Y'all. Next weekend is July 4th weekend! Can I get a woohoo #andanamen.
Phillip and I don't have much planned other than to catch the fireworks over Lake Carolyn. I'm thinking maybe Shay's oven baked tacos and cauliflower rice and maybe some sweet potates. Since it's a holiday, we might indulge in dessert. Last year I made individual skillet brownies in these super cute mini skillets. That was my choice, maybe I'll let Phillip pick the dessert this year. #maybe #doubtful
So what have we been up to lately? Take a peek...
I am off on Fridays in the summer and last Friday I got to hang out with Billie-Jo over some Dunkin Donuts iced coffee and then Phillip and I went out to dinner that night. Date night ensemble included this super cute embroidered dress from J Crew Factory, an assortment of colored bracelets from Accessory Concierge, and sandals by Target. It was a cute, breezy outfit to be out and about.
**fit tip - I would size down one in the dress from your regular j.crew size**
Sunday evening prior to Game of Thrones, Phillip was trying to knock out some work and I am 3/4 of the way through Dead Wake. I curled up on the chair in the office while he worked and got through a few chapters, enjoying a glass of wine in the process.
Just in case you all were wondering what I made for Father's Day dessert - banana pudding. I found the recipe via Pinterest and it is a crowd pleaser.
This one, I swear. She cracks me up. She sits at the chair at the kitchen counter and just waits for a snack. At night while we're watching tv or reading on the couch, she has taken to curling up in this empty box. It's her little hidey-cave and part of me wants to pitch the box but part of me would feel bad because it is her favorite thing right now. #petownerproblems #firstworldcatproblems
Old Navy fail. They were having a great sale on active wear and I needed a couple of pairs of new pants for working out. I loved the blue print on these. I took them out Thursday to put them on and discovered the salesgirl missed a sensor. #grrrr I had to go back and ask them to take it off. Which meant I had to walk through the door and have the detector go off #personalfearofmine #childhoodtraumaticexperience
It was off to Austin for a meeting and I packed my handy dandy Barrington tote and my overnight bag. Got to the hotel and...did work all night #boo The meeting was great though and we got out early enough that I didn't have to fight the traffic home.
Since Easter this one has been wanting time with me. She actually wanted a sleepover, but Auntie Nichole and Uncle Phillip's place isn't the best for sleeping over, so I promised her a day out with me. Just her and me and she had a blast. We went for mani/pedis and then hit the bookstore. She got to pick the lunch place - Chik-fil-A of course #becausesix and then we saw Finding Dory. #thanksforthetearspixar
And then, and then it was baseball night! I have been looking forward to this since the schedule was announced. Oh I love my Red Sox. However, as you can see by my face they weren't playing all that well. Top of the 9th it was 7-4, Rangers and Phillip was in my ear about the Rangers winning. But my beloved Sox did not let me down and they pulled out 4 runs in the top of the 9th to make it 8-7. Uehara came in and closed out the 9th for a Red Sox win. #yeahRedSoxNation
My goal this week is to make it through the next four days to get to my 5 day mini-vacation. No plans to go anywhere, but it will be nice to have 5 days of downtime.
Have a great week all and don't forget to check out my giveaway, there's still time to enter.
