Things I love: Kris Kross will make you jump JUMP

Ahh Computer I missed you! For Valentines Day I "gave" Casey a computer free weekend, meaning I didn't open the computer once Friday night, Saturday (I did manage to sneak on for a bit on Saturday the morning) or all day Sunday! Wow I have so much to catch up on (like a giveaway to sort out), blog reads to and pictures to upload.

When I opened my computer today to find my blog posts featured on two websites.Bback in January when I posted my jumping pictures after my excitement of seeing Ms. Britney Spears herself, a fellow blogger Anotherfishinthesea suggested I send my pics over to the JumpBeacause blog. So I quickly headed over to the blog to check it. The blog is filled with people jumping all over the world. The pictures are moments of excitement, joy and enthusiasm caputred in a sinlge jump, pretty sweet. Looking at the pictures It made my day. After visiting the blog I knew I had to send my pictures in! Head over there today to check out the site and too once again see my cheesy jumping self portrait pictures, as well as ots other very cool pictures that will definitly make you smile.

I was also very exited to see the Smuin Ballet Linked MY blog post about my night out seeing their ballet! I thought that was pretty cool. I would have further reviewed if I had known they were going to link my post but at least I picked a cool title! They also invited me to a special blogger/photographer show where bloggers are allowed to take pictures of the show. I just may have to go. All this ballet really makes me want strap on some ballet shoes and take a dance class. I miss dancing a lot.
I just had to share a screen shot of this:

Casey and I both have the day off today so I probably won't get as much computer time in as I need to catch up on blog reading but I will be back later with some pictures and the giveaway winner!! Hope you weekend was great!

Look of The day: These Vagabond Shoes, They are Longing to Stray

Casey and I had a lot of fun on our date last night. I was able to find food I would actually eat at Ruth Chris and Casey thought the ballet was more interesting then he expected, he was actually better at interpreting the story lines then me, I was just hypnotized by the dancing and music. I had Sinatra stuck in my head all day today. The choregaphy was amazing, it is amazing what the dancers can do with their bodies It was a very nice night, and it was really nice that we used a Gift Card for the restaurant and I won the tickets to the Smuin ballet. Using the curlers turned out pretty well the waves were still in my hair when I woke up, which never happens when I use a curling iron. I think the more I practice the better I will get at it. I am currently in the kitchen (as I type this) preparing lots super bowl snacks for the boys. Casey had a list of "football food" he wants lol. Hope your Super Bowl Sunday is a fun one!
My dress is from forever 21 and is not online but see my previous post for alternative dresses.
Shoes are Christina Louboutin, similar here.
I am super behind on responding to blog comments and reading blogs this weekend, but thanks for all the comments on my silly post from yesterday. Hope I can catch up my blog reading tonight (or during the game if it's a snoozer)!
Does anyone even know who the half time show is? Please tell me it's not Taylor Swift!! I've had enough of her these days...

Style Icon: Fly me to the Moon

Tomorrow Casey and I going to Musical Ballet featuring Frank Sinatra tunes. To get me in the mood I put on some Frank Sinatra jams and decided to take a look back at the Old Blue Eyes and the rest of the Rat Pack. AMAZING!
