Getting A Makeover

I have done the Instyle makeover thingy before, but I saw that they had added "The Kate" I just had to try it again. I wanted to see what I would like with this controversial hair-do.

It made me laugh, when D liked "The Kate" on me.

And since I plan on hopefully getting my hair cut next week, I figured I would try on a few other styles. And NO, I am not going this short. :)

Cute Video

I heart Paula Deen so.

This is a video she posted on her facebook. It's her hubby Michael & his "combover." He is too cute!

Our 4th of July

This is how the 'kids' look when we leave them. My sweet babies.


Last year, I was painting the kitchen, so we didn't do anything special to celebrate our nations birthday. At the last minute, we drove down to see the fireworks at American Village. But unlike the years before, they had the neighborhoods blocked off, so we couldn't park there. We had to drive a good distance & park on the side of the road. We said then, that we would spend the 4th at American Village the next year. And that is what we did!



Pina Colada shaved ice.








This ring is from 1976, the year D & I were born. We are both Bicentennial babies. I've always thought that was cool. I wore my ring to celebrate!


We found the most perfect place to watch the fireworks. We sat right under them. It was incredible. It made the day for sure.

D & Etiquette....Huh???

I forgot to tell a few little diddy's about D in a fancy dining atmosphere.

First of all they bring him some ice tea, but it is not sweetened. So they bring out a little pitcher of simple syrup, with a tea spoon. D by-passes the spoon for a butter knife! He was stirring his sweet tea with a butter knife! And these weren't normal butter knives they were rather large.

They bring us a basket of bread & butter with little plates. D fixes his bread & then just lays it on the nice table cloth. Why use the plate?

After they pick up his appetizer plate, D's side of the table was completely covered in crumbs. I'm not exaggerating either. I looked like a little kid had been over there.

Then the piece de resistance, is when he leans back & burps a long loud burp!!!!!!

Needless to say I spent a good amount of time, fussing at him, with clenched teeth. Hahahaha!!!!

Date Night With D

Friday afternoon, D & I went to see Transformers. Yes....I sat through 2 1/2 hrs of things being blown up! I need to see a good drama ASAP to reprogram my brain. I only went for D. Believe me it is not my idea of a good movie. The things you do for love.

After the movie we went to Brock's a fancy smancy place to eat. Thankfully it was casual, even if the food wasn't. D had gotten an all inclusive gift certificate from work, since he has been running his department for about 6 months. They wanted to reward him & me, since I have been doing without my hubs.


This is the Amuse-Bouche. It's a bite size treat from the chef. They are considered a mouth amuser.
This is the appetizer D chose...Flat bread chicken.
And I got a corn bisque. It had huge hunks of crab meat. It was delish!
D's main course, was seared duck breast. And it also came with foie gras. Which was nasty! Not quite sure why it is considered a delicacy.
Here is my $38 beef tenderloin. They told me it came with green beans...Yeah...5 of them to be exact! But that steak was delightful!
D got chocolate souffle for dessert.
While I got strawberry trifle.

Our total bill was $105, but for us it was all free! And it probably be the most expensive meal we will ever eat. Unless we get it free again. :)

Thursday Night Fun

I met up with Anita, at Mizu Japanese Steakhouse. This time I didn't get sushi, but tried the fried noodles.
I wasn't too impressed with them. I mainly picked the shrimp out.

After supper we went shopping. Where we found these shoes. I carried them around the entire time we were in T.J. Maxx, but didn't buy them. They haunted me, so I went back on Friday & bought them (do not pay attention to my feet, just look at the shoes)!

After shopping, we went to DQ for Blizzards. It was such a pleasant Summer evening, so we sat outside & talked the night away...Literally! We shut the place down.

Happy 4th Of July!!!

Only our individual faith in freedom can keep us free.

Happy 5th Blogiversary To Me!!!

Well....My plans to celebrate my 5th blogiversary didn't pan out. I'll be honest, I have been in a blah blog mood lately. I still enjoy blogging, but I just don't have much of a zeal for alot things lately.
So I need your help....In honor of my blogiversary give me some ideas of stuff you would enjoy seeing on Pink Lucy.

Maybe photo assignments, Question of the Week, my thoughts on stuff in Pop Culture, or you want to see some vlogs (video blogs)....

Help! I need some inspiration & motivation!

And thank you to everyone that stops by Pink Lucy. I appreciate you all. And thanks for your comments. They give blogging an added piece of goodness.

Leave me comments telling me how long you have been reading Pink Lucy & how you found the blog! I so enjoy knowing that kinda info. :)

Hugs to ya!

TV Stuff

With the newer flat screen TV's, you have to also buy TV stands, unless you mount them to the wall. D would love to have a new HD TV, but I am perfectly happy with what we have. It works & there are way more important things to use our money for. So there will be no new TV's coming into our home for a long while. That is unless someone gifted us with one, but I don't see that happening either.

