in champagne is yummy,Friday,Friends,healing,weekends

This week

-I have put myself out there.
-I have cried. To some of you. Well, to all of you. Thank you.
-I have been sick, tired and uninspired.
-I have yelled at blogger and wrote him mean posts.(Blogger is def a dude. And I’m probably still not in your reader or dashboard wahh…) :)
-I have ignored my internet dating inbox…expect stories!
-I have developed a crush…expect better stories!
-I have also spent way too much money trying to make myself feel better, and while I am a firm believer in retail therapy-a FIRM BELIEVER-I also do not have a trust fund. So instead…
This weekend, if L.A cooperates, I’m going to-work on the tan (ohhh Santa/the mailman should be bringing this today!) and read Valley of The Dolls.

Make a few or many yummy kiwi Champagne Cocktails-Le Fleur Vert via my darling Daniel at Man That’s Fraiche! for myself and my ladies…and laugh, A LOT.Watch some Gossip Girl…well, watch some Blair and dream of her closet.

I’m going to write, because it feels good. What are you guys up to this weekend? What makes your heart and mind feel better after a rough week? Any tips that don’t involve…shopping? Le sigh…I love you, shopping.

Have a Happy Father’s Day! I know I’m going to be giving mine one big hug on Sunday!
Happy Weekend!! XOXO, Liz

Since I usually don’t blog on the weekend…just a reminder to enter my It’s Unbeweavable Hair and Make-up Giveaway! Yay, you know I had to!

Hey Darling, I just got up and saw you blogged. I feel so bad b/c I've been out of it too and haven't been able to talk to you much about how you've felt. I'm ususally so much better about that too!
Since I never have money, I like to tan, exercise (of course), and you should show bella some love too! Get pretty and take her for a walk.

3 XANABIOTICX June 19, 2009 at 4:05 am

well, i usually just sleep the stress of but i also super love going out to the park and ice cream. lol! i don't know if it'll work for you but it's worth to try, no? and i'm looking forward to read your stories.

visit mine, if you happen to like 'em, we can exchange links :)

Having a day to myself always helps me out; I love to take walks it just helps me put my thoughts together, also spending the day with your family can always help :]

18 Dooder City June 19, 2009 at 10:18 am

hey! I love that you are going to be reading Valley of the Dolls. I have never read it but it is on the 'MUST READ' list. It sounds like this week has been a roller coaster for you so this weekend you have earned the right to fart out and be lazy. I want to get tan but it has been rainy and cloudy here so no dice. I am going to be working tonight and tomorrow night so Sunday I am off to let my own brain fart:)

19 Pop Champagne June 19, 2009 at 10:40 am

20 Ali June 19, 2009 at 10:51 am

The cocktails. The COCKTAILS! Those sound so yum. I'm glad to hear you're coming out of your blegh-ness. I'm working on it. It's a process, as we both so very much know!

Why do I feel like I know you? So weird and cuppycake cool, don't you think? Me too.

:) Happy Friday and have a good weekend!

33 Daniel B. June 19, 2009 at 4:35 pm

good for you my love! i've been wondering when you were going to post that cocktail recipe (you show up on my reader/dashboard thingy and i always look for yours and your sisters posts!) you know what i love to do to help me relax? go to the bowers museum! it's the perfect size, not too big, not too small, they typically have really good exhibits, a great restaurant (it's a patina restaurant) the courtyard is lovely, lots of spots to sit and enjoy the breeze and shade and nature and write. love you doll! mwah! oh, i wrote the piece for my friends website, i'll have to be sure to let you know when she posts it! i'm super excited! i'm like the gay carrie bradshaw! :)

34 Alianna June 19, 2009 at 4:45 pm

I'll be cleaning windows and getting nervous about my next date with TB which is supposed to be on Thursday. Of course, I haven't announced it (except here) and it may not occur (because I just jinxed it)! Have a great weekend!

35 E.K. June 19, 2009 at 5:25 pm

Wow you have so many comments now! I'm going to have a great weekend, crafty stuff. Your weekend sounds like it will be very nice. That's the point right? Your weekend to do what you want?

