Lately

What a week! Despite how busy I've been all week with work, Will being out of town for a couple of days, and plans with friends, I was up at 6am this morning. I am that excited to go to start shopping the second the stores open. Free Saturday morning + unexpected work bonus + it finally feeling like fall = perfect excuse to spend hours in Home Goods and Target. And the grocery store. I think Holly is excited too because she's running around the house like a banshee on speed. Is there such a thing as dog schizophrenia?

I made the most delicious dinner of all time the other day. Specifically the mac and cheese (cue the 2 pound portion. oops) and the chicken. Except I didn't make the beans listed with the chicken recipe. I HATE beans. Ugh. The Pioneer Woman was behind this meal, as usual. I thought I'd nailed the perfect mac and cheese recipe until I tried this one. I doubt I'll ever try another again, as there is no way anything tastes better than this!

I got a new car! While looking like a homeless person! W and I went to drop my old car to get new tires, and planned on just running an errand or two in the mean time, so we didn't really bother to get dressed. An errand turned into a test drive which turned into me getting a 2014 Ford Escape that I am madly in love with! This is all after I'd already paid for the new tires on my old car. Only me...

And a PS- why do I still look so huge next to an SUV? #6footproblems. Here's a better view.

I bought a cheap curling wand from Target, and it's love. I know I'm late to the game on this one, but I had no idea those things were that great. It's really helped me not to look like I just rolled out of bed, without spending too much time in the mirror.

That's all for now! Happy Weekend!
