Back to Back Fab

Life has been so crazy lately!  I feel like I need to play catch up here at le blog to let you guys know what's been going on. 

I had two pretty great weekends in a row.

May 4th I hopped on the train to NYC for one of my best high school friend's bachelorette parties.

Obviously this meant I needed a blow out...

Enjoying a deep conditioning treatment at Wayne Agassi Salon in Brooklyn, while my friends went to an exercise class...suckers!

The Finished Product
Brooklyn does a nice blow out!

Love these girls!
Dinner at Fig and Olive - Dancing at Von

Subway/Penn Station

It wouldn't be right to NOT get a slice of NYC pizza - definitely one of the things I miss the most.

This past weekend I rocked my best twenties fashion at Gatsby.

I think this is a good look for me...
Clearly I need to go to a Roaring Twenties theme party...
Somebody make that happen... ok? 

I loved it.
One of my favorite novels paired with one of my favorite directors.
What's not to love?

In between I had a yard sale and saw Les Miserables...

Life has been good:  busy, but good.  

This week proved challenging as well: my personal shopping business is busier than ever, I had two sick kids, a salon visit, Rochester A-List event, Dado fashion show, planned the first ever Rochester Blogger Network event, and still need to pack for next week.  Ah you know what they say - "eat when you're old, sleep when you're dead..."  Let's just hope this schedule doesn't kill me!  Ha! 

Off to Michigan next week for a return visit to Kaufman Children's Center for some intense therapy for my boys.  Not sure if I'll be able to sneak any blog time in or not... just going to have to play it by ear.  I do have a fab DIY beauty guest post lined up and will try to pop in at least once... stay tuned!

Two for Tuesday: Potty Training Edition

Tomorrow marks one week in underwear (pull ups at night).  All in all I think he is doing really well, but we have managed to have accidents in two public places.

1.  The Chinese Restaurant

This photo is from my bachelorette party circa 2007
But I'm holding sushi so I decided it could work.
What can I say?  I needed a photo

Now for the story:  He's sitting there, mowing some lo mein noodles, watching rescue bots on Steve's i-pad when BAM!  the biggest pee I've ever seen in my life soaks the booth, his pants, socks, sneakers etc.  We had to carry him out barefoot.  I'm pretty sure we're never allowed back.

2.  The Liquor Store

Pick him up at school, grab a happy meal, and run to liquor store for cheap bottle of red wine that I forgot to buy for the beef stew I was making for dinner.  I walk three steps away from the child and hear:  "Mama..pee-pee."  There he is standing in a puddle on the mat next to the cash register.  The lady working was less than pleased.  I offered to clean it up, but made the mistake of asking for carpet cleaner.   Apparently this is the first time someone urinated in her store and she never had use for carpet cleaner before.  She made sure she told me that (twice) and proceeded to give me a look that said "you shouldn't have your snot nose kids in my liquor store anyway."  I asked if she wanted me to spray her carpet with the windex she put on the counter and she said: "you better spray it with something before it stinks to high heaven."  Ok I get it, you're pissed (no pun intended) but it's not like I just peed in your store.  The kid is three and he is adorable and accidents happens.  I guess I'm going to have to start buying my booze somewhere else.  Her loss.  They might go out of business because this mama drinks a lot of wine - I mean if this incident proved anything its that I need my booze more than anyone else.  When we got to the car I said to Colt: "boy that was embarrassing huh?"  To which he replied, "no" and smiled that cute little chicklet tooth smile at me. Super.  I'm going to need a new liquor store.  Stat.

Hope you're having a terrific Tuesday and that no one pees on your stuff.
