Engagement “Basket”

by 6 Comments

20131024_125417

Oh … what’s that? A bag filled with 15 pieces of tissue paper?!

I went home early Wednesday since I was starting to get more sniffles than the day before and didn’t want to get anyone else in the office sick. Being sick sucksssssssss but then I received a picture text!

One of my dearest friends of 10 years got engaged moments ago! October 23rd!!

I knew it was coming but I didn’t think it’d be in October! Reasons being:

  • She just moved into her new house
  • Her niece’s birthday
  • Her birthday
  • Halloween (her favorite “holiday”)

Now let’s tack on engagement. How great of a birthday gift is that? Big gorgeous ring!

I took another sick day Thursday and no matter how bad I didn’t want to move I went out to make an engagement “basket”. I put everything in a bag since I felt it was easier. This was what I wanted to make Sissy when she got engaged but I was overseas and by the time I was back, I felt it was too late. Maybe when she gets pregnant I’ll make her a baby basket.

Now the contents.

PicMonkey Collage (1)

  • A card with my love
  • Bridal magazines (They even have one for Houston Weddings!)
  • The Knot Book of Wedding Lists
  • Post-its and tabs
  • Paper Pad (with her future last initial)
  • Skull pen (she loves skulls!) and an Orange Sharpie (she loves orange!)
  • Essie nail polish: turquoise & caicos (she wants that shade of color and brown for her wedding! perfect!) and not pictured: bachelorette bash (because that fits!)
  • Facial Masks
  • EOS chapstick
  • Santero Moscato Champagne

Congratulations Mallory & John! So ecstatic for you both! Cannot wait to see her walking down the aisle up to a teary eyed John. I kind of picture John teary-eyed. I call it. I hope the photographer captures that.

Time to work out till I drop. I don’t want too much to be jiggling on the dance floor. TMI? Sorry.

Hope you all have a great weekend! Tonight is Mallory’s birthday/housewarming party! I cannot wait to see EVERYONE!!

Fun Friday

I’ve only been out of my house for less than one hour and I’ve already bought two new mascaras and am sitting here at Cloud Café blogging and sipping on a Caramel Latte. No more blogging at cafes when next week comes. Need to cut those nasty calories out!

I failed at updating about my Oregon trip this week. Going back to work, even though it was only for 3 days, was tough. I had to play catch up and I just felt very lazy afterwards. I am going to sit and write them all out this weekend and have them scheduled for next week. They WILL go up!

Until then, here are some funnies.

Currently sitting at Cloud Café (where else) sipping on a Thai Milk Tea. Yum!

I’m back from my Oregon trip and decided to take today off from work. No one wants to work after a great vacation!

I already miss everything about it. My next few posts will be my days in Oregon. I’ll try to make them short and sweet. More for my memory sake. You can just look at the pretty pictures.

For today I’ll just give you a Man Crush Monday and send you on your merry way so I can read all the blogs I missed!
