Daisy Style for the Ween Concert

On the poll, “Daisy Style” won by a landslide. In case you were wondering what some of the “others” were, we had two blanks, and two write-ins: Yourself, and Red to wear my sexy red shoes. I was actually hoping that Daisy would win because we have so many daisies in our backyard right now that I wanted to do something with them.

When I saw that Daisy was probably going to win, I thought about how I could use them. I thought of a daisy chain necklace or possibly pinning them into my hair. Then I decided I was going to wear a flower garland in my hair. Then, I looked in my hair supply drawer and found a headband that would work perfectly.

In case you ever want to try this out, it was extremely easy. I did it on my lunch break yesterday.
1) Gather the daisies, leave about 2 inches of stem. Depending on the look, pick flower sizes accordingly.
2) Lay the daisies out in the order you want them placed.
3) Insert into the headband starting with the middle and working outword.

4) Add water and refrigerate until use.

5) Add a flowery dress, some accessories and Voila! Daisy girl!


Also added some daisy earrings

The concert was pretty fun. I didn’t know very many songs compared to Britton and it was super hot in there. It was basically an old hangar that was converted into a theatre and it felt like there was no air conditioning at all. We were sweating, and my poor daisies only lasted about an hour in there before wilting. When we first got there some girl came up and hugged me when she saw the daisies. (Yes, There were a lot of hippies!) We went out to Buca Di Beppo for dinner and that was pretty fun too. Overall, a great kickoff for my birthday. Thanks everyone for voting!! 🙂

Dinner with Jody

We went out on Friday night with my good friend and former co-worker, Jody and her family. I haven’t seen her since probably December and so when I saw her again I was so happily surprised. I knew she was pregnant, but it’s always so shocking to see someone change that dramatically after six or seven months. It was great to see her again.


What a cute belly!


They used to call us the “Tobacco Twins” at work

Date Night

I received a couple of movie tickets from the Greeley Tribune for blogging on their site, so Britton and I decided to go out to dinner and see a movie. We were trying to determine the last time we went out to a movie. It must be over a year. We usually get them in DVD form for free from the library. Libraries are the best!!


Me with the free tickets

We saw WALL.E. because Britton loves Pixar technology and we went to Toy Story for our very first date what, oh, over eight years ago now! It was crazy though because we were the only people in the theatre without a companion that was 10 years old or younger. It was kind of funny. But hey, as an adult, we can choose whatever we want from G to X, I suppose!

WALL.E had a good message about the amount of consumption and trash we generate on a daily basis and how this is destroying the Earth. The people of the future were big blobs that couldn’t even move and were totally tied to the (future) television. The ironic disappointment I see, however, is that our current “Buy N Large” of Wal-Mart type stores are selling “WALL.E action-figures”. The message seems to be lost…we don’t need more junk…Interesting how our fairy tales warning of the “big bad wolf” have turned into the big bad…us.


WALL.E says, “PLEASE, stop consuming!”

Here is a classic BUY NOTHING DAY commercial
