weekend recap! (image heavy!)

so ill start off on wednesday... that night i went to my parents' house back in hohenwald. kicking off the christmas visit and all that jazz. here i am in the bathroom. thrilling, no?

i spent most of the evening just hanging out with baby G, watching tv/movies and things that i dont get to do while i'm at my own house. i especially love You've Got Mail and i watched it from start to finish without looking away. (here's fat baby G just ~chillin on the ottoman with Lacey...) Lacey is mom's shih-tzu... she pretty much hates Georgia haha


i proceeded to take a TON of photos of G while she was sleeping. she slept the entire time basically. well, when she WASN'T sleeping, she was running around like a mad woman. serious polar opposites.



this is her camping out in front of the christmas tree and waiting on santa.


her tongue will NOT stay in her mouth while she sleeps. its quite funny how it just pokes out. it gets all dry and crispy from the air... kind of like my mouth when i sleep with it open. too much info? probably. ha moving on! heres what i wore on christmas with my family.... heyyyy jessica mcclintock! i seriously love this dress. so so so so much.

outfit details:
dress: jessica mcclintock ($140)
cardigan: forever 21 ($30)
headband: same dang headband i wear in EVERY post!

we went out to my nana's house and who would've known... santa showed up! haha the little kids lovedddd it. mom played santa's little helper (sorry for the less-than-flattering photo, mom!) thats my sweet nana in the background.

every grandchild had to sit on santa's lap. it was quite humorous. this is my cousin amy. she's 8 months pregnant. crazy! look how different we are.


mike came over to my grandmother's from his parents' house about an hour away. i introduced him to everyone and he actually already knew one of my aunts and my cousin. i had totally forgotten we had gone out on the boat 3 years ago with them! crazy! we all played dirty santa (i snagged a fantastttttic cranberry candle, and mike got chutes & ladders but gave it to my little cousin kaylie) and then we headed home. my parents' went to robert's family christmas and i stayed home with mike so we could hang out, he had to leave soon anyway. he gave me my present and it was a fantastic ipod/iphone dock/charger/alarm deal. the sound is INCREDIBLE and i've been using it nonstop. after he left i turned my music up on it and i cleaned my parents' entire house. just to show a little gratitude for me staying there (i didnt get out of my pajamas at all on christmas eve so i didnt want to take advantage of their hospiality, etc). i slept and headed back to franklin saturday morning.

and some more candids of Georgia on the drive home. what can i say, i'm a proud mama!

mike met me at the house shortly after and he sat up my new computer screen/tv! look how tiny it makes my 17" macbook pro look! im in love!

after this we ate some yummy vegan spring rolls and lo mein, hung around for a bit, watched Glee and then i went to work. work was okay.. nothing major. i came home and of course mike was up in bed playing xbox haha.

and more sleeping beast...


yesterday we got up and got dressed and took G to the dog park. it was FREEZING. we had slush drinks from Sonic and i didnt even take a coat. luckily Mike had a hoodie in my car. bleh!

my new york city taxicab and my sailboat came in the mail! yay! my charm bracelet is almost full!

we ran errands, got zero some mice to eat (my snake), had a yummy italian lunch at Carrabba's, went to walmart, did all that jazz, then we came home to just kick it for a while. watched silly youtube videos, took a superrrr relaxing bubblebath and afterwards we cooked dinner. actually, mike cooked. i supervised. (read: sat on the cabinets and ate pickle sickles). we had spicy veggie blackbean burgers and some cooked veggies. my plate is on the left, his on the right. hahaha i even left like 3 veggies and he ate them. i'd call him a fat kid if they weren't all vegetables :P but it was definitely good. i'm glad he likes to cook... because i definitely dont.


then we do what we normally do.... get a bowl of dry cereal, crawl in bed and watch a movie. last night we watched the new Harry Potter. I saw it in theaters so i fell asleep after about an hour and 45 minutes. he stayed up for the remaining 45 mins and before i knew it, i woke up at 4am and it was pitch black and i didnt really know what had happened haha


so here it is, a new day, a new week. its 1:30pm and i'm still in my pjs, even though i've been awake for over 4 hours. i've tidied up my room just a little but nothing to write home about. i need to be productive but i got out my Felicity dvds and i'm thinking about watching an episode or two. mike left to go take care of some business and i didnt want to tag along. just waiting on him to get back so we can go to whole foods.

he's decided to go vegan for new years! so excited to have him on board and maybe now it'll be easier. its so hard to be vegan solo because cooking requires so much time, effort, money, etc. i'm stoked for sure :)

happy monday! hope everyone had a lovely weekend! hopefully ill have a mixtape for you tonight!

