Friday O Friday!

April 6, 2012

Couldn’t be happier that it is finally Friday!! I drove to work today and there was no traffic…amazingly a blessing and a curse. I didn’t want to murder anyone but I was 45 minutes early to work. We all know I am not up for working than I have to! 


Weekend plans? Yes I has them! Tonight dinner with the girls and some much needed drinks! Tomorrow morning bright and early the Bunny Rock 5K. I thought I posted about this last year but it seems I did not so here is what it looked like: 

I am excited to run it even though I have not really run more than 2 miles in the last month. Don’t judge me I have been sick and then just lazy. 


Sunday! Ooh yay for Easter sunday! Church, brunch and egg hunts in store! Can’t wait!!! 


Now some random stuff! If you recall a couple Fridays ago I wanted to share some of my Draw Something fun with you! Well, here we go! 


1. Clown-Umm yes that is a Clown(BTW I am terrified of clowns and this traumatized me a little bit) 
2.  Wingman-I didn’t guess this one, even after I sent it to a friend for help
3. Bowling-I just thought it was fun
4. Wedding-it was cute 
5. Plant-I dont know why I picked this one but I liked it 
6. Cupcake-hehe I wanted to lick the screen! 
(again only one of those is a blogger friend so it links back to her) 

For some strange reason I didn’t polish my nails at all this week though I kept reminding myself too. Makes me feel a bit naked actually. 

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend, a Happy Easter and I leave you with a good weekend starting song!

Weekend Recap

March 27, 2012

I know I’m a day late but I rarely find time to blog or even check out blogs on Mondays. 


Friday night’s dinner with the girls was a great time! I wish I had taken a picture but one of the girls did with her camera so eventually it will make its way to this here blog. We had dinner at Carnivale and the food there is soooo yummy! It was the first time I could get all 6 of us in one place together since November. I missed my girls so much 🙂 

Coconut Mojito= amazeballs! 

Saturday I called up The Boy and had him help me in my quest for a vehicle. I didn’t really plan to get a car, I was hoping to wait a few more days till I got paid again so that I would have just a little more to work with. Alas I did find a car and guess what your girl is riding around in now? 

yep! That’s my new(old) sexy beast! haha I love it! It was a great deal and I was so excited to find a beetle! 
We got some Puerto Rican food and then checked out the movie 21 Jump Street! 



HILARIOUS! no seriously, you need to go and watch this movie. I was snorting with laughter for a lot of the movie. 


Sunday I got up early to go see my family and my bestie A run the Shamrock Shuffle 8K. It was much warmer than I anticipated but I am glad it wasn’t cold and rainy. I wish I had been running it as planned but since I have been sick over and over again for the last month or so I had no time to train and I would be kidding myself if I thought I could run almost 5 miles after not running for over a month. 

I also got to see Hunger Games with my siblings on Sunday! Yay!!! 

I loved it! Love loved it! I know there were somethings that were changed and some parts left out but I suppose the movie would have been way too long if they tried to fit everything. I cried like a little girl and was so annoyed at the people that clapped when the last person was killed. I mean really?! They obviously missed the idea of who the real bad guy is. If you haven’t seen it, please do! and if you didn’t like it or want to talk about it let me know! I don’t want to put too much and ruin it for anyone. 


That pretty much sums up my weekend! I have so much going on this week! Starting my 3rd class, moving out of my apartment and into my parents, and I have my first interview tonight. EeekkK!!!!

Adventures & Link ups!

March 23, 2012

So I have spent a ridiculous amount of time on Draw Something lately so I thought I would come up with a fun post for it. My photo editing skills are awful so bare with me…

Here are some of my favorites from the past week or so! See if you can guess what they are before you look below!! 
Only one of these people is a blogger friend but to keep it fair I linked this photo back to her blog! 

1. Peacock…and yes that is a picture of what you think it is
2.  Scotland(why it took me forever to figure that out?!) 
3. Lamp (I just loved how she drew all the other stuff in the living room too!) 
4. Facebook(she couldn’t guess it!) 

My drawing skills are even worse than my photo editing skills so you can imagine how much fun it is for me to play this game! 

In other news……

1. The weather has been AMAZEBALLS in Chicago…we had records temps for 4 days!!! I love warm weather, the hotter the better so I have been very very happy! 
2. Have I told you all how much I love A? Well she saw I wanted these on my blog and bought me two! They are soooooo yummy!!! 
3. Linking up for Nail Files!! Opi Animalistic! I love it, the glitter was just a glittery polish that was around! 
4. Got my Birchbox this month and I am excited to try all the good stuff in it! 

The Nail Files


I’m going out with all my favorite girls tonight for dinner & drinks! I can not wait sooooo excited to get us all together!! 

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!
