Week in Review: FINALLY FRIDAY!

TGIF!!  This week has proven a bit tumultuous locally and nationally.


#1  - this weather might need a mood stabilizer pill.  We've gone from 75 to 35 and everything in between.  Come on November, get your act together.

#2 - A lot of fatal crashes in the NOVA area this week, our thoughts go out to the families and friends affected.

#3 - The bulldog has successfully recovered from her ophthalmic surgery and was able to participate in "Bring your Monkey to Work Day"

#4 - I am looking forward to a mock run with a twist on Saturday - Drunksgiving with friends.  We're bring the oyster stuffing and stuff for girlie cocktails. 

#5 - Last but most importantly, Breaking Dawn came out this morning at 12 am.  While I can no longer "hang" with the 16 year olds in attendance at the midnight showing, I am literally biting my nails in anticipation of the 7:30pm showing tonight.  My buds and I got tickets a few weeks ago and Bella and Edward better not disappoint.  Personally, I'm hoping for a bit of "action" if you know what I mean… (think Edward's six-pack).  And, I'm probably most excited to see Edward's car in this one - CUZ I HAVE the same one and have been getting emails from the car company for  month advertising it!   It's like I knew, or something, when I bought it in July that Edward drove this car.  It makes it SUPER awesome for me, cuz I'm a dork for Twilight (and Harry Potter while we're on the subject). Don't judge.

Have a great weekend!

Week in Review AND Favorite Etsy Finds

It's time again to find out WHAT WENT DOWN THIS WEEK. 
(non-local blog followers, scroll down for Etsy Faves)


First and probably most important, we have many new followers on our blog!  Welcome everyone, we can't wait to share our inner most ramblings, cravings and obsessions with you.  We like to keep it pretty.  There are plenty of other blogs that share the news and all the bad stuff going on out there.  We chose to write a lifestyle blog filled with pretty pictures, the latest trends and lots of style.  Please join in and share with us, we're thrilled to have you.


#2- I just saw some sweet-ass pumpkin plants at Trader Joe's tonight.  I don't know why I didn't buy them because all I've done is think about them since I left.  They kinda looked like tomato plants at first glance, but such a great idea for a pop of color.

3.  All of the awesomesauce fall sitcoms are back on.  Thank GOD for Modern Family and Parks and Rec.  

4.  Check out the insane list of to-do's in our area this weekend.  I'm fairly certain there's something for everyone. 

     - Old Towne Manassas Fall Jubilee

     - Montclair Community Yard Sale

     - Fall Festival at Cox Farms

     - Okra's Louisiana Bistro's Pig Roast

     - Kids Fest at Fall for Fairfax

5.  I re-hired my assistant, only to find her sleeping on the job…
