The Weekend...

So as TDH likes to say, I'm a day late and a dollar short for my weekend review. I was traveling back from my parent's yesterday, so I do have a good excuse. I spent the weekend with my family and it was wonderful.

We ate lots of delicious food.....


                                                                                                    Fried Fish and Biscuits

         
                                 
                                                                        Creme Brulee


We spent all day Saturday at the beach. The water was absolutely gorgeous. 



It was fun watching the drunk people sitting in front of us. One of the women had a big bottle (as in plastic, just so you get how big it was) of Crown Royal and poured half of it into her cup. The group then proceeded to line dance and there were even people out in the water on the sandbar doing the Cupid Shuffle. Needless to say, the woman with the Crown Royal ate sand quite a few times. It was quite the entertaining day.

After a fun-filled weekend, it's back to reality. I have quite a few fun things that I'm looking forward to, so it made it easier to come back. I'm off to work now, have a wonderful day!

Friday Confessions

Linking up for a second time for Friday Confessions with Leslie!




1. I may or may not have driven to the Exchange JUST to buy one of the new fall colors from Essie that I've been eyeing. Essie nail polishes are $2 cheaper at the Exchange than they are at other retail stores (so take note all of you with military ids.....). A cheaper price and the fact that I was in the general area were two good enough reasons for me to swing by and pick up Essie's new color, Stylenomics. I normally try save all of my Exchange shopping trips for Mondays, when I do my grocery shopping at the Commisary. It helps take some of the pain out of grocery shopping at the Commisary......
I love the color btw.

2. I bought Cinderella the day it came out. And then I bought it again yesterday for my husband's cousin's little girl for her upcoming birthday. I love introducing her to Disney princess movies she hasn't seen yet! The second time I bought it, I got it during my trip to the Exchange. It was selling for $34.99!!!! What?!!? Seeing that I had just bought it at Wal-Mart for $22 (almost $13 cheaper!) I was not having this. I knew they price-matched certain electronics, so I asked if they would price match dvds. They do, just f.y.i., and I got it for $22 with no tax. Winning!

3. Another winning moment? Calling M&M's customer service and asking if they could give me a discount on my personalized order since they're part of my gift to my deployed husband for our first wedding anniversary. They said yes! They were so good to work with me and give me a good discount. M&M's are TDH's favorite candy, so I decided to do a personalized order in our wedding colors (pink, black and gold) and put 2 sweet messages on them. I can't wait for him to get them! Thank you M&M's customer service for being great!

4. I've been missing TDH A LOT. Maybe because we're coming up on our FIRST wedding anniversary, or maybe it's because we're in the home stretch of deployment and I'm just ready for him to be back to hold me, give me kisses and to fall asleep in his arms every night. I'm pretty sure it's both- is it December yet?!!?

5. One of my fantasies would be to take Rachel Berry's place singing with Sarah Jessica Parker and twirling around in couture like in last week's episode of Glee. Be still my beating heart....



That's all I've got for now, have a wonderful weekend!
