It's a Wendy Day!

The last two days have been super windy here. To the point that when I was driving yesterday, I thought the wind might run me off the road. And I kid you not- this morning- I saw Wendy get knocked off her feet once in the backyard. Usually she just waits outside of the door when she's ready to come back in. Today was she banging on the door with her feet. If she could talk, I'd imagine she would be saying "Get me the hell out of here!". She's quite the diva.

Things have been good since I returned from Austin. I'm still trying to get the house back in order. It seems to be taking forever. But it'll get done.. eventually! I'm also trying to get back into couponing in a BIG way. It's my way of trying to help out while Im not working as much for the next couple months. I had a big shopping trip last week and was able to save $46. I thought that was pretty good. I think Publix is the best. Not only do they have weekly B1G1 Free deals, they double coupons under .50. It takes forever to organize the whole thing.. but it gives me a little bit of a challenge :)

Thomas was out of town all last week. It was a bit of a crazy week for him. He managed to go to DC, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, and Canada.. all in one week. His boss was in town for the week from Italy so they were really trying to cover some ground while he was here. This week, he'll be headed to Boston but just for a couple of days.

Over the weekend, I ended up driving to Charlotte for just a night. My friend Carrie (that I used to work with in Charlotte) was having a bridal shower on Saturday.. followed by an overnight Bachelorette party. It was a quick trip but we had a lot of fun! The theme was Carrie's hoe down throw down". We all had on boots, cowgirl hats, and even our own boot mugs to take to the bar with us! Carrie was slightly more decked out in a fringed shirt and homemade chaps. She was a champ about the whole thing! (Notice the tulle going down the side of the chaps! Well done Laura!)






The pictures did not turn out so well on my phone. But I'm sure people got better ones with their actual cameras! And notice the large Polar Bear behind us. That should explain all the "raaahhhh" expressions and hand motions that are going on in the pictures. It was an extremely classy bar as you can tell. Lake Wylie's finest :)

I'm hoping to get a lot of cleaning done today. So I guess my coffee break is over.. time to dive in!

Hope everyone has a nice week. Stay warm!
