Friday Confessional

I confess...

that I haven't been doing so well with my eating habits this week.
that I am ready for the weekend.
that I am curious to see how tomorrow night goes {Jenessa's "Girls Night Out"}

I confess...

that I'm ready to be home, in my pajamas, and eating orange sherbet a healthy snack.
that Amos has been slightly neglected this week.
that my apartment has been slightly neglected this week. Definitely in need of a deeeeep cleaning.

I confess...

that no such "deeeeeep cleaning" will take place this weekend. Way too much to do!
that I'm behind on Big Brother, but I will catch up tonight... along with Suits {who else loves that show?}
that I'm already planning my next unhealthy meal! Some days a greasy burger and fries makes everything better. Get used to it!
that I've done some slight damage while shopping the last few weeks! :)

I confess...

that my "baby" will start Kindergarten next week and I might cry. When did she get old enough to start school??
that I might be late for work the day my niece starts Kindergarten. I will have to stalk her and take pictures, won't I??

And lastly, I confess that my frig looks like this...

What? You don't keep lumps of coal in your frig?

And newspapers? And coffee??

I Someone may or may not have accidentally turned the refrigerator completely off last week?!?! Apparently, coffee, charcoal, and coffee are rumored to absorb any nasty smells. We shall see!!

I'm loving Starburst!

I've been craving Starburst and finally got a small bag on Monday.

 I'm loving these brownie bites!

I'm not loving the calorie count though :(

 I'm loving this oddball too! Even if I think he has more crazy days than normal ones :)

I'm loving this store. I can probably count on one hand how many times I've been into Loft since it opened in the mall in Tupelo. They have such cute things, but not cute prices. I lucked up on a good sale two weeks ago so now I'm stalking them again! :)

 I'm loving Target, as usual! Too bad I have to drive 60+ miles to the closest one! Target people, if you are listening, please add Tupelo, MS to your list of places to build!

I found this dress and this dress this past weekend. Can't wait to wear them!

* I'm loving that fall clothes are starting to hit the shelves! Yes, I'm still buying for summer, but I LoVe fall. It's my favorite season! 
* I'm loving my sweet Amos. I hate he can't be my little lap dog so instead, I crawl down in the floor and lay in his lap :) And when I do, he'll put his little big sweet paw on me.
* I'm loving my sweet, brave, precious mama for cleaning out my horrible, nasty, terrible, stinky, yucky, gross, nasty, horrible, very bad smelling frig this past week. It was bad. Very bad. Ugh, I might throw up {again} thinking about it. Yeah, I was hid out in the bathroom making friends with my toilet while my mom was cleaning that nastiness out. Ewww. Bless her. She's a tough woman.
*I'm loving that this Saturday night will be spent with a close friend and some others for a little Girl's Night Out. Jenessa's getting married in 9 days!

I think that's all for now! Happy Hump-Day everyone! I've got to get back to work :(

Weekend Recap

My weekend started off in a cruddy sort of way, but it got much better!

Friday after work I visited our house to check things out and realized we have a new creature living in our house. Ugh! I left there and checked our storage unit and then headed to McDonald's for a Rolo McFlurry. Both drive thru lines were backed out around the building so I headed to Sonic. I tried their new Turtle Sundae Shake and was disappointed. Silly me wasn't thinking it would have chocolate ice cream {yuck} so it got nibbled on and then trashed. I went straight home and caught up on my DVRd shows. {I am so happy to have my DVR back!!}

Doesn't it look tasty?

Saturday got better when I found out Brad got off work early and would be home by 12! We loaded up and went back to our house and he mowed/weeded while I cleaned every nook and cranny of the house. Oddly enough we finished up about the same time. We cleaned up and headed to Tupelo {oh, how I miss living that close to Tupelo/the mall/restaurants/any shopping}. Brad and I started our shopping trips {as usual} at PetSmart. Amos has started taking Glucosamine/Chondroitin vitamins! Next up was the mall. I was on a mission for a dress to wear to Jenessa's wedding and then another dress or cute top to wear to her Girls Night Out. I found neither! :( but I did find a top similar to this one in white and the ruffles were straight, not diagonal; this tank in the brownish/taupe color, and a third top that was white with gray stripes, plus this sweater in the darker fuchsia color! Everything was 1/2 off! :) I gave up on the dress idea and we left the mall. Our next and final stop was Outback. Yum! There's nothing better than their Bloomin' Onion, bread, salad, steak and sweet potato! We left fat and happy and headed home.

