Weekend Recap

I was lazy ALL weekend for the most part.

Friday night, hubby & I stayed in, ordered pizza, & watched Christmas movies.

I am still distraught that I haven't seen a Christmas Story & I've only watched A Christmas Vacation once.  Usually I've watched both several times by now! lol!

We watched Elf &Fred Clause!

Love me some Will Ferrell & Vince Vaughn!

Saturday I took my mom out Christmas shopping. I am SO glad I finished all of mine in October. The crowds were ridiculous! But I still had a great time.  Then when I got home, hubby & I went out to do more shopping & had dinner at Red Robin Yummmm! I love their chicken wraps & parmesan fries!

Their banzai burgers are my absolute favorite but I wasn't in the mood for a burger, but as I'm typing this I wish I would have gotten one, HA!

Today was the ultimate lazy day. Cleaned the house, gave Bebe a bath, gave myself a bath, and watched movies all day. One of our friends is having an ugly sweater party tonight and I just couldn't get myself in the mood to go party on a Sunday night.

I  am so excited for the Christmas weekend but I hate that that means the holiday season is almost over. It seems like time is just flying by!

Giveaway!

I want to have a giveaway for those who follow my blog as of TODAY!

I don't want to gain followers just because of this though.

IMO,  that's wack as hell. 

No offense intended to those who do that!

I just want to do something for my blog friends who are following me just because! :)

So there will be no "follow me" for one entry, tweet this for 2 entries, 

or blog this for 3 entries...

Just leave a comment if you want to win. 

SIMPLE AS THAT. 

At the time I am typing this, I have 36 followers.

 And only 1 of you 36 people can win this! :)

The winner will receive:

A set of make-up brushes  

A Starbucks giftcard

A scarf & gloves set!

You have until midnight on Christmas Eve to enter!

I'll use one of the random # things to pick the winner.

Winner will be announced Christmas Day!

I want to be a pilot!

We had some friends over last night and of our friends is now dating a pilot! 

She doesn't do it professionally, just for her own enjoyment.

After we all drilled her for like an hour about everything from going to school, the plane, the places she gets to go when she wants...

I am SO looking into flight school!

She was telling us she just plans her routes, calls the airports ahead of time, and can land (usually at no charge) at any airport.  She doesn't have to go through security check points. She just picks up & goes to Tampa for the weekend, or Chicago, or wherever she wants!

I was just so amazed that this young girl owns her own plane & can literally fly wherever & whenever. Her plane can hold 6 people so she's able to have a girls weekend in Vegas, or take the family to the beach, etc.

So I checked out classes, and it would cost me close to $10k. Yes that's a LOT of money, but I figure that's way less than it cost me to go to college and I'd probably get more use out of having a license than my degrees lol!

Second issue is that planes are pretty much the same price as a house. But, she did tell us that we could share a lease with another person or rent planes.  So that's still cheaper than having to buy for individual flights.

This plane is $400k! EEEEK!

So since I'm not ballin like that, I guess I'll have to stick to commercial flights for now...

Or just hope that my friend marries this girl! lol!

Have a great weekend all!

Christmas Card Carousel

Linking up with the Christmas Card Carousel today to show you our Christmas Card.

Excuse the quality of the image please!
I scanned it in & this is out it came out.

The back won't scan properly because it's white, but the message says:

'Tis the Season to Believe!

Merriest Wishes to

You & Yours!

Go link up or check out the carousel, there are some very pretty cards out there!

Naked 2

This beauty came in the mail today and I'm in LOVE!

 My dear friend Joann bought this for me because it sold out so fast the first time & she knew I wouldn't be able to get to the internet in time to get it myself! Love her for thinking of me!

These colors are AMAZING! Very neutral, shimmery, matte, etc!

I love the names of the various colors!

Especially "Bootycall"! How funny!

 It comes with a full size dual end brush!

The back of the packaging will give you a better idea of what the colors look like!

If you are not a make-up kind of gal, and prefer neutral tones, but every now & then you don't mind spicing things up...this palette is all you need!

You can of course google Naked 2 tutorials & there are several videos that will give you various instructions on how to use it. Here's the first one I found:

*Edited to add: This was not a sponsored post! Although any make up companies, feel free to holla me as I would LOVE to do some reviews! lol!

Christmas Cards!

I FINALLY ordered our Christmas cards. I of course did 2 day shipping so I can send them out asap. There were just SO many choices. I looked at Tiny Prints, Vista Prints, Shutterfly, Keepsake Designs, and several of the photo labs that I use for ordering client's photos.

I finally picked this card from one of the labs that I use:

I'll upload a copy of ours when it comes in!

I can't wait!!

This was a strong second for me but hubby wasn't feelin the zebra print! Boo!

And then this is the one we both really wanted but we didn't have a vertical picture for it.

This weekend was super busy for us. Hubby went to Augusta for his grandmother's sister's funeral. I couldn't go with because we had a mandatory training class from 8-12 Saturday for work. Although after the class I realized I could've missed the class because....well I won't post that on the internet. lol!

After the class I had an engagement session to shoot. That took about 2 hours and afterwards I had just enough time to relax & freshen up & then go to a 30th birthday dinner for a friend. I was planning to have a craft night with a friend but we were both pooped and decided to reschedule. 

Time to get through another work week y'all...pray for me!

Things that make me say...WTF?!

I ALWAYS occasionally see or hear things that literally make me stop and say WTF. 

I wanted to share my WTF list with you guys. If you've seen anything that can be added to this list let me know. In fact, I may just start a WTF Friday! HA!

First up is the Trendy Top.

Seriously, this is a tube top just being worn around your waist.

Why can't you just wear a regular tank top?

Or how about jeans that don't show your @ss?

Or how about a longer top?

What really made say wtf, is why didn't I think of this! lol!

Next up is this wheelchair car.

(I am by NO means making fun of the handicap.)

You just wheel in from the back, lock the chair in place, & drive with a joystick.

This is actually quite interesting but I do wonder how safe it is.

Did you know on Wikipedia there is a page with a list of unusual deaths?

Very strange that there is a page for this!

And this I saw on the Guiness website.

LAWD!! Can you say breast reduction please?

I hope these made yall laugh!

Have a great weekend.
