Weekend Review

It all started with cake... 

Since a lot of my coworkers and I actually worked on Memorial Day we decided to bring different things into work for the week. I made this chocolate cake and people seemed to really like it! I might try to bake something really different this week but since my schedule is getting pretty hectic I don't know if I'll be able to find the time. Baking is no joke! 

Is anyone else obsessed with the Aztec theme going on in fashion right now? I love it! I can't get enough soooo when I saw this wedges I knew I had to have them. I've already worn them at least 4 times. And don't worry mom that's the henna tattoo I got while at the fair.

 I came home on Friday to find this thing looking at me....  

Totally. Freaked. Me. Out! It was just chilling in my garage acting like it owned the place. I can handle spiders and bugs. Reptiles are a different story. I can't handle them and I'm deathly afraid of snakes. I can't even think about it too much or I start to stare at the ground making sure one isn't near me. This thing just kept looking at me and we had a stare off contest while I figured out what to do. I also called my mom and panicked. I'm pretty for sure it's a helo monster but I could be wrong. 

The next day was at least a little bonus because I got something good in the mail! 

I've been eying these teardrop necklaces for months but never bought one because they usually range anywhere from 34.99-49.99 dollars in price and frankly that's a little too pricey for a piece of costume jewelry. When I saw his on ebay for under 8.00 dollars I jumped at the chance. It came in the mail on Friday and it's perfect!

I also worked on the outside of my house. I added some more lava rock to the front of the house in the garden/plant area. It's a slow process since I'm not made of money...

Who knew rocks could be so expensive?!? And that in a nutshell was my weekend. 

Weekend Review

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! My holiday weekend started off on Wednesday. I couldn't count down the minutes fast enough before I could get out of work! When I got home I was tired but determined to make something yummy to eat for dinner. I decided on an extra cheesy, pepperoni pizza... 

Then later that night I went to the 10:00p.m (first showing time in CA) showing of The Hangover Part III. I love these movies! Yes, I know the second one wasn't as good as the first but the third one makes up for it. I thought it probably the best one in the series. I might even go see it again... oh wait, no I won't because it's like 12.00 to see a movie! I can pay that on the dvd when it comes out. 

 

Thursday I figured I should get as many errands done as possible before the holiday traffic started to take over Sacramento. One of my tasks was grocery shopping, during it I found some of the biggest strawberries I have ever seen! Take a look at an example....

It took up my entire palm! The strawberries are just the right color, taste and shape. This one even looked like a heart. I also added to my vintage Merry Mushroom collection by getting the bread box as an early birthday gift from my mom.

It's so cute and it gets all of my bread off the kitchen countertops. I originally had plans of going skydiving this coming week but they had to get cancelled due to people in the group having to reschedule. Since I had all that money burning a hole in my pocket, I finally bought one of the necklaces I had been wanting for months. 

It won't be here for about two weeks but it's going to look awesome with some of my summer attire! Then to top off the weekend, I visited the Sacramento County Fair! I even got an Elvis tattoo (don't worry it's only temporary!)

Among the many foods that I consumed while at the fair, my favorite was probably this madagascar vanilla bean gelato. Pure amazingness!

And that kids is how you spend a memorial day weekend!

Memorial Day Weekend

Hey folks! Hope all of you had a fabulous Memorial Day Weekend. I spent mine enjoying some time off and getting my tan on. I don't know about your cities but in mine it was hot and when I say hot, I mean in the 90's and major humidity. 

Thank goodness for a  huge pool. I was able to relax and cool off when the heat just became too much. 

 

I also took advantage of the Memorial Day sale at one of my favorite online stores and got this little beauty...

It's from Le Mode and it's called the Egyptian Goddess Necklace. I can't wait to get it and wear it! I have two weddings coming up and bridal shower so I have plans for this beauty! When I was done shopping the sales online, I hung out with my favorite (only) guinea pig.. Frosty.  She says "Hello" to everyone out there in internet land. 

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. I don't know about everyone else but the summer months are always the busiest for me. 

The biggest necklace I've ever seen.

So I might be the last person to still watch this show, but every week we watch Celebrity Apprentice.

Maybe it's because I watch and wait to see if his hair piece falls off. I also like it when the celebrities get at each other's throats and start fighting. It's pretty awesome. I still remember the huge fight that Meatloaf got into with Gary Busey! lol

Anyways, this season is NOT disappointing and in this past week's episode, I fell in love with something I saw on the show. This necklace...

Even though it's Aubrey O'Day.. (from Danity Kane), that necklace is so amazing!!

Isn't it amazing!?! It's a Red Coral Flower Charles Albert Necklace. I have no idea how much it really is but I suspect a lot. I want it! I haven't even seen any kind of knock offs for it. If you see one let me know. Charming Charlie's better get on that. Just incase you can't see how it looks here's a full photo of it...

I know it's huge but that's what a statement piece is. It makes a statement. I'm poor though and would never be able to pay the huge price tag to only be able to wear it a handful of times. So I'll continue to lust after this necklace and crossing my fingers on winning the lottery. Ha!
