Kiss My Putt Commercial Shoot

Yesterday, I had my first commercial shoot for Kiss My Putt. Kiss My Putt is a new business in the world of golf that offers hip, modern and fun golf products all geared toward hip, modern and fun women. :-) This is perfect for women like me and my clients. I consider myself (and my clients) modern, hip women who wouldn't be caught dead in the BORING golf outfits, clubs and accessories you find in the sporting goods store. Angelica N. (owner) has a great eye for fashion and I can't wait to see what they have in store for their next round of products!

Check out the store at www.kissmyputt.com and add the website to your bookmarks as I think a clothing line is coming next!

Sick AGAIN!!!

What is wrong with my body??? Last night, I was feeling so much better, but I woke up this morning feeling the same way I did yesterday! Cold medicine gives you such a false sense of security - it makes you THINK you're okay but you're really NOT.

I'm going to take a nap. . . . . . .

SICK today.

I was SOOOOOOO sick today. For the past few days my throat has been hurting, especially when I swallow. This morning I woke up congested and slightly feverish. Even though I had these symptoms, I went into the office this morning at 7am. (Crazy - I know! I blame it on my father's work ethic that was instilled in me.) I only lasted an hour at the office before I decided to go home. Before I left, I called my hubby to let him know and you know what he did?? He was on his way to the bus stop and decided to turn around, go to the grocery store, pick up "sick stuff", meet me at home and put me to bed. I slept all day and when I finally woke up I was RAVENOUS! Needless to say, I ate a little too much. :-P

I'm feeling much better and will update my blog tomorrow with a recap of Girl's Night and my FABULOUS bruschetta recipe!

Girl's Night Tonight!

I'm so excited - tonight I'm hosting a "Girl's Night"! :-)

Every once in awhile my girlfriends and I will get together for a "Girl's Night" which basically consists of good food, wine and lots of laughter and conversation. Sometimes we'll try to watch a movie or Sex in the City but it always gets overpowered by 'men talk' or just reminiscing about the past.

I've always wanted to host a small party where I cooked ALL of the food and tonight is my chance. I'm a Food-Network junkie and one thing I've learned from Ina Garten (Barefoot Contessa), Giada de Laurentis (Everyday Italian) and Rachel Ray (30 minute meals) is to have dishes that can be prepared for in advance. BOY, are they right!

So, following their advice I planned a menu around things that needed to be chilled or could sit around at room temperature. Last night, it took me THREE HOURS to prepare the appetizers and salad. If I would've waited until this evening - I don't know what I would have done!

When I get home this evening all I have to do is cook Chicken Piccata (which will take 30 minutes MAX) and skewer the antipasta. It's going to be a fun night!

I recorded a video BLOG entry but my little point and shoot camera cut me off as I was talking about my AMAZING bruschetta recipe. Here it is anyway and I'll share my AWESOME recipes in tomorrow's blog post:

HOME today!

Roads are iced over and closed. . .9 car pile-ups. . .why would anyone leave their house?

Stay warm!

:-)

BRRRRRRR.......

Classic TEXAS weather. Saturday it was in the 70s and humid.....this morning it's in the 30s (and dropping) and COLD.

What's even more annoying is when some guy walks in from outside WITHOUT a coat or hat and makes fun of "us Texans" for making such a big deal about the weather. Apparently, he doesn't need a coat or jacket because he's from Chicago. WRONG! I've been to Chicago when it's in the 30s and they're MORE bundled up than we are.

Have a great day and stay warm!

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Check it out!



Have a great evening! :-)

My FIRST Maternity Session

I had such an AWESOME time at this session. Nhi is just beginning her 2nd trimester and I can't wait for our next session!









Enjoy!

Learn to Swim

One of the happiest days in our lives was when our Buddy learned how to swim at the dog park. We've always wanted a "water dog" and thought "the Bud" would take to the water like butter to bread. Unfortunately, that was not to be. After several failed attempts at the Millie Bush dog park - he finally went swimming.

Getting over the fear:



Isn't it funny to watch a 65lb dog flailing in 2-feet deep water? :-P

Here he is FINALLY swimming:



We're such PROUD parents! :-)

Nhi's Maternity Session

I had so much fun today shooting Nhi's first maternity portraits. She's just begun her 2nd trimester and she'd like me to shoot her once a month to show the growth of her baby/belly. We're gonna have so much fun! Here are a few from this afternoon:
