Chris: Portofino moved Harbor Nights inside due to their fear of the 5 min sprinkle this afternoon. Big mistake, it was beautiful outside tonight!

Sandra: Just test drove the new G37 Convertible!

I was just thinking of "Ain't That a Kick in the Head" and when I heard it in Vegas Vacation. What a great movie! I love it when Rusty becomes "Mr. Papageorgio" and starts winning all kinds of stuff:

One of my brides made this amazing cake and posted a photo on Facebook recently. I thought the cake was incredible - I have yet to try fondant - I am too nervous! But I couldn't help but notice what appeared to be a Hello Kitty toaster in the background:



Do you see it?

With a little help from Google I found that yes, it is a toaster. And not just ANY toaster. Check out what it does to your bread!!! A small part is left un-toasted with the Hello Kitty imprint! How totally cool is that?!?!



And even better - they sell them at Target for $25.

Look out DGs at Florida! The 1996 jewel tones are back in style! Since Chi O was right across the street we used to see them practice Rush welcomes in their jewel tone dresses with dyed to match pumps. It was a hoot - but they looked great! Then we started to laugh about the fad and I donated my two jewel tone dresses I wore for Rush.

Well, look what I found at Neiman Marcus - a whole section devoted to jewel tone dresses! Even Louboutin and Blahnik are jumping on the re-trend - I saw a bunch of pumps in jewel tone colors in the shoe section!



Speaking of Delta Gamma - they had the cutest hats for the pledges on Bid Day! They had these little sailor hats - check this one out I found on Facebook. Isn't she cute?

I was at the gas station filling up and a Ford Mustang pulled in behind me with the top down. He barely put the pump in the car and he was done and out of there! I filled for another minute and said to Chris there is no way he got any gas! I went to look - sure enough he got $6 in gas. How far does that get you in a gas guzzling sporty Ford? Not very far! The thing that cracks me up - you are going to use the whole tank of gas at some point anyway - even if you don't drive often. You might as well stop once and fill up instead of wasting time stopping every 2 gallons!

Our friend Lee Forrest is an INCREDIBLE florist in Orlando and earlier this year he made me a dog made of flowers. More specifically a Poodle made of white carnations!

I told Chris if I can't have a real Poodle (I have always wanted a Standard Poodle) then the floral Poodle made by Lee was a fine substitute!

Check this out - he was huge! And the tongue is a cymbidium orchid! We nicknamed him "Famous" because everyone we know was talking about him. His last leg was at a Poodle Party over in Windermere. They all got a kick out of him, too!

I don't remember how many carnations Lee said he used - but he used full size and mini carnations. He said once he started the floral dog he had to order more carnations since he ran out!
