'Cinco By Myself-o'

I had everything all planned out to have a fiesta at home tonight. Ribeyes on the grill, peppers & onions sautéed and warm tortillas.  I even thought about whipping up some margaritas in the blender. Olé,  right?!

However, I forgot to accommodate that is spring and after about a week of straight rain, it's time to get in the fields planting. I had informed Aaron about the my meal plans and he said he would try and make it work.  Well, let's just say that the fajitas didn't happen and it's now going on 8:15 and Aaron is still not home.

So, I popped some mini-tacos in the oven and turned the tube to some 'Say Yes to the Dress'. No celebrating tonight at our house (though it's really not that big of a deal cause its not a real important holiday in my book, just a fun one).

Happy Cinco De Mayo everyone!

Ready for Spring to come...

 I snap this shot last night as I pulled into our garage. If you look close you can just barely see the sunset over the hay bales. It's been in the 30°s the last two days to make the snow melt, so now there is mud everywhere. It's finally might start to become spring after all!

But now everyone is talking about this  blizzard that could bring 3-7 inches of snow. Great, just the opposite of what needs to be happening. I hate snow and winter and all things cold!

#OOTD - Valentine's Day 2014

Valentine's Day is a day full of love and happiness (for those who have a significant other in their life; sadness for those who don't I imagine).  I was all excited this year to wear something festive to work in spirit of Saint Valentine.  I have this perfect heart sweater that I got myself for Christmas and I paired it with a pair of red dress pants that I've had for a while now and boom...best Valentine's Day outfit ever! :)

I  had to take a work selfie in order to see the whole thing.
(bonus of working at a bridal shop.. all the access to mirrors!)

**Side note story:  We have this grumpy UPS delivery guy who brings packages to the store.  He is always in a hurry and never has a smile on his face.  Today he stops in and throws down a box and while waiting for my signature, he says to me "nice sweater, bet you only get to wear that one time a year."  I sign the little dealy-bob and say to him "well I could wear it more than just today if I wanted to."  As I hand him back the device, I hear him say "I bet you don't though" and walks out the door.  I stand there in shock with his comment and I say to myself "I think someone needs to get shot by Cupid's arrow". 

With love,

Really Oscar!

All I wanted to do was blog and someone had a different idea. He usually doesn't hang out above me like this but for some reason tonight he thought I needed a neck warmer. He also thinks I don't wash my face good enough either, so he constantly is cleaning it!

Night folks,

And Plié....

I don't know if it was having my hair in a high knot or the tights on my legs, but I was feeling much like a ballerina at work today. 

Now I may not be trading in my boots or heels for Pointe shoes. But I do say that I could make a pretty good dancer.  [Oh wait, don't think that will be happening as I have two left feet]

"Thankful Challenge" - Veteran's Day



 

 

 

11/11/13 - Veteran's Day

 

Today is Veteran's Day and I believe there is nothing better to be thankful for than our freedom.  And we wouldn't have any of that if it wasn't for the veteran's that served our country for all these years.  Some fought for our country on foreign soil, above enemy lines, and trespassed a crossed seas; all to protect our country and the ones they loved back home.  They may not all have returned from battle (physically and/or mentally), but the sacrifices that they made will always be something we remembered forever! 

Thanks again to all who served to protect us and this great nation!

Adult Cereal for the Kid in Me

I ♥ Peanut Butter!

 

Like it's kind of my guilty pleasure, but it is healthy (kinda) so I don't get to worked up about it. My love for peanut butter started when I was little and my mom would occasionally get me Captain Crunch® Peanut Butter cereal. It was my reward if I had done good on a test or did an amazing performance at a concert.  I use to get so excited and want to savor each box till there were only crumbs left.

 

Well now that I'm 24, I get strange looks when I have to purchase "childish" cereals, like Frosted Flakes® or Fruit Loops® (two of Aaron's favorites).  So the one day a few weeks ago, I notice that Cheerios® had made a version of their cereal in a peanut butter flavor.  I thought I'd give it a shot since I had a coupon at the time (slowly turning into my mom; but hey if it saves me money, I'm all in). Eureka! I found my new favorite cereal! It taste just like peanut butter and the best part is that it's made from whole grains, so it really is nutritious! It's like the grown-up version of Captain Crunch's® Peanut Butter but with about have the sugary sweetness. Oh and it's only 110 calories per serving... boo-ya!!

 

So if you are a peanut butter lover like me, you have got to give this cereal a try! Thank you Cheerios® for making such a fabulous cereal that doesn't make me feel guilty when I go back for a second bowl. :)

Casual Cuteness - Labor Day Weekend Shopping

I love my Victoria's Secret racerback tanks! Not just love, but obsessed!! I've got every color (solids and stripes). I can wear them with skirts, shorts, jeans, and sweats. They are perfect to dress up or down and oh so comfy!!!

 

Today I paired my mint tank with my "railroad worker shorts" from Target. [Otherwise know as hickory stripe]. The light white stripe goes great with the light mint of the tank.  Soft and sweet, just the right outfit for a day of light shopping.  Paired with my white watch and my favorite AB floral studs, I was ready to concur the mall :)

Have a great Labor Day Weekend!
