Sunshine Fun Times

The sun is finally shining and Spring is in full swing!  Flowers are blooming, the birds are singing, fresh air is filling the house through open windows…life is good.

 Can’t you just hear the birds in symphony?

As we are always looking for an excuse to have a party we had an impromptu gathering last Wednesday to celebrate our friend Ashley’s birthday.  Yes, even though it was her birthday our get together was very impromptu.  You know how we love birthdays and gatherings.  

 “That’s what life is all about: Let’s have a party. Let’s have it tonight.”   

Lilly Pulitzer 1931-2013

Give us an hour and we will have us a party!

The Birthday girl was supposed to go to see Morrissey, but since he cancelled- party time! 

Saturday’s great weather brought success and fun to Kate’s yard sale. Friends Kri and Martin brought about 1,200 records, which were all sold! Another friend Nicole got ride of a car load of stuff too. Kri got her craft on and made a bunch of bowls from scratched up records. Kate whipped up some wine bags, which were used for bartering goods and as a thank you gift to our Bloody Mary bartender, Mary (Or should I say Bloody Mary Mary?). At the end of the day we have a little more cash in our wallets, but more importantly, the basement has less junk in it!

It's always wine time!

Can't think of a groovier way to serve chips!

Next on the Nitty Gritty projects list for the month: gardening and lots of yard work, spring organizing of the home office, playing with chalk board paint, outdoor pergola curtains and much much more! As we complete these projects, we plan to post plenty of pictures and any how-to-dos!

Tonight we are headed back to class one more time to view the presentations put together by the PR and Brand Promotion class at VCU based on our guest speaking visit from last week. We are looking forward to hearing their insights on how to make Cocktails and Glitter the best blog ever!

Tomorrow we have book club with one of the coolest, funniest, smartest groups of ladies you will ever meet. Our book club rocks! We will be discussing over yummy food and wine State of Wonder by Ann Patchett. The last chapter will blow you away.

This weekend is the Monument 10K. Heather will be cheering on her dear friend Lauren who will be in town to run the 10K in support of Comfort Camp.  Sunday Funday will be spent in Carytown at the Carytown Beer Festival! 

Next weekend is our moment of truth as we take on the Color Me Rad run April 20, 2013 with our team the Zing Zangs! Time to cram in a little last minute training!

Cheers!
