A uh.. Unique Date Idea

February 1, 2012 8 Comments

I may have mentioned before but for those new to Truly Lovely, the hubs and I attended the same university.

Go AGGIES! {NMSU, specifically.}

In college we played a lot of a game that we’ll just call um… water pong. haha.

Also known as beer pong to some… but any who….

It was kind of our thing. We even had a HUGE piece of plywood that we spray painted black, then invited all of our friends to sign using those paint marker things.

It served as our pong playing table top.

It was awesome!

While doing our Christmas shopping this year we discovered that Wal-Mart carries a Sports Pong set.

Yep, you can now buy your plastic cups and ping pong balls in a nicely boxed set for less than $10!

Who knew?!

I thought it would be fun to get a set for the hubs’ birthday and surprise him with a college flashback style date night!

It’s been windy here lately and everyone knows you can’t play water pong in the wind!

So I set up a pong court, as it were, inside! Complete with plastic drop cloths to save my carpet if any water were to spill… which can happen.

The note in the middle reads, “Consider this a challenge! See you tonight!”

The sports pong set comes with 12 games, which makes for lots of fun, friendly hubs and wife competition. ;) Don’t worry, if you can’t find a Sports Pong set, a package of those good ol’ Red Solo cups (Toby Keith, anyone?!) and a set of ping pong balls is EXACTLY the same thing.

The point of the game, in case you’re unversed in the art of water pong, is to stand at one end of the table, and take turns tossing your ping pong balls into the other person’s (half water filled) cups, essentially knocking out all of their cups before they get yours!

SO if you’re looking for a fun date night idea this Valentine’s Day…

Or any night really…

Maybe a friendly game of water pong would be just the thing.

In this date night version winner gets a back rub.

Or if water pong isn’t your thing, the point is to think of something your love used to really enjoy and bring it back for date night!

Have fun lovelies!

Linking this here and here and to these.

By the way… Did you know you can find Truly Lovely here…

* Facebook * Twitter * Google+ *

AND Kayli will be ANNOUNCING something SUPER fun here in a few hours!

Hope to see you back later for that!

Why We Want AND Need A Blog Makeover

January 6, 2011 5 Comments

So… Over at FTLOB, of which we are a proud member!! –>

See our proud member button in our sidebar…

They are hosting a Blog Makeover Giveaway!

Awesome right?!?

One of the entry options is to write a post on why you want or need a blog makeover from Scenic Glory (the designer of the giveaway makeover).

Well… we WANT AND NEED a blog makeover! And we think Lindsay at Scenic Glory is just the girl for the job!

You see, she designed Bethani’s blog at When a Girl Met a Boy, who also happens to be Kassi’s new pen pal, more on that later…

And we LOVE it!!

Cute, right?!

So why do we WANT a blog makeover?

We love the look of Scenic Glory designs and want a blog that looks as cute as the ones she’s done for others!
We want to make our OWN stamp on blogland, and what better way than to do it with our own blog design!

Why do we NEED a blog makeover?

The more professional looking the blog, the more serious people are likely to take the content and we WANT to be taken seriously.
Because we’re using a free blog design and a makeover would seriously improve our look!

So here’s to hoping random.org chooses Truly Lovely!!!

Anyone out there willing to redesign us for FREE or at least on the cheap if we don’t get chosen??

We would offer you a FREE sponsor spot!
