Happy Memorial Day. This day has significant meaning for me. My grandfather was in the Army and served in Korea. My great grandfather served in WWII in the Army. My father served in Vietnam in the Navy. A few of my uncles have served in the military and my mother was in the Army. I have the utmost respect for those who serve our country to protect freedom and make things safe for us. It's a hard job to do and countless men and women have lost their lives doing it. Remember them. Good Poem:
ETSY. There were pendents, twilight tags, some candy wrappers that I wrapped over Nestle Crunch bars, cute magnets, sparkly lip gloss, and altoids (cause Edward has sweet breath). I made the bags also, that was a messy project. I had glitter EVERYWHERE! Scott wanted to know if I was trying to re-enact the meadow scene. He just thinks he is so funny. Anyway, we had red themed food and fondue. I took the label idea for the rootbeer and jones sodas from the Hostess with the Mostess. They turned out really cute. I made strawberry cupcakes and cherry popcorn balls. There was milk chocolate and white chocolate fondue, hot tamales, cinnamon bears, and lots of other good treats. Melanie and I thought it would be a good idea to make jungle juice. Really didn't taste that great. Sabrina brought pomegranate martinis, which were SOOO good. We were supposed to start the movie at 7:30 but probably didn't start it until 8 or 8:30. It was still so much fun. I'm really glad everyone came.
I went to the dentist today and I am FINALLY done with my top invisalign tray! WOOT WOOT! I'm super excited. The buttons (the things that hold on the invisalign and help move the teeth) were taken off. I only had 3 on the top teeth so it wasn't that bad. It feel so great to finally have them off. Now I just have to finish with the bottom teeth. I had a bit of a set back with those because one of my teeth wasn't turning properly so I had to move back a few trays. I think I'm on tray 16 of 21. However my dentist said that my teeth look great without that one tooth moving and everything is in line so he took the button off it (I had five on the bottom teeth) and everything is good. Now I have to wear a retainer at night. So super glad to have them done:) Oh and on a different note can I tell you how excited I am for the Twilight party this weekend!!! I have some pretty cute stuff and I have worked with some pretty awesome people getting the favors for the party. I want to post it on here now, but I don't want to run the risk of my friends seeing it. Only a few more days:) Okay, done rambling. Peace:)
What I should be doing is going to sleep, what I am doing is checking Twitter and my blog! Step away from the computer Jasmine...step away.
So, in response to Nicki's comment, I have LOADS of Etsy suggestions. But I have to wait until Saturday's Twilight party is over before I can post them. A lot of the stuff I've got for the gift bags is a surprise (who am I really kidding, I can't handle surprises! I always ruin them cause I get too excited to give people presents.) I do however have a Twitter now. Not sure if that is a good thing. Sometimes it's nice just to post a quick short sentence so that the people who follow can see what I'm up to. Don't really do it that much, maybe that is why I only have 4 followers so far! Haha. Anywho, here is the like http://twitter.com/JasmineParker. If you feel like checking it out please do:) Sometimes it gets pretty interesting. All right, gotta go to bed. BAH! I can't believe the weekend is over all ready. Time to go to sleep and then get up at 4:45 and get my bum on the treadmill. Is it worth it? Sure it is, makes me feel blah all day long! Haha. This week will fly by though. This year has flown by. And it's going to be BUSY until we get back from Dizzyland. Anway, ramble, ramble, ramble. Such the Jazzy way:) Smoochies.
To all the mothers out there HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! I still don't consider myself a mom after all this time. Just the wicked step mother:) I hope all the mothers have a fantastic day. You totally deserve it! Love you all.
I'm having a Twilight Party. Okay, make fun of me if you want, I can take it! I saw some really cool party ideas on The Hostess with the Mostess so I thought a party would be really fun. Here are the invitations I made (and even burned myself with the wax seal!). Don't want to give too much away about the favors and such:) The party is on the 23rd so I will have to post more after it's all said and done:) Didn't the invites turn out cool? I'm very proud of myself:)
For all of my friends who are Twilight obsessed (or just need a good laugh!), check out www.twilightwidower.blogspot.com. SO SO SO FUNNY! I think I need to go home and appologize to Scott for bineg so neglectful! Maybe I shouldn't have ordered that shirt from Cafepress.com that says "sparkle you fool, sparkle".
as 15 minutes late for work:)
