Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday

It was such a gorgeous day!!  I loved having the sunroof open and the sun blazing in!!  I am so ready for warmer weather!! 

 

We had such a pretty day on Tuesday!! I was supposed to work a 4 hour shift for somebody right in the middle of the day but I ended up being on standby, I came home and sat outside and read a book then went to the complex behind my house and walked/ran for a little bit and came inside and saw tan lines!! So ready for some real sun and not the kind in a bottle! Anyway, I went to Niki's and then we did a little bit of running around. We watched Gravity later that night, I was so not impressed with that movie!

 

Saturday

I got up and did a little shopping after stopping at Starbuck's first.  It was a really pretty day again so I washed my car while I was out too.

I saw a post on Facebook from a little boutique I follow and they posted about a sale they were having and I saw this dress...unfortunately it was too small.  I looked around but didn't find anything else I was that crazy about.  Of course, when I got home, they posted another dress that was so cute but I didn't see it when I was there!

I got home and got ready to get together with some friends.  I remember St. Patrick's Day weekend always being a fun time to go out and listen to music and dance.

Laryssa & I

Andrea & I at dinner

We had drinks and appetizers and then decided to go to a local bar hoping to hear some good music and dance.  The first place we went wouldn't play anything we requested and ended up telling us we should go somewhere else if we wanted to do "the wobble"....I mean, is it to much to ask to do a little wobble?!?  So we left there and went to another bar and they had a horrible band playing!  I'm sure they weren't horrible to people who like that kind of music but all we wanted to do was dance and that was not happening!  Some other people we knew were there so we all just hung out and talked until it was time to close.  We hardly ever get to go out anymore and all we wanted to do was dance and we didn't get to at all.  We decided next time we're just gonna hang out at somebody's house, drink wine, wear yoga pants and wobble!

 

Sunday

The stupid bipolar weather we're having, I woke up to cold and raining.  It was icing by the time I got out of church and continued for a couple hours then switched to snow.  We ended up with just everything covered and it was done before it got dark.  Hopefully this is finally the last of the cold weather we're gonna have.  I need some nice weather so I can start on my new hobby....GOLF!!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday

I spent today and yesterday at a conference type meeting for work.  It was about passion for you job, workplace and coworkers.  I got a lot out of it and there were many tears shed also.  It was a great subject and I'm kind of glad they make it mandatory for all employees to go.  I would have gone no matter if it was mandatory or not!  After it was over, I headed on over to Evansville.  We had this weekend planned for prom dress shopping for a while.  Mom made a yummy supper and it was ready when I got there.  We watched Grey's Anatomy after that and an episode of American Idol and then I headed to bed.

 

Saturday

I was awake early but stayed in bed just because I could.  I got up and got ready so we could leave by 10. 

Me, Maddie & Kelsey

Kelsey tried on several dresses at each place we went.  She didn't love any of them, although there were plenty that looked super cute on her.  She was such a good sport about trying dresses on we picked out for her even if she didn't like the way they looked on the hanger.  There was only one that I remember that none of us liked on her.  After we did that, we stopped and got ice cream then went to Lindsay's house to hang out for a while.  We played with the cats and did a little JustDance and it was time to head home. 

Michelle, Maddie & I decided to go to the mall for a little bit to find some new pants for Maddie.  Michelle and I went in to Dillard's and they just happened to be having a sale...extra 40% off already reduced prices.  We both got a new pair of shoes!!  I had been wanting a pair of booties all winter and I finally found some that I liked and wouldn't cost a fortune.  I love me a bargain!!  We got back to the house and I left again for a friend from high schools going away party.

Me, Amanda, Cory, Steph, & Danielle

We all left a little bit after that.  Maddie had left her tablet in my purse so I went by their house to drop it off.  I stayed for a little bit to play with the kitties and then headed home.

 

Sunday

The bad weather had started sometime early this morning.  I got up around 7 and got my things together so I could drive home before it got any worse.  The roads in Indiana were worse than those in Illinois.  The rain/sleet stopped about halfway through my trip and when I needed my windshield wipers again they were frozen and were of no use.  I eventually made it home and this is what my car looked like....

It was so pretty and clean before this too!

It only took me about 30 minutes longer than normal to get back but I was so glad to be off the roads.  I didn't plan on going anywhere else till having to go to work on Tuesday!  I watched several episodes of the Good Wife and took a nap and not much else.  It was a lovely lazy day.

I may have even squeezed in a little online shopping!!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday

I spent they day shopping, running errands and enjoying the sunshine!!  I worked that afternoon for a few hours and it was like the flood gates opened when I got there. They said I wasn't allowed to work Friday afternoons anymore if I was going to make it that busy!!  

Saturday

How funny is this!!!  I seriously laughed out loud!!

I went to wash my car and it ended up being an all day affair because it took me two different car washes to actually get a semi clean car and then came home and got it squeaky clean!!  I love a clean car!

Pretty car wash colors!!

Love me some Sex and the City!!!  

I had a night in, by myself and watched a bunch of The Good Wife and read.  

