My weekend was good...Friday night I hung out with my fabulous mom--my dad was in Toronto. We had such a good time...went to Sample House. I got a few things. For instance...
Olive LOVES to get into a plant that I have in the living room. She rips off the leaves and shreds them to bits all over the carpet. It's NOT fun to clean up. So...I have been on the lookout for a plant stand, but they are all SO boring. But not this one...it's PERFECT. I ♥ Samplehouse. It's the best.
I also got this mercury glass bird. And another bottle with crystal topper. Both are for my bedroom. I am in the process of re-doing my bedroom (bedding & accessories). Part of what I am doing is simple, clean, lots on neutrals & shiny bling (like mercury glass and clear lucite). More on that in a later post, too. Anyway...the bird was a "gift" from my mom. Thanks Svettie! :)
After shopping we headed to Tin Star for dinner. Love that place. Then we watched a movie (Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day). It was super cute. I love time with Svettie. (That's what we call my mom. It's not her name, just her nickname. The story behind that will have to be it's own separate post). It was a fabulous, relaxing Friday night!
Saturday, I dragged Robbie to get a manicure. He needed one B-A-D and there is no shame in a straight man going and having clean hands. I really wanted a mani & pedi because I had just purchased some new polish. (ck calvin klein polish in STEELE...fabulous!) So, we headed to my nail place. It was fun...apparently they do MANicures all the time--his hands looked clean but not overdone. He will probably not like that I posted about this...but whatev! :)
Saturday night we met a bunch of people out at Quarter Bar on McKinney. We sat on the rooftop deck--it was SO nice outside. I LOVE this time of year. Sunday, I went to my friend, Elizabeth's for the {pathetic} Cowboys game. I did not last past halftime. I went home and relaxed. :)
So, that was my weekend. Also, here are some random thoughts I figured I'd share:
- I really love my job...especially the hours.
- I think I am gonna join weight watchers soon.
- I have no idea what I want to do for Halloween.
- I am excited a cool front is coming. YAY!
- I am looking forward to watching Gossip Girl and One Tree tonight.
- I am ready to stop thinking about the election.
- I wish my Mac was working but am thankful I have a sissy that will let me use hers.
- I am thinking about having a contest soon.
- I hope people will participate in my survey about blog background colors.
- I hope you all have a fabulous week!
That's all for now my dear bloggers. Until next time...
hugs,

Sounds great but I'm sad we didn't get to meet!! WE have to fix that!
ReplyDeleteoh yeah...LOVE the new banner!!
ReplyDeleteI do love Weight Watchers! I'm thinking about getting back to it after this baby is born. So great, b/c if you want a Snickers bar, you can.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so I voted for white, but I think black looks so cute...oh what decisions?! Your dog is just so darn cute, I am obsessed with dogs, while we only have one, I unsecretly wish we had ten!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the new banner!!! Too cute! And I do believe I will need to be buying myself a bottle of steele nail polish as well... it's fabulouse and very fallish!
ReplyDeletei love your fabulous halloween banner!
ReplyDeleteLove the new look. I have to try out all these shops you always talk about! It's really not that far from Mansfield/Arlington, Right? Also...I jut rejoined WW a couple of weeks ago. I'm getting married in like 5 weeks. LOL...better late than never!!
ReplyDeleteI love your new plant stand! It is much better than any I have seen out and about. Weight Watchers is the best! :) It really works (my mom and I are doing it right now) and I agree with Sunni.... if you want a snickers bar or Wendy's.... you can have it!
ReplyDeleteYour new background and banner, well are just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI want to go to all these cool shops too. Oh why oh why am I stuck here in KC?
Glad you had a great weekend! Love the new banner also! Im a fan of really any of the colors. I thought I loved black most until you did mine white - then I realized I LOVE the white! But I really like them all. As long as you can read what someone is writing - it works for me!
ReplyDeleteI lost 40 pounds on Weight Watchers. I am ten pounds lighter than my pre-pregnancy weight three kids ago. I'm a big fan of it!
ReplyDeletei love the new look!
ReplyDeletesounds like you had a great weekend and i love your fabulous finds!
i LOVE weight watchers. i am not doing it now but have done it twice. before i got pregnant with both my kids. ( i am 5ft 1in and i and didnt want to start off my pregnancy overwight, too short for that.) anyway, i lost 30 lbs before maggie and then lost all maggie's baby weight before billy came along. so i highly recommend it! now if i can only do it myself. i still have 25 lbs of baby weight from billy. can you still call it baby weight when the "baby" is almost 2???
blessings ~

( in your poll and also i
early voted yesterday, no
no lines to wait in on
election day! yea!!)
Sounds like a fun weekend! I tried to send some friends to your fave places in McKinney, but we are directionally challenged and never made it. I love the new look, background color and all. Oh, and Olive totally looks like she is plotting some way to get that plant down again.
ReplyDeleteLOVE SampleHouse....Love it. And I think I need to get back on WW too.....
ReplyDeleteSorry about the weekend!! We got wrapped up in details...and clearly missed a few important ones...YOU! I suck.
I wasn't quite sure where to write this, so I hope this is ok. Several of my friends had you design their blogs (A Bunch of Blogs, the Weir Family, The Poe Fam, etc.) and I have now started one and was wondering if you would design mine as well. I am not sure what you need from me. My site is http://thewoodards-abilene.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI haven't done a thing to it, yet. Thanks.
