A New Tradition.

January 12, 2010 by lbatty

Since Deb and I have parted ways, my creative mind has been put on hold.  But just recently we started a new tradition: Monday Night Bachelor viewing get togethers!! We kicked off this new tradition last week with the 2 hour season premier.  I had forgotten how funny TV was when Deb was around….It’s hard to say the last time I laughed this hard at a commercial:

We definitely plan to continue this tradition every Monday night throughout the season…

These are a few of my favorite things…

Halloween follow up.

November 11, 2009 by lbatty

So now that I have waited far too long to follow-up on my Halloween post, I’ll just make it quick.

Adam made a spectacular Mexican and I went for Alice in Wonderland…going with the Disney theme with all the San Diego ladies! :)  Katie made an amazing Snow White!

princessWe had a blast in San Diego for the weekend! It hit me that I actually do miss a little piece of So Cal but mostly friends that I had to leave there!

Just another average Sunday Night.

October 27, 2009 by lbatty

With Halloween right around the corner, and costume choices up in the air, it was hard to just kick back and enjoy a little Sunday Night Football.  So after a few rounds of Margaritas, we set out on a mission to find Adam (in particular) a costume.

Zorro? nah.

A crab? maybe?

hah. No…it finally came down to a Mexican. Yes. A Mexican.

IMG_1311Unfortunately, Halloween Headquarters left us one accessory short: ELadam SOMBRERO!  After, a few more margaritas, thorough harassment of theGuacamole man, and a little white lie (none of our birthdays are for months!)…Adam’s costume was complete!

We topped off the night with a few bottles of Champagne, in some Fabulous Champagne Flutes–compliments of Brooke and Josh–to celebrate!

No big deal. Just another average Sunday Night.

Team Building.

October 22, 2009 by lbatty

Thanks to the movie Inglorious Bastards, I brought a little fun to the Qik office this afternoon.  We all decided it was about time we did a Team Building exercise to boost the afternoon mood at Qik HQ.

I think we’ll make this an afternoon tradition :-)

Halloween.

October 20, 2009 by lbatty

Trying to decide upon a Halloween costume is tough.  I have always been a fan of the ‘home made’ costumes vs. the pre-made, store bought type.

As a kid a dressed up as a witch 6 years in a row…no joke.  So I think that ever since I have been trying to make up for my lack of creativity.  In the fifth grade, I thought it would be a great idea to dress up like a Jolly Rancher…yes…the candy. With a kid size cardboard box, some matching tights, and two other flavored friends to match we sure looked the part!

But as you get older, it’s harder to pick out costumes.  And a cardboard box just won’t cut it.

I’d like to think some of my best work was done in college.

A fairy.

A Skittle?

Batgirl!

A golfer.

Batgirl re-created!

So what have I decided for this year? You’ll have to wait and see. But I can tell you this: I broke tradition and I bought a pre-made, store bought costume. Ugh!  I do plan to add my own touches here and there and hopefully save the outfit from pre-made doom!   I may also be trying to accessorize my boyfriend as well…but Adam is not one to dress up with the girls…so we’ll see. ;)

Happy Halloween!

Happy Hour in Mountain View!

Why would we book a hotel in advance?

September 17, 2009 by lbatty

So for some reason I’ve been leaving the planning to my oh so responsible boyfriend, Adam. 

We’ve now been on a camping trip with no tent…camping

…and most recently, we flew to Las Vegas with no hotel accomodations in place…

My new outlook: Unplanned and unpredictable…the only way to enjoy a vacation. :-)
