Sometimes and Always #1


Today I am linking up with Megan for a fun link up she host every Tuesday.

Sometimes: I plan to get up extra early to start my morning routine.
Always: Hit snooze at least 3 times and rush out of the door.

Sometimes: Working out and seeing no results makes me so frustrated.
                                Always: I try to stay positive and continue healthy habits.

                         Sometimes: Saving money is at the top of my monthly goals.
                               Always: I usually end up finding something I can't live without!

                        Sometimes: I try to make things happen on my own and loose patience.
                     Always: Knowing that everything happens on God's time and in his plan keeps my faith in him.

Birthdays & Bull Riding

 

Happy Monday! I am pretty excited to be back in the office today and have a normal routine. I feel as if I have been on the road and away forever!


Even though we had a busy weekend, I was so thankful I got to spend the weekend home. I haven't been at my house for the last 3 weekends and oh my was it driving me cray cray!!! Being such an organized person, I felt as if I had been living out of a bag for weeks. Ok so maybe I'm being a bit dramatic. Anyways, Friday night we all went to Superior Bar & Grille for my sisters 21st bday party. We had about 16 people come to celebrate the big 2-1 with Hales. Once we wrapped up dinner, Horseshoe Casino was next on the list. I am not a big gambler unless its with someone elses $$$ However, I am afraid thats not the case with Hales. She has taken up the craps tables....she played until 2 a.m. & came home with some ca$h!!!


I remember my 21st like it was yesterday....and yes I do remember it. I hope hers was everything she wanted and more! Saturday morning at my house reminded me so much of my college days. I wake up to a girl on the couch and 3 girls piled in Haleys bed. Since I'm an early riser now days I decided to make breakfast for all the girls....I knew they'd be STARVING when they woke & they were! So I decided to make a new reciped I acquired from a friend. Sausage and cream cheese crescent rolls. OMG they were sooo delish :) You can find the recipe here. Everyone must of enjoyed them because they were gone in about 60 seconds!
Because I'm finally becoming dedicated, I went for a morning run. It felt so good to know that I ran not only because I felt fat after Friday night but because I "needed" to. The rest of the day consisted of Target, Cavenders(for my cowboy :), and lunch. We ate lunch at a local resturant and known to most of the Shreveport residents, Herby K's. "Home of the Shrimp Buster" I also got to try Abita Strawberry beer. Being from TX, this isnt a big deal but apparently in Louisiana it is. People buy cases at a time only because its seasonal and made with real Louisiana Strawberries. I have to admit though it was pretty good!



Saturday evening Reid and I had planned to attend a friends wedding here in Shreveport. When I say I feel awful about napping until time to go, I do! Guess we were soo tired but gahh who does that? So last minute we decided to attend the CBR in Bossier City. For some reason I loovve bull riding. Guess it may have something to do with the fact that the movie "8 Seconds" is my fav movie. It was so nice to be able to spend Saturday night just Reid and I. It has been forever that we've done exactly what we wanted to.


What did your weekend consist of??? Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday!

MIA


Finally it's Friday and I'm home friends!


Goodness I sure have missed all you girls.....sorry for being so MIA lately. I'll give you a little bit of inside info as to what I've been up to and then I'll post later all about my adventures!

So last weekend I traveled home to TX for Reid's DU Banquet on Friday night and Saturday afternoon spent the day at his precious Grandparents home for a fish fry. Sunday I had an early flight out to CHICAGO!!!! Yes I was able to visit the Windy City for a business conference. I was blessed to have Mrs. Beth(Reid's Mom) come along with me. We had soo much fun! I will post more pics and details of the trip soon I promise. Heres a sneak peak ;)



I landed back in Shreveport Wednesday afternoon and headed back to work yesterday :( I have been cleaning, shopping, and planning for my sisters 21st B-day party that is tonight! Can't believe she is legal now...actually its quite scary.jk So between the 21st bday bash tonight & a friends wedding tomorrow night, I will be one busy bee. But on a positive note, Reid gets in town today!!! Can't wait to see that sweet boy :)

I hope everyone has a safe and blessed weekend! Can't wait to catch up next week on all these exciting adventures!

Product of the Week-Erin Condren Planner

Good morning my blog friends! We can do this....only 1 more day until the weekend :)

I ran across a new blog and decided to link with the girls for Product of the Week. My Erin Condren planner is product of the week because I seriously could not survive without it this week or for the next 3 months at that.

I discovered this handy dandy planner at one of my Junior League meetings from Meredith. Being OCD and a crazy organizer already, this just enabled it more ;) Having tons of sticky notes and list is my guilty pleasure but now I dont have to do that because I can make list for the week it applies to! The Erin Condren planners are the best thing since sliced bread! Even though they are a pretty penny for a planner its totally worth it. You even get to customize your planner and there are soo many designs and colors to choose from. Along with the planner comes stickers, customized labels, and cards. Theres also so much extra space to write down your thoughts for the week or month. Without this planner, my life would be soo much more hectic.



Here's just a glimpse of how crazy/yet organized my weeks are!


So if you need something to get your life more organized, I highly recommend and Erin Condren Planner! Happy Thursday :)
