Monday Misery

Happy Monday! But is it really? I'm kind of a grump this morning. I don't have any outfits or posts prepared. Mostly, it's because the weekend flew by so fast. I tried holding on to it, pouting really hard... Laying on the guilt trip, stomping my feet, slamming the door. But nothing worked. Time kept moving, my Sunday stolen from me by the careless manicurist who almost made me cry from frustration. Yeah, I know. #dramaqueen #dontevengetmestarted

I mean, I did have a lovely Saturday with some of my nearest and dearest. If you follow me on Instagram, you know I did :) we went to the Overton Square Crawfish Fest in midtown Memphis! No one even mentioned getting crawfish to eat, which didn't occur to me later, but we did drink a lot of locally brewed beers and we enjoyed the super sunny day!

In other news, I missed out in buying these shorts before they went out of stock. Bummer beyond all bummers, there. ASOS tweeted me back in mymoment f frustration to reassure me they maaaaaay pop back up, if the summer shorts God is willing.

My baby sister did pick out a wedding dress over the weekend, oh and also sprung the news that they are tying the knot in two months. FROM TODAY! Now, she didn't buy this one pictured, although she would have had to take out a loan. She did find the right one, and the day will be perfect.

So that just about catches you up, and in true blogging form, I feel a little bit better after venting slightly and resharing my Instagram pics.

Oh, here's the cutest dog ever so excited about a car ride.

I hope all of the little chickens in the world have the best Monday. I am going to make today my bitch. Ka-POO-ya!

A Letter To My Pup {Happy Birthday, Ozzy!}

To my little, hairy, black canine baby,  I remember when I first got you and I was sure that Sarah (sister #2) was going to steal you for her own.  We almost named you Elvis, but I am glad we didn't because you're way too hard rock.  I got you a brand new doggy bed, but you didn't like it (you later ate it.) Rather, you started your life-long tradition of sleeping under beds and in closets, and tangled up in blankets. You really loved my shoes as much as me.  I will never be able to own a beautiful white bedspread, but it is totally worth it.  And even though sometimes you get out and go get REALLY REALLY dirty and stinky, I still love you so much.  You're the best 42 pound black lab/corgi mix that I will ever know.  I hope you enjoy your teeny tiny doggy cake & all of the extra kisses from your doggy BFFs. Today it is about you, angel dog! I love you always and forever, xoxo.

{Yes, I may be a crazy person who celebrates my dog's birthday and talks to him like he is human.  I'm pretty sure I am the norm, and everyone else is weird.  I adopted Ozzy in March 2008, but today is the day his biological mother had him and his brothers and sisters.  Happy 5th birthday to all of Queenie's pups.)

Merrymaking Lately...

When I haven't been dressing up for game days....
I mastered an ultimate Bloody Mary recipe.
I've been working and babysitting like crazy, counting down the days til spring break.
I ordered a gorilla pod so I will be back to taking OOTD pics once this rain stops.
I've been planning a weekend getaway to Nashville for the coming weekend (SO EXCITED)
Drinking tons of tea and hoping no one I know gets the flu!!! So thankful I got the shot!
Growing out my locks! It's been a long time coming and I'm getting a trim soon!
My January shopping ban is 12 days strong. Yay me!
Having movie nights with friends. Especially the canine ones.
Trying new recipes!

The questions is... What have you been doing lately, my little chickens!?
