So cheers to me and all you single ladies ;)

Miscellany Monday

Happy Monday loves!
I hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I've been catching up on your blogs and it seems like some of you did :)

Today I'm linking up with Carissa for Miscellany Monday.

one.
I'm seriously going to petition the veto of Monday{and Tues/Wed/Thurs/Fri} as a workday.
On the bright side, it is gorgeous outside. 75 degrees & sunny in November?! I'll take it!

two. 
Justin Timberlake was in town this weekend.
Let me say that again just in case you didn't read that correctly.

Justin Timberlake was in town this weekend!!
When I first heard this I wondered how in the heck I had missed that tid bit of information. Come to find out, I don't think anyone really knew he was in town. Boo. Thanks a lot, Justin. You left me behind.

three.
The Caramel Brulee Latte arrives tomorrow!
Need I say more?

Thanks Starbucks, for feeding my addiction even more now.

four.

I impulsively bought a pair of boots over the weekend that I now need to take back. {shocker there}

I love the way they look but they just end up coming up too high on my leg. And they irritate me. No bueno.

five.

My weekend starts on Thursday this week due to the fact that I'm heading to VaTech for the game that night. Yayy for short work weeks!

.....and for being random!

Ramblings & A New Look

Good morning ladies!

Notice something different? Yep, I have redesigned my page...{again}!

I hope you like it. I feel that it's a better representation of me....girly :)

I'm already having a much better day than I was yesterday. Thanks for those who tried to put me in better spirits :) Y'all are so sweet. 

Ok, so a couple little tidbits for your Thursday.

{*} Starbucks does not have all of their holiday drinks just yet. TEASE! But don't fret. The caramel brulee latte will be arriving November 15th. That's 12 days- {not that I'm counting or anything...}

{*} I made this for dinner last night.

{Disclaimer} It does not look like this. It actually ended up being a 'soupy' tortilla soup....and was not thick at all. It wasn't even the same color. Needless to say we were disappointed and it's my new mission to find a recipe that does in fact turn out like the picture. False advertising abcfamily....false advertising. 

{*} I've got a bug. The travel bug that is. I can't stop thinking about all of the amazing places I would love to visit. If only my bank account could back me up...boo. Oh well, one day. In the meantime, a girl can dream right?
