Weekend Updates

Don't feel like I've been a good blogger lately - Work and life have been very busy! I feel like all I blog about are my weekends, but I know all 5 of you who read this are so interested in how I spent my weekend, so here you go! :)

Friday after work I met Chrissy/Pony at one of regular spots, Phipps :) I got some new sunglasses from Nordstrom that I am very excited about - 

Thought this blue color was fun yet classic and basic

We ate sushi, got candy (or I got candy, Chrissy doesn't get the self-serve candy because of germs...) and then saw Mirror Mirror. It was cute and entertaining but it definitely didn't escape our notice that we were surrounded by little girls. The last movie we saw together was the Lorax, yet another movie where the target audience is at least 15 years our junior, not sure what that says about us, haha. As my mom always says about movies, "There's already so much sadness in the world why would you want to see a sad or scary movie?!" Although I like the occasional sad or scary movie I definitely prefer to leave a movie feeling happy. The last movie I saw before this one was The Iron Lady, Meryl Streep's portrayal of Margaret Thatcher, ugh.

 

Can't wait to see Snow White and the Huntsman, out June 1st.

When I woke up Saturday morning I had texts from Chrissy that her husband, Matt/baby bwown beayah saw True Blood filming in New Orleans!!! He was there for a bachelor weekend and got to see Eric up close - I would DIE!!! I told Chrissy to tell Matt to give him my phone number, looove him!

I'm super into making smoothies, make one almost everyday. This one has frozen mixed berries, Greek yogurt, apples, OJ and spinach in it. Yet another thing Pinterest provides me endless options and ideas for.

 

Rachel was in town - YAY! I hung out with her at the pool on Saturday. Looks like I was trying to take a pic of that guy, haha.

Albino legs :(

 That night at a housewarming party, that oh, was filmed for a Bravo reality show!!! Okay let me fill you in: So one of their good friend's brother is going to be on a show called Eligible in Atlanta, he came to the housewarming party along with two girls who are going to be on the show, too. There was one man filming and my exchange with him went something like this -

Me, "So do you just love working for Bravo?"

Him, "I don't work for Bravo, I own my own production company and Bravo hires me"

Me, "Oh! Cool! Do you like it?"

Him, "No."

Then he went on to tell me he works lots of long, random hours. Fun!

 

K so more on the filming, of the two girls on the show that were there one girl is a chef and lives in Marietta and Rachel and I loved her, so sweet and pretty. The other girl we were not so much a fan of, she showed up with girls who looked like they were straight out of a rap music video (Not that we were judging ;) and she took herself way too seriously. Apparently she owns a jeans store. Anyways she was kinda snotty and not nice. At one point the camera man told me to "Get everyone going" on the dance floor and when I attempted this she just gave me a "You're stupid and annoying" look. I just wanted to be like "Um you are no Bethany or NeNe so get over yourself, and your white cutoff jean shorts and purple bra hanging out looks trashy."

Lotus lives at the apartment where the party was, he had to be shut in a room during the party and cried the whole time :*(

Blurry Instagram pic of Rach and I later that night out in Buckhead

 

And confession: On my way home that night I stopped through the Wendy's drive-thru and got chicken nuggets and fries with ranch. My first fast food in forev, was delish. Oh and the lady at the drive-thru definitely pretended like my credit card had been declined, when I had a horrified reaction she just cackled and said, "Hey I gotta have fun somehow!" (And she had like 3 teeth) I mean if I was working the Wendy's drive-thru at 2am I would probably do the same thing. Speaking of funny/weird drive-thru experiences, this may be the best thing I have ever seen.

I slept suuuper late on Sunday and it was amazing.

Officially iced coffee weather. I made Starbucks VIA instant coffee a lot last year but don't like all the sugar it has in it, am on the lookout for a healthier option if anyone has any recommendations. As much as I'd love to go through the Sbux drive-thru every morning for a grande nonfat, 1 Splenda iced coffee...

Church and volunteered in the bookstore Sunday evening, they are doing a new series called Climate Change and it was the 2nd week, Jeff Henderson spoke and it was so good to have him there in person. His sermons always speak to me (His series @Work is one of my favs).  The main things I got out of last night were: 

If you want to change the "forecast" of a relationship than you have to change the climate.

Myth: Self-esteem is the cure to insecurities.

The world's perception of beauty and success is just ridic, and if you don't agree you can email Jeff and he will meet you at Chick-Fil-A and discuss with you :)

When God looks down on me He thinks, "That's my daughter, she is so beautiful, look at her go!"

You can listen to the series here

After church made a much needed Trader Joe's run and picked up a few items I'd never tried before -

In this morning's breakfast smoothie

A good dessert for those of us who must have something sweet after every meal

Finished my weekend with the new Mad Men episode, Chrissy and I were discussing how we want Joan to be in it more so glad she was in last night's. Wonder who she is going to be with next. And I officially don't like Megan. Only 3 episodes left this season :(
