Date Night with Chip.... One Drink Too Many (Literally One)

You probably don't fully understand this blog title, but i'll get to that later.

First, I want to showcase my date night outfit... Because I'm proud of it.

I know I already did Fashion Friday, but those that know me realize I have no patience, therefore you are getting another dose of Fashion.

Let's Begin.

Necklace (Mom's jewelry box)--$Free to me, Bracelet (Kohl's)--$3, Shirt (Target)--$3.50, Belt (Thrifted)--$2, Jeans (J-Crew Outlet)--$17, Shoes (Rue 21)--$7

So there is the outfit---> No on to the real reason as to why we're here!

Chip, has been working nights for the last TWO weeks.  This does not help with our hangout time because I work days.  

I have missed him like crazy!

 Notice anything funny about these pictures?  Chip has a furry friend at his feet.  You can only imagine his uneasiness in this situation (picture one displays it nicely).  For those of you who don't know, Chip HATES felines.  This random cat has been hanging out at my parents house for about the last month and will not go away. 

P.S. Notice how hott Chip looks.

Finally, tonight we got to hang out and he took me on a lovely date to a new restaurant in town called Sauk Trail (Fabulous Restaurant).  Ok so that takes care of the first part of the blog title.  

Now on to the 2nd

I am a COMPLETE lightweight.

I don't really drink alcoholic beverages all that much 

1. Because I get really talkative and obnoxious (according to my friends I talk at a decibel of about 11 on a scale of 1-10)

2. Because I, personally, don't like feeling like the S-word the next day

3. Because I don't want to be one of those people that everyone looks at and says "wow she really put on weight in college, must have been the alcohol"

BUT, I do, occasionally, like to have a drink.

Last night I went with a Sweet Tea Vodka and Lemonade combo.

I kid you not, it only took half the drink and I began talking a lot and double fisting my fork while eating.

(Hence the title, One drink too many)

I think this may put me to drinking shame. I'm embarrassed.  

Have a wonderful weekend.

It's lovely here in the Hoosier state 

(That was not sarcasm)

Fashion Friday-- Country Chic (or at least that's what I call it)

So here is, what I call, Country-Chic.  Here in Indiana we have some pretty weird weather so despite what the actual season is, the temperature refuses to agree.  It may be spring/summer, but Indiana weather has a mind of its own.

Jacket (Thrifted)-- $2, Sweater (Forever21)-- $6, Leggings (Forever21)-- $4, Boots (Thrifted)-- $10, Necklace (Pier1 Imports)-- Can't remember the cost but I know it was under five.

Hope you all like (i know my posing is awesome, Tyra Banks watch out).  Sorry I don't have anything interesting to Blog about, I'm substitute teaching (probably shouldn't be blogging while on the clock..ha) and need to keep these little devils in line.

Happy Friday!!

Yum Yum Bubblegum

Honestly, who doesn't love a good piece of bubblegum?  And who doesn't love to blow bubbles?

Bubble gum is probably one of my FAVORITE things ever.

Whoever came up with the idea is genius. 

It is literally a party for your chompers.

You see I used to play little league softball (back in the day) and I'm sure you've heard of Big League Chew (you know, the stuff they sell to kids that's supposed to be like dip), well I used to munch on this stuff and blow bubbles like it was nobody's business.

I don't play little league anymore, but I still chew bubble gum.  Sometimes I upgrade to the adult versions like Orbit or Wrigleys (but nothing is better than bubble gum). 

Blowing bubbles from bubble gum is such a youthful thing.

Have you ever noticed how kids constantly ask for gum?  They love this stuff!  There is something so fascinating about it and I used to be one of these kids (still am).

This is a completely RANDOM post, I understand.  But I just had to share! 

Bubble Gum= $1.00...... Blowing Bubbles= Priceless.

She's Country From Her Cowboy Boots to Her Down Home Roots

My first real country concert... A-MAZING.

Jason Aldean, Eric Church, and the JaneDeer Girls were incredible.

If you have never been to a country concert...

A.) You are missing out

B.) There a lot of drunk people who don't give a rip (which is awesome).

C.) Go. To. One. 

