So, I might have made a phallic cake for my brother and Janice’s birthday. 
I might have surprised them just to get this reaction. 
Pretty sure they were speechless. 
They might have giggled a lot. 
They posed like good kids with the cake. 
Then they got to open their birthday presents!
Love Janice’s face in this one…
Happy birthday you too!
And remember, just because it is phallic does not mean it is not phancy. (That was homemade cake and icing from scratch!)

August was a super fun month. One of the events was Stephanie’s Bachelorette Party.
See the neat invite I created for the event!?!
Funny, we actually changed EVERYTHING the week before. So none of this is correct! ha. Not even the time.
We had a great group of girls together for Stephanie!
We used the Penthouse at Le Foret. It was amazing.
The first event was a wine tasting for 10 of the ladies.
We played a few games, ate some delicious food and celebrated Stephanie!
Congrats Stephanie! It was great celebrating with you!
We had a blast!
I promise to not post the videos from this evening.

On the morning of August 8, my lovely, sassy husband woke up, put on his red dress…
and ran from our house to the Red Dress Run. 
Yes, the RDR is in the French Quarter. 
Yes, that is many miles away. Yes, he is a beast.
Evidently, he got a few honks on River Road and some cat calls on St. Charles.
Doug ran the RDR. Sarah and I dressed up in red dresses and went to pick him up. 
We got there to a sea of red. 
Hundreds of runners all in red. It is quite a sight to see.
After the run, we decided to have a beverage. We tried Arnaud’s but it was closed. Then we tried GW Fins, but they were closed. Then Sarah thought of the Frozevelts at the Roosevelt!
Off we went. Doug finally sat down and relaxed.
We got plenty of odd looks at the pool bar until about 30 fellow runners came to enjoy the pool also. 
We enjoyed the Frosevelts and some pizza from Domenica. What an awesome day.
We relaxed by the pool bar for a few hours and enjoyed the odd looks. I think we explained the RDR to about 100 tourists.
Until next year!
Love and Hugs, Lizzie
P.S. No, I let doug ride in the car home. He did not have to run home. 
Sabrina was in town for August 5 so we asked her to take a photo with us and Cinco. She is often featured with Cinco (when she is in town).
We had just gotten in from playing volleyball so we were kinda gross,
but gross or not, we MUST CELEBRATE!
Love and Hugs, Lizzie
Here the the update from July 5 to August 5.
I have still not missed tracking for one day. I owe no one $5. I am tracking, but keeping it within 26 points has been the challenge.
I was kicking some butt on fitbit!
Yeah! Number 2!!
My weight watchers numbers…
As you can see I had a little weight gain in July. Summer is really hard, but that is just an excuse, right?
At least I have to post it to shame me back into reality 
At least I can say September seems to be going a bit better.
I am going to make this happen.
Love and Hugs, Lizzie
