We had an event at work on Tuesday morning and my boss asked me to get a few pics. I didn't take any other ones that day, so I had to creatively crop this so as not to reveal any identities.
This was right before I almost passed out during the meeting, btw. I had to get to work at 6:45 (!!!!) that morning to set up for the event. When I got there, I immediatly began running around setting up for the event, I didn't eat anything yet that day, the night before I had done this really hard stair workout, so I was exhausted and sore from that, the room was super hot AND I had to stand in my heels for the entire 1.5 hour long meeting. About 10 mins before it ended, I was trying to figure out an exit strategy in case things got really bad. Thankfully, I didn't make a scene and excused myself to sit down and eat a bagel immediately after it was over.
The good news from this day though: my new nephew was born! I'll see him on Tuesday! Pictures to follow (obvi).

When Tom went to school here and we would hang out from time to time, I would always pass these greenhouses on the way to his place. I have been meaning to go there all year to take a pic of them at night. They look so cool all illuminated and everything.

Last weekend I took some pictures for some friends of ours. This is their daughter. I told her to stand by this tree and she went all America's Next Top Model on me.

This place is popular around these parts for their take out - mostly their fish fry I think. We finally decided to try it out last Friday night. It was asi asi. I've had better.

This stuff is so awesome. You put it on under your eyeshadow and you can say goodbye to oiliness and creases that tend to show up later in the day. Pair it with Model In a Bottle and your eye makeup will.not.budge.

I started reading New Moon in the beginning of summer. Why can I not get into it? I still have about 100 pages left and I really want to finish before the movie comes out. Also, why am I sort of on Team Jacob? Maybe because in real life I am more on Team Taylor Lautner than Team R.Patz? I feel like I am on an island on my own on this one...

These are our pals, Mike and Michelle. They are all over the internet - you can find them here and here. They asked if I would meet them downtown to take some quick pics for them...and I mean quick...we all had a Packer Game to watch soon after I met up with them. I liked this fun outtake.
(The Packer game was so upsetting. I decided my love/hate for Brett Favre is very similar to my love/hate for Britney Spears. Yes. Hear me out. Sometimes Britney does things and I am all like, "what is wrong with you, Britney? And what are you wearing??", but then she busts out with something amazing like Womanizer and I cannot help but love her and remember all the great years of entertainment she has provided for me. And then there is freaking Brett Favre. Again, I am all like, "Brett, what is wrong with you? You are breaking my heart!", but then I see him interviewed or watch him play and I can't help but kind of like him a lot.)

I headed downtown right before game time on Saturday in hopes of getting a great pic showing how many people come out for the Badger games and all the red you would see if you were around Regent Street on a game day.
So here's the thing. I got some pics. I took some looking down Regent where there are people walking toward the games for blocks...I got some of the crowds of people waiting to get into Camp Randall...and I got a few looking down a block of tailgaters. None of them did anything for me though except the one above...which does not show the scope of Badger Saturdays at all. I need to work on backing up off the subject and showing some context. How fun is this little dunebuggy though?? I love Badger Saturdays...

Grace
Taking a break from my regularly scheduled 365 picture postings to get the word out about Grace Weber. Grace is Meghan's cousin, but we also went to the same grade school/church and her family are friends of ours, so we go way back.
The point of all this? She is an amazing singer. So amazing in fact, that she was picked as one of the 8 semi-finalists on Oprah's Karaoke Challenge! How sweet is that?! She will be singing on the Oprah show this Thursday, Nov. 5th in an American Idol type contest. You know the drill - they'll sing, there are judges, you vote and they crown a winner!
So, set your DVRs, watch if you are home and VOTE FOR GRACE! If she makes it through, I'll be back to remind everyone to vote again. Don't worry :) There is also a Facebook event group that everyone reading this should join and invite all their friends to join. It will give updates about the voting, etc. also. What are you waiting for?? Get that DVR set and join the group here!
Here is the video she submitted:

Check out these beautious pumpkins that are in the window display at Bop! I'm obsessed. I think I may go out tomorrow and buy the necessary materials to replicate that blingy one.

Nancy and I are working on a little craft project, so we went to Archiver's to get some paper on Wednesday night. This place has so many options - texture, shimmer, shine, glitter, every color you can imagine - yet we had such a hard time finding exactly what we wanted! I think we got some good stuff though. Results of the project to come...

More cookies. we need to stop with the cookies probably. Especially because I bought about 4 boxes of Girl Scout cookies that are coming soon. Are Girl Scouts all over selling cookies now? or is that just in Madison? Either way, I can't wait to get my hands on some of those tasty Lemonades!

My girls, Dre and Diz. The stars aligned and we were all in town on the same day with nothing going on, so we got together and had brunch at Cafe Hollander on Sunday morning. Love that place! Such a great addition to the Tosa Village. Diz was so adorable with her tiny little baby belly too. I sort of can't believe she is having a baby. I still feel like we are 16 sometimes.
