Found One

I got this one at Forever 21 for 22.00 bucks. It's a little brighter/busier than I wanted but it's comfy and cute. They had solid color ones at Wet Seal for $17 and Target for $20 that I might pick up later. Thanks for all the recommends and suggestions, and yes it does look kind of cute with the baby bump.

I'm on the hunt

I've been to Target, Old Navy, Nordstroms, The Gap, Banana, Forever 21 all the teeny bop stores in between, TJ Maxx and Ross, and nobody has any cute Sun dresses, or what I guess they are called now, 'the Maxi Dress', although anything with the word Maxi in it instantly gets the word Pad put after it in my head.

Has anyone seen one?

They don't have to be white, I just want something casual but that doesn't look like a hippy. I'm not really sure why the hippy look is in right now but I can do without it. According to one blog 'The Maxi Dress is all the rage this summer' ok so maybe that was last year, but still, wouldn't you think stores would carry them. Yeah I know Old Navy does have some but they aren't super cute and I have a hard time paying full price there because the quality is so cheap, but I might break down and get one from there anyways if I can't find them anywhere else.

Help a pregnant lady out, all I want to wear this summer are these dresses and no shoes, bring on the cliche!

The Haircut

I've been meaning to post about 'The Haircut' I got for my birthday. I'm still loving it. It's so much nicer to have short hair, especially when you have the amount of hair that I do. After I get it cut like this it looks like there is a small dog sleeping (or dead) on the floor. I should have saved some of it for another 'hair pillow' for Ike but I think one is enough for now.
I got my hair cut at Studio Enizio They are in Lehi off the Alpine Hwy and the cut was only $25. They have a full range of services that cost a bit more, but if you just want the cut I think it's a great price. The girl who cut my hair is named Kelly Clark if you are interested in requesting the same girl. She only works 3 days a week, but I called on Saturday at 1pm and was in by 2pm. I keep telling people too that they have you take your shirt off and put on a robe so you don't get hair on you, High Class! They have a blog too that has some fun music on that I'm listening to right now, it reminds me of an internet radio station I use to listen to years ago I was just thinking about the other day but I can't remember what it was called.
Let me know if anyone goes and checks out the Salon. Oh and feel free to tell me how fabulous I look since Ryan has yet to tell me he likes it.

St. Patty's book club

We had a fun book club last night. It was my turn to pick the book up for discussion and I chose Revolutionary Road by Richard Yates. From the cover you can probably guess why I chose it, yes I have a 50's obsession. The book made for a great discussion. I think we actually spent a solid 2 hours discussing it which rarely ever happens, and come to think of it Twilight or Harry Potter weren't mentioned once.

We all got in the spirit of the day and nearly everyone was wearing green. We also had a wide variety of delish green food. I made cucumber sandwiches to go with the 50's theme as well as St. Patty's. Everyone raved about Robins Green Curry which she is now required to post a recipe for. We always have the best food and this time was no exception.

Happy Birthday to Me!

So far so fun! Ryan took me out for dinner Friday night to a nice Japanese restaurant, Ryan is still talking about the chocolate mouse desert. Saturday Ryan was nice enough to let me escape the house kid free a couple of times, once to do some birthday shopping and then to get my HAIRCUT! woo hoo, (picture to come) at Studio Enizio It's a bit shorter than Ryan would like but I love it. Ike is also isn't too happy about it but that was the point, he needs to lose his hair obsession.
Today Ryan (sort of) let me sleep in. Then I'm going to lunch with my 4 favorite girlfriends. Tonight we are having a family dinner where I get to share the celebration with my sis-in-law Emily whose birthday was on the 11th. Happy Birthday Emily!, and Happy Birthday Me!

Birthday Wish List

My birthday is coming up on Sunday! I think this has been the most low key birthday I've had, but that's probably because it's the first birthday I haven't been working or in school so I don't have lots of people to remind about the big event. Also the older you get the less exciting the prospect of adding another year to your stats sounds.

I've also had a hard time coming up with things that I want for my birthday. I'm pretty content and don't really need anything, but of coarse there are still a few things I want.

#1 I want my (I mean Ryan's) laptop fixed. That way I wouldn't be such a no show in the blogging world as I have been lately. But I would like it fixed before the baby comes so I don't have to take the baby down to the cold stinky basement to check my email.

#2 I want season 2 of This American Life. It's out on DVD and I think you can only get it at borders.

#3 A Blackberry, only because Ryan can get 2 for 1 and he really needs a new phone.#4 A season pass to Thanksgiving point.

#5 Someone to watch Ike so I can go see Revolutionary Road before my bookclub on Tuesday, only problem is it's only playing at the Tower which is not my favorite place.

#6 Target and or iTunes gift cards are always welcome.

#7 anything from last years list cause I don't think I got anything from it.

#8 Last but not least what I want for my birthday is your love and support.

Thanks!
