Phone Life Lately

Fun week!  Chris's step-sister/niece and nephew are in town visiting.  It's so fun having little ones around!  We've been playing, coloring, swimming and eating popcorn, not to mention watching Rugrats.  Talk about a blast from the past!  Love that show!  Something about a three year old that re-lights your imagination and makes you feel even more like a kid again!

While You Were Out...

So, my intentional week off turned into an unintentional two.  Apologies!  I'm so glad to be back, I was really looking forward to posting all day today!  Over the weekend I decided I would take some photos of what I was up to, mostly Saturday.  Well, that worked out well right?  Three pictures later....Saturday was such a great day!  Chris, his brother and myself went to Ihop for some good ol' breakfast and do I love me some breakfast.  Then afterwards I somehow drug both of them to go thrifting with me at Goodwill!  I had been itching to go shopping, so I grabbed twenty bucks out of the bank and let myself go like a kid in a candy store!  So much fun!  More on those outfits later!

In the meantime, I decided to keep true to myself...not worry about what I'm posting and how I can make it, "impressive"... Ahh...it's good to be back! 

I Can Hear the Bells...

 

Okay, so no...Chris has not proposed but I have had total wedding fever lately!  Today, Jamie and I went to check out prom dresses because she has prom coming up, first let me just say how much fun that was and second I decided to try on a couple of "wedding" type dresses.   The lace dress in the top picture was FABULOUS!!  I didn't try it on, but I fell in love and the second dress was more for a reception.  I can't wait to start wedding planning and then I can do Wedding Wednesdays!

By the way, I wish I was going to prom again, what an awesome time that was and I'm so excited for Jamie to be going! 

Good Monday

What's that saying about cold's..."you can't catch the same cold twice".  Well it sure felt like I did.  Sorry for the delay of posting.  Right as I was getting over being sick, womp...womp, the cold I was trying to dump just couldn't let me go.  This past weekend off was much needed!  We went to Tuscon to visit Chris's grandma, it was her birthday and we all brought flowers and paid our respects.  What an amazing woman she was, so inspiring and the love she had for her family is truly amazing!

Sunday was 49ers day!  Now I'm not much of a football follower, but I got behind the 49ers, who unfortunately did not make it into the Superbowl.  Chris's fam was not happy about it, but during half time we decided to hit around some plastic golf balls.  I perfected my swing, which I'm paying for today....ouch...and we had an all around awesome day!  What did you guys do over the weekend?  Hopefully you guys have a wonderful week!!

Wow, I sure haven't posted an outfit photo in awhile!  This was my day off outfit!  Yes, I get dressed up on my days off.  Why?  Because, I love to be girly and look nice.  Even if I am just going to the grocery store to grab recipe ingredients.  Sometimes I don't get dressed up, but more often I do than I don't!  This blazer, let me tell you...has changed-my-life!!  I wear it as much as possible...overload?  I think not.  Mens wear paired with women's wear is beautiful! 

By the way, I adore hot pink nails.  Which I have read that the trend is going to be neon nails this spring.  How fun?!  Tonight's agenda includes making veggie soup and hot salsa because Chris isn't feeling well.  I'm going to add a recipe page to the ol' blog here, so I can share my favorite recipes.  I can't wait!!

I had the day off today, hence the two posts, plus one blog upgrade = feeling successful!  Chris and I decided to take the pooches out for a walk and so glad we did.  The weather was awesome!  After we came back we got laundry started and I pretty much enveloped myself into updating the bloggy. 

How do you like it?  I absolutely love it.  I feel like I am finally starting to get the hang of this thing and getting a grasp on the "style" of it!  Such a relief and sense of accomplishment.  Maybe I can get myself to finally working on those cards I keep putting off...why am I such a procrastinator? 

Oh well, maybe next day off?
