Dear Chris...

If it was a fairytale...

[via]

In a fairytale world Chris would get to live in his condo downtown forever*....

In a fairytale world Chris wouldn't have 2 weeks to find a new place to live....

In a fairytale world I wouldn't have to worry about if I'll still have a job after my company merges with another the end of this month....

In a fairytale world Chris and I would both get big raises just for being excellent employees...

In a fairytale world I wouldn't get the horrible anxious feeling in my tummy worrying about the next few months....

In a fairytale world my head would be clear to love Chris as much as he deserves without it being clouded with worries about money, houses, jobs, etc....

But, we don't live in a fairytale world, and I'm the queen of worrying about things that are beyond my control. We are taking it day by day, keeping this in mind, and hopefully (in the words of JayZ) the best of our today's are the worst of our tomorrows!

*(Chris is the property manager at a big condo building in downtown Indy, sadly the HOA has decided they want to replace his job with someone who will live off-property and do it as a full-time position instead of living on-site and being on-call whenever necessary. This doesn't work out with Chris' full-time job)



PS I will post about the Fantasy 500 party tomorrow when I actually have the pictures to post too!

Four words....

Waste. of. an. outfit.

(Will share more later, swamped at work right now!)

Act a fool

You guys are cracking me up... aside from wanting me to look totally cute you are also requesting I make a complete fool of myself!

Supposedly the following characters will be at the event:

• The cast of Entourage
• P.Diddy 
• Kimmy K & the film crew of Keeping up w/ the Kard's
• Mark Wahlberg
• Carlos Mencia
• Catt Sadler
• Mario Lopez

So far I've gotten requests to:

• Grope Mark Walhberg (courtesy of Claire)
• Take a picture of Kim Kardashian's booty (courtesy of Aly)
• Prove that Kim K is NOT a size 2! 
• Call Mario Lopez "Slater" everytime we cross paths (courtesy of Lexiloo)
• Take a TON of pictures (easy enough, I can handle that!) 

Any other requests.....

Fierce.

Well ladies, the consensus was *INSANELY TALL SHOES* and let me tell you, I did not stray.

I found a dress in the second store I went in, somewhere I don't shop at TOO often, but once I learned I wear a size 0 in their dresses.... well dang, I can promise you I'll be in there more (hello ego boost via your rather generous sizing)

Mi amigas, I present to you this hot little black number from White House | Black Market

I had originally gone to Bebe, and had high hopes... was terribly let down by their in store selection. Boo! Love this one though so it was probably good that I wandered in WH|BM! Plus, (in the words of 27 Dresses) You can TOTALLY wear this again!

After fighting off the sales ladies who were trying to accessorize me in some combination of black/white/silver (hello ladies... it's a party for the Indy 500... my goal is not to look like the freakin checkered flag!) it was on to the shoes (my favorite!)

The pièce de résistance (please read that again in a French accent if you didn't do so the first time).

 

What? You want to see more? Ok...

Still not enough?

Phew. I die. Gorgeous, and SO. DANG. FUN! Truth be told, I had been scoping the teal version online but of course, no Aldo store within a 2.5hr driving radius had them. Sad face. Teal is my favorite color! 

I'm going after work today to get a spray tan, and hopefully find some accessories (any suggestions in this department are welcomed!)

PS Thanks Mrs. Shaffer, looks like I did retain something from those 3 years of high school French!
