TGIF! Randomness

      

I seriously needed it to be friday...this week has been incredibly long to say the least.

In my cooking class today I made some real yummy dishes! We made roasted chicken with stuffing and vegetables and grilled steak with roasted potatoes and green beans. Both dishes were to die for and I can't wait to duplicate them at home. The presentation looked amazing so I am sad I didn't take any pics.

I did some shopping with my bestie Hannah today after my cooking class and that made me feel better after this week :) Shopping is always comforting to me. I ended up spending almost 100 dollars alone at Victoria's Secret. I absolutely feel the guilt right now! Totally didn't plan on spending that much until the lady said how much my total was...Oh well, can't ever have enough panties and bras.

Monday is my baby brother's birthday. I can't believe he is going to be 3! Time flies so fast. We are going out to dinner this weekend to celebrate his birthday. He is such a sweet little boy and I am so lucky to have him as a little brother.

My favorite pic of him...snuck into the powdered doughnut bag.

Well I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

P.S. I am looking around for a good blog designer. My blog needs a makeover asap! Any ideas??

Fun Friday!

Okay it's been way too long since I have linked up with Jen! Sorry girl!

So even though this weekend is pretty much going to consist of homework and work, I will try to have a little fun :)

Today I have to work a double plus I am STILL fighting a cold. I swear I am going on like two weeks with this thing. It does not want to go away. But I get to go home early and relax tonight. I can't wait for that.

Tomorrow night I will be working with the boyfriend at the restaurant. He has a full time job in addition to working as a host a few nights a week where I work. I love working with him. Whenever I get a little stressed with a busy Saturday night, he is there to calm me down.

Sunday I am helping out my boyfriend's family. They own a wedding photography/videography company called Rhodes Studios and they are having a booth at a bridal show. I am going to be there to help tell brides about their company. Afterwards, we are going to Chilli's for dinner. It's tradition to go there after every bridal show!

Monday is Martin Luther King Day and I couldn't be happier to have the day off from school and work. That night, the boyfriend and I are going to Sho-Gun. It's a Japanese tepannyaki restaurant that is sooo good. Better than Kobe in my opinion! Their steak is out of this world. Thinking about it is making my mouth water.

Oh and one more thing...I hope I have some free time on Monday for a little crafting. In addition to being way behind on my scrapbook, Lisa @ The Tolliver Times posted some great ideas for Valentine's Day wreaths. I want to make one so bad!

Have a wonderful weekend friends!

Fun Friday

Go link up with Jen!

My weekend doesn't really consist of much fun because I will be working all weekend. BLAH. Homework and work consumes my life.

BUT

No more homework after this weekend! Yay :)

So since this weekend will be quite boring for me, I decided to share with y'all some of my Christmas decorations.

  

I made this picture frame when I was little. It's puzzle pieces that were painted green and glued to a picture frame. Very easy and cute DIY Christmas gift!

"Sno' Doubt About It Jesus Loves You"

Everyone in the family :)

Happy Friday everyone! Have a wonderful weekend!

It's Finally Friday!

Go link up with Jen!

It's my friend, Hannah's birthday today! Happy 20th Hannah Banana :)

This was a year ago at Disney's Hollywood Studios

Two years ago...

Today for her birthday we are going to get our nails done and then after work, we are going out to celebrate!

Tomorrow I get my hair done. Yay! My highlights have grown out and it is much needed. I like to say I am pulling a "Sarah Jessica Parker" with my dark roots.

After this weekend, my last research paper of the semester will be completed. I can't wait to get that monkey off my back!
 Now if only I had the motivation to do that paper...

Starting Monday I am participating in the "12 Days of Christmas" Blog Challenge. Thanks Kit for sharing about it!

Less than a week 'till Thanksgiving people! I am beyond excited :)

Happy Friday!

Let's Be Random :)

It's a random, fun Friday so go link up with Jen :)

Since I didn't get a chance to post yesterday I just wanted to thank all of the men and women that have served for this wonderful country!

My cousins, Jason and Ryan are currently serving in the Navy and Army so please keep them in your prayers.

My Veterans Day was super busy.

It consisted of a lovely lunch at Logan's Roadhouse and then a lot of work on my Computer Fundamentals of Business paper comparing humans and computers...gag!

If you have not had Logan's Roadhouse bread, you are totally missing out on a piece of Heaven! Their rolls are to die for.

Then that night, my boyfriend and I had to work at the restaurant and it was super slow. Plus people don't understand the whole concept of tipping 20% which is soooo annoying. Tip your servers well people! Unless they don't deserve it of course.

My doggies don't get along that great so I love capturing moments like this:

Aren't they so precious?

Look at our plants! I must say, I am extremely proud of my boyfriend for doing such a great job with taking care of these babies. We are moving them to the ground on Saturday!

Last night I was talking to my boyfriend's mom about Thanksgiving and Christmas plans for this year and it made me think of what I have been wanting to do for so long since living in Florida!

The Gaylord Palms is a fancy hotel we have here in Orlando and they have this event called ICE! every year. They feature 18,000 square feet of ice sculptures in 9 degree weather. It seems so cool to me (no pun intended haha) and I am already making hints to my boyfriend to take me.

Can you believe that's all made out of ice?? I have heard nothing but good things about this every Christmas so I can't wait to see it for myself!

Happy Friday everyone :)

It's Friday!

Today I decided to link up with Jen from A Girl in Pearls & A Boy with Toys!

My Fun Friday will start with a recap of what happened yesterday.

I had lunch yesterday with my friend Charlotte and it was so much fun catching up with her- it's been too long since I have seen her!

We ate at Panera and I love Panera...like A LOT. Their Asiago Roast Beef Sandwich with a bowl of French Onion or Broccoli Cheddar soup is amazing.

Yummmmyyyyyy.

And today is going to be wonderful too because my boyfriend comes home! You have no idea how much I have missed him. It's the longest we have ever been apart and it was awful. I am happy that he is moving up in his job and being offered travel opportunities but I am selfish in wanting him home, I can't help it.

I took off work tonight to spend time with him and I am so excited! We are going out to dinner and a movie and then my favorite, dessert. I love date nights.

We are probably going to see Jackass 3D. It's guy humor so I know the boyfriend will love it, and I will just close my eyes during all the gross parts.

And my fun continues because it's finally getting cold in Florida-thank God!

That means shopping! Well at least for me it did. I mentioned my online shopping with Charlotte Russe earlier in the week and my package finally arrived :)

When you order something online and the package finally arrives, doesn't that just bring sheer and utter happiness to you?

Well it does for me that's fo sho.

Here's what I got, all for around only $85.

Oh how I love my purchases. Go check out the Charlotte Russe website! 

I hope you all have a fun friday as well!
