Revlon: Chic
**I also got a little too much enjoyment out of the fact that this color matched my fitbit.  I’m easily amused.
**Do you have a fitbit?  Add me!
What a weekend, you guys!  The weekend around here doesn’t usually mean much (at least not until games start–which at least forces me to be aware that it’s Saturday, ha).  But this one was an exception!
Wednesday evening, I was gearing up to head to wing & trivia night with the hubs (I know, it’s like I actually had a husband last week) when my phone rang.  The bestie was on the other line, cool as a cucumber.  “I think my water just broke.”  She was all relaxed, just waiting for her hubs to get home and take her to the hospital.  I, on the other hand, was jumping out of my skin!  My sweet niece was on her way!
That night I had the craziest dreams in the little sleep I got between texts.  It was such an experience to be a part of everything even so far away.  Her husband, thank goodness, was able to get some time off (which we weren’t sure was actually going to happen), so I’ll be heading out that way later this week when he heads back to work.  I…yeah.  I can’t freaking wait!
J worked late on Friday, but I had him all day on Saturday!  Since he so rarely gets a full day off, it was dubbed husband day and he chose to park in on the couch for the day.  I ran but also ate bojangles, chickfil and pizza.  Whatever.  At least I ran. Ha!
Sunday, I had plans to meet one of the wives (football) at the dog park with her new little pup!  Our Baileys got along so well and had a blast socializing with all the dogs at the park.  We ended up staying for two hours!  To say the Baileys were worn out is such an understatement!  One of the other wives lives only a few miles from the dog park, so we loaded up and headed over there for the afternoon.  It was a nice way to spend our last Sunday before the season kicks off on of Thursday!
Holy crap.  
The season kicks off on Thursday.
Where has the year gone?

So my friend called me last week in a bit of a panic. Without really meaning to, she and her husband sold their house and bought a new one. I'd tell you the whole story about how someone randomly showed up on their doorstep putting in an offer on their house that...

  6. Love that nail color! It's perfect for fall. I'm a big fan of dog parks and doggie dates too! I take Gunner every weekend (oops not this one) to a big dog park on the other side of town. It gets him socialized and warn out so I can work around the house the rest of the day while he sleeps it off!