Weekend Recap, So far!

Yesterday I woke up at my parent's house after sleeping in and spent the day with my mom. We just hung out and all that jazz, nothing too exciting really. I slept in, took a shower, ran some errands with mom and then I managed to take a 2 hour nap in the big cozy chair in her living room. Talk about lazy! I caught up on some blogs and got ready for work. (And definitely accidentally saw what my parents got me for christmas. oops!) I Headed to see mom at work for a few minutes and then off to work I went! The bar was slammed when I got there, which was surprising. We stayed slammed ALL NIGHT LONG. We sold SO much beer, and we had to stock every last one back at the end of the night. The night was draggggging but I made decent money for the time so all was well. Several small bar fights broke out and by the time it was 5 til 2 I turned on the lights, counted down my register and tried stocking and cleaning as fast as I could. I drove back t0 my parents' house, got baby G in bed with me and hit the hay. Woke up at a quarter til 10 (hey 6 hours of sleep!) and mom had made a big breakfast. Ate, sat around for about half an hour watching HGTV and then I loaded G up in the car and headed an hour and a half north to my house. I met Merissa, Caitlin and Tiffany at Sweet CeCe's for frozen yogurt at 1:30pm and after chit chatting for an hour I headed to JoAnn to buy fabric. Mom called while I was there and said they were in town for Christmas shopping so they came by the house for a bit. Then I sat here for about an hour. So Unproductive!! Eep! Then Mom called AGAIN to tell me to meet them at Red Lobster for dinner. So i obliged, and i just got back home. I need to leave for work in 20 minutes and I haven't showered, gotten dressed, done my hair or makeup. Meh. I hope work is busy and I make good money, but I really just hope it flies by :D Hope you're all having a great Saturday! Stay warm!

Here's a silly picture of baby G on the ride home today.. Just so it isn't text only!



Oh oh oh and I got a new Juicy Charm for my charm bracelet! eeep! My little World Traveler suitcase! My lighthouse (to match my tattoo) and my turkey should be here any day now!

juicy couture charm bracelet!

so after much lusting after my very own Juicy Couture Charm Bracelet, i finally broke down and purchased the bracelet and my first charm today while Mike and I were at Green Hills Mall perusing the shops. i was oh so very proud of myself for walking out of Betsey Johnson with nothing in tow, so i then rewarded myself with a little jewelry splurge. maybe i'm behind on the trend, and maybe it's long gone, but i dont care. i've always had a strong distaste for all things Juicy in the past, but the charm bracelet has finally won me over! The bracelet itself was only $42 or something, but the first charm I bought, the Polaroid charm, was a whoppin $58. well worth it though! it even has a picture of marie antoinette that pops out! swoon! Mike kept asking which other charms i liked and proceeded to tell me i ruined his Christmas surprise. oops! i'm oh so very excited and i've definitely become obsessed!


i really really reallyyyy want the first three in gold. does anyone know if they make them in gold even?!



other charms that my heart is lusting after:











i now realize that theres basically and entire underground world of charm trading and collecting and all that jazz! man oh man! its like the beanie baby hype all over again! haha do any of you collect juicy charms?! but i suppose a better question would be: do any of you have any Juicy charms you'd be willing to part ways with?! i'd be happy to buy them or trade you something or whatever! :D

maybe i'm a silly girl for getting so excited but i'm just in love okay! :P :P :P

heres what my bracelet looks like so far:



yay! love love love!

xo


EDIT: okay so i definitely just broke down & bought this bad boy online! eeeek! it'll be here next week! yay! (and it was totally on sale on the JC website for $39! win!)
