Marvelous Monday

The photos above are from wine night @ sunspot this past wednesday. It was by far the most fun wine night. we just all had a great time laughing, talking eating, and laughing some more.

So, today we had the manager meeting @ work.Although it started out with me waking up late, I've had a good day. Following what seemed to me to be a productive meeting, I got the keys to the store (after turning in the key test). I know the position is temporary. . . but it says a lot for the company to trust the keys to the store to me, ya know?

So, that is how my day started then I went home to change for the gym, just got home from the gym and am about to shower and head to lunch w/ mom @ PF Changs. After that, I will be running errands w/ Vicki for a bit. A very productive day.

What are your plans for the day/week?

Jason and Tiffany @ Sassy Ann's giving me a pretty smile. I always have a good time with these two.

This past Thursday night, we headed to Sassy Ann's for a night of 80's music. I always have a good time w/ these peeps. This weekend has been a long and busy one. I have another long day tomorrow then I am off on Tuesday. Yay for the upcoming day off.

I'm trying to get myself motivated to get back in the gym. I haven't been since I got back from Vegas. I felt so much more energized when i was going everyday. . . I just need to get there. Hopefully I'll go in the morning before I have to start getting ready for work. . . .

it's my day off

It's my day off and I slept until 1p.m. in the afternoon! OMG! Well, it probably had to do with the fact that I couldn't get to sleep till almost 4 AM because my work/sleep schedule has been off.

Not sure what I'm going to do today but I DO know that my mom is flying in from New Jersey/New York tonight and we're going for coffee and dinner! Yay! I've missed having her here as a coffee/meal buddy. We often will go for a coffee or lunch before running errands or a day of mani/pedi's. This is something that I will miss when I finally make my move away from Knoxville.

Here are some recent pics that I haven't shared on facebook:









Hope you all have a beautiful Wednesday. . .not that it makes a difference to me, but we're half way to the weekend! ♥

just one of those days

Today is just one of those days. I've been trying to get better. Not sure what's been going on: allergies, cold, flu, who knows? Today @ 3 pm central time will be the services @ Forest Park UMC in Panama City Florida to celebrate the life of Nick Brown.

He was in a motorcycle accident on July 31st and passed away on August 25th @ noon due to complications from the accident. He was only 24 years old and it truly does break my heart that he is gone. I hate that I can't be there w/ the rest of my friends and church family. Honestly, it's probably better that way. . . my dad's death is still so fresh and i try not to think about or deal with this kind of stuff.

So, it's Sunday Funday (just not here in Knoxville). Back in PCB, FL Sunday's were always a fun beach day and a day that we always tried to do brunch or @ least the bloody mary's and mimosa's. I miss those days. I miss the days where i got together with friends for happy hour drinks, coffee dates, shopping spree's on a saturday or sunday afternoon.

It's just one of those days. alright, after sleeping in, two cups of coffee and some facebook time, i am headed to shower and lunch w/ the mom's husband then to work till who knows what time. we are scheduled until midnight. . . but i'm sure it will be later then that.

hope everyone has a fabulous SUNDAY FUNDAY.

Happy Friday to all! So, I mentioned my promotion @ Express to you all and I just wanted to share my schedule this upcoming week. Tomorrow I work a mid then Sunday through Saturday I close every night except for my one day off (Wednesday). It's going to be a long/busy week but I'm excited for the hours, the pay increase, and learning more about the business.

The above picture is from Wednesday night @ Sunspot. I went with a group of friends and it was a great time. It's the first time I wore this dress. I wish you could see the entire thing. It's super comfortable. I stayed up way too late last night so I've bee somewhat of a bum all day (on my day off). I am about to do some laundry, go run some errands, then back home to cook dinner and have a relaxing night in. I'm starting to get sick and I'm hoping that it just goes away. . .

So, you guys tell me something fun that's going on this weekend for you!
