The countdown's ON.



aside from re-uniting with pinterest (how could i ever, ever claim to be "too busy" to spend some quality early morning-when-everyone-else-is-fast-asleep pinning time??), making the [5-min.] trek to target to purchase the product that i am hoping will change the course of my [& hailey's] up-dos forever, selling pushing girl scout cookies with the troop... for 4 hours... the true highlight was a night out with my husband.

a friend turned 40, & celebrated new orleans-style... our first ever crawfish boil...



... hurricanes a' plenty... batches & batches of jambalaya, a fancy cake, lots of beads...

a nice way to "get away" without actually stepping foot on an airplane.

...but also a little preview of our upcoming weekend in which we really do get to get away... five days & counting.

{it is my last week of "#35" afterall.  i plan on making it a good one.}
      

hope your monday treats you well... or you treat it well.  either-or :).

  2. Omgsh! How fun!! What a great idea for a party
    And I LOVE spin pins. I keep losing them so I havent used them in months. But seriously, it's the only way my hair can go up without a 1000 pins and a headache from my thick heavy hair

    1. Exactly!! That’s the same amount it takes to do my “messy bun” (which seems to me to be a huge contradiction btw… messy should *not require so much “pinning”)… Can’t wait to try!! :)

  3. Where are you going? Did you tell us already? mmmmmm....crawdads (as we call em down south). The only thing I don't like is the amount of work it takes to shell out such a tiny piece of yum. We shall gab gardens when you get back. The gloomy weather gives me a brain fog. :)
