weekend update

I did a whole lot of nothing this weekend, so this is going to be the most random post ever...but at least I took pictures!

(if you follow me on intsagram, most of these will be a repeat. sorry!)

Started off Saturday morning with a little cleaning and decorating! I would do a house tour, but it's a complete wreck. Seriously, we haven't finished unpacking. We moved right before the wedding, so things got delayed and then with our lease up in January, I'm not going to unpack just to re-pack! So I'll do a bedroom tour sometime soon, it's the only finished room.

ANYWAYS - here's what I hung up this weekend. I got a great deal on the canvases from living social. (PS - if you buy full price canvases you are just dumb. there is ALWAYS a deal for them!) I found the you're the... one at (where else) Marshalls and the other was an etsy find. Love how it came together!


Then we did a little tailgating for the UL game. The weather was perfect during the day, but by the time the game started it was soooo cold. We were joking around before the game that if they went to a bowl game in DC we would go. By halftime I veto'd that. If I couldn't sit through a game in 50 degree weather I would DIE in a game in late December at Fed Ex field. SO COLD! Back to regular programming - they won the game but BARELY and just at the end. To pass the time spent while losing, we had a dance party. What, you don't do this at football games?

Blaise looks super awesome in my bow sunglasses, don't you think?

After the win, A wanted to go out and celebrate. It's not my team, so I wasn't in the oh my gosh WE WON mindset, so I opted to stay home and snuggle with Bowden, a good book and lifetime movies.

It may be that I am getting old, but this was SO MUCH BETTER than going to a smokey bar and standing up for three hours. MUCH BETTER.

Sunday we were lazy bums and watched football all day. The only productive things I did were making Bowden another shirt and painting my nails. I am so boring.


Love this color - Beyond Cozy by Essie. Reminds me of the Platinum Jack Rogers...silver in some light and gold in others. Perfect holiday color!
 
Now, this has nothing to do with my weekend, and most of you will tune out here, but I had to share because of how mad this makes me.
 
FSU is a one-loss team. YES, it was to a shitty school that wasn't even ranked, but it was by one measly little point and it was an away game. So why in the WORLD are we ranked number 10 behind THREE two loss teams?! I just know that even if we were undefeated, we'd still be there. (I should be happy because my alma mater is doing pretty well, geaux tigers, but my heart belongs to FSU so I can't be happy.)
 

I am choosing to believe in this poll currently. It's much prettier.
 
That's all I've got today. A and I (and Bowden) are off to Houston after I get off work today for Thanksgiving. Perks of working from home, I can just work there tomorrow and Wednesday.
 
Adios muchachos!
 
PS - linking up today!

a tutorial on this gorgeous tuesday

It's way too pretty outside to be working today! Thanking my lucky stars that I work from home and have the perfect excuse to frequent the sunshine today. Puppies gotta pee, yo!

[And I already broke my blogging-every-day rule...color me shocked. Friday we had a team training thingy for work and then yesterday just sucked, as most Mondays do! Making up for it today with some pictures, though. Although I'm too lazy to bust out the DSLR so iPhone photos they are!]

The pupster's name is Bowden. (Bonus points to anyone who knows why that's his name/who it's in honor of!) He's only 3.1 pounds, so it's REALLY hard to find him clothes. Scratch that, it's really hard to find him cheap clothes - who has $40+ bucks to spend on a Christmas sweater? I much prefer the same sweater at Marshalls for $8 bucks. Problem is that they usually only have larges.

I put my thinking cap on and decided to make him one! I bought this newborn onesie at Target for FOUR dollars. And they have three other cute Christmas onesis that I'll for sure be going back for later.



Isn't it cute? Good thing I have a puppy to wear it, I almost want a baby looking at this. Almost.

So then I chopped off the sleves and the bottom snappy part, folded it inside out and pinned up the sides. (If you don't know how to sew, you could just cut and call it a day, but after the first wear it may fray a lot.)




Then I sewed it and voila! (For some reason my machine decided to eat the shirt a few times. The perfectionist in my is so pissed that I'm sharing this project!)



I can't wait to do this for every holiday, now. A didn't quite love it as much as I did, but it keeps Bowden warm so it's staying on!
