Weekend Recap!

Hello lovelies! Alright, I admit it. I've been a bad, bad blogger. Do you ever feel like it's overwhelming to blog, comment, yada yada? haha.. Anyway, I've also been trying to keep active to not get in a total February funk, so staying off the sofa and computer as much as possible. :)

Soo.. without going off on too much of a diatribe about my recent activities I havent blogged, let's see...

Heeeeere's the weekend..

Eric takes the second CPA exam on Monday morning! GOOD LUCK, E!!!! Kick @ss and take names!! So, he's been a studying fool lately and I thankfully pulled him away for some Mexican food on Friday night. I pulled in to his casa and saw....this.
Is that not the creepiest thing ever? These cats have apparently adopted his porch. I think one is in heat...or making horrible noises for fun outside his window (siiiiiick). Anyway, he doesn't feed them or anything.. but he's officially the cat man or something... at least this week.. haha...

Saturday, we went to his friend's engagement partay where my typical clumsy self shattered a glass. Good job, Jax. Gooood job. *sigh* If there's something to break, trip over, fall down, yada yada.. I'll find it somehow. Anyway, here are some pics I made him take before he dropped me off.. ("We didn't take any pics tonight... smile!") ;) We were just trying to get one we both liked of us smiling... and then gave up and hilarity ensued...


I see these and think "awwww.. cute.... " then "ohmygosh I need a tan!' I may have gone today. Don't judge me. I ran and worked out for 45 minutes afterward to punish myself. But, I loved every single minute of that 7 minute stand up bed fluorescent light blasting my pale self.

I've been doing it all. Self tanners. Lotions. Yada yada.. and I just wanted that goggle-wearing, no-one-can-bother-me, I'm-pretending-it's-not-cold-outside, warmth. Just once. *sigh* Why is something that feels so good so bad for me?! haha... :(

This weekend, I also filled FIVE bags with clothes for goodwill b/c I cleaned out my closet! (Seriously, some of these clothes, I wouldnt even want to give to friends.. why did I keep that random skimpy dress from college? Yeah.. I dont know). Why did I clean out my closet, you ask? Welllllllll... MARLA AND I FOUND A HOUSE! Yuppers! We signed the lease on Friday! It's in an adorable (and safe!) neighborhood.. a cute little gingerbread! I can't wait to post more about it! I'm hoping to use as much time as possible to get organized and get rid of superfluous stuff over the next few weekends before we move! (We move in March 20th)!

I hope you had a great weekend!

Oh and ps.. I gave up soda for lent. My body needed to detox. Pepsi and Dr. Pepper were taking the place of most other beverages and well..that's not good. So far, so good! I'm finding ways around soda.. tea, etc. I didn't need to stop the caffeine as much as I needed to stop all that other crap they put in soda, ya know. Sooooo whatever your goals for lent, if any, good luck b/c this is tough, peeps!

YAY for the house, can't WAIT to see it. And good for you giving up soda for Lent... I'm sorta pretending that Lent doesn't exist this year. Bad me. ;-(

Creepy cats...look at those eyes all staring at you. That's a total of 5 i can count. WEIRD :)-

Gosh, I'm in the same boat with the overwhelming of blogging. Life has been way to hectic and the blog has been the one to suffer. Oh sigh.

And congrats on finding a place!! How exciting!!!

One day last week, my two friends and I had a 30 minute conversation about how we miss tanning. If anyone walekd by us they probably would have thought we were mourning something (which we kind of were) due to how sad our faces and voices looked. SIGH. Go Eric! Yay for new houses :) Can't wait to see a picture

Good luck to Eric and his creepy cats. (um, go away!)

I also gave up soda for Lent - so far so good!

Abbie said...

I was JUST saying to my sister how I wanted to go lie in a tanning bed more for the warmth than anything. And of course, she gave me the look and then said, it's so bad for you! Oh lay off! I think I'm gonna go today! Haha!

JAMIE said...

I gave up soda for Lent last year. Funny thing was, I didn't think I drank it all that much, but as it turns out, I did! And by the end it was really hard!

Brittany said...

I love reading your posts :-) Cute pics!

That is one creepy picture indeed!

I wish I could give up soda. Maybe I'll just cut my intake. I drink diet, not that it's any better, but I need my caffine! I don't drink coffee so I need to get it somehow lol

P.S - Congrats on finally finding a cute and safe house! :-)

Jamie Pickle said...

I am always tempted to go tanning during the winter, but all I hear is my friend telling me I am going to end up looking like Magda from There's Something About Mary.

Congrats on finding a house!!

ughhh I need to tan so bad but I'm so against it! I feel so gross! I just wish winter was over and the sun would come out. I'm NOT asking for that much right? Glad you had a fun weekend!

Anonymous said...

Congrats on finding a house!!!! That's fabulous.

You do not need a tan-you look great!

Carol {Everyday Delights} said...

Yay for finding a house!! Can't wait to see pics! Ok so I gave up soda a few years ago for Lent and I seriously have never gone back! It totally made me realize I was better off without all the soda! I still do like sparkling water with lime now - my new soda of choice. Stay strong! You can do it!!!

Brittany Ann said...

Good for you for giving up soda! It can be so hard! But I know you can do it!

Just Add Walter said...

good for you for cleaning out your closet... that can be such a pain in the butt!! Good luck to Eric in taking the CPA... my hubby is a CPA so I know what a pain that can be!

Sierra said...

Creepy kitties and good job for cleaning out the closet! I totally understand that commenting can get overwhelming, sometimes breaks are in order! Proud of you for fasting from soda, I am fasting from sweets and it is hard but I am managing to do it!!

Stephanie H said...

Congrats on finding a house! Good luck with everything you have to do to get ready.
