I spent the other weekend attending the El Dorado Community Vision Coalition Mardi Gras themed gala fundraiser for healthy, safe, drug-free youth. The party was held at the at Mercedes Benz of El Dorado Hills. Mark  S. Allen from Mark at the Movies was the MC and he was nothing short of pure entertainment! The evening included Cajun food, lots of dancing thanks to music from Gator Beat Band (a zydeco band) and an array of fun and fruity  libations like Hurricanes and Mai Tais. I cannot complain on the VIP treatment as we had our own reserved table as well thank you to Innerwork Mortgage!! As you can see from the pictures below, we had a pretty good time!

Being Responsible

A Wicket-ism is philosophical system of thoughts developed from the teachings of the canine philosopher Wicket.

Halloween is the time of year when pet owners tourture us. Thanks Mom… can you tell I’m loving this?

Once again I am way way late in posting… but I have made it my New Year’s resolution to stay on top of my beloved Meghan Show! (AGAIN) Trust me… I would do this all day every day… 24 hours a day if I could… and one day I will! LOL

So… I just wanted to get a few fun pictures up from Halloween.. OMG! YES… that is right. Hall-O-Freakin-Ween! 2010! HA! Make fun of me… that is fine. I suck! I KNOW!

Anyhooooo…. love you all! XXXOOO♥

Finally… I have had the pictures ready to post yet I just could not seem to find the time to sit my happy ass down and write the blog post. So, my apologies for taking so long. As usual, Jamie (Jamie Brooke Photography) and I had way too much fun together. The picture of me in a bathtub was taken when we decided to walk in to a upscale design showroom and I hopped in the front window display. I’d like to think I helped their sales.

So… I’m keeping it short and sweet… check out Jamie’s site! My words do not do her talent justice. Enjoy!!

This is actually the front of a lawyer’s office. I was praying they would not open the door when we were taking this picture… however I was fully prepared to yell “erroneous! erroneous on all accounts!” if they did.

I hopped on a old fashion scale… and needless to say there was a crowd right behind Jamie laughing at me.

Obviously something was funny… It was a pretty busy day and we were getting a lot of people honking at us, asking us weird questions, etc. I, of course, made up some interesting answer as to why we were doing the photo shoot. Why not? We were having fun!

I am still regretting not buying that hat. That would have been be such a rad hat to rock at a tea party… or just any party for that matter! I’ve been to one tea party in my life… so I think I would just need to have a Dos Equis moment and wear the hat out one night.

Let me just say… it was not easy to keep a straight face… NOT EASY!

This was one of the last pictures we took (IT WAS HOT OUT and we were headed to get some rockin’ fro yo) and I remember looking at this family walking by just staring at us. It kind of reminds me of a mug shot… that is why I love it. So if I ever have to get a mug shot (which I hope NEVER happens)… I would like for it to look like this. HAHAH

Here we are… bath tub time. Yes… this is the very front of the store! DISPLAY WINDOW! There were people walking by just looking at me… some laughing… some wondering if I was a “live model”. LOL! Jamie and I were dying laughing. Funny thing was… none of the sales people came up to us. I actually was waiting for a tap on the shoulder and a… “may I help you?” Perhaps next time I’ll come in a bathrobe!

PS: the tub…not that comfy. I do not recommend buying!

XOXO, ♥

Liza (my most amazing sister) and her wonderful boyfriend Matt gave us all a wine tasting trip to Napa for Christmas this past year. Well…. we all wanted to wait until the weather was a bit warmer to go…. and this past weekend was perfect. We all meet up at the Oakville Grocery Co to stock up on sandos and other yummies for a picnic later that afternoon. We were lucky to have Matt’s sister join us (Sarah) while her husband was off enjoying the Masters Golf Tournament. ROUGH LIFE HUH??

