A ChikFilA cow, that is! I have wanted to participate in #Cowappreciationday for years, and I finally got to. I ended up going all by my lonesome, but that sure wasn't going to stop me. I grabbed an old top from my donation pile, sharpie'd on spots and udders, and a cow was born. It was a little strange walking around as a cow, but it was TOTALLY worth the effort. I got a chicken wrap, side salad, and a lemonade FO'FREE.
From there, it was time to get my hair did, and that went pretty well too. {She didn't wash it, so don't judge my three-day hair.} I like this chick because I showed her pictures of what I was looking for, she was honest about how it would work on my hair, and came up with a happy medium. I know it doesn't look like we did that much, but we managed to thin it out SO much and there are a lot of layers that she snuck in to create volume when I curl it.
At that point, I was going to a Painting Party with the girls, and thought the rest of the weekend would be spent at home. Boy, was I wrong. Each night ended in the wee hours of the morning, there were BBQ's, Brunch, and the World Cup Finals, and it was all as exhausting as it sounds. I almost feel guilty about having so much fun lately, but we spouses are really supporting each other like I've never seen. Technically, Joel is not a spouse, but he most certainly gets all the perks of hanging out with all of us.
In closing, I'll tell you my favorite part of the weekend. We were at the bar on Saturday {I was totally sober as the DD}, and this guy asked me if my skirt was a skirt or shorts. Instead of just telling him it was a skirt and moving on, I whipped a safety pin out and made Steve Urkel shorts. It went over so well that people were asking to take pictures with me, and I've heard the pictures are already floating around Facebook. Good times.
Life is short, and there is nothing wrong with acting a fool.

Sounds like you had a great weekend, glad to hear your hair appt. went well, it looks great!!!
YOU are so stinking cute! I love your outfit and your hair, so jealous!!!! Miss you!
hahaha! The shorts story was pretty funny but they actually look kinda cute jacked up like that. It reminds me of the outfits from the 70s (that are coming back in style) where the shorts and top are connected. Cute but pain in the butt for potty breaks.
love the 'do. you are too adorable :).

I used to dress up every year for a free combo! I missed it this year, but my go-to was always a white trash bag covered in black spots :)
Only you could pull off a fancy outfit like the one you pinned yourself there! ;)
