You Wanna Know What I Think?

"....I think Nathan likes Tutor Girl, and I think Tutor Girl likes Lucas, and I know I like Lucas and I don't know who the hell you like anymore.  This is all turning into one big love-rectangle-plus-one, whatever that is."

Does anyone else's mind automatically go there when they hear someone say "you wanna know what I think"?  No, just me?! ok. ;)

At any rate, here's this weekend in collage.  Worked worked most of the weekend, but started listening to my Weekend Playlist.  Pretty much got stuck once I got to Tyler's album.  Listening to it on repeat!  Awesome.  I'll have to check out Amber Sweeney's and the new Bruce Springsteen album this week.  

A little bit of a downer, I found out that the latte's I drink at Starbucks have twice as many weight watchers points as I originally thought they did.  Bummed me out for a minute, but then I realized...TOTALLY WORTH IT.  Starbucks is my fav!

Got my eyebrow's waxed at the Benefit bar at Ulta and picked up a new foundation called "some kind-a gorgeous".  I love Benefit products, they have super-cute names, equally super-cute packaging...and more importantly - they work.  Really, they do what they are supposed to.  Crazy, right?!  If you haven't tried any of their products yet, I highly recommend trying a product or 2!

Hope everyone else had a great weekend!  I'm gonna spend the rest of the night trying to relax a bit.  Painting my nails and watching some movies.  Horrible Bosses is on now and I'm feeling like its an Eclipse-Kind-Of-Night!

and P.S.  I know it's not just me on the One Tree Hill Quote.  Love our One Tree Hill family!

Weekend Playlist

A few weeks ago (seems like forever) my iPod fm transmitter broke and it took me a while to buy a new one and Target only had one left in stock, and it sucks.  So I've been sticking to good old fashioned CD's until I find a good replacement, which basically means that I listen to the same CD, on repeat, for days and weeks at a time.

I thought I'd take a few minutes to burn some new CD's in hopes of adding some excitement to my otherwise boring weekend ahead (I work all day, every day this weekend.  I know, cry me a river, right?! ;)).

Here's what I'll be listening to...

The Hunger Games:  Songs from District 12 and Beyond

Amber Sweeney:  Something Special

 For the One Tree Hill Fan in me:  

Tyler Hilton's Forget the Storm and Gavin DeGraw's Sweeter (Because I wore out the original copy I Burned #IHeartGavin)

 Florence & the Machine:  Lungs (Bought the Physical CD, didn't just download on iTunes! Old-School)

And last, but certainly not lease, taking Bethany Joy Lenz's advice and purchased a copy of Bruce Springsteen's latest album, Wrecking Ball.

What's on your Weekend Playlist?

Have I Mentioned I Love Shoes?

No, I haven't?  Well it's true.  If I'm being honest, it's more of an addiction really (and anyone who has ever met me will tell you the same).

Currently, I'm lusting over these 2 pairs of floral beauties from Anthropologie!  Seriously, I love them and if they don't scream spring, then I don't know what does!

...now, I just have to wait and hope they go on sale soon!  Fingers crossed!

Yum!

This stuff is delicious!  I tried it yesterday and had to share!  If you haven't tried it yet, go do it!  Now. You can thank me later!
