Our Whatever Weekend

This weekend was fun. It was one of those where nothing was planned out and you just kind of did whatever came your way. It's kind of nice to have those every once in a while and give your planner a break! Saturday we had lunch with my sister and brother-in-law at willie's ice house.. the kids love that place because they have a sandbox, go figure. After that we went shopping for wood flooring getting quotes left and right and feeling totally overwhelmed. Geez, I am one indecisive person, which I'm sure my husband could have told you right off the bat. ;)


After our floor shopping adventure I had a hair appointment to make.. and caught a wild hair for change. I did something I haven't done in probably five plus years.. highlights. I love it and it's a very subtle change, nothing drastic and nothing I have to keep up with. I have decided change is good.


We had a little late night family rondevu at Lowe's of all places.. it's that place where as a homebuyer the ideas and possibilities are endless. It's where you walk in to get one thing and you walk out with something totally different. And I never thought I would be saying this, but it's one of those places I could spend hours on end. I talked the hubby into upgrading our kitchen faucet and playing plumber till the wee hours just because I am impatient. Thank God he loves me and my crazy ways. I wanted something with a tall neck.. I think I got it! LOL.


Sunday I met up with a friend for lunch and then we took it to a whole another level and hit up the chocolate bar down on University. It was like heaven. The smell of chocolate fumes hitting you right smack in the middle of the face as you walk in. You could find anything and everything dipped in chocolate and you can even have your chocolate personalized. This is that place where you feel like a kid in a candy store, literally. I went crazy and ended up on a 24 hour chocolate high and probably consumed more calories in 30 minutes than I normally do all week. I busted out that you only live once attitude and never looked back.

how about a giant peanut butter cup...


or s'mores..


or chocolate covered oreos ready for valentine's..


I got home to kiddos running wild playing outside with friends and this little man driving at lightning speed making me chase him for a quick pic. It was a fun evening visiting with new neighbors that seem to be long lost friends.


We ended the night on the couch catching up with guilty pleasures, deep conversation and me slapping on a new set of sally hansen nail polish strips like I was a pro.


Here's to another work week.. I'm giving it all I got!

Happy Monday!

  4. You're brave with the sandbox - how do you keep all that out of your car afterwards!?!? LOL! Where are y'all planning to put new floors? I love your tile - not changing that are ya?? The faucet looks great - we switched to a tall one a while back and it made such a huge difference. You'll love it. Even if unplanned, sounds like it was a very productive weekend!

  7. Ok, so I gotta know how long is long when you talk about the nails. I bought those blue ice ones a long time ago and was going to put them on...then, I lost them. I'm sooo cheap and keep telling myself I'm not going to buy more until I find those, but I want to know how worth it is!
