My weekend..

I had a pretty darn good weekend! To start things off on Thursday my mom drove to the city with me after I got off work at the studio. She was meeting her friends in the city for a girls weekend and so it worked out for her to hitch a ride with me. It was nice to be able to talk to her like normal without holding a phone to my ear. I was telling her that it was weird not holding something or doing something with my hands while I was driving! I didn't know what to do with myself!

On Friday I went into work and had a fun time redressing mannequins and face outs. It's fun finding different outfits that have to go together and make a story. After work I met my mom in the mall since she was already there and hung out with her for a bit. I ran home to take a quick power nap before I met my brother's future wifey and the rest of the girls in the wedding party to get measured for our bridesmaids dresses. While we were getting measured the seamstress told us her amazing story (I will write a separate post about that later.. It's kinda a long story but it's a good one). After the fitting we went out to dinner and had a good time getting to know each other a little better.

Saturday I went into work again and it was a different day. It was a little on the slow side so I got the opportunity to organize. I organized all of the girls shoes in the back room and that took a while but it was relaxing. After work I drove to Norman to shop for tank tops for dance. I went to the mall and I didn't find a thing so I decided to go to Ross. I have never been to the Ross in Norman and let me tell you, I will never go to another Ross again. I have never seen so many great name brands in a Ross before. I scored pretty big in my opinion. I found a pair of MEK jeans for $12. They are my favorite brand of jeans and they normally run anywhere from $98-140. Who cares that they are a size 28 and I wear a 26! For $12 they are going to work! They are charcoal skinny jeans and they fit pretty good, they are just a little big in the waist but again for $12 I am going to make them work! I also found a cute OBEY tank (one of my other favorite brands) so I felt pretty stoked about my shopping trip! After that I went home and my dear sweet husband woke up and we had some over due quality time together before he went to work so that was nice.

Today I went to church (by myself :) ) and it was a great way to start off my week. I went grocery shopping afterwards and I got stuff to make dinner for my hubs. I wanted to make something other than chicken so I made steak, loaded mashed potatoes, green beans, and homemade soft chocolate chip cookies. Yummy!

Well I hope my week goes as well as my weekend did! The end..

It is a do nothing day

So I was off today because I am going to work tomorrow night to help out with inventory. So today I did a whole lot of absolutely nothing. I was out of town for a dance convention last weekend and as pathetic as it sounds I was still tired this week from that. So I totally took advantage of this day off.

Yesterday after work I got to hang out with one of my dear friends. We had a blast like we always do. It's good to hang out with friends and just forget about the real world for a while. We totally acted like children and I think we might have driven my husband a little crazy but it's ok.. He survived :).

Well off to do a little more nothing:) the end..

man...

So I have been pretty darn lazy about this here blog.  I have thought many times.. "man.. this would make a good post on my blog" and then I never did it.  Shame shame...

Some good news... I GOT A NEW LAPTOP!!!!!!!! I named her Lady Sally.  I really like it so far.  I got a Samsung to try something new.  I normally have a Dell and they just fall apart (sometimes literally).  So hopefully this one will last for a while.  Long live Lady Sally!

So to start the new year, (yes I know it's mid January but oh well :) ) I am going to give 10 random facts about me.....

1.  People think I'm quiet, but I'm really not. - When I am in a big crowd I normally get pretty quiet.  Sometimes it is due to my shyness as a kid but most of the time I am people watching and trying to figure the crowd out.  I love to observe people and figure them out without saying a word.

2.  I have never really been in the "in crowd"-  Growing up I was never super popular but it never bothered me.  I do things for myself because I want to not because its the cool thing to do.  Now don't get me wrong I wasn't a complete nerd or anything, but I didn't live everyday striving to be popular.  Even now when it comes to fashion I wear things that I know I like and will look good on me not because its the most in style thing.  I have always had my own sense of style even when I was a kid and I am proud of that fact. 

3.  I am a FRIENDS fan-  I LOVE the TV show Friends.  I didn't watch it when it was on TV, but I own every season on DVD.  I have watched every episode multiple times and I don't get tired of them.  I started watching them before I go to bed a couple years ago and its become a little ritual for me.  Even my husband said he was starting to get used to watching them!  I even used a quote from friends in my wedding program.

4.  I talk to my mom almost everyday-  My mom is one of my closest friends.  I don't think I was ever one of those kids who was embarrassed to be around their mom.  My mom came with me on most of my church or dance trips and I wouldn't have had it any other way.  My mom has done so much for me and I am so grateful for her.

5.  I kinda have a new obsession with the color turquoise-  I didn't realize that I love that color so much until I looked at my closet and saw all of the turquoise things in my closet.  I have purses, necklaces, shirts, sweat pants, cell phone case... just to name a few :)

6.  I have a weird thing about my hands being clean-  I don't like to use things that are toxic like bleach because they make your hands smell weird.  In my mind, if the bottle says keep away from children or toxic if eaten it could kill me if it is on my hands.  I wont eat or do anything that involves my face until the smell is off my hands.  I'm not crazy I swear.  I even had a hard time painting my fingernails because I was afraid that it would chip off in my mouth and I could get sick.  That has gotten better I promise :). 

7.  I envy my dad's work ethic-  My dad is the hardest worker I know.  When I was little my dad went to work full time and he also went to school full time to get a better job to provide better for his family.  My dad works so hard and he does it all for others.  Even his job involves helping others.  I wish I had his drive and his selflessness.

8.  I wish my fears didn't hold me back-  I love to sing but I have always been scared to sing in front of people.  It brings tears to my eyes when I see people sing and open their arms and sing with all of they are and all that they have.  I just wish I was brave enough. 

9.  I DON'T LIKE BIRDS- Birds creep me out.  I don't like that they could fly over you and poop on you at anytime of the day.  I have had too many ad bird experiences that they just give me anxiety.  That's all I want to say about that.

10.  I like to change my hair-  I am lucky to have a friend that does hair.  I met her when I was at college and then she started doing my hair.  I have brown hair and to me it could get kind of boring so I like to change it.  Right now I have blond hair.  I haven't gone all blond so I thought why not!  People tell me that my hair is going to be fried but I just tell them "I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't go tanning so let me dye my hair!" .  It is something fun for me and I'm glad my husband lets me be me and he has the same philosophy as me that you can always change your hair :)

Well that's all for now I will try not to be so bad about posting! the end..
