We had such a busy MLK Weekend!  I always get super excited for 3 day weekends, one because I get an extra day with my cute hubby, and 2 because I get to put that cute hubby to work on projects around the house!  HOORAY! Double win!  So, we are getting so close to being done with our basement, it seriously has been in the works for 2 1/2 years.  It is time to be done!  We are done with all the bedrooms and family room and wash room and pantry, we are just waiting to finish the bathroom, then we will carpet and be finished! This is why I am becoming a slave driver to get the tile laid in the bathroom.  Porter has been working hard on the shower, which is very tedious work as the tiles are small and fickle.  But it came time for the floor.  So this weekend was: 'tile weekend'
Before
 After!!!
 To celebrate our victory with the tile (and I say 'our' because I sat down there on a Home Depot bucket and gave morale support, plus I buttered a few tiles for my man) we went out for a yummy breakfast at Ruth's Diner.  It was delish! I ordered French Toast and Tea.  But look at the size of biscuits they give you!
 We also played a super fun game with our friends Brenden and Tiffany called 'SmallWorld.'  I am hooked! We played two nights this week, plus I bought the version for the ipad.  However, I have yet to win a game of it.  I think the computer cheats when I play on the ipad.  The bot (nickname for my computer foe) always wins, and if I'm in lead, it magically gets an extra turn.  The bot and I have had words...
 I still LOVE this game!!!!  Brenden said 'it's like a combination of Risk, Dominion, and WOW.'




Did I mention I made Thai Coconut Curry Soup on Sunday Night? It was Amazing!  I found a great recipe on Pintrest.  Thai food is one of my favs, and so is Pintrest!  You should look up my boards and find my food board.  The recipe is on it.

We are moving to Australia!

We are moving to Australia.  Or at least that is what Porter thought for about 5 minutes.  Just kidding. April Fool's!!! I had an idea this afternoon about how to prank Porter.  I usually pull off pretty good stuff.  However, Porter expects it of me, so I have to get other people involved.  So I emailed his awesome boss, and asked if he would tell Porter that the company needed him to move to Australia in June.  He said he was in!  So I waited.... We went to dinner, and Porter said he had to make a call to his boss really quick.  I was only too happy to oblige.  While on the phone the conversation went perfectly.  They talked about some accounts in APAC and how well they were going.  The conversation shifted.  Then Porter stopped talking and this was the look on his face. I feel like I can see the thoughts about doing another international move in such a short time flitting across his face.  Keep in mind, we've just gotten settled here in London.   Now it&#

Impromptu Photos Shoots and Leg Hangs

 I shot a wedding the other day and rented a great lens for it.  Because I didn't want said awesome lens to go to waste I made Porter come out for an impromptu photo shoot with me last Sunday.  We went up to Westminster College campus and took these.  I think they turned out pretty well considering I set up the shot and took the pics via remote (a fabulous christmas present from the hubster ).  Porter really likes candid shots instead of posed ones.  So I try to set up moments where we can be in a nice position to have a candid moment, wink, wink.  It's not posing, I promise.  At least he believes it's not, so that is a win! The snow made it so bright.  After this picture I think we were both a little snow blind.  In other pole dancing news: I can finally do leg hangs!  I went to a class the other night with a fabulous teacher and ended up having a private session.  Classes where I am the only one scare me because all the attention is on you, which a wonderfu

Ugly Dance Party 1 Ugly Dance Party 2 Have you ever wondered what goes on backstage during a show??? What are those actors up to while you, the patron are out in the lobby grabbing snacks, visiting the lou, or striking up conversation about your feelings toward the show? Well, today is your lucky day! I bring you an up close and personal look into the GREEN ROOM dun, dun, DUN! Some activities these Hairspray actors participate in: Ugly dance competition guitar playing casual conversation eating taking pictures knitting And generally, just having a grand ol' time The Green Room is a blast, so is the dressing room, although I don't bring you footage of that.
