Song Of The Week: Oh Sherrie

It has to be said that I love me some Steve Perry. He rocketed to fame with the band Journey and left the band to pursue a solo career. I don't think he was quite as successful on his own but he did have a great hit with Oh Sherrie. I love singing along to this in my car (usually involves me screaming at the top of my lungs - "YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN GONE"), and just found out a fun fact that he gave his girlfriend at the time Sherrie Swafford (who also stars in the video) partial royalties for that song. So even if their love didn't last a lifetime, you can guarantee that she has a special place for Steve in her pocketbook.

Off to San Diego....

Happiness Is....

It has already been a heck of week at work, but I have much to be happy about in my personal life!

First off, last week I was asked by Darci at With This Ring if I was interested in being a guest blogger while she was away getting married. My answer of course was an enthusiastic "YES!!!" Darci provided me much inspiration in my wedding planning, and her creativeness never ceases to amaze me. Congrats to Darci, and thank you for allowing me to be apart of your amazing blog!!

Second off, Erin at Blue-Eyed Bride sent me a sweet email, naming me the proud new owner/winner of a Reisenthel collapsible basket and cover! I got to pick out my own design and of course couldn't decide between two, so Erin selected one for me and I will have a surprise awaiting me in the next week or so. Thank you Erin for the fun giveaway and congrats on your 200th post!

Here's hoping ya'll are having lots to be happy about this week as well!

Don't Sweat the Small Stuff....

Okay so maybe a wedding, or your company presentation, or meeting your significant others parents for the first time, aren't necessarily small things. However, they are all things that you do not want to be "pitting out" when doing. Especially when they all require the perfect outfit and poise, and pit-stains my friends, just don't go with anything.

When I figured out that it might be hot, and I might be a tad nervous on the "big day", I realized I needed a deodorant that wouldn't show everyone exactly how I was feeling. I picked up a tube of Kiehl's Superbly Efficient Anti-Perspirant Deodorant, and have to say I was a bit perturbed by the fact that I would spread this lotion-like substance under my arms and that it would work as well as Secret Clinical. I am quite happy to say that it did work well, and I got over the weirdness that is applying lotion under your armpits. I think I was developing a bit of an immunity to the Secret Clinical and this deodorant gave me the results that I desired.

So if you have a big event coming up and nothing seems to work, try this deodorant out, it is quite literally superb!

My Preppy Name

Your Preppy Name Is...

Armitage Winthrop Lathrop the Sixth But most people know you as Babs

What's Your Preppy Name?

Love this little quiz found on A Glimpse of the Girl Next Door. Quite the name I have there, but love that I go by Babs! I am gonna have to definitely sport that name when next playing tennis with Tad and Buffy.

Go Rhinos!

The Rhinos last softball game of the season is tonight, pending a win which would push us into the playoffs. It has been a very fun and challenging experience for me (I have come home with a new bruise every game), but I have enjoyed every minute of it. I will definitely partake again next year. Go Rhinos!
