Another weekend has come and gone. I am not going to lie, I struggled a little to get out of bed this morning and be excited about my work out, as it was leg day. Leg day on a Monday = a rough time! I did it it though, so that is all that really matters. Right?!?! Let’s get on with my weekend shenanigans, shall we? Warning : food porn ahead. Yum yum yum.

Friday for lunch I met the girls at O’Carrs in Homewood. It was my first time going there and I ordered the chicken salad and fruit plate. The chicken salad was great and came with like 6 different types of crackers. And the fruit? Best fruit plate ever!!! There were grapes, oranges, grapefruit, strawberries, cinnamon bananas, banana chips, raisins, plums, peaches, kiwi, mango, cantaloupe, honeydew and maybe even some other stuff. Amazing.

Friday evening Chris and I stopped by an event at the cigar lounge, then ordered some Chinese food to take home. I got the egg drop soup and a side of fried rice.

Saturday morning I cleaned the house, then we headed to some pawn shops. I ordered Chris’s birthday present online and it came Friday afternoon. I got him a new DJ controller with lots of fancy crap that he was super excited about. He decided that he needed a new amp because our set up downstairs doesn’t fully support it. Nothing like some pawn shopping in the ghetto to get your afternoon started right, ya know!

We didn’t really have much luck, and by 4:00 pm I was starving…so we headed to Moe’s BBQ in Lakeview to grab some food and drinks. We found a spot on the patio and it was perfect!!!

I was drinking Abita Strawberry and Chris had Good People Snakehandler.

While we were sitting there, we found out that our friends from Huntsville were in town and they met up with us. Yay for impromptu visits!

Smoked turkey with baked beans, potato salad and corn bread. Best corn bread EVER!

After Moe’s we headed over to World of Beer for a little while. I ordered a Lindeman’s Raspberry Framboise and a Well’s Banana Bread beer. Both were delish! 

After World of Beer, we headed over to Jim n Nicks for a later dinner. I enjoyed a turkey baked potato. Yummmm!

Sunday – Sunday morning we caught up on Grimm and then I meal planned and headed to the grocery store to get our shopping done for the week. I came home and prepped all the fruits and made Mediterranean Couscous salad for lunches.

And that was the weekend folks. I hope everyone had a great one! Does anyone know where I can exchange my Monday for another day? Just wondering….

1. Favorite purchase: This pug statue I found last night at TJ Maxx! I have had my eye on these for awhile, but they never had anything that resembled either of my dogs. The cashier who rang me up was like awe do you have a bulldog? I was like ummm I thought that was a pug. She was like well I guess it is sort of close to either. I was like lets go with pug…it makes me feel better! This morning I asked Chris if he noticed our new addition. He said “How did we ever live without it?” I ask myself that same question!

2. Favorite Song – Lil Wayne Bow Chicka Wow Wow. I just freaking love this song. Your welcome.

Thursdays have been a day for me telling stories from the past as of late. I really have been enjoying remembering things that might not have been funny at the time….but are funny as hell now!!! That and….I have all this written out for me to reflect back on one day when my memory might not be so great. So there’s that.

Remember disposable cameras? If you don’t, you are too young and you can shut your face. But seriously, in college my friends and I usually took picture with disposable cameras and had to take them to Walgreen’s or Eckerd (which I guess is Rite Aid now) to be developed. Remember Eckerd?

This was all fine and dandy. It was always fun to go pick them up a few hours later….and you couldn’t wait to tear into that photo envelope and see all the pretty pictures of you and your friends dancing drunk white people style to Fever for the Flava by Hot Action Cops.

Today is the 10th anniversary of Mean Girls. Say whaaaaa? Ten years? Really? Well whip out your pink and lets get to some confessions!

–I skipped my work out yesterday morning. Crazy weather had me up way WAY past my bed time. I had full intentions of making it up when I got home last night…but no. Not so much.

–So this morning? My workout kicked my ass.

–I believe in the five second rule. No need to waste perfectly good food.

–Captcha – I really hate it. Like really. Turn it off!!! Yesterday I was leaving a comment for someone and one of the words was anxiety. WTF? I didn’t need that weird omen as I was worrying about storms. It was just so wrong. Next time I cant get it the first time, I am not leaving my comment.

–I find flip flops with my dress pants for work totally acceptable. They are nice flip flops, not rubber Old Navy ones.

–I don’t like when my food touches on my plate. Like just give me a bigger freaking plate so that my food world can be at peace.

–I really hate when I am in the break room enjoying my lunch and reading my book…then some loud ass people come in and have a 10 minute conversation right next to me. Like seriously. I am READING. Go talk somewhere else. You aren’t even in here to eat.

–I have a hard time picking out stuff for my mom for mother’s day. Not because I can’t think of anything, but because I have so many damn ideas in my head that I can’t decide which one to go with. So I wait and wait and wait and end up buying something last minute because I waited to long and couldn’t decide.

–Apparently I work better under pressure.

–The next person that jump cuts me in line is going to be sorry. I HATE when I am in line at say Target and they decided to open a new register and while I have been standing in line for a few minutes now, your sorry ass just walks up and goes to the new register while I am trying to get over there after they told me I could. Then, you realize that the cashier was waiting on me, yet you still go ahead and check out. RUDE! I will sigh loudly and make a snarky comment out loud and give you the evil eye the entire time.

–I am just really really confused about how in the hell today is the last day of April already?

–Every year I have to share this somewhere. Today is your lucky day!

I have so many random thoughts going on in my head today. Perhaps because I got about 3 hours of sleep last night? There is not enough coffee in the world today to bring me to 100%. There are always “currently” posts flying around blog world and I have never done one. We can’t say that anymore after today!

All I have to say after last nights storms is: So many polygons and warnings, so little nerves!!!

Watching : The weather. Like it’s my job. Literally. This is me iat my office yesterday around 3:00 pm when James Spann first went live. We are supposed to have another round today starting at 3:00pm. Oh goodie goodie. If the tornadoes don’t come for me, it might be my nerves that get the best of me!

Feeling: Annoyed. I finally painted my nails after weeks of them being bare. One day in and there are already THREE fingers chipped. Seriously? Why do I even bother!!!

I am side eyeing you mr pinky. Get your shit together!

Reading: If You Ask Me (And of Course You Wont) by Betty White. I just finished reading the Best of Me this past weekend. It was a great read, but I need a break from Nicholas Sparks for now….two tear jerkers in a row are enough! My mom gave me this book a few years ago and I have yet to get around to reading it. I figure it will be a light and easy read. Plus, there are a lot of pictures. Who doesn’t like pictures?

Eating: My meals lately have consisted of protein smoothies for breakfast, mostly salads and veggies for lunch and then a protein and side for dinner. This morning specifically consisted of two cups of coffee and counting.

Wanting/Loving: All of these beautiful spring prints and romantic lace options. Check out some things I have my eyes on!

Listening: I listened to my “high school/college” playlist on Spotify this morning while getting ready. In This Skin came on by Jessica Simpson. I just love this song.
