We finally had a looooonnggg quenching rain this weekend and we sat out on on the porch, having a cocktail, watching the rain and wondering why Spanish moss turns green when it rains. Speaking of Cocktails - my new absolute favorite drink - Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka (straight from the low-country, Charleston area) is extremely, dangerously good. Hub brought it home and I thought I wouldn't like it, but it's not 'sicky' sweet but good sweet, like add a lemon or mix with pink lemonade and it's refreshing happy hour time. Ooooh. I could have one now, it is sooooooooo good.
Focusing on working out and not obsessing about it, just dammit, going to the gym every other day. And you know what? It feels great. I enjoy working out for the energy and self-esteem boost. And attempting to eat salads (most days) for lunch, fixing a normal dinner and cutting out junk-food. Simple, easy things that don't bother me enough that I"m fixated on my work-out/eating schedule. Although....I picked up some pimento cheese and Townhouse's new "Cornbread" crackers - what a yummy snack, super yummy!
We spent the weekend "fixing" up our place (as much as renters can) but hub put a lot of work into the yard and our little backyard. After the rain, our place looks great. I SUPER cleaned. I'd neglected our home for awhile and thing is - small spaces and clutter do not mix!! God, do I love the feeling of a clean, serene home with fresh laundry and clean sheets. It makes me sleep better or something.
We also had dinner with good friends we hadn't seen in forever, one who had recently gotten engaged and was so happy (of course because she got a nice big ROCK). Think what you may, I'm generally a happy, contented, "I'm blessed person" but I do get flashes of envy when I see my friends sporting rocks. I mean, I do, I'm sorry and then I feel guilty for even having those feelings. Because I LOVE my husband and our relationship, I want to say ours is worth that toooooo dammit!! Sorry for that, but what's a blog good for, if not getting those things out?
Back to better things, here's a family I love. Chris O'Donnell - my celeb crush in high school and middle school. I really wanted to marry him. Look at him and his adorably preppy family.
I've ordered a few things lately. Namely, the crab tote from LLBean (monogrammed and it's adorable), summer basics like white cardigan, white jeans from AnnTaylor Loft (taking advantage of those fab deals) and this Knit dress from J.Crew. LOVE. If I weren't on spending frivolous budget, I would definitely buy it in every color. Dress it up or down with a tank top.
Ummm, I think that's it for now!
