A couple weeks ago, my Husband had a phone interview with Jason Derulo for the radio station he works for. If you don't know who Jason Derulo is, all you need to do is google him and you will learn more than you need to know. The short version is he is a pop-star who was also engaged to another pop-star, Jordin Sparks, who won her season of American Idol.

Minutes before the phone interview, my Husband was informed that Jason and his fiance, Jordin Sparks, broke up. He did the interview and posted it to his blog page and well...it went viral.

Him (Big D) and the radio station he works for (KDWB) were reported on various entertainment websites:

A few of my ex co-workers (and one current co-worker) decided we wanted to get together and do brunch. Mike was so nice as to offer his home.





It was great to get together and catch-up with everyone.

Today was Mother's Day. It was pretty low-key. We went to my parents house and had a nice lunch. MY Mom ended up going to my Gramdma's (her Mom's) house, so my Dad grilled for us and we just hung out for a bit. It was delish.



I also got an Up band, by Jawbone. If you've never heard of it before, go google it. Now.

I did Happy Hour at Pour Richards in Bloomington with the MN Blogger group. This was the HH that none of us took a picture at, so as a blogger says, if you didn't take a picture, it didn't happen, right. LOL.

I got my hair done today. I splurged. I went to Rocco Altobelli's downtown MPLS. In other words read: $$$. I did spend WAY too much and will find a cheaper alternative, but it was a slight emergency. I NEEDED it. My hair was SO bad. I don't know why I let it get that bad, but I do. Not only did I get it cut, but I also got high/low lights put in. This was the first time in a LONG time that A) I got my hair colored of some sort (other than a box at home) and more importantly B) was in an actual salon other than Fantastic Sams or Great Clips. Yes, that's how I roll. Cheap, cheap and more cheap.

Today was the 101.3 KDWB Star Party. All the artists this year:

Ariana Grande;
MKTO;
Hot Chelle Rae;
Olly Murs;
Cher Lloyd;
Jason Derulo;
and Nelly

I had printed off a picture for Olly to sign for Hailey from when he was here back in January in the Skyroom. Remember when she climbed up on stage with him? Yea, well he remembered her and signed it and now it's in a frame in her room.




I invited my cousin, Nicole, to come along with me and hang out.

Of course me and my ladies, Katie and Falen, were there.



I got to meet Nelly this year.



And of course, me and my love.



This year was one of the best years yet!

As mentioned in THIS post, we had our meeting with Bouari Clinic to start Wayne's weight loss endorsement for the radio station.

Thursday, May 30, 2013

Today I met up with some of my MN Blogger peeps at the new See's Candies that was opening in the Southdale Mall. Carolyn and Kelly put this event together. I brought Hailey with. I took this picture of Hailey and the group picture from Carolyn's blog. I was so busy with Hailey, that I didn't have any time to really enjoy myself, much less take pictures of anything.



We got to try anything we wanted, they told us some history about the company, we got to go behind the counter and practice packaging AND they sent us home with a bag full of goodies. It was so fun to actually meet a lot of them in person for the first time, although I didn't get to talk to them because of course Hailey had me running after her the whole time.



Oh well. There will always be more blogger meet-ups, right?

P.S. I feel like 2013 is flying by. Anyone else?

The D Family LOVES fair time. While Wayne was at the fair 11 out of the 12 days, Hailey and I went just three times.That might sound like a lot to some people, but for us it's about average. And while he works, we usually play!

This year KDWB had a new booth (Good Bye Boombox) and they also had a new location by the Grandstand.

Working hard.

We love going and visiting Daddy at the fair, cause then that means we can eat fun stuff, too. Here we are enjoying a Fudge Puppy.

Sweet Martha's Cookies are always a must have on my list at least once a year.

One of the new things this year was a red-velvet funnel cake and of course I had to try it. I didn't get a picture of it, cause honestly I think I ate it too fast. It was SO delicious! I will definitely be having that again this year.

This year one of the times we went with my family. It was a warm one, but so much fun. Here is Papa pushing Hailey in her stroller.

Hailey checking out the animals in the Miracle of Birth Barn.

Bunnies

Baby sheep

Cows

Of course, with Papa in tow, we had to check out the mini 4-wheelers.

We watched a horse show.

And loved it.

Hailey napped, while we sat and people watched. (I would have rather taken a nap.)

We walked around with Papa.

We all had lots of laughs and fun!

What a great 2012 State Fair!

I am so looking forward to 2013!
