Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday
It was raining when I got off work this morning so I stopped by Kroger and got Starbucks!  I had to get a few groceries anyways and a white chocolate mocha sounded amazing and it was!!  I slept on the couch for a few hours and then went to the gym and ran some other errands.  I talked to Niki that afternoon and went down to her house to have a few drinks and hang out.  We ended up watching a movie, I think it was called "She's Out of Your League"??  It was cute and I only slept through the first 30 minutes or so.  I can barely ever make it through an entire movie, it's like my body realizes I'm watching a movie and it falls asleep! 
Saturday
I had set my alarm so I wouldn't sleep the day away but I turned it off.  I still got up at a decent time and cleaned my bathroom and did my dishes and cleaned the kitchen.  Then I went to the gym (keeping up with one of my August goals...YAY ME!!)  Once I got home, I sat on the couch and put in a movie that I had gotten in the mail.  I watched Gullivers Travels first and it was pretty funny.  Then I watched The King's Speech and fell asleep during it but watched most of it and liked it.  I wanted to do something that night but didn't make any plans so I was a lazy bum and spent the night watching One Tree Hill.  I know, I'm never gonna get married watching TV by myself on a Saturday night!  HA!
Sunday
Got up, drank my coffee, did some laundry, made some lunch then layed down for a little bit so I could work all night.

I'm kinda ready for fall...

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday
I didn't do much of anything all day and then worked that night.
Saturday

I slept in that morning then went to the gym and then got a few groceries.  I had plans to meet Runge to get some sushi because we have been trying to have a sushi date for weeks now but we ended up not getting it.  Niki called because they were going out to eat with some other friends of ours so we decided to go with them instead....and since it was one of the couples wedding anniversary they got to pick where to eat.  They picked Chili's although most of us were hoping for sushi!!  HA!!  We had a really fun night, plenty of laughs!!  We might have even started trying to plan our Halloween costumes for the big halloween party!!

 Sunday

After a pretty late night I got up early to drive home for a birthday party for my stepdad and my sister. My mom was making lasagna and 2 kinds of dessert!! I hadn't been home since Memorial day weekend so my sisters and I had LOTS to talk about even though we talk on the phone, it's different when you're actually talking face to face. We also had a funeral to go to that afternoon but I wanted some pictures taken of me and my sisters before so we went outside and mom took some. I was NOT thrilled with how I look in these pictures so I will only be posting 1.  I took a nice long nap after we went to the visitation and then hung out with my nieces until we had to take them home.  We went by this yogurt place called Sweet CeCe's and it was very yummy!  I had a picture of it but posting pictures right now is giving me lots of problems!  At least I've finally found a place to resize them easily!

Bad picture I know...just imagine what the other ones look like! 

Ty's eyes were squinty in almost all of the pictures! 

Love them!!

Resizing pictures....HELP!!

I'm having a hard time finding a website to resize pictures and then upload them to blogger EASILY!!  I don't want to have to go thru a million steps to get them back on blogger.  Please help me if you have figured out an easy way.  I tried Flickr and it was easy but once I got them in a post they were teeny tiny and it wouldn't let me make them bigger.  I tried tinypic as well but didn't like it at all!!  I'm gonna keep looking on google for help and see how far that gets me!

iPhone Picture Dump

I just realized I'd never downloaded my iPhone pictures to my computer, hence the picture dump!  There are a ton more but not all were needing to be documented on the ol' blog!  ENJOY!

Wedding hair for Lindsay's big day!

Extensions! 

Sushi!!  Hopefully be eating this Friday! 

Dawson wanted me to take this picture.....check out his face!  I'm thinking he was a little scared! 

A friend of mine is wanting a jeep so I sent him this picture one day after work, it was parked right next to me!  Pretty nice if you ask me!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday
I spent the day cleaning my house since I had to work the next several days.  It rained quite a bit today too which was actually nice because it's been so hot!!  I had plans to hang out with Andi, Laryssa and Tenley later that day.  They came and picked me up around 5 and we went to get something to eat at Bennie's then went back to Andi's house to hang out for a little bit.  Laryssa brought me home on her way home and I really wanted to go out but nobody was doing anything!  All well, maybe next weekend.

Saturday
I slept off and on all day because I had to go to work that night. 

