the weekend in review

hello all.

I had a fabulous weekend but could have definitely used another day at least! I have an outfit to post but just haven't gotten around to getting the photos off my camera yet, so I thought I'd recap my weekend and maybe get to that outfit tomorrow.

All photos taken with my iPhone 4 using the Instagram app.

Chris and I drove to Mobile for Art Walk and to see a friend of mine's show, but first we met up with another friend who has the cutest apartment that he's about to move out of (boo!) and Chris bought one of his guitars. We then met up with some more friends, got some sangria and delicious cupcakes from different art galleries and enjoyed each other's company as we sweated our asses off.





We then met up with more friends and went to Samurai J, a neat little sushi joint and Chris and I had out first Sake Bomb. They were more fun and entertaining than tasty, but basically you place a shot of sake on top of chopsticks placed over half a glass a beer, say "1-2-3 Sake BOMB" and pound the table, consequently shaking the chopsticks, knocking the shot glass into the beer, at which time you CHUG. Ha, like I said, it was fun!

How was your weekend?

Saturday, Chris and I stopped at the Pier across the street from the coliseum and walked down the beach and took some photos. It was hot and humid, but breezy at least, thank God. Ha, I have so many outtake pictures (I guess you can call them that) where my hair completely took over my face! Lots of funny faces and hand gestures as I tried fruitlessly to keep it in place or from eating it inadvertently. We then headed to the bookstore and I got a new book to read about a mystery of a missing person that takes place in post-Katrina New Orleans. I'm already 6 chapters in and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

This week has just been one of those weeks already... where I don't feel like getting dressed all nice, like it's not worth the effort. And I have no energy to do my hair or clean off my makeup (put it on? yes. wash it off? no... go figure). Blargh. It is shark week, which is probably the best excuse. Hopefully things will look up by Friday... Chris and I are headed to Mobile for Art Walk and to see a friend's show in a gallery. I already have a cute outfit picked out, but I'm sure I'll be sweating and nasty and disgruntled by the end of the night after walking around in what will probably be 90° weather with 7584% humidity even at 10 o'clock at night. Oh well, if I get drunk enough on the free wine at the galleries I won't care! Haha, I'm not a drunkard, I swear! Just a wine-o.

goals: july

I'm starting a new little habit of making a list of goals to accomplish in a month's time. I started last month, just to see how it'd go, and even though I didn't really stick to it, I actually got close to accomplishing some and I think having the goals in mind really helped! So here are my goals for July:

1. lose 5lbs (get down to 155lbs)

2. blog 3x a week (12 times for the month)

3. no bingeing (especially with Chris' birthday and the 4th this month, it'll be difficult)

4. sketch/brainstorm more ideas for an etsy store (come up with a name)

5. set date to open said etsy store

6. bake something yummy (healthy a plus!) at least twice

7. explore a new part of town

8. pay off credit card

9. work with Chris on doing our first screen-print

10. no "new" clothes (thrifting/etsy okay, in moderation)
