To say I have been busy with work would be an understatement. Then for the last 2 months I have been in and out of the dermatologist trying to figure out what the latest thing I am having a reaction to is. That endeavor has not gone well. All anyone can say is that when I had the gallbladder surgery my immune system went crazy and has yet to calm down.
Then last Thursday my face kind of looked like I had, had a stroke or something. Since it looked lopsided. As of yesterday, that seemed to have corrected itself.
My health does seem to be getting better. Hopping up on the wagon and working out every day does have its benefits.
Anyway, below is a picture of the “gift tin” me and my mother put together for my cousin’s college graduation along with the monogrammed perfume bottle I showed you earlier. The tin and everything in it is from Swoozie’s.
Also, there is a picture of me out on Saturday night(wearing some makeup for the first time in 2 months) in my new Elie Tahari dress that I said I would post a picture of.
Other than a whole lot of work, I am looking forward to my birthday party in 2 weeks with most of my friends. I have a great dress to wear and am really excited about seeing my friends.
As long as my face is not bright red and I am in full make-up.

E! Entertaining at the Costume Institute Ball
Mary Alice Stephenson & Giuliana Rancic to tackle fashion’s biggest night
Friday, May 02, 2008
(NEW YORK) On Monday, when Hollywood’s crème de la crème invade Manhattan to attend the Costume Institute benefit ball, E! will be there. The cable entertainment channel has green-lit a first-ever special feature documenting fashion’s equivalent of the Oscars. “The E! Met Special,” as its working title goes, will air on May 8 at 8 p.m. and feature red carpet interviews by correspondent Giuliana Rancic with arriving celebrities and their designer dates. What’s more, Mary Alice Stephenson and Bobbie Thomas will offer their commentary on this year’s Superheroes-themed exhibition as the go through the history of the Costume Institute and define why the annual affair put on by the Metropolitan Museum of Art is so relevant to actors and fashion A-listers. The hosts will detail all the extra steps celebrity attendees take to get ready for their big night out, from wardrobe fittings to last-minute hair and makeup touchups, all leading up to the moment the actress steps out of her Town Car. But don’t worry, given that this is E!, there will also be coverage of the night’s best and worst dressed.
My husband’s family is in the golf business. E3 sells slightly used clubs for them on ebay.
Here is the link for the current auction. Auctions happen periodically so if you are interested in high quality, barely used clubs, bookmark the seller and check back later for more options.
I had that feeling today. A little voice telling me not to the wear the white oxford. And I thought, maybe for once I would listen to that small voice whispering me to me. So I put on the old, Lacoste sweater and jeans and went 3+ hours south to a jobsite.
Thankfully, I did. When the downpour came and I was soaked to the bone and the only female on the jobsite, no one could see thru my shirt.
And mud was half way up my legs. Good times.

My schedule changes at the drop of a hat and my sister will be out of town on the day of Mother’s Day. So, this week I emailed her about getting together today for a small, family party for my mom. Of course, it was surprise.
My sister got her out of the house and then was a total chatterbox trying to keep her from coming back. I made all the food and picked up the flowers I had ordered from the Buckhead Whole Foods. We loved the rose topiaries they did for the event. (Best place ever for last minute events.)
Menu Included: Our Salmon Dip with crackers, Sherried Tomato Soup (with some changes), Pesto Chicken Salad with Arugula, Strawberry Cheesecake Bars and Champagne.
Needless to say, I saved up all week so that I could eat what I want and be able to drink. (Since I can’t really drink anymore.)
My mother LOVED it and I have to say I was very pleased with myself. Especially since it was all last minute.