Sunday, we skipped church so we could finish up errands for Brad. He needed an "aviation resume" and a 250 word essay {he's applying for an aviation scholarship} before he went back to Arkansas. We finished that up in between watching Swamp People and then headed back to the house to finish spraying Kudzu. We also visited with a friend, and stopped by McDonald's for their Rolo McFlurry! I ended up sharing my McFlurry; honestly, I wasn't that impressed with it. We finished off the night watching way too many episodes of Ice Road Truckers.

Mine looked very similar to this one :)

Brad was on the road by 3:40 this morning headed back to Arkansas. Y'all, I was up from 2:30 {thanks to Amos} to after 4. I'm tired and sleepy! My mom's church is having Vacation Bible School this week so I'll be helping with that. Every day. For 2 or more hours. She owes me.

I wish I had pictures to add, but again, another boring, picture-less post. I'll try to snap a few this week just to keep things alive?! :)

Happy Monday everyone!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Happy Hump-Day! I'm trying to get back in the 5 day work week groove, but it's been a slow process :) But, today is Wednesday {even though I feel like it's Thursday} so that means it's time for...

Make sure to click here and find out what everyone else is loving today!

First up, I'm loving this new mascara. I have really short eyelashes plus they tend to break off easily. I tried this on a whim and I'm really liking it so far. The wand is a tiny bit too "fat" for my short lashes, but I can get past that.

 I'm loving these jumbo marshmallows too! You practically hold it and bite like you would if you were eating an apple :)

 I'm loving this little lady, Jenessa. Her wedding is in 3 weeks! This pic was taken at her wedding shower, outside, in MS, in July, at 630 pm. I think we look pretty good! :)

 I'm loving this picture. After the shower, some of us went to Mike's to hang out {the girls} and throw darts {the boys}. It's me, Lindsey, Jenessa, and Jeanne Beth.

I wanted to share pictures of what I bought this weekend, but Target will not let me save the pics?! Oh, well...  Have a great day!

This weekend I was forced lucky enough to visit the great Natural State again. If you're keeping count, that is 3 out of 4 weekends in June. Brad didn't have to work Sunday so we drove to West Memphis and ate Cracker Barrel! Yum yum!

 The entire drive there I was telling Brad how I just could.not.wait for my pecan pancakes {even though I was upset at myself for eating so badly the previous week}, BUT they have a new menu with multi grain pancakes so I ordered those instead! I'm loving them! :) This isn't my picture {Brad would have died if I would have whipped out my camera right there in the restaurant}, but that's almost exactly what my plates looked like. I didnt eat it all... don't worry :)

Loving the multi-grain!

  I'm loving my crazy family too. Yes, we all have men in our lives, but they weren't invited :) I'm not sure what we'll do when John Aaron gets older. Ha! :)

 I'm loving this man {and he loves me; he just doesn't show it on camera}and those gosh awful gold aviators with the forehead piece. I promise he doesn't wear those in public. And yes, that's my zebra CD holder... I got it as a gift when I was in high school!

I'm loving my first vanilla malt from Sonic. I've always wanted to try it, but I am SO NOT GOOD at trying new things. I even looked up the difference between a milkshake and a malt {side note: what would I do without Google??}. Someone commented on a thread that it tasted like a Whopper. You got my vote!

Look at the awesome cup it came in :)

 Chloe's recital was Saturday. I left right after it was over and headed west. She did SO well during her songs and her solo. I was so proud of her!! I'm loving that my little Clo-Monster has really grown out of her shell since she started dance.

