This confuses me, LOL!

I know we all interpret art differently, and that's cool.

But I'm the type of person that would have said "WTF just happened?" after seeing this.

And what the hell is that sound that lady is making?

I'm just sayin!

Happy Friday!

I have ANOTHER interview today.

Wish me luck. 

This is my third interview in the last few months.

 

Have a great weekend, and check back tomorrow for my YouTube Saturday post! 

You will be laughing your ass off! :)

November Birchbox

In my November Birchbox I received:

Keratase beautifying oil for hair

Anastasia Hydrafull Gloss in sugar pink

Guerlain Shalimar Initial Eau De Parfum

Thymes Eucalyptus Body Lotion

Thymes Kimono Rose Body Lotion

2 coasters? <-- WHY?

I think I'm over Birchbox. Nothing has really thrilled me to be honest.

I think I'll wait for the December box but if there's nothing good, I'm gonna just cancel it.

I finally decided to go ahead and order this dress from Nordstrom's...even though they pissed me off. lol.  I couldn't pass up a good deal. It was 50% off, so good thing I waited! I got it for $74! 

WOOT WOOT!

 

If the above dress doesn't work out, I'm going to order this one below.

Hubby thinks it might be better for dancing anyways, since it's more flowy.

Update on MIL.

She's doing great! In fact, she went right back to work the next day!

Car is in the shop and was damaged pretty bad though. Hopefully it can be repaired.

And I know a lot of you may not be hip-hop fans. But I definitely am.

I was sad to hear about Heavy D passing.

 

He was only 44! 

RIP.

Did anyone else see the SNL Kardashian skit?

Hilarious!

Ornament Swap!

Have I mentioned how much I love blog swaps? If you know of any, please drop me a line and let me know! I am currently signed up for 2. I blogged about the nail polish swap- which the deadline to sign up is this Wednesday, 11/9! 

And now there's an ornament swap going on!

YAY!

 Go sign up!

 This weekend is going to be hectic!

I have to go to Atlanta for my friend's kid's 1st birthday party.

Aren't they adorable!

And then rush back to get ready for my first book club that I am hosting that evening!

Our first book is The Upside of the Downlow.

It's a memoir of a pastor's wife.

Turns out her husband was cheating..with women..and men. He then committed suicide.

But it's not about bashing him. It's about how God helped her overcome all of the struggles she went through because of that situation. And, the author is actually coming over! YAY!

I am so proud of Yolanda for writing this. I am sure she went through a lot. I can't even imagine.

But I do know one thing- this could definitely be a Lifetime movie!

In other news, the hubby's mom was in a car accident Monday night.

She was t-boned from the passenger side.Luckily she's ok. She's sore & has whiplash.

We'll find out more after they do additional testing.If you pray, please send a prayer up for my MIL.

And finally, to end this with a laugh...Hubby gave me this and said it reminded him of us because it's half & half ice cream. LOL! Gotta love him!

Weekend Recap

Friday night hubby & I went to dinner at a place called River City Grill. We thought the food must be great because the parking lot is always so full.

The food sucked. 

We both ordered steak which mine was dry (& I ordered it medium well). 

Baked potato was dry.

Corn on the cob tasted like a sock.

How do you mess up corn on the cob?

So when the waiter asked us how it was...
hubby being the good person that he is, said it was ok.

Me being the blunt person that I am, said "actually it was awful."

I did add that I knew it wasn't his fault. But damn it, they need to know the truth!

As we were leaving, we figured out why the parking lot was so full. There was a church behind the place. LOL! Why it's located in a shopping center is beyond me. 

Hubby got sick after dinner. Threw up, started sweating, and was in bed by 10pm.

Yeah, so we won't be going back. Ever.

Saturday of course we were glued to the TV watching LSU v. AL.
I've NEVER seen a game where all the points scored were by field goals only.
But hey, whatever it takes I guess!

 

My brother bought a new car Saturday.

I like her.

She goes reeeeally fast.

Sunday we went Cracker Barrel with a group of friends.

Delicious of course!

The guys watched football at our house and I went to my friend's house to snap some pics of her cute 3 month old baby! I'll post a few pics here soon once I finish editing them.

How was everyone's weekend?

I've been practicing this:

Easier version to learn how to wobble:

For my friends' upcoming wedding!

Can you wobble?

Blogging Etiquette

I've noticed a lot of people give reviews of things & then say "I was not compensated for this." Or when people leave their email addresses in comments, they always do it as follows: lawtonlane (at) (gmail) dot (com). Or something similar to that. Can someone explain this to me?

 

Are yall ready for the weekend yet? 

I am meeting with a bride about shooting her wedding next year, watching the LSU v. AL game, &I have a photoshoot Sunday.  I reallllly hope LSU wins!

Have your towns already started with the Christmas music & decor? 

We have a local radio station that typically plays only Christmas music from thanksgiving to Christmas.

This Year? 

They started ON Halloween! Say what?

Don't get me wrong, I love the holidays! It's my favorite time of year.

But dang, we need to get through one holiday before we skip to Christmas!

Guess what!

There's anther blog swap gong on!

(Thanks to Jess for letting me know!)

This time it's a nail polish swap.

 

I always have french tips so the colors would be for my toes!

My favorites colors are pinks, reds, burgundys, dark gun metal colors, & sparkley colors.
