HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEN~

Oh Halloween.. How I almost missed thee.

Well .. it all started when I couldn't find a costume.. but thankfully Lauren took me down to Little 5 Points to Psycho Sisters (a really cool vintage shop) and the amazing people there helped me put together a costume.

So the gang headed out for the evening. We stopped at the Day of the Dead Art Show to see some really cool coffins Eric and Chris had made.


After that we headed to The Masquerade. We danced, drinked, took pictures and they even had a fortune teller.. which you know I couldn't pass up. It was such a good time and a ton of fun to see all the great costumes out there.

Happy Halloween~

Pumpkin Carving Time!

Remember last year when I carved that awesome werewolf pumpkin.. well this year I did an equally awesome skull and crossbones. We all gathered at the White House, and gutted those pumpkins, carved and then had the obligatory photoshoot.

Mini Golf and a Shake

Everyone loves to mini-golf... especially Me, Lauren and Craig. So we drove down to Pirates Cove Mini-Golf for a round. I am sad to say that I didn't win.. but it was still a lot of fun. Congrats to Lauren on her score. Although I'm pretty sure she cheated. ;)


~SAY CHEESE~



~LOL.. I show Craig how it's done~
We then headed to Steak and Shake for my favorite chocolate shake in town.


~YUMMMM~

ZOMBIE WALK 2010

Zombie Walk. Cause who doesn't love tearing up clothing, spitting fake blood on each other and walking through downtown Atlanta. Last year I did it with Eric, Chris and Brandon, and it seems that it has become tradition. It was pretty cold and rainy this year, but was still fun!

H.A.L.L.O.W.E.E.N.

A year ago yesterday I started my 'cheery disposition'. After reading several other blogs I became inspired to start my own too. I gotta tell you it has become something I am pretty proud of. Its funny to look back at my first post and remember what was going on at that time. This blog turned out to be somewhat of a diary of the past year. My goal one day is to have hundreds of followers who await reading my blog daily. So on my blog-aversary here's how I celebrated Halloween.

On Halloween morning I had to work. So my morning consisted of cupcakes, cookies and prepping the restaurant for dinner service.




From there I went home to get ready for "the Von White's" Halloween Spectacular. I have not dressed up for Halloween in a very long time. I think the last time I put on a costume I was in 10th grade and I went as Raggedy Ann. I remember when I was little being so excited to go out and trick or treat. I would sit in my mom's bathroom and she would put mascara, red lipstick, and pink blush on my face. It was always such a treat to be able to wear the grown-up make-up if only for one evening. My dad would take us around to all the houses always carrying an umbrella, since it always seemed to rain on Halloween. After walking to all the houses we would come home, dump our candy on the kitchen table for my Dad to pick through , I think he was secretly looking for a Nestle Chunky bar. That was what Halloween was for me growing up.

So this year Brittany came over to get ready with me. For my costume I decided on Snow White. Basically if it comes with a headband I am sold. I love headbands and for me that made the outfit. I even went out in search for the perfect red apple to complete my look. At the party we ate, drank and then..we.. did the Mash...we did the Monster Mash..and it was a smash!


'Someday my Prince will come'




What did you dress up as for Halloween?

Jack-o-lanterns!!!!

Tonight we all gathered at Chris' house..aka.. Halloween headquarters for some pizza and pumpkin carving. After clearing out the 'gunk and seeds' from inside we broke for pizza, and then continued with our carvings as we sang 90's music. My original plan was to carve Sidney Crosby's face or the penguins logo. But alas here is what we all decided on.. Lauren carved an adorable skeleton, Chris carved a bat, Brittany went with a mad scientist, and I carved a werewolf. A sort of a tribute to New Moon if you will. Fun times were had by all.. and the countdown to Halloween ensues, 4 more days!

me and my pump.







my ode to New Moon and Jacob Black.:)

What did you carve into your pumpkin?

