So we also stopped by Old Navy this weekend, I just picked up some plain white tank tops, but while I was in, FI decided to go to Shoe Carnival. You know, the horrible place that acts like a circus and screams out deals while you are in there. Well, FI usually picks up a new pair of topsiders and sandals for the summer, so he found his Sperry and his buy one, get one half off deal. Then, as I'm sarcastically making fun of the lady on the microphone, I was like wait, did she just say "women's slip on Sperry's half off for the the 10 minutes, from 65.00 to 29.99!!! The shoes I just tried on!" Well, thats what I get - a great deal for running in Shoe Carnival. These slip on Sperrys - great for the summer. Now, i just can't make fun of that place.

Got a craving for some shrimp and I love a shrimp recipe. This one I just made up b/c we had a lot of random leftovers in the fridge. I got some great frozen shrimp (wish they were fresh, but I digress...), we had leftover deli ham (the kind that can be cubed for soup), leftover turkey sausages from a grill out. I diced those, along with a small onion and green pepper and let them sautee for a few. Then, I added a can of diced tomatoes, small can of tomato sauce and half a can of Cream of Shrimp. I let that simmer for about 10-15 minutes, added some paprika, salt and pepper and a little garlic salt. I just served over some brown rice and Voila, some sort of shrimp creation! Its a pretty lowfat dish too and FI quite enjoyed it. And yes, those are SpongeBob placemats - as a joke we registered for them and one of our friends bought them for us a while back. But they work!





New desk area. We bought a small wooden table, painted it cream and distressed it. I love it b/c its big - I hate when a desk/work space doesn't have enough space. My good old computer and as you can see I'm checking out that long Lilly dress from Spring 07 line. I have my favorite pic of FI & I, someone random took that when we first started dating. My magazines and catalogs, of course to the left, and a save the date for a friend. My trusty notepad, with big wide sheets that I pull off whenever I make a list, which is at least once a day. My "Aint Love Grand" cutout (in the back right) from an artist in Charleston. That is a pink and suede desk organizer graduation gift - very nice. Bottle of water, check, I can usually be tracked by empty water bottles. And a pink gingham lamp, that I don't particularly like, its just from my days of insane pink and green decorating. I'm planning on getting a big corkboard to hang behind, b/c I love to have a place to put up things.

Well, thats about it, theres a little piece of my day, where I blog!
