I Might've Been Tipsy On Saturday.

The weekend started with me ordering my own Valentine's Day present:

I have been looking for the perfect boots for two years, so when I found them on Friday I knew they were mine. I cannot wait until Thursday when they arrive!
I also almost bought a Horse-drawn Carriage ride on Living Social, but decided it wouldn't be romantic if I had to tell the hubby to buy it and even less so if I bought it for myself.
Love, I know you are reading this, and this is not a hint. It would still count as me telling you, so don't try and read between the lines or anything.

Hopefully I will be in a better mood by then because it's been kind of an off weekend. This is probably why I ended up drinking at the beer fest on Saturday, (Alcoholic, much?) and I know it doesn't seem abnormal to drink at a beer festival, but if you know me...you know that I am not a drinker. Like at all.

We drove up into the Mountains for the Bierworks Winter Beer Fest, and the day drinking commenced at 2PM. Day drinking happens to be the only type of drinking I like, by the way. That way, you can go to bed early and sleep it off.

That guy in the red shirt? He carded me and then asked who made my fake ID.

 I still think he wasn't kidding, but hey, I'm used to it.

As the hours progressed {four to be exact}, it was a race to the finish. Apparently, this was supposed to be a tasting, but those tiny glasses didn't stop us! Most of the guys double up on glasses, and it was party on. I found one beer I liked, so I just kept visiting that table. They figured it out quickly, so when I would walk up they would just fill me up. It was quite convenient.

I rode in the backseat on the way home for two reasons:

A) I wanted to sit next to my man.

B) I knew the boys would start fighting and thought maybe I could stop it.

I was wrong on both accounts.

Will was too drunk to even notice I was there, and they simply fought around me. On the way home from dinner, I was bruised enough smart enough to call shotgun.

Ps. Sorry for the poor picture quality. My camera no longer takes decent pictures indoors, so iPhone it is. Merr.

Since I didn't really have a Valentine's to recap, I've seen this floating around this weekend, and yay for convenience.

1. Best Valentines Day you’ve ever had:
The one two days after I got this baby on my hand...



2. Worst Valentines Day you’ve ever had:
 I usually have good ones, single or not, but this year was  kinda lame, and two years ago sucked because Will was away at training.
3. What did you do for Valentines this year?
Worked. We made dinner. We watched Flight.
That movie is NOT romantic.
4. Best Valentines Idea if you’re single:
We used to go to Sports Bars with a group of girls or singles in general, and we would have the whole place to ourselves. We had a blast and caused some shenanigans.
5. Favorite Valentines Candy?
I love Cookie Cakes, but I'll take anything chocolate too. Hello fondue!
6. Favorite Valentines Memory from your childhood:
My parents always had little gifts and cards waiting for us when we woke up. It was such a great way to start the day, and I will always remember them as my first and best Valentines ;)

I will be in a better mood, I will be in a better mood, I will be in a better mood, I will be in a better mood, I will be in a better mood, I will be in a better mood.

Seriously BIG News!

You may have noticed that Fridays have been dedicated to "Fearless Fashion Fridays" recently. I am not a "fashionista" {I'm sure you've noticed}, but that's kinda what makes it fun. I am pushing the limits, trying new things, and getting my creative juices flowing.

As my juices were a'flowin', BAM I heard this song, and an idea was born:
Beware, this video contains language that may be unsuitable for small children and old women.
I mean that in the most loving way

First off, do you love that song or do you love that song??
I am OBSESSED.
Hubby even downloaded both of this dude's albums for me, and I love them both dearly. This song is on the goofy side, but his lyrics are pretty poignant and thought provoking in the rest. His second album debuted at #2 on the Billboard Charts, so obviously I'm not the only one that has been sucked in. Okay, so what does this have to do with fashion?

I'll tell ya...

We can all hit up the mall, scour the "it" boutiques, and shop online to find the newest fashion, but then you are a) wearing the same thing that SusieQ wore last week (having the same one as six other people in this club is a hella don't) b) spending enormous amounts of money (Yo- That's $50 dolla's for a tshirt...)  and c) there isn't that much creativity involved if you are just buying the "in" cookie cutter clothes. How 'bout we all think outside the box, get old skool wit'it, and THRIFT an outfit for Fearless Fashion Friday!

Yep, that's right!
I will be co-hosting with Kelly and Lindsey to bring you The Thrift Shop Edition of FFF. We don't care whether you use new thrifted finds, old thrifts, or raid the closet of your grammy, your aunty, your momma, your mammy...All that matters is that you come up with an outfit that is rockin' and NOT something you would find in Forever 21. {No disrespect. I love F21}

I'm in this big @ss coat
From that thrift shop down the road....

So who's up for the challenge?

I Found My Other Half

Happy Day of LOVE!

To those of you that have a significant other: Squeeze your lovers tight.

To those of you that are single: Some of my BEST V-days were spent having girls nights and/or hitting up the bars. It's like a singles fest on Valentines day because the couples are gettin' busy don't really go "out".

Single or not, I think you will all get a kick out of this link up if you haven't already seen or partaken. It is a Q&A to test your spouse on his knowledge of you, and it was quite entertaining for me. My conclusion is that Will knows me really well, but possible fibs a bit.

You be the judge...

The Directions:

Fill out the questions below with your answers.

Hand over the same set of questions to your spouse and see if they can answer the questions about you. Write your post and compare both of your answers.

Link up with Jessica on February 14th!

Perception Is everything!

According to Greek mythology, humans were originally created with 4 arms, 4 legs and a head with two faces. Fearing their power, Zeus split them into two separate parts, condemning them to spend their lives in search of their other halves.

I guess we just got lucky, because I definitely found my other half.