Top 10 Lists

You can find a 10 list for basically everything these days.
Top 10 best places to eat
Top 10 best cities to live in
Top 10 worst movies of all time
Top 10 diet pills
Top 10 worst Christmas presents

Well, you get the idea....I love making lists so I really enjoy top 10 lists. Like the top 10 best cities list, I always wonder if a city in my state will make the list. But sadly they are normally on the worst lists. Like the top 10 fatest states! I guess that's when we need to check out the top 10 best diet pills.

Vegas Vaca

In our need for a vacation, we are pretty much up for anything in the way of an adventure away from home. I have never been to Las Vegas, Well....Except that one time we sat in a plane for about an hour for a lay over. But we have always talk about going there, even if it's for a weekend. You can stay in some sweet Vegas hotels for a nice price. It's just finding some cheap airfare to get us there!

Special Insurance

I know several people who are on disability & because they are they receive disability insurance, as well as some of their family members. I know what it is like to not have any kind of insurance at all, so for those disability to be able to have good benefits is a great thing. Being on disability can be stressful, so knowing that you can go to the doctor & it be covered, takes a burden off of their shoulders.

Acne Treatments

When I worked in the cosmetic industry, I not only had to sell the make-up, but also skincare. You can't very well, put make-up over bad skin. And the skincare is where companies make their money. I would always feel bad though, when I would have people come to the counter that really needed a powerful acne treatments, but I had to sell them what we had to offer. I will be honest, I did send a few of them to a different place, since I knew what I was selling wouldn't touch there needs.

Milestone Birthdays

I was thinking about how Mom & her sisters, always seem to "get each other" for their big milestone birthdays. The year Mom turned 50, I think was hilarious. Diane came & did all kinds of stuff to Mom's house. Including draping the end of the house with black garbage bags (I think) & then posters & pictures of Mom. She also left "old people" stuff for her, like roller, adult diapers, prunes, a walker, ect.... It was all so funny.

Digital Camcorder

I love my camera sooooo much! But I think I would also love to have a digital camcorder. I have been wanting one for awhile. I often find myself looking at digital camcorders at the store. My camera does video, but I want a separate camcorder. My old camcorder is ancient. It is the kind that uses the smaller tapes. It was so cool when I bought it 9-10 yrs ago. I got it the day before I left for my cros country trip to California. It was my trusty sidekick, like my camera is now. Mom's is a gigantic monster of a camcorder. It looks like something they would use to film the news! It's so funny.

Announcements

I haven't had a need for one, but there are some absolutely adorable baby announcements out there. Poeple don't tend to send them out like they used too. I guess with internet being such a part of everyday life, most just adds photos to their blog or facebook, to make the announcement. I would probably do the same, but I think I would also like to send out a special announcement to a select few, that way they have their own pictures of my little blessing. I have always enoyed getting them, so I think others would also.

Sickness

I have seen alot of commercials talking about mesothelioma. I really wasn't sure what exactly it was & then one day decided to look it up. It's a form of cancer. And the way people end up with it, is just so sad. Imagine just doing your job & never knowing that you are being exposed to something that could & may eventually kill you. That is what has happened to more people that can be counted.

Cleaned Out

I know I have talked about this before, but has anyone experienced colon cleanses? I have a friend that owns her own shop. I have never gone to have it done. I don't know....I saw one done on TV once. I know that you feel tons better, since tons of crap is cleaned out of you. Maybe I would go somewhere that know one knew me. I don't think I could let my friend do it. Haha! Too much TMI for our friendship.

Life & Computers

Speaking of the internet from my last post....I have a friend, that is into software development. I would have never known that if not for Facebook. He promotes stuff & asks for input on his ideas. It's all kinda cool. Life sure has changed with the computer. Who know 20 years ago, that most of us couldn't live without them! 10 years ago, I didn't even have a computer. We had a Web TV, I wonder who remembers those? It was basically good for e-mail, but not for searching the web.

Interent Love

The joys of the internet. It is wonderful for paying bills & such. Because of the stupid tree, we had to get a new car. So that night after we got home, D went immediately & changed our insurance online. How cool is that? No having to go to the insurance guy to have them check out the car. I remember doing that when I bought Bubbles. But seeing as how that was 10 yrs ago, the internet was not nearly what it is today. Oh, for the love of the internet.

Need A Place To Sleep

Buying a new bed can be a big deal. When I moved to California, I didn't have a bed, so I slept on top of my sleeping bag. Then I investing in an air mattress. That's what D & I slept on when we got married. Haha! Then his parents bought us a queen size bed. After we moved back to Alabama, we were really wanting a bigger bed. So we bought a nice pillow top. We had loved this bed! If we were to get another bed, I think we would buy a sleep number bed. I have only heard great things about these special beds. I know that D's parents bought themselves one & seem to really enjoy it.
