Friday Favorites: iPhone Camera Edition

This week flew by for me! A rarity. I would hardly remember it save for my trusty iPhone camera. Here are some moments from the week that I was able to snap on my smartphone.

World's Best Grilled Cheese Sandwhich

"You did it! World's Best Grilled Cheese Sandwhich. Way to go."

Markus had Monday off work from working late on projects the week before. When I came home for lunch on Monday he made me this incedible GC. Rudi's Multigrain gluten-free bread with some Earth Balance soy-free butter alternative, and Roma tomato between two slices of Horizon organic American cheese. Love this with a side of mashed avocado mixed with some Himalayan sea salt for dipping. Made for a great start to the week!

The Incredible Easter Basket

Charity Easter Basket = guilt-free shopping at JoAnn's and Target!

Since Markus and I do not have babies of our own and we have not one niece or nephew between us yet, we love to get our "kidd stuff" fix by adopting Christmas Angels or doing other shopping projects for children's charities. One of my favorite Dallas charities, Community Partners of Dallas, did an Easter basket drive. The baskets were then distributed to Dallas Child Protective Services case workers to pass out to children. We did a basket for a 13-18 yr old girl and it was SO fun to be able to go crazy on Easter goodies that I knew would not be sitting around my own house staring at me later. This is definitely a new tradition in our family! Like Community Partners of Dallas on Facebook to see all of the incredible baskets they collected and visit their website to learn more about their amazing programs for children!

Celebrity Sighting: John Ralphio

If anyone knows this guy please let him know I will pay him for a celeb appearance at my birthday.

I am not one to use my smartphone to take and share photos of people I do not know (Dallas is too small a town and I have too bad a memory for that). I did have to break my own rule this week when I was at a stoplight by my house and spotted THE John Ralphio chillaxing in his car next to me! I knew Markus would never believe me that I got to basically hang out with J.R. for a full 60 seconds this week.

In case you need an update on the celebrity and swagger of the John Ralphio, below are some of his greatest moments on Parks and Recreation.

One Tiny Chair - Accompanied with Mass Amounts of Pressure

A little dusty for now but hopefully in use soon.
Probably something my mother also says re: my reproductive system.

Just kidding about the pressure. But I had lunch with my godmother this week and she gave me this hand-wrought iron chair that was in her son's nursery...since, you know, I am the next lady to have a nursery in her home. So precious and perfect for a future young prince.

My ovaries hurt.

What were you up to this week?

Do you ever look back through your iPhone albums after a hectic week to try to rememeber what it is you actually did?

Wit Lit: A Blogger's Favorite Comedic Reads

Spring has sprung, this year with a vengence. I know this as last night I had my token Spring sinus headache. The usual evening accompaniments of TV and talk radio are not invited over. The only friends I want to hang out with is a hot shower and a good book. Not so much the darker, dystopian books I've been reading lately thanks to Suzanne Collins and her crazy kid-murdering trilogy, but more from my absolute favorite section of the book store: Comedy and Humor.

My two favorite kinds of comedy books are memoirs by comedians and comedic short story collections. Below are my personal picks from both groupings!

Funny Books by Famous Funnies

These comedians turned authors chose a career at making people laugh and lived to tell about it. I love reading their perspective on finding the funny in real life, the ups and downs of putting yourself out there to the world and how they managed to give up "normal life" for fame but still turned out as decent humans.

Bossypants, Tina Fey

Cannot recommend this book more to any woman who will eventually become a working mom or a manager to others in her industry. It's a book for funny women but it's also a funny book for all women, if that makes sense. Tina helps me own my inner neurotic geek and helps me imagine a world where it will even come to benefit me one day. I love the last part of the book where she has two big professional events at the exact time of a big personal life event and she has to make it all work. Story of my life at most times! I also love how she discusses the benefit of her improv training in multiple areas of her personal life. I took a lot of improv growing up and professional actress I am not, but I feel as though of all the activities I did growing up, improv has served me the best as a quasi-adult.

