A day late & whatever it is they say

February 21, 2012

I know that’s a long title but I’ve got nothing. Anywhoodle, I had a fantastic weekend a very busy Monday. I am leaving for Florida early Thursday morning so I have a lot of work to get done and I decided to make Monday night the night for doing all my homework for the week. Someone should have kicked me for deciding to do that!

Friday night was fantastic! I haven’t been out out with all my friends in months so it felt great to get all dolled up and dance the night away. Snoops was looking great and dancing her butt off…~~we won’t mention that she fell~~ She was entitled to her birthday shenanigans. I will admit I drank a lot more than I meant to and A through a tequila shot in there(HOW DARE SHE) my inability to say no thank you led to a very real brain pain on Saturday morning.
OOh the date…
I spent most of Saturday in bed in and out of sleep. I wish I had taken a photo of the ~~ridiculousness~~ hot mess that I left the house in just to get food. I should have been ashamed of myself but I couldn’t have cared less. Mr. Hops and I went out on another date Saturday night, luckily for him I slept off the hangover and actually managed to get out of bed. I have mentioned to him that I blog but not told him how to find it so I am going to hope and keep my fingers crossed he won’t read this but let me tell you something I am not a fan of. If you ask me out to dinner then I am not going to eat before our date. I am not a shy salad eating date kind of girl I will wait so that I can get some food. BUT if you then do not take me to dinner instead to a bar and claim to not be hungry I am not going to insist that we eat. Unfortunately, he has done this twice now. I don’t really understand the point of it and this time around it annoyed me. I like to think I am not too picky so am I wrong here? Should he not have taken me to get some food? I hate drinking on an empty stomach but I did and after a few hours we ended up sharing an appetizer which didn’t do much for me. So it was an interesting night. I may write up a whole post on what made this night so interesting but I suggest you all watch “The Naked Man” episode of HIMYM and you might have an idea of how funny my night went. Thank goodness I am not looking for anything serious because he would be put in the “not bf material” pile after that night.

I know you guys are really just waiting to see some pictures so here ya go….

Monday Fun & Link Up

February 13, 2012

I feel like there is so much I want to talk about and not nearly enough space…so here are a few things I need to get out on this Monday!

1. Valentines Day Swap-

After doing the book swap I was definitely in for a Valentines day swap! I haven’t done anything for Vday in years so it was nice to get some goodies! I was partnered up with Samantha @ The Lotus Thrives Anyway

So glad I did!! Look at all the great stuff she got me! I’ve already used one of the polishes of course.

2. A 2nd Date-

I went on a 2nd date with Mr.Hops! It was kind of a last minute decision, I was supposed to be joining some coworkers for a screening party and didn’t want to go alone since A has come down with germies and is sickly at home. I text him asking what he had planned for the night and he responded taking me out. So we did! We headed to a bar/lounge and had drinks and hung out. I thought I might make it to the party but it didn’t happen and I am definitely ok with that! I had a great time!

Amazing!

3. The Grammys –

I actually almost forgot about the Grammys because well…yea I am just not a big awards show gal. So lets see….the performances were pretty good. I have no idea who was wearing what but I know I thought Carrie Underwood looked amazing! Adele was fantastic! I was really slow to get on the Adele bandwagon but once I joined I realized she has serious talent. She deserved all those awards and then some! Ummm what else…Rihanna needs clean up that mess of hair, Nicki Minaj makes me want to punch her through the screen. Loved the song Katy Perry performed though not so much her outfit or performance. Blake Shelton & Adam Levine….yes please!!!

4. Mrs. M’s Birthday-

It was my mama’s birthday this sunday! We went for Sushi at our fave family sushi place and had a grand ole time! We got her a Pandora charm bracelet for her bday, we hope she loved it and it seems she did! I can’t tell you how old she is but I tell you she doesn’t look like she is old enough to be my mother!

5. Whitney Houston-

oooh Whitney! I was definitely sad to hear that she died. She was yet another troubled but amazing talent. I don’t presume to know what drove the woman to ruin her life with drugs but I can only say that it is a sad story. This was my favorite Whitney Houston song!!

I think thats all I want to share for now!! Check out my All About Me post for the link up at A Complete Waste of Makeup!