Sunday
Came home and went to sleep but didn't sleep very well.  I got up way to early and will probably be paying for it tonight when I have to work all night.  Hopefully I will sleep better tomorrow since I have to work tomorrow night too!  My schedule this week is all messed up so I'm just hoping to be able to sleep well and get through the week!

(I'm getting tired of boring weekend posts....)

Next......iPhone picture dump!!

Remember these guys.....

Well today I met my BFF's mom (my Mom away from home) and her boys at the movie theater to see the new Smurfs movie and let me just tell you how CUTE it was!!!  Also, Neil Patrick Harris (Doogie Howser) and Jayma Mays (Glee) are great!!  I was a huge Doogie Howser fan and love Glee so I was so excited to see that they were both in this movie.  I remember watching Smurfs as a kid but couldn't remember much about it but as soon as the movie started it came back.  It had some very funny parts, one really disgusting part and some cutesy, lovey parts!!  Pretty much my favorite kind of movie, minus the disgusting part!!  I recommend it to everybody!!  OH....and I could not get over how packed the theater was!!  I guess since it's so hot outside and the fact that it was $5 Tuesday and free popcorn everybody wanted to come.  People were even sitting on the floor in the back of the theater because there weren't anymore seats, I didn't think they could sell anymore tickets than there are seats!!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday
Love Friday's, even though I had to work that night.  Got up and get ready then Niki and I went to do some shopping and got sushi for lunch.  After a little more shopping she dropped me off at home and I tried to get some sleep before I had to go in to work.

Saturday
Came home and went straight to bed!!  My plan was to sleep till 5 but unfortunately a storm came through and woke me up a little earlier than planned.  All well!  I watched some TV and caught up on facebook then got ready for another night at work.

Sunday
Came home and went to sleep for a few hours, went to the gym, went to Target and now back home ready to watch the Bachelorette-Men Tell All!!!

(Kinda sad when my weekend posts are so short :(  Gotta work though!)

Venture River

Today Niki & the boys, Joni and myself went to Eddyville, KY to go to Venture River.  First we stopped at IHOP in Paducah for breakfast and it was oh so good!!  After we stuffed ourselves silly we were off the Venture River.  Unfortunately, we were not impressed.  It was nice that it was much closer and a little cheaper than Holiday World but we all decided that next year we will definitely be going back to Holiday World for 2 days again!!  HA!!  We all got pretty roasted.  I look like a lobster!  I took a few pictures half way through the day.

My buddy Dawson and I (pretty hair huh??  This was after a waterslide or 2) 

Mama Joni and Lucas 

Niki, Dawson & Lucas, who didn't want his picture taken 

So I threatened him and got this!  HAHA!!  (I didn't really threaten him)



We had a good time and decided to leave around 4 so we could go eat dinner at Olive Garden in Paducah.  We were all looking a hot mess but we didn't care, we wanted salad and breadsticks and anything else that was not healthy for us!!  Definitely back to the working out, eating better train tomorrow!!

Weekend Wrap-Up

I know it's Tuesday but I had a busy weekend and then worked the past 2 nights.  Better late than never!!
Friday
I slept in a little later than I was planning so when I got up I was in a hurry to get everything together so I could take my stuff to my friend Niki's for the garage sale tomorrow.  We got all that situated then headed to her MIL's pool to get some sun and try to stay cool.  The pool was so warm!!  We put the hose in it and pretty much just stayed right there where the cold water was.  We hung out at her house that night and did a few "pre-sales".  I headed home so I could go to bed at a decent time so I could get up early the next morning for the garage sale!!

Saturday
I was up super early to get ready for the garage sale.  I went to a new place called "Southern Maide" to get donuts for everybody then headed down.  We had a steady stream of people all day and made decent money.  I made the most I've ever made before!!  I was exhausted so after we got everything packed up I fell asleep for a little bit then ate pizza with Niki and the boys.  Some other friends were going out tonight so I headed home to get ready and met them later that night.  We had a good time!!  They decided to go to another bar so I left and met up with some other friends.

Sunday
Slept in that morning, went and got some lunch then came home and slept more.  Before I knew it it was 5 and I had to start getting ready for work.  We had a storm blow through that afternoon and I was without power for a little bit, I was glad it came back on in time for me to get ready for work.
