On Fridays Faves!!!

Let me tell you ladies…I am so happy it is Friday! Last day before Winter Break and its only really a few hours of work!!

– The Boyfriend and I finally had sushi this week and I was a happy camper…I wont even tell you how much I ate…it was disturbing. 
– This is the last photo my coworkers and I took together before we dispersed for the crazy! 
– Guess who is going to see Lion King this weekend??? Oh yea bitches!! ME!!! wooooo!!!! The boyfriend got us tickets for my xmas gift that I have been asking for since May! Wooo! 
– Tickets to see Adele went in July when she comes to CHicago went on sale yesterday. 3 days and no damn tickets. I tried all morning and couldn’t get any!!! 
I would say I have a 5th but I am trying to get the eff out of here!! I promise not to disappear just because I am on winter break but if you need me I will have my face shoved in a book!! 

On ways to piss off bloggers…

I have wanted to write this one for a while…I spent quite a few times giggling as I typed it too. 
I am sure all of you know exactly what I am talking about but please feel free to tell me what else you think pisses bloggers off! 
Ways to piss off a blogger….

In real life….
– Not be patient with them when they want to take 5 million photos of dinner or drinks before you eat it
– Take them someplace that has shitty lighting (how will they photograph their food, and outfit, and drink, and perfectly placed hand w/Michael Kors watch?) 
– Complain about taking 100 photos of them in the same outfit posing 20+ different ways while its damn cold outside 
– Make a joke about their “blog thing” they do 
– Get annoyed when they say “I have to blog about this” or “Wait, I need to _____ for my blog.”

Online….
–  Hate on the newest fashion “must have”. For example, right now it is Blanket scarves – I hate them. Not going to lie. Too big and unless you weigh next to nothing they just add to the winter bulk that is not cute as it is.

– Hate on fancy planners. – I want one badly. So for now…I hate on them.

– Bitch about “Big” bloggers and all the things they are doing wrong and ways they are trying to tell you “Blog do’s & don’ts” on your blog.  – I am always doing it all wrong so it just makes me laugh

– Complain in a post about anyone who suddenly tries to make any money off their blog…i.e. they are selling out, i’m sick of seeing ads, they have all these sponsored posts. – ummm if I can make some money you bet your ass I will. 

– Link up without actually posting about the topic. – no gracias. I looked at your page to see a post regarding the link up not to see 100 photos of you in an outfit

– Be a no-reply commenter – I just feel bad I can’t reply back man!

– If you want to piss off mommy bloggers- Talk about children without having any – this is my fave. People get so angry when you talk about kids and don’t have any. Apparently working with children for longer than they have had them isn’t enough to know a damn thing.

– Show off all the wonderful, beautiful, fantastic things in your perfectly lit, posed and decorated life. – this always pisses people off on any social media


Can you add to this list?? What have you observed getting all the blogger panties into a twist?? 

On Mondays after TBOX….

How is it Monday already?? how??!?

Just need to make it through this week…

This weekend was actually super busy and productive which might shock you if you knew that I spent most of the day Saturday drinking. But I made it happen!

Friday – was pretty relaxing…I had a big weekend ahead of me.

Saturday – #TBOX2015 The boyfriend got up ridiculously early and made us a big breakfast (pancakes, eggs, bacon) and we had a couple shots before we headed out to meet his friends and start the festivities! And basically it was drunken happy from then on.

This is the best of 5 pictures…

Probably my 8th cereal shot of the day 

He was really serious about getting all the cereal

Lets just say I had a damn great day! Also…I was damn drunk so forgive the fact that my eyes are barely open in any of the photos! We were done and in bed by 4:30 and that was basically all we could do with ourselves for Saturday! 
Sunday- I went to a Friends place for a Ladies Christmas Tea party she has every year! I brought along my mom and we ate, drank some spiced cider and crafted a little bit. It was a great time! We also went an aunts house to have dinner and then to a Christmas Festival show…busy busy busy. 

OOh boy this is picture heavy….sorry!! I hope you all had a great weekend!!
