Hello? Is this thing on? *Knocks on computer screen.*
Did y'all miss me on Friday? I didn't post my vlog Friday post or my Fun Friday so I figured I'd let you in on what I've been up to! Last week was kind of hectic so I didn't get a chance to get some of my regular posting in and then on Saturday I slaved at my parents house, prepping it for their open house next weekend. They're hoping to move to North Carolina, where my dad's found a new job, by the summer. Fingers crossed their house sells in the next few months! I was tasked with the lovely job of re-staining all the trim work. ALL OF IT. So, on my hands and knees I went and by 4:00pm, I had only conquered the top floor of the house. Damn. Guess I'll be back at it next weekend.
Saturday night, we attended a reception for a couple of friends that had eloped in January. Their family really wanted to celebrate so Kev and I went, did the Electric Slide, drank punch (which was probably spiked) and came on home. We crashed Saturday night around 11:00 like the old fogies we are.
Sunday morning we slept in until 10, which felt amazing and then got right to work. Housecleaning, grocery shopping, gym, and then finally, dinner at my parent's house since my aunts were in town. It was definitely a whirlwind weekend and I hate when they fly by so quickly.
Weekends like this make me wish I hadn't given up alcohol for lent. Does that make me sound like an alcoholic? Well, for the record, I'm not, it just seemed like every little thing got under my skin. My closet came crashing down on me, our storage room is bursting at the seams and there just didn't seem to be enough hours in the day for everything I needed to get done. None of those reasons sound like cause for a mental breakdown but lo and behold, I fell apart. My poor husband probably thinks I'm a lunatic. Damn, now I'll have to make cookies or something to make up for it. Well, that actually sound like a win/win to me though. ;)

Happy Monday everyone!

I give you credit for giving up alcohol for Lent. That glass of wine after a crappy day is a life saver for me sometimes!
Sounds like a wonderful and busy weekend!! I love your new design...so bright and colorful!
Love the new layout!
And I totally feel you on the 'giving up something for Lent that you wish you hadn't'... all I keep asking myself is "Is it over yet?" haha
I wish I hadn't given up desserts for lent. I made a batch of cookies and I can't even eat them!
Also, on Saturday a container of almonds fell off the fridge when I opened the door and flew EVERYWHERE. I was finding them for hours. SO annoying.
1. You gave up alcohol for Lent?? Crazy lady.
2. Loooove the new layout! I want to revamp my blog.
3. When am I gonna hear you say "Emily" in that cute lil accent of yours?
4. There is no number 4...hi :)
It's hard to not drink AT ALL when you're used to a drink or two every now and then. But keep up the good work!
P.S. Love the new layout!
