Plummeting Productivity and a Tan for Christmas

FRIDAY! FRIDAY! FRIDAY! Oh how happy I am to see you! And now this day just needs to speed by (at least till noon) so I can be off work for the next 11 days! Needless say my productivity level today is already plummeting at great speed.

Seems about right.

Moving on...Christmas Eve/Christmas is now only 8 DAYS away and I am SO in the spirit here at work with my jingle bell necklace and headband, along with my Hanson Holiday Pandora station. I am very ready for all the Holiday festivities to commence.

I also am so incredibly excited about being home. I haven't spent an extended period of time back home since....well, probably freshman year during Christmas. I have never been one of those super homey people, but I can't wait to be back in Bridge City all week. One of my oldest and best friends, Ashley B. (See Stars in my Sky) is having a "White Elephant" party on Monday night with some other wonderful ladies and I can't wait to see her and her GIANT rock beautiful engagement ring she got from her fiancé a couple of weeks ago. Tuesday I am having a much needed and way overdue Housewife (again, see Stars in my Sky) date. Pedicures, Lunch, Gossip, some form of alcohol=Perfection. Tuesday night I also get to get my hair done back home. Now I am sure you're wondering what is so special about getting my hair done, especially when I live in a city filled with outstanding beauty salons? Well because when I go get my hair colored, I pay nearly 100 dollars, JUST FOR COLOR. Now when I go home, I can pay 70 dollars for color, cut, and style. You see my reason for excitement now? Yeah buddy (In Vinnie from Jersey Shore's voice. Jersey Shore Returns in January! #gulitypleasure) As for the rest of the week, not much else planned except for some margaritas one night and hitting up the casino with my Grandpa (yeah, you heard me right) and of course Church on Christmas Eve along with other Christmas fun.

Now I have never been one to complain about the different seasons. I mean I kind of think Spring and fall are a bit lame because they are kind of like the filler seasons, but I really enjoy them all. HOWEVER, my one complaint about the cold winter months (As in December-February in Texas) I get MEGA pale. I, being a blonde with blue eyes, enjoy having a nice sun-kissed glow and unless I want to hop into the cancer tanning bed or want to catch phenomia laying out in 50 and below degree weather I am, you would say, sh*t out of luck. Also, if you know me (P.S. I am going to do a blog listing all the times I use the line "If you know me", I say that way too much) you know I am very much a beach person who loves the whole "parrot head" state of mind. So with all that being said, I want to share with you my Christmas Jam of the day. I hope some of you can appreciate it as much as I did.

Stay warm Dolls, and have a very merry weekend. :)

A little late...Weekend Wrap Up

Good Tuesday Everyone!

I hope everyone had as great as a weekend as I did. As you already know I went home to good Old Bridge City this weekend with Trevor for a friend’s wedding. We got to spend some "Quality" time with friends and family. Here is the weekend in pictures. :)

I don't have anything from Friday but dinner with my dad was delicious. :)

Saturday we started off with IHOP then bowling with Mom, her boyfriend Keith, and his son Blake.



Trevor killed in on the first game. Notice his intense stance and firm concentration.

 

My awesome Mom about to bowl.



I remember wanting to steal these shoes when I was younger. What the Eff was I thinking??? They are not exactly fun to look at.



2nd game score. 2nd place for me. :) Trevor did okay...It's okay Trev, better luck next time.



My childhood best friend got married. I was so glad to be there and be a part of her big day. The ceremony was really special and the reception was a lot of fun. She looked beautiful. They had a photo booth too which was really cool. I'll try to get the pictures uploaded on here soon.



Okay so I know you’re probably wondering what is with the random angry cartoon...well in between the wedding and going to meet Housewife and other friends I went to get out of the car and my phone was on my lap. Needless to say the final score was phone-0 contrete-1. I then proceeded to throw an only child 5 year old tantrum for about 5 minutes  60 seconds before Trevor calmed me down and reassured me that I was not the first person to severely crack my phone screen. All I have to say is thank GOD for insurance.

After the phone fiasco, we finally made it to The West Bar and Grill in Beaumont where we met up with Housewife, Jordan, and Alison.

  

Even though Trevor and I were way overdressed for this particular bar we had a lot of fun before we moved over the The Pace Setter where I saw many old friends. It was great.

 

One of the old faces we saw was Jesus'. Lauryn, Jesus, Trevor, and I all were a part of a crazy out of control Spring Break in 2010. We also all spent a lot of time on Northgate my senior year of college. We all had a lot of fun at Pace Setter and I know Trevor really enjoyed catching up with him.



Lauryn + Danni + Dance floor = dancing fools.



On Sunday we went a visited my grandparents for a while before we headed back to Houston pretty early because Trevor had a golf game to get too. Sunday evening this was Chanel curled up on the couch. She was pretty tuckered out from dealing with a moody small dog all weekend who just didn't want to play with her. (HOW RUDE!) Anyways, that is exactly how I felt after a great weekend home too, exhausted. I promise you though I didn't look NEARLY as cute as she did at this point Sunday evening. hah. Now I just have to make it though the next 2 and a half hours of this horrible work  day before gym time and time with the BF that can always turn a subpar day around. Happy Tuesday Dolls.
