Baptized!

Ms Morgan Elaine was baptized at First United Methodist Church last weekend. Ethan was a great pew sitter with some help of sticker books, Cheerios, and all the bulletins and paper all around him.

Morgan smiled her big infectious smile the entire morning and let the minister walk up and down the aisle with her. I think he was taking bids on her!

After the event, the Trobaugh's (2 generations) came over to 905 for a quick lunch before they eases back to Georgia and Pennsylvania.

A good time was had by all. Though Jim had a little meltdown after everyone left--the results of the Ryder Cup almost ended his life. He's better now...though still talking about it.

Poor Louie

What do you do when you're 9 months old? You terrorize the dog.


Louie is so patient and good with Morgan. He just keeps moving to another part of the couch hoping for peace and quiet.

Not happening...

We've all been there




I wanted to share my afternoon with you. I've spent the last 3 hours trying to configure my wireless printer to my computer. It stopped working....and it will continue not to work.

That's it....that's my day!

Music

I listen to the '60's' & 'Coffee House' on Sirius Satellite Radio. I also listen to QMix, out of Columbus Indiana; occasionally when I'm in my car. Ethan manages to find 'Party Rock' on any electronic device. And that's it. That's my musical repertoire. So when small town girl goes to NYC....they listen to lots more than the above. Here was one of my favorites I heard at the Tibi runway show. I'm thinking it's a little like the grass skirt you buy when you go to Hawaii. Looks great there, but when you get it home; it never leaves the closet. I'll be back to my Satellite, QMix, and LMFAO in a few days.

Fall Fashion

Now that I've been to a runway show (did I mention I went to a runway show?), I'm all about Fashion. Here's my new fall nail polish. It's called 'Berlin There Done That' from the new OPI German collection. When I showed it to Jim, he asked me when I was going to get a tattoo. But, when I went to Menards; the check out person told me she loved my nail color. I immediately texted Jim (how does he ever get anything done with my constant messages) and told him about my nail admirer. He asked me to take a picture of the person who liked my nails.

I enrolled him in the next advanced class of Diversity Training!






I couldn't believe what a close match to my car interior!!

Fashion Week NYC 2013 Spring Collection

Enough about Jim at the Mayo Clinic. Let's go back to talking about 'Me'!

Did I mention to you I was in New York City last week? Did I mention it was Fashion Week in the city for the Spring 2013 collections? Did I mention I weaseled myself into a runway show? Tibi is a collection who's operations are based out of Saint Simons Island, GA. I met the designer's Mother who just happened to live in TERRE HAUTE, INDIANA. So, we immediately became fast friends! It was through this connection that I contacted the PR person for the company and asked for 10 invites (they aren't tickets--you're invited to these events). That was a stretch, but they gave me 2 standing room only spaces (which turned into fabulous seats). I emailed my new BFF PR person Friday afternoon and secured a 3rd seat. My friend offered to give the PR person her firstborn, but she never took us up on that offer.

I sat in my chair staring at everyone wondering what they were doing here. Everyone I know works for an Engine Company, hospital, or designs things for industry. Is fashion really this big? Do people buy their clothes somewhere else besides Kohl's (not that there's anything wrong with that)?

My fashionista friends-Pam and Michelle at the show.

Here I am with Pam rocking the vintage Tibi (thanks Anne for the loan). I should mention here the Hoosiers arrived 1 hour before the show. We were the first ones there. Everyone came late. We'll know next year for 'Oscar'.
