On the hunt...

Ok ladies I am on the hunt for some cute black wedges. I have been searching all over the internet and can't find anything I like. I am kind of picky though. I want all black wedges, no cork bottom. The whole shoe needs to be black even the sole. I want them to look a little dressy because I am wearing them with a dress to a rehearsal dinner. The rehearsal dinner is outside so I need wedges or flats to wear. All my shopping buddies be out on the lookout for me and let me know what you find. I also do not want to pay a pretty penny either. I am looking for cute, fashionable and reasonably priced.

This is the dress. I got it at Belk. Its actually much cuter in person but you get the idea.

Kind of like this??

This week has been super busy at work and I just feel like I have had no time to blog. Plus lets just be real here my life is been pretty boring lately. I have had nothing exciting going on. :( I am getting my hair trimmed today and bangs cut. Yay I am so excited, I'm long overdue for a trim. I will post pics tomorrow probably. I am meeting up with 2 of my favorite girlfriends for drinks and girl chat at one of their houses. I'm excited about having some girl time and sitting outside enjoying the fresh air while having a nice glass of wine. Sounds like a perfect evening to me. My mom is coming up for the day on Sunday. We are having our first "official" church service. We are officially chartering our new church on Sunday and this is such an exciting time for us. So my mom is coming up to help celebrate. I always look forward to her visits. :)

Well that's about all my exciting news. haha. This blog post was pretty boring but its the best I could do today. I promise more exciting blog posts to come. Also if you wonder why I blog or twitter you need to head over to my girlfriends Lyndsay's blog post and check it out. Make sure you read the comments too. :)

Happy Thursday friends. xoxo

Weekend Review

Hello lovely readers! How has your weekend been? I would say mine has been great but being on call for work really puts a damper on things. I can't ever really make plans because I never know when I will be getting called in for a surgery case. My weekend consisted of a dinner gathering with friends on Friday night. Lots of yummy appetizers, desserts and wine was consumed along with great conversation while listening to Christmas music and sitting by a roaring fire. Yes you heard me correctly we listened to Christmas music and it was fab!! :) I'm not ready for the Christmas season to be over quite yet. I still want to continue to celebrate..haha. To be honest Todd and I still have our tree up, our mantle decorated and I also have a black and white Christmas tree up in the guest bedroom. We are not quite ready to take it down yet but I am sure we will be doing so this week or weekend. It's time to put it all away and wait for next year to come to take all back out again.


I had to come in to work for a few hours on Saturday morning. I was out by lunch time so that was nice. I honestly don't mind working on the weekends its just the not knowing but that I don't like. I would rather know if there are going to be cases or not, then sitting around the house and waiting for the lovely beeper to go off.

I hit up my favorite store Hobby Lobby on Saturday. They had some of their scrap booking stuff on sale so I went to check it out. If you have read my blog in the past then you know my love for scrap booking. It brings out what little creative side I have. I received a Cricut for Christmas so every chance I get I am playing around with it and learning new things. Hobby Lobby had some of its paper on clearance 10 sheets for $1. How could I resist? That is the cheapest you can ever find paper. It was also the bigger paper 12x12 and it was all kinds of paper not just seasonal paper.

I then may have stopped in at Belk Department Store, I mean they are right next to each other so why not. Plus Belk is always having a great sale. I can find so many bargains there and now that they are carrying Kristen Davis' line I find myself in there a lot!!

(sorry the coloring is bad in this pic. I took it will my cell phone)

I had been eyeing these boots for a while now but I could not bring myself to pay full price for them. Let me clarify I NEVER pay full price for a shoe because they ALWAYS go on sale. There are a few exceptions which is if they are cheap to begin with and by cheap I mean under 40 bucks. They had them on sale a couple of times but still they were a little pricey to me. Yesterday they were 75% off and rang up for $32. I knew it was meant to be!! Now to find something to wear with them. I have a few things but I would love to find the perfect little dress to wear with tights and my new purple boots.

I'm stuck at work most of the day today, but I can't complain because at least I am getting paid overtime and that means I have tomorrow off!! YAY! I plan on cooking homemade chicken and dumplings tonight if I get out of here on time. I love homemade chicken and dumplings and they are very easy to make, plus Todd loves them too :)

Tomorrow is The Bachelor :) According to perezhilton.com they reveal which girl is dating the producer. We shall see if his prediction is correct. Be on the lookout for my recap on Tuesday. I hope all you lovelies had a FAB weekend :)
