e.l.f. giveaway winner + move update

Let's start this Monday off right!  The 7 piece e.l.f. giveaway winner is ....

Congrats Molly, you cute little thang, you!  E-mail me your address and I will send off your goodies stat.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to book Ryan Reynolds for the date. I hope you understand.

I loved reading all of your entries for the giveaway by the way!  I'd say mascara was the top choice for what you would wear on the date. 

No one asked, but I'll tell you any way.  I think I'd have to go with Ryan Gosling (swoon). What a cute couple we'd make, wouldn't you agree?

And if I had to pick 3 items only to wear on our first date, I'd choose eyeliner, mascara and a dark grey eyeshadow color to make a smokey eye.  When he laid eyes on me, we'd fall instantly in love, get married in a lavish ceremony on the beach, have 3 blonde haired, blue eyed babies and I'd never have to work again.  Sigh. This will never happen, but it's fun to pretend. 

Now, back to the real world because I have to fill you in on how the move went this weekend. 

One word: DISASTER. While there was no grease stained filthy room situation, my movers did show up over 3.5 hours late, one of them referred to himself as "The Beast" and I think some quotes from him will paint the picture best:

"I look good.  Would you believe I'm 30? How many 30 year olds do you know that look as good as this? Tell me I don't look good.  They call me the BEAST!"

... umm ok sir, why don't just you take your beast self and get to work.

"We accept tips, ya know? I take care of you, you take care of me. We gotta get paid.  We don't do this for free."

... Here's a tip "BEAST": Stop talking about tips and you may get one.

"I'm going to be in a fitness video in 2 months.  I'm going to be on the cover of fitness magazines. I'm 30 years old and I'm trying to make it happen.  I mean, look at me.  I weighed 220 three weeks ago and now I'm 190 pure muscle.  I'm all natural baby."

That's when I had to leave the room.  I tried to stay away from the Beast as much as possible.  On top of having to deal the 30-year-old "fitness model", one of the other movers put a HOLE in my brand new wall and a hole in one of my painted canvases.  I've also found shattered picture frames and a shattered vase.  I understand when you move that things are going to break, but putting a hole through my wall is not OK. 

I have a ton to do still as far as unpacking and decorating goes, but here are a few pictures I snapped on my phone this weekend. Nothing is hung on the walls yet, but I promise there will be plenty of pics to come as I finish rooms.  The last 2 pics are of my nephew in my new tub.  Who knew jacuzzi jets made bubbles like quadruple?  He was in heaven.

Have a great week!  Come Thursday, I'll be in New Orleans with this pretty lady (you may know her)!!  I'm counting down the days until we reunite again.  Watch out Bourbon St., there is a crazy blonde and ginge coming your way to find the "real us".
