Oh Monday…

October 15, 2018

How is it October 15th already guys???

It is Monday..and I am exhausted so I am just going to share my thoughts….

– I just got back from a short (but long) trip back to Chicago for a wedding. I haven’t been home since the move…which was only 2 months ago but feels like 8 years so I wanted to try and cram some family and friend time in. The result is me hopped up on some major caffeine this morning!

– It was cold…like 30s on Friday. Eff that. But then I wake up in Austin this morning and its 49 and raining. FML I can’t win. I need new rain boots..and to stop wearing my sandals?! Im not ready.

– My friend was in town last week and I magically (think sick day + awesome boss who let me have more days off) got most of the week off. I had so so much fun exploring Austin with her and just relaxing. She also got me hooked on some new shows….Hello Shitt’s Creek!

– I now have to get my life together and book my Thanksgiving flight which I am sure will be more money since I didn’t do it earlier.

– I finally went into the Erin Condren store last week…Shit guys. Why did I do that? Now I want everything. EVERYTHING!!!

– We just put up our Halloween decor on Thursday. Yes, 2 weeks into October. Meanwhile I am already seeing people talking about Christmas!

Ok that is all for today! I hope you all have a good Monday!

Random Tuesday Bits…

June 5, 2018

I know you all are curious what I did to celebrate my birthday right?

On Saturday I had a bbq and wouldn’t you know…it was 60 degrees out. Even though it was 95 on Thursday. We froze our asses by the lake all day. 

I specifically requested cookies instead of a cake!

Sunday…I spent the day with my family and thenewguys. We had brunch and then went to his brother’s for a backyard bbq.

This was before she exploded one all over them!

Monday(my actual bday) I worked a bit…got done early and went home to relax and read until dinner! Thenewguy took me a fancy sushi place we hadn’t been to so we could try something new. He even let me stop by Barnes & Noble to buy myself a bday gift (Magnolia Cookbook!!).**he is a not a fan of bookstores.

Cookie cake for the win!!
So I started eating it before I could get a good pic…had to turn it around!

 I was so full we went home and laid down to watch House and relax!!