Here are a few photos from the concert and some of the awesome things that happened

We were most definitely stuck in traffic.  About everywhere mapquest took us, there was a lovely detour.  I thought my camo hat was appropriate for the occasion.  Turns out I was right because 85% of the 25,000 people there had camo hats on. Boom.

Luckily for us, we just followed these country boys.  These guys were awesome because of the sticker on the back of their vehicle AND the fact that they were driving a Ford.  I would just like to say thank you to the "If It Flies, It Dies" boys.

Oh you know, just waiting for the one and only JASON ALDEAN to perform. I suggest listening to him. He rocks.

Favorite Memories of the Night

1. There was a girl who made a shirt in honor of Jason Aldean (what a fan) and some of the glitter on the shirt creeped its way down to her butt-crack.  How do I know this? Well, I saw her butt-crack (I spared you a picture).  Every country concert has a butt-crack or two just out there for the world to see.  Hers was just special because it was glittery.  Thanks for the laugh, glittery butt-crack girl.

2.  The drunk guy who decided to sneak up to me and booty bump me excessively.  Who doesn't love a good ol' drunken booty bump?

3. The drunk guy running around playing the air guitar.

Hope everyone has a fantastic week.

& 

Give country music a try. It's awesome.

Many Faces of Mac

Chip thinks I make a lot of weird faces (and I do).

I do it to make him laugh. and it works.

My weird faces usually make their appearances in instances of serious conversation.

This may be immature. OR it may just be AWESOME.

If I were to guess, I'd say Chip thinks they are Awesome.

Here are just a few of the faces I make at chip.  They usually follow with some strange voice (Chip loves my "mom voice"-- it's a cross between Sarah Palin and Stewart's Mom from MADtv).

There ya have it peeps. 

I don't suggest making these faces at strangers.  

Actually I take that back.. I DO suggest it, because usually they will look at you weird in return.

Enjoy your Saturday!

Friday's Fashion Finds for Less

Alright so here's the deal-i-o, I LOVE to shop... but I HATE spending tons of money (Chip likes me for this).

As the effect of this love/hate relationship I have developed the skill of bargain shopping. 

Nearly everything I own, clothing wise, is very EXTREMELY inexpensive.

I only thought it fair to share with you some of my fabulous fashion finds (well at least I think they are fabulous). 

In order to share with you, I have dedicated fridays as my sharing days. 

1. Because Fridays make me want to share

2. Because Fridays are the days I feel inspired to dress up

3. Because Friday, Fashion, and Finds all start with "F"

Without Further a-do.... I give you Friday's Fashion Finds for Less.

Sandals: Forever21-$8.00.....Skirt: Thrifted-$2.00.....Tank: Elder Beerman-$4.00..... Necklace: Walmart-$7.00..... Glasses: Well I'm blind so I need them.

TOTAL OUTFIT COST: $21.00

(These are rough estimates because some things I got awhile ago)

Well that wraps up this Friday's Fashion Finds,

Please disregard my awful posing,

Try wearing pink lipstick--it's fun,

&  

Hope you enjoyed!

ThankGodItsFriday

She Got it From Her Mama (Happy Mother's Day!)

This is MY beautiful mother.  She is the most amazing woman I know.

I am so proud to call this woman my mom.  

She is the most loving, caring, kind, considerate (and the list could go on) lady I know.

She goes above and beyond her call of duty.  Everything she does, she does for the benefit of our family.   

I have never met a harder worker than my mom.  This lady is crazy people, she works 40 hours a week and then comes home and does even more work.  

She is literally a superhero.

I have never known her to be selfish.  She is always doing things for others.

When I grow up I want to be just like my mom.  

Mom, you are my best friend, 

my hero.

I couldn't ask for a better mom.  I don't tell you enough how much I appreciate you.  

I love you mom.

Here are some photos from the Mother's Day festivities.

Me, Mom, and Shaner-Baner

"K" and Shane (Shane gave my mom the nickname "K")

Grandma, Aunt Mindy (Grandma couldn't have asked for a better daughter-in-law), Mom, and Jane (Mindy's mom: One of the sweetest ladies ever!!! She is basically part of the fam)

Oh hey there CHIP. Whatcha doin?

Dad's probably trying to tell a funny joke. Oh Monte.

Who doesn't love a back massage train? Poor chip got the short stick.

The grandkids and Grandma minus 3.

And that concludes Mother's Day