Born Standing Up, Steve Martin

The words "Steve Martin" make my heart glow. America's jolly Renaissance Man. I've read all of his fiction works, which I think are phenomenal, and was very excited for his personal memoir, which does not disappoint. One of the few during the height of Second City to make it really big through his stand up, and his hardwork is so endearing in this book. I love a man who loves making people laugh, playing the banjo and his mom. If you are in Dallas and adore Steve Martin as much as I do, I hope you will join Markus and I at the Bishop's Gala for Catholic Charities next January, where Steve will be performing. Mark your calendars!

Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Converns), Mindy Kailing

I love Mindy Kailing SO much for proving that young women can be modest, smart and career driven while also being allowed to be highly concerned with pop culture and maintaining best friend relationships and healthy weights. (Mindy suggests never being twice the weight of your best friend, for starter's. I concur.) I am never the person to tell people that they "have to" read a book, but I did pull the bestie card and made my best friend read this gem. Is it the Bible of the quirky twenty-something.

The Amorous Busboy of Decatur Avenue, Robert Klein

A great read about the Brooklyn that spawned all of the great Jewish comics such as  Larry David, Robert Klein, Richard Lewis and the Stiller family. Also some great insight into the early days of the Second City. One of my favorite nights of my young adult life was seeing Robert Klein at the Improv and having him sign my book, after he realized that he could not stop his leg, natch.



Markus and I with Robert Klein in 2009.

Quick Wit: My Favorite Comedic Short Story Writers

I love to keep a paperback of short stories in my pool bag that is strictly my poolside read during the summer. Short Stories are the perfect choice since you can put it down for a while and not feel guilty. These authors are my personal favorites!

I Was Told There'd Be Cake, Sloane Crosley

She hits on all the highs and lows of a modern 20-something (let's face it - mostly lows). Essays on insane jobs and bosses, obligatory bridesmaid careers, moving day horror stories. A travelling book between my girlfriends!

Me Talk Pretty One Day, David Sedaris

Duhhh. These are the best. Two things: if you are reading this in public prepare to have people stare at you while you laugh at your book. Also, if you are new to reading Mr. Sedaris, go for the earlier titles like above that talk more of his childhood and save more recent titles such as When You are Engulfed in Flames for once you've gotten to know him more, as they will be even more humorous and endearing. If you are in the Dallas area, Davis Sedaris visits the Dallas Musuem of Art about once a year for the Arts and Letters Live program!

Phew. So here's a lesson in not putting a nickel in my jukebox re: funny reads. If you are looking for more comedic book recommendations, I am linking up with the fellow bibliophile Sweet Green Tangerine where she has even more summer reading suggestions! Also, find me on GoodReads where we can share book recommendations!

Houston, TX: Black Walls, Bridal Showers and Tara Lipinski

This past weekend my mom, Markus and I loaded up her car and headed south to Houston for Sistah's bridal shower! The bluebonnets were out in full force and we had a great road trip.

My sister's fiance's family and friends actually live in Sugarland, outside of Houston. I didn't know anything about Sugarland really, besides that my favorite Olympic figure skater lived there as a child. I asked Sistah if she thought we would see her out and about over the weekend but we decided it might be best to take matters into our own hands via Twitter.



She was a no-show but we appreciated her repsonse.

The shower was amazing. Everything the hostesses made or brought in was gluten-free especially for my sister. The dessert table was out of control. Gluten-free cupcakes from Sprinkles (hence the G label), ginormous chocolate covered strawberries and the MOST amazing macrons I have ever had from a bakery in Sugarland called The Sweet Boutique. If you are ever in the Sugarland area please get thee to this bakery.





After the shower we had a great dinner out as an extended family and got some Ben & Jerry's in the Southlake Town Square. It was so nice to spend some time with my sister's future in-laws, who are exceptionally nice people.

I am a travel nerd and I love making a historical/artsy pit stop on travels. The Rothko Chapel has been at the back of my mind for a few years for if I ever found myself in Houston. It was the world's first non-denominational ecumenical center and was designed with the influence of Mark Rothko and features his works specifically made for the building inside. It is also on Texas Monthly's Texas Bucket List, which I am for some reason still oddly obsessed with one day completing.