She thinks she's big stuff! :)

What are you loving? Tell me!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

It's that time again! :) I skipped out on last week's since I was a little busy... you know... on vacation!! It was wonderful! Let's move on, shall we? Talking about it just reminds me that I'm back at work :(

 Make sure you link up to Jamie's blog too! I'd love to see what you're loving :)

These will be pretty self explanatory so I'm going to try to limit my words, but who am I kidding? I am a talker...

I'm loving Adam... I have always been a 5 fan, but more now than ever!

These are actually pretty tasty {and healthy} :)

25 of these = 200 calories-- You won't be able to eat all 25 in one day either!



Yay for summer shows!!



I like The Voice much more than I like AI

My new Tory Burch glasses! Mine are very similar to these :)

Finished this book on vacation... there's just something about the South. You have to read this!

Ok, so I tried to not say write too much, but oh, well! What all are you loving? No, seriously... what are you loving? Tell me. I'm in a nosey mood + I'm in a don't-want-to-work-mood!

Friday Five

This week's Friday Five will be a tad on the boring side, but I'm posting them anyway!

1. I'm having lunch tomorrow with my "Bunco girls". We used to meet once a month at someone's house to eat and play Bunco. Before long it was more like chatting and a round or two of Bunco. Now we only meet to eat! HA! And chat :) In fact, we haven't all gotten together since last fall. Pretty much everyone in the group is either married or a mom or both or some sort of busy so it's hard for all of us to get together. Tomorrow should be fun since we'll have plenty to talk about :)

2. After lunch, Whitney and I are headed straight to the theater. We've narrowed it down to Bridesmaids or Fast Five. Chick-flick comedy or Vin Diesel? We.cannont.decide. It's Vin, people?! Whit and I both have a love for Vin. What girl doesn't? His voice, his skin, his perfectly bald head... I wont' tell you how long it took me to google pictures of him; just couldn't decide...



3. Brad is hopefully coming in this weekend; if not, then I'll be heading to Arkansas again.

4. Let's hope Brad can come in; our grass is in desperate need of mowing! Other than that, Hinkle is pretty well maintained. Now if only I could keep the apartment clean! :)

5. I hope to fit in my Sweet Saturday this weekend. I've been thinking about another Sonic Double Stuf Oreo blast since it's only here for a limited time, a Rolo McFlurry {never had one}, Jimmy John's ice cream again, or a sno-cone. Maybe Brad can help me decided!

Happy weekend everyone!!

What I'm Loving Wednesday

Yep, it's Wednesday already?! I'm still off track from the 4 day work week last week. Next week will only be a 2 day work week and the week after that will be a 3 day. I will really be confused after that! Anywho, back to the main topic today... What I'm loving Wednesday!

 Don't forget to check out Jamie's blog today!

I'm loving that we sold Snoopy last week! She was only advertised for about two weeks when we got the call! I'm going to miss her, but that's one more thing I can mark off my list :)

 I'm loving the fact that this time next week the ladies of my family (plus John Aaron) will be headed back to the beach! This picture was taken in the summer of 2009! That's my sister, Courtney, my mom, Chloe and me. I can't get over how much Chloe has changed since then!

 I'm loving these things right now! And they're whole grain?!

 I'm loving the regular Lunchables too; I may or may not choose my Lunchable depending on what cookies are offered! :)

 I'm loving my new swimsuit top. Yes, I went with my first ever tankini, but hopefully I won't be wearing it long. I'd love to get back into my regular swim attire, but I'm just not that brave yet! Gaining ten pounds makes you reconsider your beach outfits :)

 I'm loving these little things too! They're two {of three} of the swimsuits I bought Chloe for this summer.

 I'm also loving this face wash. I'm  normally a Clean & Clear kind of gal, but I picked up some Olay last month and I think I'll stick with it.

 Last {but NOT least}, I'm loving that view! I'll be seeing it next week! :) {Can you tell I'm excited? I haven't been on vacation since December 2009!}
