another one bites the dust

there goes another weekend [waving hand sadly as it passes]... but it was all good (which means jayne owes me $10, right ji??)

Friday night I enjoyed a nice dinner out with my girls representin' the east side, Tania and Crystal. We dined a la Bobby Byrnes, then stopped for a drink at Dinos...

...which only reinforced the fact that I am NOT the sports-bar type of girl.

Too many grodie after-work guys, trying to chat me up as I flash them my blingin' diamond wedding band/ engagement ring ensemble in their faces as I order drinks for the girls.

<---- (lame excuse to show off a recent pic I took of said rings... how lucky am I to have scored these *sweet* babies??!!)

Seriously, while I was waiting to pay the tab before we left, I actually overheard the two guys behind me having a conversation that went something like this:

(girl they had just been talking to walks away)

guy #1: dude, she's crazy

guy #2: yeah, and she's got Stevie Wonder nipples

guy #1: what??

guy #2: you know, they're all bumpy around the outside so you don't have to even open your eyes, you can just feel where they are with your fingers. it's like those books that blind people read.

guy #1: dude, that's nasty!

I can't tell you how hard it was for me not to turn around and tell the two idiots "THIS IS WHY YOU DON'T GET LAID!!!" Hey, at least I learned something new. I never would have guessed Stevie Wonder had bumpy nipples ;)

On to Saturday... two classes with Donna Downey at the store. I'm too lazy to find my camera and upload the pics right now, but if you want a few snapshots check out e-ho's blog. Oh, while you're at it, congratulate her for kicking fatty anonymous' Weight Watcher's a$$ and losing freaking 9 lbs in her first week. I totally want to vomit on her, in a non eating-disorder sort of way. :P

I took her Year in the Life and Creative Lisence classes, and they were fab. So glad I got my act together and brought upwards of 400 photos with me.. no joke. After hauking all of those pics with me, I still didn't have half the snapshots I wanted to use for the Year class. Guess I'll have to modify the project a lil' when I get around to locating the missing pictures. Just par for the course where I'm concerned ;)

Sunday (bloody sunday... thanks Bono)... a long day at work. The weather was (apparently) beautiful, which I think scared the touristy-types away from Main Street. I'm sure the beach was a ppular place to be today... it was warm and sunny and a great way to bring in the first day of Fall. Although I wasn't able to enjoy the sunshine and warm temperatures today, I did bust out a coolio make and take for Saturday 9/29... so make sure you stop by the store and check it out next weekend.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend the Scrap Pink crop next weekend due to previous commitments (a.k.a. Jessica and David's Wedding!)... but it is sure to be a good time reagrdless. If you'll be in the {CC} area over the weekend, make sure to stop by the store and check out the raffle that will be taking place... lots of creative chicks are making goods to be raffled off in the name of raising boucoup dollars for breast cancer.

<-- This is the goodie I made to contribute to the raffle. It's a mini book made from ginormous playing cards and based on the words from the Rascal Flatts song "My Wish".

I've been wanting to make something using the lyrics to this song because it's so freaking sappy ;P

I used the song at preschool graduation the last year I was a teacher, and the parents all loved it. We also played it at our wedding last year... it's just a sweet and inspirational song.. perfect for something like raising breast cancer awareness and supporting those who have gone through the ordeal.

Take a listen and hug someone you love today :)

That bar conversation was too funny! I guess guys like that are everywhere, aren't they?

Your rings are gorgeous!

How could they tell about the nipples unless they were showing? Or her shirt was way too tight. Did you happen to see?

I havent been in a bar in over 7 years-when I met up with my son who was dating a coke head-he didtn know it either. WHen he found out, he went balistic.Why?? He was a cop. A stupid one too. Are all guys dumb for a while (and some never get undumb) He is married to an artist now. SHe is good for him-smacks him when I cant

Second: That pink mini book is gorgeous.

Third: I love country music, it's my fav, don't tell anyone. And I think Rascal Flatts are super.

Fourth: Where does one find ginormous playing cards? Because my anal, everything-must-line-up self would LIKE those.

Fifth: Hope you enjoyed DD.

For some crazy reason, I decided to venture back into Dino's last night. It helped remind me why I enjoy bars in Hyannis so much more than Falmouth!