Sunday

I got up and went to church then went to my friend Jessica's baby shower. 

All of the girls from work at her shower!!  

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday

Valentine's day....some gifts my sweet family and friends gave me!

This sweet kitty needed some lovins!!

My cute Valentine dates!!!!

Saturday

I spent most of the day watching The Good Wife.....if you're not watching it, you should be!!!  I met some friends for dinner and then we hung out and talked for the rest of the night.

Sunday

I went to church then went to get some lunch with friends and took this piece of cake home with me!!  I was disappointed in it....dry and the icing wasn't near as good as I was hoping!

I did all my normal Sunday duties and was ready to start a new week!!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday

So, it's been snow day after snow day for the kids around here.  It makes me second guess my decision to work in a hospital, that's for sure....I kid, I kid!!  It was a grocery shopping day, so I met Niki out.  She had the boys and her mom with her, we divied up the kids and I got the middle one who has always been Koko's buddy. 

 

He likes taking selfies just as much as the next person.  (As you can see, he's looking at his own iPod instead of my phone) Don't mind the fact I have no neck!

We had some lunch and then finished shopping. He and I went on back to their house and waited for the rest of them to get there.  Niki and I hung out and decided there is never anything good on tv on Friday nights.  Once her husband got home we decided to watch Hangover III.  I usually don't like stupid funny movies but .....

with Bradley Cooper in it, I think I'll watch it just in case!!

 

Saturday

I went to Dawson's basketball game since it was in my town I live in.  We went and had lunch then I came home to clean and do some laundry.  I decided to make some sangria for Niki and I to drink after the games.  My parents and nieces were visiting with my grandpa back at home and mom sent us this picture.   

Mom & Grandpa

I have been all kinds of obsessed with everything monogrammed lately.

These monogrammed pocket tees especially!!  Luckily, one of my best friends can do this for me!!  I was on pinterest for a while looking at all of these!!  I look over to the right of me and this is what I see....

Is he not the cutest darn thing??!!??

 

Sunday

I met my friend Andrea this morning at her church to try it out.  It was awesome!!  I am definitely going back.  After that, I went to get a few groceries I didn't get the other day and I came right upon these...

Just what I was looking for!!  So excited to send these off to get monogrammed!!  And then somehow, these darn things jumped right into my cart.....YUUUUUMMMMM!!!!

Don't even try these unless you are prepared to eat the whole pack!!  I've heard the cookie dough ones are just as good!!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday

Hair day!!  I love to get my hair done!  One of the other stylist's that works at the salon kept complimenting my hair about how it was so shiny and was curling so well, have I ever mentioned how great my hair stylist is??  She is the best!!  I then met my friend and her daughter for lunch.

I love how sassy she is!!

We ate at O'Charley's, I love soup and salad there!!  After there, we ran a few errands and every place was so crowded because of it being Super Bowl weekend and we were supposed to get some snow again.  She picked out that cute jacket she is wearing in the picture (that picture was taken Sunday before church) and just had to have it!!  I did a little more shopping after they went home and then headed home myself.  I got caught up on some shows and went to bed early.

 

Saturday

I was up early and decided to go to the gym.  They have my favorite class on Saturday's at 7:00 but I just can't seem to get up that early to go!  There was a spin class at 9:00 so I went to that and it was packed!!  I guess everybody and still trying to hold on to the resolutions they made!!  I came home and made the mistake to start watching "The Good Wife" and I loved it!!  I watched it pretty much all day, besides taking a short nap!!

 

Sunday

I got up and went to the gym again!!  Yay me!!  I was going to my best friends house to watch the Super Bowl, so I went to the store to get a few things that we were wanting for junk food.  Her husbands only request was sausage and cheese wontons and I had to go to 2 different stores to get all the stuff and this is how they turned out....



nice and burned!  Whoops!

At least we had a ton of other really good food!!

Bruno Mars was the best part of the Super Bowl!

My citrus zinger that she ordered for me!!  Love it!!

Since the game was not occupying us at all, Ryker and I decided to take pictures!!  Love him!!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday

I spent the day renewing my CPR and NRP licenses for work.  It was a long day but I'm refreshed now and still hope I never have to use the skills!!  It snowed most of the day but didn't accumulate. I left my house without a coat and was freezing all day!!  My BFF and I decided to have a sleepover so I went home to get my things and a coat and headed down to her house.  She and her husband had to go to the hospital for a little bit and I stayed there with the baby.  He was all over the place and finally crashed at 8!

 

Sweet little guy!!  I found Pretty in Pink, Pretty Woman, 16 Candles and Tranformers on tv.  Niki got home and we stayed up and talked for a little bit. 

 

Saturday

It was a nice lazy day, went to a ball game, came home and crashed!!

 

Sunday

I've been wanting to visit a new church but I haven't done it yet.  One day I'm really going to though!!  I cleaned, did laundry and dishes then sat down and started watching SMASH.  I got the first season at Target one day when it was on sale for $10 or something.  I love it!!  It makes me want to go see a musical!!