Once we caused enough of a ructious we headed out to Cuvaison Estate Wines in Napa. We had a private tasting room overlooking the vineyards… it was absolutely beautiful (a must visit if you are in the area)! Long story short we had a blast! Thank you Matt & Liza for a rockin’ X-mas gift… Triple ‘X’ Santa was proud! HAHAHA!   (you all will have to ask about the Triple ‘X” Santa story… it is a good one).

♥ Lot’s of love!!!

I have to say I had one of the best Valentine’s Days ever yesterday. Our friend Steve had a great idea to take advantage of the beautiful day and go on a hike. So we did what any normal hikers would do…packed some wine, cheese, and crackers and ventured to Hidden Falls Park for a half day of fun. It was not long into the hike that I was notified that if we were to get lost I would be the first one to be eaten as I was definitely the most tasty of the bunch. I was not too happy about that!! HAHA! I had eaten a bad of Salsa Verde Doritos on the way up and the boys kept telling me that they were marinade chips… so they would be eating Mexican later. Boys are so weird.

Overall, the hike was great and the views were amazing! I highly recommend going to Hidden Falls in Auburn, CA if you can. You will not regret it.

Just a quick post debuting Steve’s epic picture of 2010. It was a great idea to jump off this rock. Sierra and I were in full agreement to do it. Let me just tell you… I think I shrank at least 2 inches after the landing. IT HURT! So… thank god the picture turned out pretty cool… so..here you have it! Steve’s EPIC PICTURE OF 2010.

We took the dogs (Wicket and Rig’s) for a quick beach visit before the Superbowl. We could not get over how much they loved the ocean so we officially renamed the beach “Shih Tzu Beach”. Plan on seeing more pictures and videos in the near future from Shih Tzu beach.

I’m a bit behind on posting these pictures from my trip to Lake Tahoe for New Years!! No excuses…. I HOPE YOU CAN FORGIVE ME??

I was somewhat forced into having a Halloween party this year (thank you Morgan and Sierra)… but I have to say I am thankful those lovely friends of mine had they way as it turned out to be one heck of a good time. I wanted to share a few pictures with you all of my hard work… as I spent a lot of time decorating. I should have spent a little more time taking pictures as they do not give justice to how the house actually looked. With the dim lighting, it looked MUCH BETTER than the pictures perceive.  I gave my front room a Twilight theme (Yes… I have a small obsession… but since Morgan and Sierra do as well I thought it was only fitting). I have to give a big shout out to Hostess With The Mostess as that is where I got all my ideas for the Twilight theme. I also now follow her on Twitter. She has a kick ass site!!!

The rest of the house I went with the Evite theme of pink at black. My favorite was the house drink (a little thing we use to make back in college called “The Force”). In true Halloween form we added dry ice and in the video to come you will see that I was quite proud of my libation! LOL!

I do wish I took more pictures of everyone’s costumes… I did a horrible job on camera duty! BAD MEGHAN!

ENJOY!!

So…since I have completely lagged on posting ANYTHING!! (I’M SO SO SO SORRY!!! I promise I’m in the process of editing a few things… call it a learning curve to greatness. LOL)…. I figured I would share a little wedding madness with you. The photographer (who rocked) put together a sideshow of the pictures he took that day. This all took place in Jamestown, RI (GREATEST PLACE ON EARTH IN MY BOOK). I’m actually editing a wedding outtakes video right now… I just happened to find one of the groomsman’s Flips and ‘borrowed’ all of the videos he took from that long weekend. HAHAH!
It did rain a little the day of the wedding…but that did not stop us from having a blast (and closing down the local bar!!! I did get a free tee-shirt too… a big Thank You to the “Ganny”). You will notice the bridesmaids are in green rain boots. That was an idea we had about an hour before the wedding. I told all the girls to scrap their gold shoes and sent them down the aisle in galoshes… thanks to a dear friend who picked them all up. (Yes.. we made some insane phone calls getting all the right sizes and putting them on hold… it was hysterical!)

Anyhoo… I hope you enjoy… It truly was one hell of a PARTY!!! and I do promise to be getting something new out to you all here soon!

HUGS!
