Final Fling Before The Ring.

Team Stephanie!

The gals!

This is so awkward but I HAD to put it up

Everything should be pink and sparkly

Last weekend was Stephanie's Bachelorette Party. It was so much fun!

Big shout out to Sarah for being the best Maid of Honor, EVER! She ordered all these fun, bachelorette party-themed (if you catch my drift) items, and it was totally embarrassing for everyone, but quite the good time!

We played "pin the manhood on the man", which was fairly outrageous. We had to pick our own "manhood" (or have it picked for us, in my case) to pin on the poster. Mine was bacon and eggs, because Sarah knows I have a thing for bacon. We then had to tape them to us as name tags and wear them out...my tape "fell off" so I shoved it into my purse as soon as I could ;)

We also had fun blinking pink rings that we wore on our wedding ring fingers...

they were so cute! We found them at Michael's one day randomly and HAD to have them!

Sarah and Meghan also made everyone matching "Team Stephanie" shirts in the spirit of Eclipse and team-claiming. They were darling!

The night was a total success. Stephanie and Mike got married on Sunday, and it was amazing and she look so beautiful. Sarah made the cake it was GORGEOUS.

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.

Voting Station!

The Gals!

So, everyone knows I love the Twilight books. Ever since I picked up the first book at Target ( just to read at the gym, mind you), I have been hooked!

As a disclaimer, I know they are written for 14 year old girls, but let's be real, we're all 14 year old girls at heart, even in our 20's, 30's and 40's. I have read all the books many, many times.

The third movie, Eclipse, came out on June 30th, and I was working the night of the premiere, so my co-worker and I decided to have a little fun with all the "twi-hards" and make it an Eclipse themed shift.

The night before we were to work together, Alyse (my supervisor) and I talked about making a voting station for all the fans to declare their love for either Edward Cullen or Jacob Black. We bought red and black m&m's and made a display for the hand-off plane so the voting could begin!

The day of our close together, Alyse and I met at Hot Topic and purchased shirts declaring our respective teams, I OF COURSE, bought a shirt with a huge photo of Robert Pattinson on it...Alyse is a team Jacob kind of gal...RUDE.

There has recently been a phenomenon called "Team Switzerland". It comes from a quote that Bella says in the book about being neutral territory between the vampires and the werewolves. Being the fair gals that we are, we got a shirt for our pre-closer, Derrick, with the Team Switzerland crest.

It was such a blast!

We wore our outfits to work (special shout out to Tam for letting us do that!) and had a ton of fun chatting with customers about what team they were on, how long they'd been in line, how many times they'd read the books, and of course, if they thought Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart would last as a couple.

The day after it came out, Sarah and I went together to see it. It was amazing! Eclipse is my favorite book in the series, so I was glad the movie was the best so far!

*As a side note, I recently watched Robert Pattinson's new movie, Remember Me.

It.was.awesome! It was a great love story, and had a huge twist at the end that made me GASP out loud then burst into tears. He is SUCH a dream.
