Weekend Update

 My seester came to visit me :) She is pretty much my favorite person in the world, and together we are the goofiest duo you will ever meet. It was a  bittersweet weekend because I won't see her again until August (gasp). I am going to DC for April and May for work, and she is studying abroad in Florence, Italy from May through July, and I don't know if I will have a chance to visit her. So we we had emotional meltdowns in the panera parking lot, and then i had 3 or 4 more during the day. We suck at goodbyes :( But we had a great weekend together!
I left work early on Friday to meet her at my apartment and went to a bar to watch fsu beat (barely) St  Bonaventure in March Madness. Then we were supposed to go to the mall, but instead took naps until 830, then went to publix to get food (aka meaning stuff for grilled cheese and cheetos). Then we watched The Help, and went to bed. Saturday we went to the pool and i got some ugly blotchy sunburns because of my carelessness in putting on my spray sunscreen. I swear I am the absolute queen of bad sunburns. My mom got my sister hooked on the Hunger Games, so she dove right into my copy of the 2nd book and i couldnt pry her away from it :) Then we went to dinner with the parents. I love family dinners, and with Emily away at school and me living across town, and everyone working and being busy it doesnt happen often. Then I went out  to celebrate St Patty's day downtown. What a s*&% show,! some people can't handle day drinking, and were a hot mess by 9pm. Sunday I met the family for breakfast, then we had our emotional meltdowns and I was still crying at the car wash. Then I ran errands, took a nap, sat on my couch, did not work out, felt really guilty, went to target and ate pizza. I couldnt stay up to watch FSU in their 3rd round game March Madness game, but I got a text from my dad let me know that they lost :( The expectation was high for them this year, and I am disappointed that they couldn't deliver. And my bracket is pretty much ruined :( fail. Now I am back at work, with a case of the  Mondays. I'm already ready for this weekend when my friend Lauren and her bf come to town, Hunger Games comes out (AHH!) and I go to Bay Hill Invitation with Dad :)

Help! Blog Designer wanted!

So as I have tried my best to navigate the world of widgets and favicons and all things that go into making my favorite blogs so fun and interesting, and I look at my own blog and I am disappointed I don't really like my layout and I don't like the design and I want my blog to have a button, maybe a book tracker, a list of blogs I follow, signature, more pictures etc. What most normal people have on their blog. And given my apparent inability to do this myself, I am willing to pay a reasonable price to have someone do it for me (what is a reasonable price?). If any or all of you that read (maybe its zero people that read this?) have any recommendations for a designer who can give me a simple, but fun and interesting blog design, I am all ears :)

Thanks!

The Search for the Perfect Jean

I am on a mission, a quest: to find the perfect pair of jeans. I have two pairs of perfect, go out, wear with heels, make my legs look skinny and my butt less flat than it really is. But I only get to wear those occasionally because I only usually wear heels at work or going out. So I am on the hunt for a perfect pair of wear everyday, skinny, comfortable, very dark wash, falls to the perfect length that i can wear them with flip flops, flats, boots or sandals, not jeggings, give the backside a little lift and all around make me feel fabulous. I impulse purchased a pair of $158 Paige Premium denim jeans yesterday, but they might be too tight in the legs for my comfort. And I had some buyer's remorse, so I don't know if I will keep them. My eyes and ears are open for suggestions :)

Strange Dreams

I normally can't remember details from dreams that I have, but I had a particularly weird one last night that I can't seem to shake from my brain, and I thought I would share. Do you guys ever have dreams that you can't stop thinking about? Here goes: I was at some sort of conference or large group meeting, I think it was outside, and I started talking to this guy (details of his physical attributes are now fuzzy, but he had dark hair and his name was Brian and he was very attractive, in a shy, sort of nerdy kind of way). Next thing I know he is my boyfriend (I do not have a boyfriend in real life, fyi, nor anyone named Brian that I am particularly close with), and we are getting rather, ahem, intimate.....So next I am moving into an apartment in NYC ( I live in Orlando, FL and have no idea why NYC was my next residential destination), and my mom is there helping me and my "boyfriend" move my stuff in. Next we decide that I need to get a giant padlock to put on my door. At first, just my mom and I were going to get it, but suddenly I was terrified that Brian was going to steal all my stuff if I left him alone in the apartment. So we all went to the lock store, and I am staring at my boyfriend, in the lusty/lovey honeymoon phase, and at the same time terrified of him. Then I woke up. Strange right? I am not going to even attempt to validate this dream, only hope that an attractive dark haired man may enter my life soon, and that I will not be terrified of him. ;)
