Dear Pinterest,

Has anyone else noticed that you have had a lot of strangers on your "following" page? In the last few days my main page has been polluted with people with weird names and even worse..... pins that I have no interest in! (i.e. hairy leg socks or pirate kitty pillow)  

I click on "unfollow all" over and over again, but these suckers are resilient! Every time I log in.... they're back and with a vengeance (we've built our way up to the hairy leg socks) 

All in all..... Dear Pinterest, please change. I would hate to have to break up over this.

say hello to my new friend!

My sister recently upgraded her Canon which meant I got her hand me down! I was so excited to get it in the mail and I spent a little of the weekend playing trying to learn how to use it. Here are a few that turned out like they were supposed to!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend and we all took a moment to thank those who fight for our freedom each and everyday.

First Photo Shoot

Last night we ventured "into" our house for the first time. Here are pictures from the inside!

Happy Friday!

and the winner goes to.....

 I have to admit I was not as diligent with American Idol this year I think they have added a lot of "fluff" and you'll never catch me watching it live... way too many commercials.

However, this man. Sealed the deal with this song. I am even more of a fan. 

And then his last song. Holy right up my alley.

I have to hand it to my dad on this one. He called it... from his audition my dad said he was "going all the way" Well deserved Phil and well played Dad the new Simon Cowell.

The Loot

I headed to the jewelry show this weekend with one of my best friends and her family. We shopped till we dropped and then headed to Bourbon Street to drink away the buyers remorse celebrate. There were so many vendors there but just like any shopping trip you have to pick through the less desirable things in order to find the true treasures. 

 A picture of the loot.... the green and pink item on the left is a swimsuit cover up. SO excited to sport that on the beaches of Belize!!

after I laid everything out I realized that I have a small obsession right now  turquoise and coral. Every piece of jewelry was gold, turquoise, coral or both.

None of the pictures on Bourbon Street seemed appropriate to share but we capped off the night with dinner at Desire.  It was absolutely delicious and just what we all needed.

Changing subjects completely, I have to take a moment to wish my very dear friend, Aliece and her husband, a Happy Anniversary! I cant believe its already been a year since all of the parties and preparations. 

Cheers to many more years.

Happy Hump Day!

Happy Wednesday! I am just now feeling 100% from the weekend it seems. Saturday we decided to boil crawfish and with crawfish comes a party. an all day party. But it was blast and the headache the next day was well worth it.

The house we were at had the new Bud Light Lime -A- Rita. Official review: awful. Not a margarita. cough syrup. save your liver.

In other news.... more progress was made on the house! The frames are up and the foundation is ready to be poured! We have made just about all of the final selections too... the only thing left is the paint colors (which has been the hardest part yet)

This little man turned 6 months old over the weekend.... when and how on earth did this happen. Just yesterday it seems he was making his debut! That smile just kills me. 

Happy Wednesday- halfway to the weekend. We can do this folks. 

my mom, my friend