When I mentioned that we were going to try to pass by the chapel on the way out of town, some members of our weekend group tried to curb my expectations and explained to me that it was really nothing to see but a room of black walls. They, of course, are totally right. But I am also the weirdo who traveled 9 hours from home to see the aluminum boxes. I like flying my freak flag re: conceptual art and, as I expected, Markus and I loved the few moments where we got to stare at the black walls.

Photos are not allowed inside the space, but this is the interior for reference:

Stark architecture with black walls: just how my werido art taste likes it.

Markus and I loved the little lending library of all types of religious and meditational books outside the chapel. Weekends at the Rothko are full of weddings, memorials and foot traffic but if I lived in Houston I could see myself taking a weekday afternoon here for some meditation.

Besides Markus, my mom is definitely one of my art buddies so I was glad she was with us for our cultural road trip bathroom break. We took a little pic by the pond outside of the chapel.

A fun weekend in Houston and I am so glad to be back at home for another great week!

How was your weekend?

Do you like to sneak in a little activity when you're traveling to see friends and family?

Friday Favorites: God Save the Blog

Save for a few decidedly Texan tornadoes, the cold/rainy weather this week has been downright British. This outside ambience combined with Duchess Kate's recent "Girl's Run the World" charity outings have made me into an even bigger Anglophile lately. All of my favorites this week are borrowed from the Brits!

Shopping in a Moerfelden market in my Hunters Dec. 2008.

Lady N Hunter Boots

You know the weather is dreadful when you are rocking the Lady N's at work more than once in a week. I got these boots as an early Christmas gift from my parents in 2008 before I took off to spend the Holiday in Germany with Markus' family. Later that year I found myself falling for a British brunette who was dating Prince William - and she was wearing my Hunter boots! Kate's seemed to move on in the boot world but I still can't get enough.

Fish and Chips

I've made Alexia sweet potato fries (I get a huge bag from Costco every few weeks) and some gluten-free fish filets (freezer section at Whole Foods) for lunch with fruit or a side salad at home for a midday meal almost every day this week. The high point of pub food has made for a delicious lunch break!

...let's get in the trust tree for just one moment and discuss the side salads - sometimes they make an appearnace, sometimes they do not. You do what you can, my friends.

Sporty Chic

I love Kate's transitional look for this Olympics event earlier this week. I have a double-breasted naxy blazer that used to be my mom's (also a TKM - Total Kate Move) that I definitely need to pair with my red jeans! When I got married I had American Apparel track jackets monogrammed for each of my friends (I didn't have bridesmaids, just my sister as a MOH). My jacket is white with a navy monogram and would look spot on with some red or coral denim. Kate = major style your closet inspiration.

P.S. Sorry US, but I am cheering for GB in the Olympic games. Stella McCartney kits? Yes, thank you.

The Great Muppet Caper

It puts up its dukes against Mary Poppins and comes out the winner of "Best Movie Set in London of All Time." Markus had never seen this movie before we met and now he knows every word, as one of my favorite things to do on the weekend is eat pancakes and sing along to this cinematic treasure. I'm so happy its pay day so I can purchase it's new neighbor in the DVD drawer. I leave you with video of Fozzie's inspirational speech in case you are looking for the extra oomph to close out your work week.

I expressed on Twitter that I am kind of in a tiff with our forefathers this week. What's so bad about Britian? All this tea party business seemed to null our chances at pulling of fascinators and having a Harrod's stateside.

Paper Culture and Oh How Pinteresting: Baptism Party Prep

Easter has always been a special event in my family. We make a big, casual lunch and do an egg hunt with many of our family friends in the backyard. As us kiddos grew up we learned that our parents didn't really want to stop hiding eggs for us, and we were happy continute looking for them if they were willing to up the egg ante when it came to contents. Now we hunt for cash, candy and gift cards and the chase is on just as much as it was when we were little.

