Since our first hang out was a smashing success, Jenn and I have been trying to hanging out again for like the past three weeks. The thing is, I fail at life and manage to get sick all the time or something, so Minnie’s has been on the back burner for awhile. Finally, this past Saturday, we finally got to go. Angela tagged along too, so I invited my friend, Monica.

Mini food, mini drinks, not so mini desserts - it was a fun night. The cuteness had to be documented, so pictures?

my fabulous partner in crime, Jenn, with her mini martini

me, cheesin’ obviously. check out my cute mini food!

the lovely Monica

last, but most definitely not least, Angela enjoying her ridiculously good banana ice cream

It is decidedly obvious that mini stuff is always better. Plus, you have room for dessert!

I have another fabulous, new design by the lovely Jess of Delicious Design Studio (formerly Cuppycake Designs). I’m very much in love with it! Her new site almost up and running, but for now this button will direct you to Cuppycake. I’d be totally lost without Jess, I’d have to no one to go along with my blog design ADD! Go check her designs out!

So yes, there are now ads here on Oh! How Lovely! Not that I really have to explain myself, but they are part of the Get Jamie’s Ass to BlogHer Fund. Love them or hate them, they are there to stay for now. I really doubt I will make much, but hey, every little bit helps!

Also, I didn’t want to put my whole blog roll in my sidebar so if you aren’t there, mosey on up to Links. You are probably there. If you aren’t, let me know and I’ll add you! It’s hard keeping up sometimes.

Even though Jenn beat me to it, here is some tranny from Transylvania fierceness! I’m not even apologizing for it. Check it out. Seriously.

I have the most ridiculous craving for pasta right now. I’m thinking I want to go to Leona’s some time this weekend. They have the best chicken noodle soup ever too! Seriously, ever. Figures I would want the most carby meal in the world but whatever. I want pasta!

My birthday is coming up at the end of the month. I’m turning 24, but I keep telling my boyfriend it is my 21st birthday. I am obviously in denial about getting older. 24 seems like a sucky age. I don’t want to get older. Peter Pan Syndrome. For serious.

This weekend I have to go buy Edie some new chew toys. She’s so ADD, that nothing holds her attention for more than 30 seconds. She needs more variety obviously, even though her current favorite toys are the cap from a laundry detergent bottle, a sock tied in a knot and the shoe lace on my workout shoes. That’s my puppy. I’m haven’t put any pictures of her up in a few days, so I think some adorable Corgi love is necessary for this Friday.

I have this night table that she likes to crawl under and scrounge around for anything in the world that is small and can fit in her mouth. I swear she manages to summon things out of thin air for her to eat, I don’t care how many times I sweep or vacuum. Anyway, I took the drawers from this plastic set of drawers I have out to block off the bottom of the night table so she won’t go under it. So what does my pup do? Finds a new place to nap. Obviously, I need to dust so um, yeah…just ignore that.

Of course there is video. Youtube. More pictures, too.

There is a real entry below this, I just had to post the cuteness!
