Tuesday talk

Hiya friends! I just got back from Crossfit and plan on spending my evening reconnecting with my macbook. :) 

What's up in your world? Me? Well.. Eric's living room...er.. OUR living room (still weird to say) is looking less like a tornado hit, so that's a bonus. :) He made room for my stuff, but then had to find new places for some of his... So, it was a leetle cray cray in here for a week. It's coming together though! And so far, so good on living together. :) It feels pretty natural to be honest... The weirdest part is waking up here and thinking "Okay, I get ready for work here...b/c I live here. Whoa." haha... We didn't stay together much during the week because I would have toted Gracie dog, her food, my clothes, yada yada.. OR would have had to leave her (sad face) and go home bright and early to get ready. No bueno. So, that's the weirdest part really. :)

I've been on "mission: decorate living room" since I got settled in and have been trying to find the best stuff to go with Eric's orange leather sofas. They're seriously pretty cool sofas. We got them together on a trip to Dallas a few years ago, buuuuut they're darker orange, so matching them can be a challenge. Thanks to design inspiration from bloggers and friends I referred to in the post below, I've come up with a few things! I am in LURVE with ikat, soooo I ordered the below pillows from Zigzag Studio on Etsy. I can't wait to get them and see how they look in the room! Cross your fingers, friends!
Do you love ikat as much as I do?


Anyhoo.. some other recent happenings... Eric is addicted to taco trucks.. ya know.. the ones run out of a look-alike ice cream truck. Right. Well, I always made fun of him until he took me to try one... Um.. I'm a believer. It was legit. AND they had Mexican cokes in glass bottles! yeah-yuh! Yum. I'm just saying. If you live in Tulsa and want to try a taco truck, email me. Eric has apparently tried almost all of them. Seriously. 
All of this was like $4!

I went to a happy hour at a good friend's house on Friday...that turned into a happy 11pm...haha. :) And Saturday, Eric and I had a yummy Italian dinner at Villa Ravenna with two great friends. :) I neglected to take photos on either of those nights. Blerg. Falling.down.on.the.job. 

Sunday, my friend, Beth, had an Oscar-watching party. :) She's such a hostess with the mostess- red carpet, photos, VIP list at the door (haha), yummy snacks... Honestly, I don't care a ton about the show itself, but loved the shindig to celebrate the event and watching the red carpet dresses! :) 
Checking the list for Maria.. hah... 
We opted for flats and casual attire instead of glitz and glam, so we walked the red carpet in our casual chic together. ;) 
Some of the group. :) I look so short in my flats! I'm 5'7 so I rarely feel short... funny...
One thing I learned about at the Oscar party is Viggle. Ever heard of it? It's like Shazam in that you press it and hold it up to the television so it knows what you're watching.. but... you get POINTS for shows. After so many points, you get free stuff.. like Sephora gift cards, etc! Whoa! I was Viggling everything I could that night. (totally just made "viggle" into a verb- ha)! You don't even have to watch the whole show... just check in and you can change the station. Hello addictive.
Viggle 
On Monday, Sarah had her second baby, Logan! How adorable is this?! I know she'll prolly hate me for posting this photo, but I really do think it's cute. I think she looks gorgeous and he looks so beautiful and precious. So happy for their little family!

Another great friend, Kristy, had her baby last week! Little Roman was born on Thursday and is simply adorable! (Pics from her shower here) I slacked on the photo taking b/c I was too busy holding him and staring at his adorableness and I feel like a stalker stealing her pics from fbook. Just trust me that he's adorable and she's glowing! :) 

 So, here it is.. the end of a random blog. I need to get better at blogging more frequently b/c these are getting entirely too long and full of things I try to connect that really make no sense to connect at all.. haha.. Whatever. Thanks for sticking with me, friends... Happy Tuesday!

Kaitlin said...

Love the Ikat pillows-- those will look great with orange furniture! Funny you mentioned the taco trucks; I have a co-worker who swears they have the best mexican food in town and he's very particular about which truck he buys from.

I need to find out more about those taco trucks!

Cori H. said...

I am definitely trying out one of those taco trucks the next time I'm in Tulsa. I haven't been much of a believer in them either, but my gosh, the food looks great! The Oscar-watching party looks like it was a lot of fun! Congrats to your friends on having babies!

Carolyn said...

I can't wait to see those pillows on those couches! SO CUTE!

I love love love food trucks. YUMMY. :)

Britt said...

Where to start?! First off the pillows are awesome. I love Ikat and navy with orange might be my favorite color combo ever. Just saying:)

Taco trucks are amazing. My husband has an obsession with them too. I think it is a guy thing.

Your Oscar party looks awesome! How much fun!! You all look so glamorous. I just downloaded the Viggle app. Can't wait to try it out since I am kind of a TV whore. I hope you are having a great week:)
