Weekend in Numbers!

10: Number of Ikea meatballs ordered by each member of the fam this weekend while having a shop-o-palooza... 

(See also: Number of pounds of the lingonberry sauce requested on MY plate. looovvveeee.) 

(7- Number eaten by me.)

 (I'm writing a letter about how 5 is too few and 10 is too many. 7 is the perfect number. They should hire me for something because clearly I am a genius.)

9: Number of seconds before me saying "I want a babbbbyyyyyyyy!" in any given 1 minute stretch this weekend. 

(Oh hi, baby fever.)

8: Number of times I ranted about the lack of corn dogs during the Guy Fawkes celebration... 

(I mean really.) 

(And the British think they are civilized.)

7: Number of minutes I spent trying to get the DUMB coke bottle to stand up at the game booth. (Rigged, I tell you... RIGGED.)

6: Number of times Normie rolled onto my head Sunday night. 

(Pillow-hogger.)

5: Number of pairs of crazy colored socks that PB has that I tried to accidentally "lose" in the wash this weekend. 

(I mean, FUSCHIA PB? Really? Last time you are allowed to sock shop unsupervised.)

4: Number of sofa cushions acquired at Ikea this weekend. 

(OBSESSED.)

3: Number of rides we went on during the "fun fair" on Guy Fawkes Night.  

(Had the step-daughter had her way it would have been multiplied by 45.)

2: Number of pounds lost from my butt between Friday & Sunday... 

(HOLLA. although... this may or may not have been a fluke. We're still holding steady in the fat thigh department.)

1: Number of FRITO'S CHILI PIE's PB has NOW had! 

(He LOVED it!) 

(PS- Calm down. I used Quorn instead of real beef. And light cheese. And no oil. Shut up.) 

(PPS- Madre, please bring more Frito's at Christmas!)

Weekend in NUMBERS!

10: Number of hours of sleep I got Saturday night... Apparently Mama was tired!

9: Number of tons of pickled onion Monster Munch that was devoured by the members of this household this weekend. (Weird, yet oddly addicting.)

8: Number of times I was hit in the face by the frisbee on Sunday. (Note to self: YOU SUCK AT FRISBEE. Invest in a soccer ball instead ASAP.)

7: Number of stores scoured looking for a damn kitten tail to go with my sequined pink & black kitten ears for Halloween. (Number procured? 0.)

6: Number of Halloween themed cupcakes I sent home with the step-daughter to save myself from eating them. (Dear Madre, my butt does NOT thank you!)

5: Number of times the step daughter fell off my stability ball in any given 3 minute window... PB is glad  that they didn't name her Grace. (Get it?!)

4: Number of times that I was hobbled by an ailment on any given day this weekend... I swear. I'm 28 going on 89.

3: Number of pumpkins successfully carved on Saturday... (We may or may not have one that is supposed to be a kitten but is somewhat indiscernible.)

2: Number of mani/pedi's given to the step-daughter this weekend... (Purple sparkles was the color on tap this weekend.) (That's how we roll around these parts.)

1: Number of games of Scrabble in which I bet both the hubs & child! (I'm liiiiikkkeeee soooo good.) (Ok. well maybe not really... but lets pretend!)

How was YOUR weekend?

My Birthday Weekend in Photos

Come on Irene

This should make for an interesting weekend... :-/

And now I have 'Come on Eileen Irene' song stuck in my head...

Rainy Sunday

It rained all day today in Charleston - a rare occurrence. And it didn't just rain, it poured. I love lazy Sundays inside with the sound of rain outside...it was perfect.

One of my neighbors, a white egret, must have needed a shower - he sat out in the downpour, just chilling on a little branch.


Also mommy duck is still keeping her post on the nest... here are a few more pictures of her and a few of her friends. P.S. I did make a sign... :)

Weekend Recap

Thursday Night - Group dinner with friends at fave Mt. Pleasant restaurant, Bambu


Friday Night - Dinner and drinks with fellow Clemson MBA alums, didn't get photo of whole outfit (doh!), but you can see the shirt! And I'm not a fan of this photo, I'm sitting at a weird angle. I wore the sandals and packed silver flops - wore sandals the whole night and feet didn't hurt, yay!

Saturday - Beachin' it at Sullivan's 29th. Love this spot because of the sandbar that appears mid-day.

Saturday - Siiiiiiiigh.

Saturday Night - Dancin' and drinks at fave Sullivan's Island night spot, Off the Hook. Wearing planned outfit from this post - again, didn't get full picture, but you get the idea. And definitely rockin' my sunburn.



Sunday Night - HBO Guilty Pleasure TV and Spaghetti dinner w/ my BF.

This week: Unpack boxes, get back on my workout schedule, be productive at work.
