What do you think?

It's come and gone! I'm all moved in and I feel like an 80 year old now, I'm so sore.

Single-moming it is quite hysterical when you are moving and having to build things. I'd love to show you the awesome bruises all over my legs and arms, but really you don't want to see that. Or my black eye. Yeah..the entertainment center thought it would be cool to attack me. And it did. Do you know how hard it is to dissemble and reassemble a head board the size of Texas? Pretty freaking hard. Which is why it is still downstairs in the living room.

Sleep was rough last night with being in a new place so I only slept 3 hours. To my surprise though, J brought a thermos of military strength coffee to my office for me and THEN went to STARBUCKS across the street "just in case I didn't like the coffee he brought". Ehh, can I get a collective "awww" from everyone please? And...Thank you.

Le Sigh.

After a few comments from the "Keep Calm and Pipe the F*** Down" post on Thursday, I have decided that Thursdays will now be "Pipe the F*** Down Thursdays". I'm trying to figure out a linky thing so be patient with me grasshoppers. Apparently a lot of y'all would like quite a few things to pipe down! Awesomeness.

What do y'all think?! Yay or Nay?

Happy Monday! I wish it was acceptable to sleep at my desk.

Keep Calm and...

I apologize now, before you read any further, for this post. I don't apologize for who it offends, because it will, and well I just don't really care.

Have you ever had one of those days where you can make a mental list or a real list if you're OCD of people and things that just annoy the hell out of you? Allow me to share mine with you.

1. Mouse cords. Especially the one that keeps getting caught on the heel of my shoe and I have to River Dance around it just to make it come loose.

2. People who you're texting with and don't answer you for a good half hour but yet were on Facebook the entire time you were wanting an answer.

3. Phone screamers. Where they answer the phone with so much exuberance that you just want to scream "pipe the fuck down!" to them.

4. People who don't get the message that I don't want to be social with them on ANY social media network. If I ignore you, delete you &/or block you, I CLEARLY do not want to talk to you. You too, need to "pipe the fuck down".

5. The asshole who thought he was Vin Diesel this morning in his 1980's Delorean. Quit trying to go back to the future on everyone and go back to driver's ed. Dipshidiot.

6. "Fashion Bloggers". You know the ones I'm talking about. The ones that look at their feet, don't smile, hold their sunglasses looking into the sunset. Let me just tell you that you are, in fact, not cute. Not stylish. And for the love of all things holy would it kill you to smile for once? Or look alive. You don't have paparazzi. You aren't Kim K. Go to work.

7. Some of these "little boutiques". I've ordered from one in particular, actually two, and the clothes are crap clothes. And talk about overpriced? $40 for a dress that everyone and their brother has now. No thank you.

8. Chevron. Out of everything on this list, the one thing that needs to pipe the fuck down the most, is CHEVRON.

There are so many more but I will spare you for this afternoon.

Who do you wish would pipe the fuck down today?

"Oh! How Pinteresting!"

I wonder how many hours it will take to get this post up and running with pictures. I sure hope it isn't another 24 hours. *eye roll at Blogger*

I think it's time for some funnies on this lovely Wednesday morning.

This is a must have for my living room. And because I love you so, here is the link where you too can own this awesome book.

 Calling off the search. He's gone.

Totally did this when I worked at American Eagle. 

Oh yeah. All.The.Time

Funniest moment on American Idol. Ever.

He should have just done it the way Jay-Z did. 99 Problems but a B ain't one. 

And to bring this to an end. Let's add some truth to this post.

Or conference affiliation. 

Happy Wednesday!

Savannah, Georgia

To say that this weekend was absolutely amazing would be an understatement. I can't even put together words to summarize how it was.

Naturally there are pictures to be shown and things to share so let's just start there.

We arrived at The Westin Savannah Harbor Golf Resort and Spa on Friday afternoon. As soon as we put our bags down we headed to The Lady and Sons for our dinner reservation.

I ordered the Broiled Scallops, which were surprisingly amazing!

source. I forgot to take a pic at dinner. You get the idea of what it was. lol

I could definitely go for some more scallops. yum!

When we got back to the hotel from dinner, we headed to the pool area that looked out on the river. Of course we found the poolside bar and ordered some drinks. And took more pictures.
 

 Edit: It has taken me 24 hours to get pics up in this post. Stupid Firefox.

 

 

Saturday I stayed in bed until noon when J got back from the gym. This man brought back Starbucks. You know you have a keeper when he has Starbucks, or any coffee really, in his hands.

 

 

We walked around downtown a bit until we found this amazing Irish Pub called Six Pence Pub.

 

I was hesitant at first to try this place because as most of you know I'm from Scotland. So I kind of felt like I was cheating. But I'm so glad we did because it was so amazeballs that we went twice in one day!

 

I got the bangers and mash. ahem..both times.

 and we shared a plate of brie and fruit. Which was also just as amazing.

Leopold's Ice Cream was consumed, which had a line out the door. So yummy. Maple Bacon cupcake? Even more delicious!

After eating our way through downtown, I was attacked by one of my favorite ladies, Sarah (& Brice!)) I didn't know what was happening until we pulled away from a hug, I was just that excited to have run into them haha! I wish I had paid more attention to my phone so we could have spent more time together but I have no doubt in my mind that we will be back to Savannah soon!

This weekend was just amazing. Refreshing and so relaxing. I've never been able to just relax on a trip and that's all we did in Savannah. God sure has blessed me this time.

It all ended too quickly and we were back to real life on Sunday afternoon. I spent the rest of the day with my mini me for Mother's Day. I'm so lucky and blessed to have the Mama title.

A little bit about the Westin hotel. I have mixed feelings about our stay at the hotel itself.

The hotel itself was gorgeous. So relaxing, well decorated. The staff went above and beyond. They were so sweet and hospitable! I loved our Valet guy the most because not once did he ask who we were or what car was ours. We didn't call down once (mainly because we kept forgetting) and he was always on top of things. However, the room was a little outdated and disappointing. For the amount that we paid for for the weekend, I expected better. I think if we were older it would have been perfect. Since we are a young couple, I think the Andaz (I LOVE this hotel!) would have been more our style. The sheets on the bed? Absolutely disgusting. Which was very surprising for a Westin hotel.

 

The verdict: I wouldn't stay at the Westin in Savannah again unless everything else was booked in Savannah. 

 



On a non-related note, I signed my life away for a townhouse last night! Move in day is Saturday. Woo! Prepare yourselves for DIY and Decorating.

How was y'alls weekend?!







Hi-Lo? Oh-No

Maybe I just don't get it. Maybe I'm not seeing something that everyone else is seeing. But I just do not understand this hi-lo trend thats going on right now.

For starters, the peplum tops and the hi-lo tops make people who aren't 90 lbs look pregnant. It doesn't matter how cute you think you look, you are most definitely 8 months showing.

This is one bandwagon I refuse to jump on. What happened to the really good, cute maxi dresses for Summer? (Remember we don't have Spring here. We have summer and a month of cold). In search of maxi dresses, I started to compile some of my favorite summer looks for this year. Here you go:


mint and coral:

white and mint:

cobalt blue and mint:(minus the scarf)

chevron maxi and coral:

Taupe and Black shorts:

Coral and black shorts: I'm torn between the one before and this one for a night in Savannah this weekend!

And last but not least. My favorite preppy style.

What's your go to Summer outfit? What trends are you loving right now? How do you feel about the hi-lo thing that's going around?!