The Great Pumpkin

Yesterday my friend Lauren and I had some fun girl time as we went on our hunt for pumpkins. This week us and some of our friends are going to carve pumpkins so we were in need of a 'great' pumpkin. We went to the patch by my house which was a little small, but we managed to take some fun pictures before realizing that they only accepted cash. From there we headed to this really cute little shop on "love street" that sells all kinds of little knick-knacks for the house. From there we went to Publix where we got HUGE pumpkins for $5.99 (seriously folks you can't beat that). One half that size at the patch was $13 dollars. After our pumpkins were secure in Lauren's back seat we went to Scalinis for a lovely meal of salad, garlic rolls, pasta and spumoni. YUMMMMMMMM!!! After gorging ourselves on the endless rolls we came back to my house for a little chick flick movie night... on the agenda...The Proposal ,which had Lauren laughing so hard I'm sure my neighbors heard her...lol! A busy and fun filled day!



Have you gotten your pumpkin yet? Stay tuned folks.. cause we are carving them on Tuesday! Happy Fall Ya'll!!

GLEE!!!!!!!!!!

This fall a new series premiered, Glee! I would describe this show as absolutely delightful! What more could a girl ask for than a show about a Glee club. I mean it has all the key components I look for in a television show. Drama, dancing, romance and SINGING!!!! Here is a clip from this week where Puck (such a cutie) sings one of my all time favorite Neil Diamond songs. Sweet Caroline. Enjoy!


Are you as hooked as I am??

Terrific. Tin Lizzy. Type of Tuesday.

Today is my 100th Blog! I must say I am pretty proud of it, and I'm glad that this post is going to be a fun one. Today started out like any other day. I woke up wishing that I could sleep till 11.. but alas I went to work at 7. I came home and got ready for a little bit of fun time with Lauren and Brittany. We ate at my new favorite cantina called Tin Lizzy's. They have delicious queso, guacamole, salsa and I love love love their gourmet soft taco's. Tonight I partook in the Buffalo Chicken Tacos and they were delicious! After our Mexican fiesta, we headed down to a Halloween costume shop where we tried on costumes until we were all excited about our choices. I'm not going to tell you what I decided on .. not yet anyway. But I will give you a hint. My costume came with a cape. Does that help?? What do you think it is? Go ahead and guess.

Once our selections were made we played in the hat section, much to the employees dismay. But as Men At Work said "aint nothing gonna break my stride". LOL! So now that the stress of picking a costume is done I can now relax and enjoy this Haunted Holiday.


Sho Nuf!

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

I'm Speechless!

Yes that is a propeller on my hat!


So.. what are you going to be this Halloween??

Baby its cold outside...

This week I have finally started feeling the chill of fall and it's lovely. While I usually enjoy the warmer temperatures, its kinda nice to feel the cool morning air and turn on the heat in my car.

What do I love about fall... well.. here are a few!

  • Boots! ( I just bought an amazing pair of Candies boots)
  • New Episodes of my favorite TV shows (Glee, Grey's, Vampire Diaries, Top Chef)
  • Sitting under thick comforters while watching TV
  • Football and Hockey season
  • Seeing Pumpkins Everywhere
  • Layers of clothing and just fall fashion in general
  • Making Halloween cookies at work
So here's to a happy and fantastic fall!

Fall is in the Air

"Don't you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies."- You've Got Mail

Fall...Oh how I love thee. I walked outside this afternoon and something was different, the air I was breathing in wasn't hot and humid, it was cool and crisp. Perfect weather for taking the top off my car. It was a lovely 78 degrees outside.

I should probably bite my tongue for saying this but I am ready for summer to be over. I'm ready for all the great things that come along with fall. The trees will change colors and fall fashion will ensue. Today I went to the mall to check out what the stores have to offer for this season. So tell me ...I found these cute BCBG Cowboy boots at Macy's .. Yay or Nay. I think they are so cute but what would I wear them with. Maybe a ruffled flannel shirt? I could take the western chic route.



What are you wearing this fall? What trends should I be involved in? In other news have you checked out the accessories at urban outfitters lately. I swear if I could own everything in this store I would, but I especially love their earrings and necklaces. Since birds are the new black this season check out these adorable bird stud earrings. As soon as I can make my way to Lenox mall these bad boys are going to be mine.



Well until next time, Happy Fall Shopping.
