hello out there

Do I still have readers out there? I have been so busy with life as a property manager and college students moving all over the world that I havent had time to write. Here is my life update!

Fashion show went GREAT! I decided not to wear the shoes I posted but wore some yellow Chinese Laundry wedges I had bought on sale a few years ago. I did get the dress and wore it and got lots of compliments. Here is a photo (the only one I have so far) from left: mom's boyfriend, Mom, Me and my boyfriend.

The next weekend was my best friend, Elizabeth's, bachelorette Party. I was her maid of honor and we went to Isle of Palms, SC to celebrate. It was essentially her high school friends and her college friends and we didnt have much in common. I would like for you to know that the college friends (us) beat the others in flip cup! We ended up kidnapping the bride and crashing a bachelor party with a telemundo VJ star. Its a story to tell in person but it was epic and so much fun. Here I am with the bride to be.

I got back to Savannah the night before Memorial Day. P and I went to Sea Island to see my brother and his family. We spent the day on both Sea Island and St Simons and literally took naps in the pool. It was relaxing and I wish I was there right now.

I worked my tail off the next week and then we had the SCAD graduation concert in the park. It was a good time and I made a fatty new food.

Yep that's an Oreo baked inside a cookie. Surprisingly very tasty! I bought a bag of cookie dough and prepared it, it turned out a little too greasy with the whole stick of butter. Next time I will use the dough in the roll or tub. Basically you just mold the dough around the Oreo and bake.

The next weekend was time for my BFF to get married. I feel I was a good maid of honor. I chauffeured her around all weekend. I woke up with her at 7am the day of her wedding because she couldn't sleep. I made sure her bags were in the car for the honeymoon. I brought the dress and rings safely to the ceremony site.When Elizabeth told me she wanted to get married in a field in the middle of Summer I freaked out a little. Truth be told it was the most beautiful and simplistic wedding I've ever attended. We wore cowboy boots and navy blue j crew dresses. Here are a few photos.

 

SCAD fashion show prep work

I've been in a special mood for about a week. I am doing the South Beach diet and just finished week 1 on phase 1. So I havent had carbs or sweets in over a week. I'm down 5lbs after week 1 and between my cravings for all things sweet and carby I'm being moody (Plus PMS during full moon doesnt help)

I have SCAD fashion show coming up next month and I want to lose 20lbs before the big day. Manolo Blahnik will be coming and accepting the Andre Leon Talley achievement award. To brag a little, Andre is a close family friend and once came for Thanksgiving, he is very nice and very tall.

So I've picked my shoes. They are the Sex and the City something blue shoes.

They are ordered and should arrive next week. I'm having them sent to my office because I'm scared the will get stolen off my porch.

I've picked this dress for right now. I think it will be flattering to my curvy shape and still fit whether I lose 20lbs or not. What do you think of this outfit?

The Tourist

After hearing this movie was not so good my love of all things Johnny Depp decided to wait until it came out on netflix. I watched this movie the other night and I liked it. Surprisingly what I liked more was Angelina Jolie's style, makeup, jewels, the whole package.

I've never been a big Angie fan. I think she is a homewrecking whore (Team Jen). I've also never found her that pretty, the tattoos were always a distraction for me. That our the vile of blood around her neck.

That being said. These photos are gorgeous. I want her stylist and makeup artist at my disposal right now!

 

And these photos dont even really do her justice. Here is a video of a makeup artist doing her thing. 

Property Manager take 246

Okay so I've written a few posts about my job and how ridiculous some of the people I deal with are. I have talked about the hoarder, some of the crazy parents and the crazy questions I get. Here is a sample of my last month and one that happened today involving dental floss. I'm thinking of starting a whole separate blog for this stuff.

Tenant: My internet is out what do I do.
Me: Ummm Call your internet provider and not your landlord

New tenant: Before I move in I need to know what will happen in case the building burns down or explodes, how will i be compensated.
Me: (laughing) I'm sorry did you say Explode????
Tenant: Yes, this is not a laughing matter miss.
Me: I'm sorry. I suggest you get renters insurance because if the building explodes I cant help you protect your belongings.

New Tenant:(same as above) Our parents dont know we will be living together so if they call can you not mention my girlfriend.
Me: Yes I will be discreet if they ask me if you are living in sin. (Again thinking he is joking I laugh)
Tenants GF: Mam this is very serious to us, I'm in seminiary and could get in a lot of trouble if anyone finds out we are living....... in sin (About to cry)
Me: Just make sure you dont get pregnant and I doubt they would ever know (big smile....no giggles from the audience, this is a tough crowd).

Tenant: Why am I being charged $120 for plumbing?
Me: Becuase the plumber found dental floss in your sink
Tenant: Do you want me to stop flossing my teeth??
Me: No sir, I want you to put the used floss in the trash can and not the sink drain

Tenants mother: It is very important that her windows are sealed shut
Me: I can not do that becuase it is against fire code
mom: What fire codes? If there is a fire she isnt going to jump out of the window
Me: Ma'am it doesnt matter what she WILL do, its what could happen and I have to obey the law
Mom: Well what if someone tries to break in her apartment through the window.
Me: Ma'am she is on the second floor with no balcony, I dont think anyone will scale the wall

Tenant: We need a new bathtub
Me: Why
Tenant: Because I dont fit in the current one
Me: Then I suggest you take showers instead of baths.

Super commercials

I LOVE football. I love the game itself, I love cute football players and I especially love the food that comes with watching this sporting event. I'm not a fan of either team but I really despise Steelers fans so I cheered for the Packers. After spending an amazing day at Ft Pulaski on Tybee Island...where I took this great shot.

 

We picked up some wings and I made my infamous "crack dip" (Sausage, cream cheese, rotel). I sat my happy ass on the floor and started making fun of the players tattoos  (God's gift was my favorite). But the highlight of every superbowl is the commercials. The cable kept going out so I missed a few but now that I've had a chance to catch them all... here are my favorites.