This year's Easter weekend is even more special to me. I was raised Catholic and Markus was raised non-denominational Christian. When we first started dating we talked about religion and family and we were lucky to both come from the same place that being church-going was important to both of us, and the details of that (as in what kind of church/religion that would be) was something we were each willing to explore. I loved a non-denominational church in Lubbock but had trouble finding one in Dallas that I connected with. In the meantime, Markus visited my Catholic church with me and felt really welcomed by our community. He began the Catholic adult baptism classes in August and has been very dedicated to exploring this religion. I am so proud of him that he is being baptised this Easter. What makes me the most happy is how independently he made this commitment. His happiness with his choice comes through in his actions and desires to attend church lately and it has made me very re-energized about my own church going, which for a little while now has been..well, .lackluster.

I consider myslf very fortunate to be able to be a witness to this milestone in Markus' life and wanted to send an annoucement to our close friends and family. I'm not sure what I was expecting to find in the "Adult Baptism Announcement" market but I was pretty shocked at how thin of a pool I was swimming in. I was very lucky to discover Paper Culture, a custom stationary and card site with a (listen for my squeals of delight) eco-conscious business model!

I loved so many of Paper Culture's custom baptism announcement choices, many in non-pastel tones appropriate for adult ceremonies (or sophisticated babies). Their graphic desginers worked with me personally on a level that far exceeds other custom card sites that I have shopped with before. Paper Culture plants a tree for every order purchased and all cards are made from 100% post-consumer recycled paper using windpower.

Markus and our guests loved the final product! A teaser of the final announcement is below.

We are having friends and family over after the ceremony to celebrate and get together. I've found some great inspiration on Pinterest to give our evening some special Easter touches!

I found these searching for "Easter" in the search box on Pinterest:

I also did a Pinterest search for "Easter Printables" and "Scripture Printables" to add something to the food table:

#WisteriaWatch

We've spent a good bulk of the day here in Dallas under #tornadowatch, which, when you work in the disaster response non-profit business like myself, means quite the busy day. Thankfully a weekend respite in my beautiful neighborhood readied me for whatever this week brings as far as weather goes. 

Of all the things that make me swoon about Spring, Wisteria is my personal kryptonite. Our family home in Kentucky had a backyard deck with a wraparound trellis that dripped Wisteria for most of the spring and early summer. My mom had a Tiffany stained glass Wisteria reproduction in our family room that mesmerized me. So there is the nostalgic aspect. I identify personally with the plant: it's wild, most true gardeners hate it for being impossible to tame, you give it an inch it takes a mile (sounds similar to if Markus was to file a missing person's on his wife...). And, the smell. During Wisteria season is takes twice a long to go anywhere on our weekend bike rides for all the time that I have to set up shop under Wisteria blossoms for slow, sensory inhalations.

First sightings of Wisteria in the neighborhood lead to 1. audible gasps of delight and marvel followed by 2. intense iPhone camera sessions. Some of my favorite subjects from this past week's #wisteriawatch follow. 

Off of Walnut Hill between Midway and Lenel.

Preston and University.

Entrance to the sculpture garden at the Dallas Museum of Art.

Inwood Rd. between Lovers and Northwest Hwy.

This Sunday it was time to go grocery shopping and I also longed to break out the bikes. We rode up to the neighborhood Whole Foods and were full-blown Wisteria watchers along the way.

A beautiful bunch of wild Wisteria on Rosser!

Spring is here, and Wisteria throws quite the coming out party. Follow me on Twitter for more musings and #wisteriawatch photography through summer!

Dallas Mini-Dating: Dallas Arts District Block Party

As lovely as the extra sun hours are, the first week after Daylight Savings Time is a little bit of a punch to the face in our house. We cherish each precious hour of sleep over here so losing just one is a pretty rough hit. We fought through it and while we had no intention of burning the midnight hours on Friday, Markus called me at lunch and asked if I was free to go on a date that night. A full date seemed a little daunting but a mini-date? That was something I could handle.

Once a month the museums in the Dallas Arts District stay open late and have programs for families. The Dallas Arts District will often turn the whole area into a block party and it's just as fun as taking a trip inside one of the museums. Plus Little Child gets to come along when we keep it outside!

