Weekend Dump

The weekend is over.
Work week is here.
I'm not happy about this.

The 2 days in between h.e.l.l.  work always go by so quickly, don't you agree?

My weekend was rather exciting, or my Saturday was, I should say. After I got home Friday, I was lying on the couch...trying to figure out what I was going to do. Should I go see my brand new niece?  Did I want to rent Safe House with some of my favorites, Ryan Reynolds and Denzel Washington? While I was deciding, my brain decided to shut down for awhile, and the next thing I knew, I woke up about 9pm, freezing to death. Well, I guess that question was answered for me.  Since I had to be up at 4am for the Warrior Dash, I just went straight to bed. When I got my wake up call, I was well-rested, I have to admit.

I will say that waking up before the sun comes up is for the birds. Even a McDonald's coke and ham biscuit didn't put me in a chirpy mood while the sun was coming up. Ugh. However, once we finally made it to the Dash location, I was pretty excited.

Our guys were first in line for the first run that day. They were all so pumped up.

Mom and I cheering them on!

They all finished and did an amazing job. So proud of each of them.

After the long haul back home, showering the dirt off, and getting ready, I headed to BG for girls night. We hit up some Shogun, the mall for some Semi-Annual Sales, Target (of course), and TJ Maxx. Being completely broke put me in a semi-jank mood...I mean how fun is it to see all of this stuff you want to buy, but can't? Boo! Despite that, it was fun to finally be able to hang out with them again.

I slept super late Sunday, I suppose to make up for my early morning the day before. I did a few loads of laundry, then went to see the most perfect baby ever.

Raelyn- 5 days old.

I ended up napping a bit when I got home, because let's face it...that's what I do. I finished up the laundry that I had started that morning, walked a bit (torture if you ask me), and ended the night with some Real Housewives of New Jersey. I have no doubt that I could be besties with Jacqueline, Melissa, and Caroline. Love it.

Now it's Monday. I'm at work, but blogging and catching up on what all of you have been up to.  How was the weekend? Anyone else doing a Warrior Dash?

Weekend Wrap-Up

Good Monday morning, ladies! I hope each and every one of you had a fabulous weekend; I sure did! I haven't done a wrap-up in awhile, so let me catch you up...

• I ordered this super cute shirt last weekend to celebrate what we thought would  be an awesome SEC tournament won by my Cats. Since it was the first day of play for Kentucky, I sported this on Friday.

• After work, I headed to BG to get in my weekly catch up sesh with my bff, Meg.
• We had the best drinks and apps at O'Charleys.
• A little trip to Target (of course), and I left with these super hot shoes. When will I ever them? Who knows. Did I mention the fact that I rarely wear heels? Oh, who cares? They are so cute, and only $20 so I had to get them, right?

• We ran to a few more places and then back to her house so she could get back to her sweet kiddos.



Look at those chubby cheeks. Love.

• Saturday, my Mom called and said she was keeping the sweetest little boy that day, so I headed over to see him and watch the Cats play in the third round of the tourney.

• I came home later, and ended up sleeping a few hours that afternoon. Oops.
• The Cats played again Sunday morning, so my other bff came over to watch. As I'm sure you've heard, the Cats played like shiznit all three days, and they ended up losing in the final. As much as I love the Cats and was absolutely pissed that they lost, they just didn't show up in Nawlins like they should have. Grrrr.
• To drown our sorrows, Whit and I headed to BG to do a little shopping and eating.
• I wanted to hit up Kohls since I didn't on Friday. Fortunately (for my sanity) and unfortunately (for my wallet), I found some cute things to purchase.

Navy and white dress with beaded neck.

The beading is what sold me.

Striped, hooded cardi. Love this. This one is gray and white.

And this one is navy and gray. Of course I had to get both.

And since I'm going to be an aunt in June, I grab up everything I can that says something about "aunt" on them.

• Ran around town a little more until we decided to hit up the mall.
• I found these cuh-ute shoes at Payless. I had wanted them a few weeks ago, but held off. Glad I did because they were half off! Holla!



These are the prettiest smoky navy blue.

• Then I found this dress at Old Navy. I got some denim capris too, for only $12 bucks.



This is a tan and white stripe. Apparently I'm on a stripe kick today. I have a feeling I will wear this lots this summer.

• We finally deaded to get some grub at Buffalo Wild Wings. I love that place!
• As usual, we jammed out to some rap on the way home. You all have got to see my playlist. Totally not what you would expect from this girl, but we were hoppin. Maybe I'll share that tomorrow!

What did you all get into this weekend? Hopefully you didn't spend as much moolah as me....but I needed it. Really.

Weekend Haul #2

I had a great Saturday shopping with my mom and sister. It's rare that all 3 of us get to go out, just us girls, and I absolutely love it!

While I didn't buy as much this weekend, what I did buy was just what I was looking for!

I especially wanted to go to get some moisturizer that I'd heard all about! Philosophy's Hope in a Jar. I'd heard so many great things about it, and had to try it out for myself. I'm making a real effort to take better care of my skin, and I heard this was a great start! I was a little hesitant to buy it after I saw the $39 price tag, but I made the leap and got in line.

I used it last night, this morning, and tonight, and I must say that my skin is SO soft! Can it really work that fast? It does say that "...miracles can occur," so maybe one did! However...and this is a HUGE however, it stinks! I mean the smell is horrendous! I hope that I can get past the God-awful scent.

I've been trying to add more color to my living room, so I bought two more pillows to add to my couch. Love this color!

We also had to stop at Target, duh! I just had to buy another pair of the Mossimo juniors crop leggings. Y'all, these are SO comfy, and at only $8 I had to get a second pair. I slept in these every single night last week and hated changing out of them the next morning. Love them!

Did you buy anything fabulous this weekend?

Weekend Haul

After the game on Saturday, which I slept through half of, I went shopping. This was much needed, because the week before I found absolutely nothing! I always love seeing what other people get, so I thought I would share my haul, along with where I bought the item and how much it costs. I like having that information when I read, so I put it on here.

 1. I bought these nude shoes a few weeks ago, but decided today to keep them. Everyone needs a pair of nude heels, right?

2 & 3. I got these at Payless during BOGO. I've been wanting some black wedges like this, and had to get the animal print ones after I tried them on. Note: they look SO much cuter in person!

4. I've needed some new house shoes for awhile, because I'm old, and these were on clearance. Honestly, I may wear them out of the house because they look so much like moccasins.

1 & 3. On my list of things to purchase are scarves, specifically brights and patterns. I picked up the first scarf, which is more coral than the picture looks, from Target. The one from Charlotte Russe has the cutest colors and pattern.

2. The watch in the middle was on clearance, and I loved the turquoise color, but after I got it home and tried it on, I'm just not a fan. That will be returned.

1. While LC gets on my nerves a little bit, the girl does have some fashion sense. You can't deny that. I've been wanting this book for some time, and finally broke down and bought it.

2. Love this saying, so I had to get it to go with my new book.

3. I've been wanting a desk calendar, but wanted to wait until they go on clearance, cause they always do. I've read about The Happiness Project, and anything that reminds me to stay positive and be happy is a plus! AND it was 75% off. Score!

There were some things that I saw that I loved, but homegirl had to draw the line somewhere. Maybe next week. ;)
