Scenes from the Weekend

Is it really the end of the weekend?? Oy, I need a vacation, or something. Maybe I need to work from home more but really, I don't get much done when that happens. lol.

Since I do this every Monday, it's time to talk about the weekend! Friday after work, I headed home and took Cleo for a walk and tried to figure out what to eat for dinner. I couldn't decide what I wanted so instead I went to get my nails done. My old nail salon moved to a new location that's further away, and while I really like them, the last few times I went, it took forever.  Now I'm auditioning new salons. 

One just opened by my house and they were having 20% off, so there I went. I don't know how else to say it, but all they guys looked like they came off the Jersey Shore. Asian Jersey Shore. So much hair gel and tattoos. Awesome.

The guy who did my nails was the grandpa of the shop and he had a mole that had 3 long ass hairs growing out of it. They were 5 INCHES LONG. I couldn't stop staring. How does he not know they were there?!?!? I am so paranoid about face hairs and I'm constantly touching my face to see if any errant hairs are creeping out. Please friends, if I have a random hair on my face, TELL ME. Don't be embarrassed, I will love you forever if you just tell me.

They did a decent job and I'll give them a second chance. The salon is super nice but their gel manicure is $2 more expensive than the other place I go. 

On my way out I grabbed this and took a gamble on a butter popcorn sucker. It was bacon, and gross.

I ended up getting Outback to go and ate the whole damn thing, I was starving.

I slept in like it was my job Saturday and I when I woke up, I had one thing on my mind...

I had coupons, and I got an email from the Gap Outlet with an extra 15% off everything. Yea, we all know what was happening. 

Before I did, I had to stop for a beverage.

Mmmmm. Iced Passion tea, unsweetened.

I had a pretty successful trip, I'll post my finds later this week along with some outlet shopping tips. I was there most of the day and on my way home stopped at the regular mall. I have a few things I'm looking for the fall but I think it's just too early right now, all he summer stuff is still out. I don't know about you, but I'm over summer fashion. I know I still have many more months to go, especially here in NC, but I'm ready for some cooler temps, scarves and shooties. 

After a long day of shopping, I stopped to get some groceries. The rest of the night it was just me and the dog.

Sunday morning I was up bright and early and Cleo and I headed out for a walk. After she pooped 2x and peed 3x we made our way home. Really, why doesn't my dog pee at 10pm before bed but on a walk, I need two bags? My dog is strange.

Later I headed to Omega Sports to get a swim kick board. If I have any hope of doing a triathlon, I HAVE to get into the pool and my form sucks. 

While I was there, I was talking to the shoe lady about how my hips have been hurting after my runs. Not one hip, but both, which is strange and a new ailment. I'm kinda paranoid that I'm just getting old and need a hip transplant but I was hoping it might be my shoes instead. 

I've been wearing Saucony Rides for the last few years with an insert. The inserts give the neutral shoe a little bit of stability that the shoe people think I might not need any more. She told me to take out my inserts and give that a go. I've been wearing my running shoes and inserts to Pump and it might be pushing my hips out during my squats which is no bueno,

I also tried on some different shoes, ran on the treadmill and found some new friends.

I've heard a lot of good things about Hokas, I'm going to give them a whirl and see how it goes!

I needed to get paper towels and vitamins, at Target, because where else would you get those things? At Target I saw these... Please no. No no no no..I'm having flashbacks to fraternity parties where we thought wearing overalls was the coolest thing ever. They weren't.

Friends don't let friends buy overalls. Especially when said friends wore overalls together back in the day and thought we looked awesome and now realized we didn't

After all the shopping I headed to the pool for a few hours with my kick board. Now some blogging and bed.

How was your weekend??

Scenes from the Weekend

Hello bloggy world! Did everyone have an awesome weekend??? It's June dontcha know.

One of the male managers told me that he felt uncomfortable with the level of manliness Chuck was exuding with his bare chest so I made him a tank top out of post-it notes.

It's a cropped tank though.

On to the weekend! Kev's group had a convert Friday night at Motorco in Durham. He told me there wouldn't be any food or beverage there and on the way there I was panicking. Girl's gotta have some dinner. Not only did the venue have a full bar, but there was food next door and 2 food trucks. My chubby heart was pleased.

I went to the KoKyu food truck and had an amazing taco and duck fat tater tots which made me cry tears of joy. I was too busy eating to take a picture.

Avante had an AMAZING show! If you don't follow them on social media,
you should! Kev is the one in the purple shirt in the middle.

I was super pleased with my outfit Friday but I left my cell phone at home and was unable to take an awkward bathroom selfie. Instead you get me at 12am and my purple couch. 

I don't know why that jean jacket lived in my closet for 5 years and I never wore it. I even contemplated getting rid of it several times and thankfully didn't. I really can't stop wearing it. It's the perfect topper for dresses with spaghetti straps. Now I can wear them to work and it looks more appropriate than a cardigan. I really think I'm going to do a post on "an Ode to the Jean Jacket".

Saturday morning I slept in like a boss. No gym for me and that's OK. Kev went to a memorial service and I got my nails done. After I finished, I stopped at Kohls to return something and scope out some items for the Summer Style challenge. 

There are a few items on there that are TOTALLY out of my comfort zone. One being a romper and the other a kimono.  I was known to rock a romper back in the day. As a matter of fact, the outfit in my senior high school picture is a romper. 

That is some 90s hair for you. This also might be the last time I wore a romper. Why? Because you have to practically get naked to pee. I don't want to be naked in a bathroom stall.

BUT it IS a challenge and I challenged myself and found this black jumpsuit. It looked really cute on and I felt very Studio 54 in it. 

The kimono is another story though, every one I tried on, I felt like a whore house madam. Some challengers thought they looked like Mrs Roper on Three's Company but I have a dirtier mind and immediately thought of hookers.

Saturday night Kev and I went to dinner at Nantucket Grill and watched 3 episodes of the X-Files. I'm taking bets on when Mulder and Skully finally make out. Mine is season 3, episode 20.

Sunday morning was reserved for food shopping. I did find these earrings at target that looked an awful lot like the earrings in the summer challenge, but these had a weird dangle in the middle. It was super easy to remove the dangle even though several of the other challengers said to leave it. I actually hate the dangle piece and got rid of it as soon as I got home.

I also put flea medicine on everyone and Godiva was pretty pissed off about it.

Then we headed to the pool for a little bit. If I'm going to do a triathalon I have to get in the pool and attempt to swim.

I'M IN THE POOL!! I swam the length of the pool and thought I was going to die. I did it three more times and was convinced I was dying. This isn't going to be easy....

When I was in the pool I definitely saw what seemed to be a sheen of oil/lotion/sweat floating on the surface of the water. I was seriously skeeved out but powered through.

We ended the evening with a trip to the theater to see Mad Max. I get that it's a great movie, and totally bad ass, but it also totally freaked me out. I was pretty disturbed most of the time. At least Tom Hardy is easy on the eyes.

How was your weekend???
