Weekend Recap - Martini Party and BDay Party

This weekend has been jammed packed with girlfriends! Sometimes that is just what the doctor ordered [or maybe not when you have bronchitis and a sinus infection! but it was a good way to get my ~~lazy a$$~~ sick a$$ off the couch!]

Friday night I had my annual girls martini party. I look forward to this every year.

I set up the bar and food prior to the girls arrival

My martini glass veggie pizza - thanks Kelly for inspiring me!

This year instead of a martini glass exchange we chose to do a $20 gift card to any store. There were some good cards floating around... iTunes, Sephora, Express, Crate and Barrel, Amazon...

and apparently i was too wrapped up in conversation with the girls because that was the end of my pictures for the night.

Saturday Aly and I had plans to go out for one of our mutual friend's birthday downtown Columbus.

We started our night at the hotel... [felt like i was in formal again back in the sorority! ha!] we met up, some of the girls got ready, they pre-gamed, and we took lots of pictures [like i said - i felt like formal!]

Nicole, Kush - the birthday girl and Laurie

all the Toledo girls before going out

after we left the hotel we went to the dueling piano bar called big bang

I had never been to a piano bar and it was a lot of fun!
Laurie, myself and Aly

Aly sporting the "mom camera look" - love it! [love the strap around the neck even more! ha!]

the birthday girl and myself

at one point throughout the night they played hang on sloopy [an OSU theme song] and Laurie... one of the biggest Michigan fans that I know [who happens to be dating a buckeye fan] started singing the words without realizing what she was doing. i told her that she had to finish the song complete with the O-H-I-O at the end! [and of course i had to text her bf and let him know the small miracle that had just occurred!]

After an eventful Friday and Saturday night we had a pretty low key Sunday consisting of taking down most of the XMas decorations and went to my parents to watch football and for dinner.

I hope y'all had a wonderful weekend as well!

I will have a bachelor post up around noon for the predictions to begin for who won't be getting a rose week 2! Make sure to come back and visit!

let the predictions begin....

Welcome 2011 my blogging lovelies!

As we all know that not only is it a new year but its also a new season of the bachelor [and it may just be the most hated bachelor ever! but after all we wouldn't watch it if there wasn't drama in EVERY episode - right?!]

Can you actually believe that Brad Womack is the new bachelor?!?!

So after talking to one of my friends, and realizing how much fun football fantasy drafts can be - we decided that making a bachelor fantasy draft [of who you think is going to make it to the final rose and who do you think gets the boot every week].

So with today being the first episode - I want you to pick who you think [not who reality steve told you to pick] will be the person with the final rose at the end of the season!

I'm all about competition - and there will be a prize whoever gets the most right over the course of the next several weeks... [and lets be honest - who doesn't love a little friendly competition!]

So let the commenting begin - who do you think Brad will propose to at the end of the season?!!?

Here are the girls:

Alli
24 years old
