I excitedly kicked off my Nashville weekend by finding these oh-so-fabulous fingerless gloves in the girl’s department (I have small hands) at Target for $3.99 (click here to purchase)!
I celebrated the return of one of my favorite shows – Cougar Town (don’t let the title fool you – a quick-witted show with A LOT of wine drinking fun!) with my First Mate (click here to read about our Redneck Red Carpet experience).

A toast to our favorite TV character, Jules.
To prepare for our viewing, First Mate brought wine to share….except she accidentally poured an entire bottle in her glass.
But luckily for me, she brought two bottles of wine and I couldn’t let her drink alone (being the gracious host that I am, naturally).
Then Teddy had to get in on the action, of course.
One of my co-workers texted this picture to me (found on Pinterest) and thought I might need it for my birthday this year but only with pink flowers (duh).
Teddy’s cousin, Gunner (click here to read about their matching Halloween outfits) had an incident with ice in the frigid Iowa weather.
And my dad apparently can’t let the holiday season go, still sporting his Griswold Family Christmas t-shirt (but who can blame him, as it’s one of the funniest holiday movies ever!).
Another night of fun with the girls, celebrating a recent engagement.
The party was a success (as seen above) and I was able to keep the photo bombing art alive – with a sneaky side plank (I’m getting so adventurous).
Because he was such a good kit cat during the party, Ted got to go for a spin around town during a thunderstorm.
And we both spent the remainder of the weekend curled up, watching the Golden Globe Awards. Teddy and I pretended we were Joan and Melissa Rivers judging celebs’ attire as they paraded down the red carpet while we stuffed our faces with guacamole (me) and frozen peas (Ted).
And a kick-ass surprise awaited my arrival at work today – a pink Eiffel Tower that my boss brought me from his weekend trip to Paris.
Ayez une semaine fabuleuse!

You just love sparkly things π hihhi they look good on on. I hope they are nice and warm π
I just can’t stay away from anything shiny and sparkly! I think I have an addiction. Hi, my name is Captain and I have an addiction to sequins.
lol you sure do π
Love it all! Your cat cracks me up! That cake is superb!!
Isn’t the cake fab?! And Teddy is such a little baby (thanks to me!).
Nice boss! And does Ted really eat frozen peas?!
I love the Globes. I heart all events where there might be a Clooney/Affleck/Pitt, etc, etc, siting.
Agreed on the Globes! I love that guests get to drink…that can always make for interesting speeches. And yes, Teddy’s all time favorite snack is seriously peas. I learned this by leaving a bag of opened peas on the counter, came back a few moments later to Ted’s entire head in the bag. Little piglet!
I adore those gloves!
Thanks! I almost shouted with glee when I found them at Target!
That is an impressively fabulous weekend topped off with that divine pink Eiffel Tower (nice boss or what?!)
Seriously impressive side plank btw!
I’ve been perfecting my side plank (or so I thought) in the early am of weekday mornings…come to find out, I can hold it way longer after four glasses of champs! My boss does rock (and knows me very well).
Those goblets are ridonculous (first time I ever write my wife’s favorite word)!!
Ha! I love ridonculous. And you know what? I have a wine glass BIGGER than the one I showed off today. You probably need one with all of your wine tasting…just saying!
Now that is a glass of wine. π
Oh yeah. It keeps going and going and going…kinda like the Energizer Bunny.
Why dirty the glass, just drink from the bottle!!
This won’t shock you to the core to know that drinking from the bottle DID take place…
Love the tower!
I do too!
I can bake the cake, but can not do the decorating. Sounds like one fine weekend! Do you realize we both have a TB in our lives?
Ha! I never thought of TB that way! I’ve had one in my life forever, now that I think about it! If you bake, I’ll find someone to decorate….hopefully.
You really know how to have a good time π
I do try to always have a good time! π
