3. Have a well respected museum ask/beg to host my art show
4. Sit in front of the Eiffel Tower and paint it
5. Meet Tim Gunn and hug him for saying "Make it Work"- his catch phrase has gotten me through many a day!

7 Things I Can Do...

3. Stylize. I love when my friends ask me to plan outfits for them for special events. Makes my week!
4. Eat the Chocolate. I can always eat chocolate... need to not do this so much!

3. Resist the sweets. I need to learn how.
4. watch scary movies. Right on Jennifer L. I can't do it. Freaks me out.

4. His brain- he is the smartest man on earth. I love that!
5. His smile- it brightens my day!
6. That he loves animals as much as I do!
7. He always knows how to make me happy when I am sad, and I know he will do anything for his Jenny

Heaven knows she reads everyone elses! Quit get get getting and start giving to the others who are bored at work! - Love Jenny :)

Whirl of a Weekend...

Wow, this has been one of the most crazy weekends ever! It started on Friday when I drove to Dallas for the start of Jessica's wedding weekend! We had a lovely bridesmaid's luncheon followed by my Lingerie shower for Jess! My wedding gift to Jess...
So much fun! A good time was had by all I think!

After the shower we had a little down time before the rehearsal and oh so tasty dinner at Rainbow Grille in Downtown Carrollton. If you are ever in the area you MUST GO! It was great! I decided to drive home and sleep in my own bed after that.

On Saturday I drove back out to Carrollton for the wedding. It was beautiful! Jess was an amazing bride, and Josh had the most sincere heart of any groom I have ever met- well besides my Greg of course ;) ! It was such a sweet ceremony! The reception was the most fun I have had in a long while! The neon glow stick glasses made it for me. So did the Whole Foods organic cupcakes! I was in heaven! Such a fun party!!!

On Saturday night after Greg and I drove home my sweet little Holly got super sick. She tossed her little cookies all over our bed, so at 4:00am I got to do a full sheet change. Fun stuff- esp. when you are beyond exhaustion from a crazy fun wedding! She got worse and worse as the night went on, so on Sunday we spent the day at the emergency vet. They put like 2 cups of water under her skin in her back because she had gotten so dehydrated. It was the weirdest thing I have ever seen! She looked like Quasimodo! I am happy to report that she is MUCH better today. She even ate a little kibble and drank some water- and kept it down! It was so scary- I am glad she is getting back to normal!

I had such a good weekend- besides the driving and puppy sickness. I am hoping to catch up on my rest this week so we can have a great time in Austin on Thanksgiving for the University of Texas game! Go Longhorns!!!

Sorry I am a Dud

Hey peeps. Sorry I am such a dud blogger lately. I have been sick in bed with a cold. Everyone pray that I am better by tomorrow! I am hosting a saucy lingerie shower for my sweet friend Jessica, and I am the matron of honor in her wedding this weekend. I need to be at the top of my game! I will post lots and lots of photos on Monday. Until then...



I hope Gregory takes me this weekend! I can't wait!

Ha ha

I'm sick with the sniffles, but this made me laugh...

Whirl of a Weekend!

I had a very fulfilling, busy and happy weekend! I started my weekend with a photography session at my co-worker's farm. I take the pictures for our annual report every year. These are some of my favorites...
The light was GREAT when I started, then it got dark, cloudy and rainy in the 15 mins I was out there! Might need to try again.

Friday night Greg and I hung out with our puppies. Holly had her spay surgery that day, so she needed lots of TLC. We had pizza and just relaxed. It was lovely!

On Saturday my day started with tennis. Wow, singles tennis is a tad harder than the doubles I have been playing. I also played up a level in this tournament. That with my singles skills lacking- I lost. I played well in the morning match though.

In between my two matches I had Nathan's 1st Birthday! It was cookie monster themed. Oh so fun! We had a great time. He is the cutest kid on earth! It was a tad chilly, but I enjoyed it. I even went down the slides! I am such a kid at heart, and I think I look stupid in baseball hats. Oh well! Nathan in his cookie monster shirt

Me and the hubs hangin' with Mr. Nathan

I took Nathan down the slide- Bethany is too cute. She is so stinking smart! She is 3 and was explaining to me how rockets work!

That evening I had my 2nd tennis match- which is why I was already dressed for it at Nathan's party. It was FREEZING when the sun went down. I warmed up rather quickly though b/c the woman I played wore me out! She had me running from corner to corner and beat me pretty badly. It shows that I have a TON to learn in playing singles. I loved it though. Such a good work out.

My body hurt in places I didn't even know existed on Sunday! My brother played in this tournament too. He was playing in the finals on Sunday morning, so I rolled out of bed with Mr. Oscar and went to watch. He is good. I need to be half as good as he is. Oh well, he played well but also lost his last match. He hadn't played in a tournament in ages! I was proud of him!

The rest of the day Sunday I just ran some errands and lounged around. I was feeling a bit puny. I think all of my crazy activities allowed me to catch a cold. I am hoping it goes away before Jessica's wedding this next weekend! I can't wait!

