Good morning Monday!

I had the most relaxing weekend, in a long time (and probably will be FOR a long time!) Poor FI (who actually has 10 hr/day job) spent his weekend helping a buddy move but thats what you get when all your friends are rugby alumni!

I ordered a few things from Banana Republic with that great %15 Spring items discount (its over now) and free shipping.
I tried this skirt on in the store & really loved it, this is the skirt that I will probably wear everyday, great quality.


Ordered this neutral wrap, I thought it would be a great thing over tanks, when the weather does get chilly or just hanging around the house (or FI's house who has a permanently 68 degree temp.)
I also ordered the cork thongs, I discovered these & thought they would be perfect for dressing up summer outfits - and just enough of a heel - not too flat at all.
We went to our concert in Atlanta at the great Mable House Amphitheater - so nice. It was very new, very small & laidback. I enjoy that type of concert a lot better than big huge auditoriums. We brought coolers, drank some wine & beer and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Saturday, I didn't really do anything except watch a few hours of this:


Can you tell me why I love this show? I don't know, I always thought Hugh Hefner was a dirty old man but for some reason, E's version of their lives is better than I thought.
"i loved my outfit. and when i love my outfit, i have a good time."-bridget from "the girls next door"

Anyhoo, then we just grilled some pork chops for dinner Saturday & I made a pseudo "eggplant parmesean" type thing (just using some stuff I had laying around). I roasted a tomato and eggplant with olive oil, salt and pepper. I put them together in a small casserole dish with some tomato sauce and layered fresh mozzerella on top. It turned out well, very cheesy (yum!). However, FI isn't picky about food at all & eggplant just isn't one of his favorites (he still ate it) but I think I'll keep the eggplant for myself.


Sunday, I did a little "chick" reading:

Cute book , very British & about a lovely British home (hence, the title!). Anytime I read a book like this (which I love the chick lit, especially the British ones), I desperately want to be BRITISH. Desperately. I want to be so proper, drinking tea and wine with my cheeky friends and wacky family. I want to live in London and visit all of the pubs where they drink. Ok, enough, you get the idea. I always channel Kate Winslet's character from The Holiday. But, cute book, if you are looking for that British tone about family fights, relationship issues and funny characters - it is a great summer read.

Aha! Then, I made these:
No Pudge brownies, say it isn't so!


I'm a real brownieaholic and these fit the bill like whoa. All you have to do is add some french vanilla yogurt, mix and bake. They are fat free and low in calories. If you like realllly chewy brownies (which I do), then use the yogurt, otherwise they have alternative ways if you like "cakier" brownies. Yum, probably doesn't help that I have eaten half a pan in two days. Oh well:)

I'll be busy the next few days, so I'll be randomly posting when I can. I've got to run home to work on dress alterations, veil, accessories and all that good stuff. Then, FI has to move this weekend & I'll be painting/cleaning while he is at work. Next week, we are going down to the coast to visit all reception/rehearsal sites & go over my ideas with the florist. I'm getting so excited, I just don't know how I'm going to concentrate on much else this summer!