We got in the car right after work and headed down to the District for an early dinner and walkabout. 

The food trucks were out in their delectable glory.

 

Markus got us dinner from one of my favorite Dallas trucks, Green House! Lots of vegetarian and responsibly-sourced food choices. 

We settled in at a bistro table in from of the Nasher Sculpture Center for our alfresco dinner date. I had the wild Atlantic salmon bowl. Not your average food truck food...

 

The Crow Collection of Asian Art, which is always free, did a great job of bringing their programs to the street so families with strollers and people walking by could easily jump in on the fun. 

Their calligraphy team taught me how to write a word in calligraphy in honor of our special guest.

The Crow Collection also had this incredible drumming group. Everyone roaming the block would fall completely silent as they played. They were so impressive and it looked like pretty amazing cardio, I'm not going to lie. 

 

It is always fun to have a souvenir to help remember a fabulous date night. We climbed into the free photo booth that was out in the middle of the block and now have some great photo memories for our refrigerator or office cubes! 

The best part? After dinner and all of our activities we were out less than $20 and home before 8pm. A huge mini-date success! 

Are you a marathon dater or a mini-dater?

Bridal Blog Sale?

My wedding dress and I have kind of a special history.

I have always loved fashion but when it comes to actually dressing myself , I have really simple taste. Give me a stack of J.Crew perfect tees, a smattering of denim, some flats and a vanity full of accessories and we're golden.

I was hoping to keep my simple streak going with wedding dress shopping and at first was going the route of my beloved J.Crew catalog, until I went online to purchase one morning and my dress was sold out! My mom and I went to a small bridal boutique off McKinney called Blush Bridal Couture and when I tried on my second dress she said, "That's the one!" I got excited and went back into the fitting room to change into the next option, until I realized that was futile since my mom was already paying for "the one" at the front and discussing our next steps to having it made for me. Sometimes when you are in wedding planning mode you need someone to throw down the final decision for you before you get bogged in choices. I feel like I was too busy at the time to really look for a wedding dress so my wedding dress found me. By way of my, um... take charge mother. :o)

Lately I've been thinking about my dress and how it's living in a closet. My mom kept her dress and my sister and I have both tried it on but we didn't wear it and it looks the same as it was in her photos. Her stories of shopping for it and putting it on for her wedding are more important to me than the dress itself. This is a very nostalgic way of saying I've been thinking of selling my wedding dress.

Instead of just dropping it off at a consignment store and hoping for the best I thought I would extend the offer to my blog friends first in case you are looking or know someone who is looking for a custom made wedding dress in size 4/6.

It is the Augusta Jones Lois dress.

I purchased it in 2009 and it was custom made for my measurements.

There are sea pearls on some of the lace blooms but I had the iridescent sequins left off.



Photos from the Augusta Jones website.

A good shot of the train length.



My bridal portrait in front of again&again by Kate Mefford photography.



A shot my friend took of the back of my dress at the reception.
The bustle was hand sewn in by my best friend and has been removed.



At the end of the day this dress was good to me, finding me when I was too busy to find it. I would love for it to find another sassy bride instead of being tucked away in my closet for the off-chance my daughters want to look at it in between reciting Shakespearian sonnets and leading the Greenpeace chapters at their high school. (No pressure, future daughters.)

I paid around $2,500 for the dress and have worn it twice. Since then it has been cleaned and treated. I am asking for $1,000 OBO. If you are interested please email me at LillyCNeu@gmail.com and I can provide detailed measurements and we can discuss payment processes. And a happy weekend you all you window shoppers!

What do you think about the wedding dress consignment decision? Do you keep a major purchase like this or help someone else out while making a little money back?

Taking the Evening Off: Tu Lus Gluten-Free Bakery

The Ides of March are upon us, which to me means that I should be halfway to finisihing the goals that I set for myself this month. Yoga has been a blast. I love American Power Yoga's new studio and I feel toned and healthy to boot. The only downside of my yoginess this month is that I also had the goal for more me time/downtime, which is hard to come by when you're running down to the yoga studio five nights a week. I was all dressed in my gear yesterday but my mind could not make it to class. I pulled a "me time" card instead. Not to waste the night, I decided since I was in the niehgborhood I should try our newest gluten-free gem in town, Tu Lu's Bakery on Sherry Ln.

