A Much Needed Friday

Never has Friday looked so good after a dreadful week. It might be hard to find 5 things to actually celebrate. Let's see here...

1. 14 actual school days left. And I actually have plans done.

2. Lost five pounds last week but it was because I didn't drink one Dr. Pepper. I might be going through withdrawals right now. Hoping I dropped a few more pounds when I step on the scale Sunday.

3. Tried some fantastic lemon-cucumber-mint water, so refreshing!

4. Cardinal's game with Emily.

5. I've put together at least 3 cute "new" outfits with the addition of a denim jacket to my wardrobe. I never thought I was a jean jacket kinda lady but I think I've proved myself wrong.

Alright, well that wasn't so hard. Looking forward to my cousin's bachelorette party this weekend, we are hitting up Fast Eddie's or the wineries and then a bar crawl on Main Street St. Charles.

How was your week? Hopefully better than mine!

When It Rains, It Pours!

Today was one if those days that was going well until about 2pm after which it just went to hell in a handbasket at warp speed.

I had my arthritis medication infusion which is an IV. I've been getting stuck with a needle for every month for the past 13 years and I have rock stars veins. I'm always a first stick.....except today. In which she had to dig in my arm for a minute, then re-stick me. Eh, it wouldn't have been so bad if the nurse hadn't gotten blood on one of my fave cardigans. Luckily it came out.

THEN on the way home, I heard a really loud pop right before turning on to the highway, I remember it startled me but thought nothing else of it.

Cut to 30 minutes later.

 

My tire was flat as a pancake. Luckily I was only a stone's throw from my house but the boyfriend had to leave work early to come help. But the jack wrench we were using basically fell apart in our hands so we had to call AAA and then wait. For and hour and fifteen minutes. 

Then on to the tire store. $145 and 45 minutes later, I'm back to four, inflated tires. 

Did I mention that we just spent $100 to have our drain routed due my hair monster lurking in the pipes?

 

Hope your Tuesday, sucked less than mine!

Weekend Recap - Cardinals and Crap

This weekend was definitely full of fun despite the cold and rainy weather.

Saturday, I went to the Cardinal's game with my pal, Emily. We got to check out my season seats and discovered they are right next to the concession stand with over 10 beers on tap. We then proceeded to sample a few. Our lovely drinks made us forget all about the crummy weather and the eventual defeat we were watching.

Also, our friend Jody was at the game too!
