Five on Friday

1. After my post on Monday, I received multiple requests on where I purchased this dress.

It's called the Arizona Sunset Maxi Dress and it's from The Red Dress Boutique. Be warned this dress seems to run a little large. I normally wear a medium-large on their sizes but I got this dress and the medium was huge so I had to return it for a small.

2. Can we talk about the Real Housewives of Atlanta for a minute? Yes? Ok good. So I have been watching the RHOA since the beginning. I'm talking before Kandi showed up, before Nene got her nose job and when Bravo Andy had never done a reunion show. But this was my reaction to all three parts of the reunion episodes...

The yelling over top of each other. The actual physical abuse. However, Phaedra was awesome at calling out Kenya regarding her husband. I'm counting down the days till Kim's Don't Be Tardy for the Party show comes back.

3. Beezy renewed his season tickets for the Oakland Raiders and the Sacramento Kings. We went this week and picked out his new seats for the Kings. They kings may lose a lot and they traded my favorite player to the Chicago Bulls but I think the team will always have a special place in my heart because it's where Beezy and I started spending so much time together.

4. So Tesco the Cat @tescothecat and I have been spending some quality time together. He's always laying in front of windows and open doors for hours. He's enjoying the sun and always looking outside. Well... I thought it would be a great idea to get a harness and a leash and walk him outdoors. I don't want him to run away or get loose so I thought that would be a great way to let him be outdoors and keep him safe. The idea led to this happening...

At first he was pretty scared and didn't want to get out of my arms. It wasn't super hot outside so I know he wasn't overheating but he completely freaked. Poor Tesco, he just wanted to hide behind a bush and lay on the ground as flat as possible. So I put him on the concrete and tried to reassure him for a few minutes. When it was clear he wasn't digging it I took him back inside. Poor guy... maybe we'll try it again. I've got the leash and harness. That's for sure.


5. As of today, in this week alone. Beezy has ordered 7 Game of Thrones Funko Pops. I'm not even kidding. He has 43 funko pops and that's before we add in the 7 he just ordered.

Um... I think I created a monster when I bought him his first ones for Valentine's Day. Last week walked into 4 different 7-11's looking for an exclusive GOT funko pop their selling. When's the last time you've been in a 7-11? Exactly. In Sacramento the majority of them are homes for crack dealers, homeless people asking for change and movie goers dropping off Redbox. Please help me track down the exclusive one so I'll never have to enter another 7-11 again.

 

We're only 18 Days from Christmas!

I have a little secret... this is a scheduled post. I'm on the road today to see one of my very best friends! Some of you actually know her IRL. 

However, I'm continuing with my co-hosting duties of Star's 25 Days to Christmas! Today's topic is the Best Gift You've Received. 

It took me a long time to figure this one out. Like, I literally sat and stared at my computer screen for a good 15 minutes, racking my brain trying to figure it out. Then finally it dawned on me... my 1988 Dixie Diner Toy Set. 

I played with this set for hours and hours as a kid. I can remember lugging this thing every where. It was one of my favorite toys from my childhood. I still have it and it's in my closet! 

I know a lot of people are going to think why this toy? Well because it was fun and it brought me a lot of happiness as a child, so why not?!

What's been your favorite gift? 

Thank Goodness & The Skip It

I went into work and got surprised with a double shift. Um thanks...I didn't pack a lunch. So there went the calorie count for the day. 

I did get really great work news! I'm being sent to Pittsburgh for some training. Yay!!! I'll get 4 days of a vacation...well technically 2 because I'll be in training for the others. What will I be doing when I'm not training? Shopping! And surprise, I'll be leaving week after next. Here's to hoping my room has free internet!

Maybe you can help me figure this out... Why, oh why are old people so afraid to pass semi's and tractor trailers on the highways? I mean really? If you're going to drive in the left lane then guess what..you need to punch it. If you're going to be a snail move it over and get behind or in front of that 18 wheeler. I will ride your bumper until you move! 

On a random note, I really wish I still had my "skip it" toy from when I was a kid. That thing was a major work out and it kept track of how many turns you did!
