across from the bar. Well we definitely celebrated the laborers and such (hence the pics) Anywhos, going back to work always sucks but so it is. Tina (featured in these photos) did a bunch of design work for Urban Playground this weekend (http://urbanplayground.info/) well, she did the print adds (like http://www.shepherd-express.com/1homebody.lasso on the right hand side) and such in the papers, so everyone should come have fun! Seacrest out.

2 Years: The Cotton is in the Mail

Okay, OKay. I have been neglectful. Everyone say Happy Belated Anniversary to my sister. It has been two whole years. Crazy Kids. Apparently, the traditional two year gift is cotton (good thing they live in the south...) They get to be in NY for their anniversary, which is no fair, but I am sure they are having lots of the fun! And also happy labor day, yeah for days off!