36 tanya June 19, 2009 at 5:52 pm

That sounds like a fantastic weekend plan darling! I'm going to visit family so it actually should be fun :-) Am loving that polka-dotted bikini!

37 S.Elisabeth June 19, 2009 at 6:24 pm

40 Rachael June 19, 2009 at 7:31 pm

44 Style Porn June 19, 2009 at 10:20 pm

Valley of the Dolls is such a deliciously trashy, fast read. I still remember the summer I read it I was taking the ferry to work every day and it felt like watching porn on a crowded bus. I kept glancing up furtively hoping no one could tell I was getting all hot under the collar. You will most definitely enjoy it (if it's your first read).

This weekend I'll probably be working (ugh) and doing a bunch of other lame boring shit. Not very exciting. Hopefully I'll get to live vicariously through you.

45 The Haute-Shopper June 19, 2009 at 10:58 pm

Aww, I hope you feel better soon. But then again, I don't know how many times I've been under the weather and just felt like not doing anything. My therapy (besides shopping, but I don't really want to bankrupt myself either) usually involves sports (running, swimming or the gym) because it's a way to get any blah feelings out of my system. Beach, cocktails and Gossip Girl sounds like a great plan too though.

By the way, your blog is appearing in my dashboard etc. so from my end I haven't noticed any blogger hickups. Have a great weekend!

46 Suzanne June 20, 2009 at 8:55 am

i love gossip girl! i can really enjoy blair and chuck!

47 Underfunded Heiress June 20, 2009 at 9:00 am

Looks like you will have a great weekend! Sorry you had a rough week (don't you hate those!?!) I love that photo of the girl on the beach and the girls laughing.

For me, after a rough week, I like to squeeze in an extra yoga class or sit on the beach. Theres something about a the water that is so relaxing. Or just have a glass of wine!

48 Diana June 20, 2009 at 9:31 am

Despite all the tough ones, you totally got through it and doing some amazing stuff to get the ball rolling. I have yet to read Valley of the Dolls (don't hit me) it shall be added to my summer reading!

49 Keeley June 20, 2009 at 10:39 am

That sounds like a beautiful weekend Liz!!! I want to try those Kiwi numbers, they sound D-LISH! Gossip Girl is always a good show to watch no matter what the mood. B is ridiculously awesome! Yubbins to you my pretty!

50 Awesome Sara June 20, 2009 at 12:10 pm

I'm glad you are feeling better!!! I'm working but thats ok bc I work with the hottest peice of latino ass i have ever seen. I call him Mr. Panty- Creamer. Yum.

51 Victoria June 20, 2009 at 1:29 pm

61 Keith June 21, 2009 at 7:10 pm

I didn't have much of an exciting weekend. My aunt passed away. She was my late grandmother's sister. She was the last of the line in that family. I hope you ended up having a good weekend. Take care.

62 Allison June 21, 2009 at 10:43 pm

Omg, I can't wait to hear about your new crush/your inbox filling up…I really, really hope that more men compared you to fruit ;)
And seriously, could I lust over Blair Waldorf's wardrobe any more?! I hope that all your weekend plans came true and that you didn't indulge too much in retail therapy ;)

63 Just Playing Pretend June 21, 2009 at 11:27 pm

a crush? I love that word and the concept… even better.

64 inkOBSESSIONdesigns June 22, 2009 at 5:39 am

I hope this week is better! I definitely can't wait to hear crush stories! :)

65 Victoria-H June 22, 2009 at 8:30 am

66 Gaia June 22, 2009 at 11:46 am

hello!!!
I've been to the beach working on my ten and on what I love the 3 "S" : sea, sun and sand. I've finished my book, bought a new one ( a sad/ironic love story) ride my bike with the men of my life my Mr B., dinner with my family and then Cinema to watch "the hangover", I know it's not THE MOVIE, but it's worth it the ticket…What else? Relax relax and relax…Love your blog. Hope to see you soon "Chez moi"!
