Weekend Recap!!!

Yo! Hope you had a great weekend! :)

Friday, Eric and I headed to River Spirit Casino to hear a friend's band play. It was pretty fun actually-from watching people shakin their groove thing...to gambling with our free five dollar card they give you, it was a kinda quirky good time. (and side note.. I got FIFTEEN dollars b/c it was near my bday! woohoo!! However, we won nothing. haha!)

Can you see me in the below photo? Huh? Canya? haha.. Hope not considering I took it from the web. My camera was nice and secure in a locker the whole time, but I was indeed at Big Splash Saturday! Eric got some peeps together to embark on a Saturday waterpark adventure! There was sliding. Eating. Tanning. Wave pooling. And an injury. It wasn't me!! In attempting to find the best way to propel himself down the slide as fast as humanly possible, Eric hurt his foot. Like enough to have a fist-sized bruise forming today. Sheez...poor guy. :(
Fun things from Big Splash: joining the crowd in shrieking with excitement and waving our hands in the air when the waves started; seeing a nice gentleman...with a house arrest ankle bracelet. For real. We started calling him "prison break"; Eric's friend's money flying out of his pocket when he went down the slide..only to have the little kid after him land in a pool of money and think he won the jackpot! LOL! (til E's friend grabbed the cash..haha)...

Sat night=a friend's bday dinner at ITR south.. and here are the girlies!! (Top-Beth, Kristy, Linda; Bottom-Jenny, Marla, Sara, me). :)
And while I'm on this, I can't tell you how excited I am for an upcoming bday shindig! Kristy (above) has a bday coming up and we've planned to have a "Tool Academy" themed party! BAHAHA! Don't know what I'm talking about? Here's the show...The guys are already talking about the affliction shirts they'll be rockin...
...and as for the girls... picture the Rock of Love and you're on the same page... If you'd like to give advice on my outfit, I'm taking any and all! I'm sad b/c Eric will be outta town...so I'll have to be a tool all by myself. ;)

Anyway, back to the party... The sunset was SO.PRETTY. And my fab new camera was able to capture it way better than my old one could have! Happy! :)
Okay, so.. from there, I headed over to Eric's where we both were lulled to sleep on the sofa while watching the Soup. Woke up to some weird show about an underwater space station or something. I think. No idea. Nice. Anyway, this morning I got a pic of Crazy Cat. What is that, you ask? Oh..just the spawn of satan a mean, wild cat who apparently decided to have her babies under his neighbor's house and now won't go away. (The babies are no longer babies). The thing is.. she wont run off if you walk toward her, she just assumes the attack position and you become her prey as she hisses wildly. Um...terrifying much???Yeah. The bush is blocking her fangs teeth as she hisses to show her adoration for us...
From crazy feline to loving puppy, this is what I get when I walk through the door! (I hadnt even removed my glasses-obviously). Gracie's so awesome. :)
Okay, annnnd.. I have a confession. *nervous* I have one closet. Well.. one aside from my tiny bedroom closet. As in...a singular closet for ALL things storag-ey. But, if anyone has ever tried to open my closet door, I would make some weird stifled gaspy/screamy noise and divert them elsewhere... b/c this was my closet... Embarassing. I know. And I'm a clean person, people. *sigh* I'm like a TLC home improvement show's dream with this...And and and.. some of this was good intentions. Think bags of clothes to goodwill minus the actual trip to goodwill to deliver said clothes. (Excuses I know.. whatever.) Eric said it looked like a cartoon...like everything strategically, chaotically placed so it didnt fall out...(He was semi right). :)
I needed an intervention. So...with TLC on in the background most of the day (motivation, people!), I attacked the disaster formerly known as a closet. Tah-dah!!!
Hooray!! I found a rollie cooler, a bracelet I thought I'd lost, a cute pair of shoes (no idea), some old pics, warranties for every electronic device I own, graduation mementos, scrapbooking stuff...Lordy. Anyway, I plan to paint the bathroom next weekend! I cant do anything crazy b/c I dont own the place, but just make it look nicer without spending a ton. I DO want to move. I DO want to purchase a home. But in the meantime, an organized closet and a coat of paint never hurts. :)

Organizing feels so gooooooood when it's done. :)

Hope you had a fab weekend! :)

Bahahahaha!!! The picture of your closet made me laugh out loud...at panera....alone (because my father is never on time)! Good Jon with the organization lover!

Your closet is the Monica closet on Friends!! HA!! Looks great though, I was uber impressed with the end result. Sounds like the weekend was all sorts of fun. :)

Very cute new header!

Ashley said...

You changed your header! Yay!! I was going to tell you that I did mine in MS Publisher but you obviously figured something out! Love it!

And that closet scared me! I have never seen anything like that in real life! Excellent job on the cleaning out! I'm very impressed!!

I have a closet that looks like this...ugh!
And the new banner I WANT ONE, where and how did you do that???

Whoa... way to go on the closet clean up! Although I'm jealous that you HAVE a closet. Sammy and I share a very smallish walk-in closet in our bedroom. And that's it. There is not another storage closet/space anywhere else in our bungalow. We have to be very creative about storage, let me tell you. Grrr. Oh, love your new header!

Your blog looks great!

Super jealous of your closet organization.