Thursday Night Fun

Last night I went to Mistletoe and Magic, a Christmas themed shopping fiesta hosted by the Tyler Junior League, with Christie, her Nathan, Jennifer Jennings and myself. I ran in to lots of friends while I was there too. I had a fabulous time! Normally I don't really buy much at these things, but last night I found way to much stuff that I had to have! I got the most girlie knit gloves for tennis when it is chilly, some amazing fancy almond lace cookies (got these last year- had to get them again!), Holly a fancy ballerina collar and a vintage looking Merry Christmas triangle banner.
Mr. Nathan wore his 100% boy shirt last night. It is SO true! He is all boy and so cute!


I got home around 9:00pm and thanks to the Yahoooooooz fancy coffee I was able to finish my newest longhorn painting for the Hotel NYLO competition. I think I will call him Longhorn Love. What do you think?

I had to take poor little Holly Golightly to the vet this morning to get her femininity removed. We will take good care of her! She is excited to wear her ballerina collar during her recovery! She enjoyed trying it on last night.
I am playing SINGLES in a tennis tournament this weekend in Tyler. I am nervous. I haven't played singles in over a year! I am going to hit everything into the ally. Oh well, should be fun. I also have Mr. Nathan's 1st birthday party this weekend!!! I am super excited! Happy Friday everyone!!!

J-List: Favorite Beauty Products Edition: Part I

These are some of my favorite beauty products. They are the basics. I will do a post later with the make-up type stuff I like. Get excited!!!

Mistral Extra Rich Shea Butter in Vanilla Apricot This is the BEST lip product I have ever used. Say goodbye to chapped lips for all of winter with this lovely little pot of heaven! It smells divine too!

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Face Lotion SPF 15After watching Oprah's Beauty show with Dr. Oz, I decided to take preventative measures with my face. I have always worn a moisturizer with sunscreen, but now I use this one that has Vitamin C, E and Alpha Hydroxy Acid. I can already tell a difference and have only used it for 3 days! My face feels much softer- I love it!

Cetaphil Cleanser
Somewhere in my early 20's my face decided to be more dry normal than oily normal. This cleaner is so gentile and non-drying. I love it! The dry winter air won't bother me a bit!

Oil of Olay Quench Body Lotion
This lotion really feels like it stays with you all day. It doesn't feel greasy, but you just feel soft all day like you just put lotion on. It is great!

Oil of Olay Daily Facials- EXPRESS!Sometimes I am just too tired to wash my face at night. These little helpers make it super easy to go to bed with a clean face! No water is involved! They really get all of the dirt and make-up off too! Fabulous for lazy me.

So fresh and so clean clean!

Love at First Sight

Well, if you read my blog regularly you would know that I have a deep love for Coach purses. I hopped on to the Coach site to day in hopes of new bags for the holidays and fell in love.
Coach Madison Metallic Fringe Tote

I have been such a good girl this year... maybe Santa?

Totally Awesome

Okay, you really need to sign up for these two websites.

The first is www.upromise.com
It is a site that you shop through and it saves money for school. You can save money for your kids, your friends kids, pay off student loans and even if you don't have kids you can start now and save. You just shop through the site, or put it in your tool bar like me, and it tells you what percent of that store will go to your savings. You can also link your credit cards, CVS cards, grocery store cards etc... to save money while you buy other things. I started 2 weeks ago and already have $18.05 in my account! It is going to go towards my hubby's law school loans. We have a long way to go, but it helps right?

Another is Salemail. It is also known as Shopittome.com. This is realllllllly cool. You enter in all of your sizes and favorite designers/stores and it will e-mail you every day with your favorite stuff that is for sale in your size! I have found the BEST deals! I am not sure how you sign up, but I know how to refer someone from my e-mail. So if you are interested e-mail me- jennifermoreman@gmail.com- and I can send you a link!

I saw this on another blog I read. I love it. It is now my desktop background. Enjoy!

J-List: Baby It's Cold Outside Edition

Life Goes On

I don't feel like doing a post on the election, but not because I am a sore looser. I am just burned out on all things politics. I wish Obama the best and will pray for God's guidance and wisdom for him. He has one tough journey ahead of him! McCain was noble and gracious as ever last night.

I spotted this Lucky Planner by Sarah Pinto on A Line Skirt's blog. Isn't it cute!

Little Holly Update...

We thought we had a wonderful home for little Holly Golightly, but it did not work out. I am so tempted to keep her! I love love love this little girl!

Happy Election Day!

I am pretty darn excited about today! I voted early, so no long lines for me- woo hoo! I have tennis tonight, which isn't over until about 9:00pm, but hopefully there will still be plenty of election coverage excitement when I get home!

Today's decision will make history no matter which way it turns. I hope it turns MY way, but we shall see!!

Go out and vote today! Free Starbucks and Ben and Jerry's if you do too!
