Weekend Recap!



The thunder is booming outside and Gracie dog and I just got in from a pre-storm walk-race to beat the rain. She's passed out beside me and we're getting ready to watch Kourtney and Khloe... so exciting, I know.

This weekend was pretty good, peeps! Friday, I grabbed dinner with Maureen and the two of us ran some errands just hung out. :) Good times.

Saturday, I headed to my friend, Brandy's, personal shower. I may or may not have gotten lost in a little town in Oklahoma called Sand Springs. Were the directions hard? No. Am I proud of my lack of directional ability? No. Did I stop somewhere to ask for directions that ended up being ACROSS the street from where I was going? Yeah. I did. Whatever. But..um.. I guess the place was going for a Christmas in July thing? I dunno...

Anyway, I got the directions....to go across the street.. and made it to the shower. :) It was hosted by the bride's mom's friends and others...and lemme tell you...Her mom's friend's are freaking cool. They all have a little gambling group-adorable right? Except dont let the adorableness fool you.. These ladies are GOOD at poker. Just.saying. Like go on poker cruises together, etc... awesome. Anyway, check out some of the yummy food and adorable cake. (and who knew you could have plates printed with pics?! I didnt. Totally cute).
The bride-to-be opening gifts :)
Some of the ladies had planned a fun little performance to music for entertainment... HILARIOUS! :) I'll refrain from details, but this was a personal shower...so the lyrics were less than tame. Comedy!
Brandy and me...
Her shower totally solidified my desire to have a personal shower when I get hitched someday. It was just so fun... Lots of laughs from many generations, fun gifts, girly drinks... just plain awesome.

Saturday night, went to a friend's going away party (2nd one in two weeks! Sheesh.) Came home and took a pic with my little pup. :)
Today, lots of errands.. Went to find something to wear for/on my birthday next weekend but didn't find anything.. Granted, it might be b/c my roomie called me and said she thought she smelled something burning before she left for work. Um... So, I threw down the stuff I had in my hands and ran home, thankfully to find no burning anything. Minor heart attack=me. Anyway, rest of the day was grocery storing, errands, etc. Eric and I grocery stored together b/c he doesnt have a car right now.. Poor guy. :( They finally paid him for his last week (from when the dude totaled it), but he hasn't found what he wants yet....and has opted to go ahead and fix his truck b/c he wants to keep it anyway since it's kinda his baby... So, in the meantime, he's high rollin in my passenger seat and we're bonding over Whole Foods... ha!

Hope you had a great weekend, blog peeps!

How in the world did you snap that photo at the Post Office -- HAHA that should be illegal! Yay for showering your friends with love!

Ok, that shower looks like soooo much fun! I love crazy girl get-togethers...always the best!

Per usual, you look fabulous : )

I am totally the same way with directions. I can go to the same place a million times and still don't know how to get there. My GPS is my best friend.

And Kourt and Khlo are a fabulous way to spend a Sunday evening. I would have watched them, but they were bumped due to the BET awards and my love for all hip hop and rap.. they are on the DVR and we will have our date tomorrow night :)

Glad it was such a great weekend, lady! xoxo

I tried to use my context clues, but failed miserably: what is a personal shower?

Cute pictures!

The shower looks awesome! I totally want one when I get married too, which seems like it's going to be forever from now...............lol!

Does it ever seem like every blogger is either pregnant, just had a baby, married or engaged? I tried explaining this to the boy and he didn't feel like it was a valid reason to get married, haha!

I love the pic of you and Gracie!
