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!!

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 :)
