summer tv

{via}

My DVR is full of shows

that I want to watch this summer. 

I always tend to watch more summer television

than I do any other time of the year. 

Typically this was because

all of the good scifi shows aired

in the summer. 

But the SyFy channel seems to be

killing all of the really good science fiction shows.

Anyway, that is another blog post entirely.

Here are a few of the shows I am watching this summer:

The Voice

So You Think You Can Dance

White Collar

Covert Affairs

Torchwood

Eureka

Alphas

Falling Skies

Outcasts

What shows are you looking 
forward to this summer?

just some randomness

Late weekend recap:

This weekend was pretty much a lazy weekend. 

I made my first peach cobbler of the season

and it was oh so yummy!

I did not exercise at all on Saturday or Sunday and

I do not feel one ounce of guilt about that ;)

The bestie & I played 

Super Mario Bros on the Wii

for 6 hours Sunday.

It took us right back to our childhood. 

I big happy heart Super Mario Bros♥

Overall, it was a pretty great weekend!

Update on my favorite little man:

My nephew Nash has had several important firsts

over the last couple of months. 

He started crawling!

And my sister caught it on her phone for me. :D

He started off pretty shaky

but he is a crawling machine now.

He got his very first boo-boo. :(

My niece Cas was playing with him on the bed

and he fell off and bumped his head.

Kinda like 12 little monkeys!

He was fine just had a little bump.

My sis said it scared him more than anything else.

He went to the beach for the very first time. 

I was actually there for that one, 

it was my idea!

He loved the sand

but did not care for the water that much.

And here are a few pictures 

just because he is so darn cute!

Apparently, he does not like smiling in pictures.

What are some of your favorite things about summer?

flowers & favors

The wedding I am planning is in October
so the bride wants and arrangement of fall flowers 
for the bouquets and centerpieces. 
I think the dark reds, burnt oranges, & yellows
will look gorgeous against the dark purple of the 
bridesmaids' dresses.
What do you think?

We are still in decision mode on wedding favors. 
The bride's favorite idea is
monogrammed Hershey's Kisses.
We would put a few in a cute bag or box
with a label that read
"Kisses from the New Mr. & Mrs."

Do any of you have any cute favor ideas?

i am not a runner . . .

or much of an exerciser for that matter.

I have never hid my loathing dislike of exercise. 

I am just not one of those people who feel good after exercise. 

Despite that I am training for a 5k. 

I am using the Couch to 5k (C25k) program.

So far, I am still alive!

Although, I have been at it 4 weeks and am only on week 2.

I have 3 friends who are doing the program with me. 

And 2 of us have not really exercised in years. 

So, we wanted to start slow.

We did week1 for 2 weeks for us beginners {me}.

Then I tweaked my knee somehow 

and I had to take a week off.

And tonight I will finally finish week 2!

To be honest, 

week 3 scares me to death.

I will have to run for 3 minutes straight

and 90 seconds is kicking my butt right now.

I know 90 seconds or even 3 minutes

 may not seem like a big deal to you runners out there

but just finishing one of those 90 second runs is a huge deal for me.

My birthday is at the beginning of August

and I want to be able to completely run a 5k by then.

That is my goal.

And so far I am SLOWLY completing it!

the one about the dresses

This will probably be the first of many wedding posts!

We had a SUPER successful day dress shopping. 

Five of us went shopping, Isa {the bride}, her mom, her sister, her maid of honor, 

& me {wedding planner extraordinaire . . . lol}. 

We picked out Isa's dress, all of her accessories, 

the bridesmaids' dresses and shoes in just 3 hours.

Isa went with the very 1st dress she tried on. 

It was just perfect!

Her maid of honor and her sister only 

tried on about 5 dresses before we found the perfect ones.

Stupid blogger ;)

So, what do y'all think about the dresses?

hey y'all

Um, so yeah,

it has been over a month since

I have posted anything.

Sorry about that!

I just have not been in the blogging mood lately.

This is the first time I have even logged into blogger in about 2 weeks.

Nothing really exciting has been going on in my life. 

I work and the come home and apply for jobs.

That is pretty much it. 

And I am sure you do not want to hear anything about

my panic attacks over not even getting one single interview yet.

One exciting thing that has happened is 

one of my very best friends got

ENGAGED!!!

And she has asked me to be her wedding planner!

So I am in total wedding planning mode.

I am like a kid in a candy store when I have something to plan.

I will do some more posts letting y'all know 

how the planning is going.

Hopefully, I will be able to get back into the swing of things! 

Thanks to any of my readers who are actually reading this