I love an all gluten-free bakery. About 90% of the time that a gluten-free person is out in the public food world, he or she is looking at a wide selection of incredible looking foods and then taking probably 5% of that selection that will not be completely rejected by his or her body and then convincing his or herself that those offerings are the most delicious and desirable options to begin with. It honestly screws with my head to go anywhere, most especially a bakery, and know that if I wanted to I could say "one of everything," and I would not be up all night sweating out my gluteny remorse a la Christian Bale in The Fighter.



Adorable decor and trusting owls reside in the gluten-free safe haven.



It was so hard to pick an early evening treat from Tu Lu's. The cupcakes looked incredible...



I've heard that the chocolate chip cookies are a specialty so I took one of those. Markus took an egg-free, dairy-free agave sweetened brownie, since his preferred food group is anything that has to be expained with at least three dietary adjectives before it. I knew I wanted a sweet but something kept catching my eye so I knew it needed to get added to our box - the cheddar japapeno corn muffin. I just had a feeling about this one.



The chocolate chip cookie tasted like an impeccably fresh bakery cookie with the perfect ratio of cookie and chocolate. A great treat for many, but to anyone who has had to avoid pastry cases like the plague for the past years and eaten most of their baked goods from a box that came from a "gluten-free facility," this is a life-altering event. I just sat there and waited for the stomach ache to kick in because surely there was no way that this was a gluten-free cookie. I've been sitting in front of my laptop mulling over this paragraph to try to explain how much this was the high point of my day but I am totally at a loss for words over a 4" in diameter carbohydrate so let's just move forward...

Jalapeno Cheddar Corn Muffin was also incredible. I no longer yearn when I see the bread basket at a restaurant because I've tried dipping my toe back in the water enough times to know that to sample is to be in pain. The hardest carb to quit, though, has been the cheddar jalapeno bread from Celebration Restaurant in Dallas. This muffin at Tu Lu's is a very moist and savory replacement. Each bite just kind of turns into this ball of southern delight in your mouth. I miss this muffin quite a bit as I write this post. The only thing I would add to it is a little real corn a la the Celebration biscuits. But we are lucky enough to have this bakery in Dallas now after a long while of being only open in New York, so I'm not going to pull a classic Texas girl move and start telling the new Yankee neighbors how they can improve their cornbread. I am just utterly delighted and grateful for their new presence in the neighborhood.

This was just the perfect break my mind needed to get back to the grindstone and finish out the week. That and a evening song from Markus to remind us that while goals are important, keeping it simple always leads to success.

Bring on the Bachelorette Party

This weekend some of our family friends and a few of my sister's bridesmaids threw her and the fiance a couples shower at The Quarter Bar in Dallas. There were signature drinks, lots of loot for the couple and plenty of good times catching up with friends and getting excited for the next two months until the big day for little sister!

The happy and gorgeous married couple to-be.

Sistah and brother-in-law of the bride.
Love a shower that you can wear jeans to!

The shower reminded me of all the wonderful people baby sis has in her life...and also that it is time to kick my bachelorette planning into high gear! I ordered these invitations from The Party Dress a while back and dropped them in the mail to about twenty lucky ladies yesterday. I thought going a little Missoni was a fun alternative to black and pink for our preppy lake weekend. And we know that the bride-to-be loves her burnt orange!

I was thrilled with the finished product when they arrived in the mail and knew they would be even more perfect with one added touch. Grown-up sister is adorable all on her own, but to see a baby photo of my sister it to be hit head on with cutesiness. I remembered that you can make custom postage stamps from your photos at Stamps.com and scanned one of my favorite baby photos of sweet Sistah and had them made into our invite postage.

It was so hard for me to put these invitations out in the mail because I did not want to stop making googly eyes at this adorable little face!



Do you love adding special touches to your snail mail like I do?

Any fun events coming up on the horizon in your life?
