Hot Ghetto Mess

My closet...is a hot ghetto mess! Especially my shoe situation. I bought this shoe rack a few years ago & let me just say, it is a nightmare. I love that it holds a lot of shoes, but honestly having your shoes "exposed" like that is terrible. I cannot believe how much dust collects on my shoes.  

And don't get me wrong, I clean my house, but it when it comes to dusting I suck! There is just too much to dust when you think about it, and shoes are typically the last thing on my mind when I'm in "clean house" mode. I know its because I keep my closet door open. I guess for now I'll have to keep it closed to minimize the dust that gets in.

 I have way too many shoes!

If I still had all the boxes I would throw that shelf out & out them back in the boxes. And buying that many shoe containers can get pricey. So what do yall do to protect your shoes?

I saw this shoe dust cover online, but to me it just looks like a long piece of plastic! ha!

Give away...but not from me

Just a quick little sidenote to let yall know about a give away.

I just started following a new blog: Jassi's Girl. She is hosting a $15 visa gift card give away! She has a cute new blog...so be sure to follow for your chance to win! :)

Interview update

So the interview went great yesterday IMO. Well as great as it could. Do interviewers know that people are going to stumble across SOME of the questions? No matter how much you try to prepare, there's always a question that makes you stumble. Oh well, I did my best and now I have to wait 2-3 weeks for a reply.

My blackberry is slowly dying. I am so sad! I am a die hard blackberry fan.  But I do like all the new droids everyone has. Although I do know quite a few people who have droids with cracked screens bc they dropped them & they can't afford to pay the fee to replace them (even with insurance). So I am debating on what type of phone to get.  I'm with T-mobile so my choices are limited. What's your favorite phone? Does anyone have the HTC driod? That's the one I'm leaning towards.

I can't believe Christmas is about 4 months away! I have GOT to start shopping now. I say that every year but I really want to be prepared this year. I am thinking about getting my brother a nice watch case. I'd like to get him something personalized and "manly." lol! I was thinking of something like this:

For the hubby, I definitely want to get him some Vibrams. I know they are HIDEOUS but everyone says they are the most comfortable shoes. Do you know anyone who has these? My brother & several friends have them & they all say they are the most comfortable shoes ever. I'd probably get an all black pair so it wouldn't be too obvious!

Lots to do before the holidays!

Before I go, don't forget to check out my friend's blog! Mike is a HILARIOUS writer! Just depends on your sense of humor.

New Job...maybe?

I received the MOST exciting news today! It was typical Monday at work until I received an email saying I had been selected for a job interview for this Wednesday. I am beyond thrilled. I have been in the same department and the same position for almost 8 years. Which means I am ready for a change!

So after work I went straight to the mall to pick out a new dress & heels. I went home and dyed my Vegas blonde back to dark brown. Now I am working on my resume but my printer wont work! AGHH! So I will be making a visit to Fedex tomorrow to use their printers. How annoying!

I have a serious question though, is it inappropriate to NOT wear pantyhose in the summer? It is SO hot & humid here and thought of wearing hose already has me sweating! I can always take them off after the interview, but I am considering not even wearing them. I see executives walking around in dress suits with no hose all summer long so I am torn on this issue. What do you think?  I am leaning towards just-wear-them-and-stop-whining-and-take-them-off-afterwards.

I did google this topic and can't get a definite answer. Literally everywhere I searched, the answers varied. Thoughts?

weekend recap

How was everyone's weekend? I had a fabulous weekend with friends & fam.

Friday, the hubby & I stayed in and redboxed 2 movies:

Jumping the Broom

I loved the cast and loved this movie!

Unknown

You can't go wrong with Liam Neeson! This was very suspenseful!

Saturday my friend Shae hosted a dinner party. I forgot my camera so I have absolutely no pictures! But we ate good, drank good, & had a fabulous time!

Sunday, me, my sis-in-law, & my friends Lisa & Shae decided to take a mini road trip to Warm Springs, GA. We went a little dress boutique and did some serious shopping. They had dresses for less than $20 & accessories for less than $2.50. 

Shopping worked up an appetite so we grabbed a quick lunch at a little place & noticed there were bags of water with pennies hanging in them. We asked the employees what that was about & they told us it kept flies away! Say what? So of course I came home & googled this theory and there are many links about this.

While we were there a man approached us and told us there was a new winery down the street & they were having free wine tastings! We were so excited to learn there's a winery only 30 minutes away from us!

 The lotus pond in front of the winery!

It just opened in February and it's small, but it was so worth the visit! We enjoyed some great wine and great conversation! Nothing like a day with the girls t put a smile on your face! :)

Five Guys

Thursday night we (hubby, brother, & I)  FINALLY had our first burger from Five Guys. We had to drive to Auburn which is about 30-45 minutes from us (depending on how fast you drive).

The meal was definitely great, much better than regular fast food. The fries with malt vinegar were the bomb-diggity! YUM!

I hope you're all enjoying your weekend!

Royal Wedding

I now this post is really late...but during the whole Royal Wedding hoopla that everyone got caught up in, I decide to purchase a memento.  I saw a show about this company called Royal Crown Derby & how they were the official company that sold memorabilia.

So I purchased the William & Catherine Royal Wedding Poise Five Petal Tray.  I love my little commemorative item but I had no idea it was be so small!  It's fine though...at least I have my little piece of royal history!

I don't really know what to do with it though. So for now it's in my box of collectible-items-that-I-hope-will-be-worth-money-one-day! :)

Today I received an invitation to my friend Hannah's baby shower! I am SO happy for her. She had some challenges getting pregnant as well (conspiracy I tell ya) but after some of this & that, she is happily expecting a baby girl!!

I can't wait to celebrate!!
