Swap Miami

Image
So this past Saturday I went to one of the coolest events ever! It was called Swap Miami. Basically you bring all your unwanted clothes and they give you a token value to use as your "money" Then you enter the showroom and spend your tokens on other people's clothes. It was a lot of fun and I got tons of stuff with out spending any money :) Here is the link check it out! If you don't have anything like this in your area you should create it, its all about reusing and reducing our carbon footprint!! Check out some of my 20 new outfits! I had a lot of luck. Loves

Around The Bay

Wow! What a week/weekend. I was feeling a little lathargic at work this week, just kind of lazy type of thing so there isn't much to discuss there. But I did have a fabulous week. Z finished finals on Tuesday we had a couple of his friends over for dinner. Tuesday was the Potato Crusted Pork Chops and I must say it was delicious. (I Will share the recipe later) I stuck to my menu pretty well except for the Chicken Cordon Bleu got pushed off until last night and the Pork Tacos never happened- so they will be moved to this week. This weekend I had the pleasure of hanging out with some old friends. Megan had her bachlorette weekend in Miami and they were kind enough to invite me out with them Saturday. We went boating around the bay and it was a great time. Z and I also had a lot of quality time which was much needed, since we had both been busy. I am still working on my menu for this week I know tonight if I don't eat with CC and Whit I will make pasta but that is as far as I ha...

Birthday and Mother's Day!

Image
This weekend was filled with special days. Friday was my birthday and Sunday was Mother's Day. I must say that both of these days were a little bittersweet for me. I looked forward to my birthday all week, but when Friday came around I was a little sad. I found myself wishing I were around family and friends. I worked all day, which inspired me to have a new no working on birthday rule! Then I came home- Z had a final from 6PM-9PM. So I got home and took a little nap then I skyped my Mom and Sister and opened the present they sent me. Then I decided to make cupcakes for myself :) then Z got home and gave me my gifts (listed below) and he took me to a late dinner at Houston's. It was a lovely night and we had a lot of fun. It turned out to be a great day after all. Gift List: My mom got me a Pandora bracelet. Its s pretty much a charm bracelet, right now it is adorned with one charm a cupcake. My dad bough me a new phone, the new droid. My great in-laws gave me gift cards to Ma...

New Season, New Table

Image
So this will be a super short post. I am exahausted and although it is 8:30PM I am considering going to bed. oh the joys of growing up. Today is the beginning of my Birthday Week So to get the celebration started. I got a new table decor coming- it's a May Flowers/Cinco De Mayo theme. Let me know your thoughts. I will update more later :) Loves.

MAY!!

MAY MAY MAY!!! May is my favorite month- I mean how could you not like May, flowers in bloom, nice weather, Mother's Day, Memorial day.... I think thats it- OH WAIT MY BIRTHDAY I don't care how old I get I will never stop loving my birthday- It always brings up such happy memories, like from when you were a kid and your parents got you a bike or a doll or your first cell phone. The parties with tons of cake and moon walks in the front yard. Inevitably you always cried about something but in the end it was probably just a sugar crash. So maybe they get a little less fun but I like to keep the spirit alive. Thanks Mom for giving birth to me in the greatest of all months. I owe you one! (well in my case a lot more than one) Loves
