- Loving all the football on TV. It's back in all it's glory and I can't get enough. I'm like a junkie.

- Enjoying lazy weekends that include a lot of pup snuggles: 

Yes, we let all 3 of our dogs up on the couch, 

and yes, those are MY throw pillows they are laying on. I need new throw pillows. 

And crafting:

- Taking full advantage of the fact that we are currently babysitting my in-laws' smoker and Adam is experimenting. 

Don't those ribs look like the Brontosaurus thing that Fred Flintstone gets in the drive-thru? Anyone? 

- Wanting to paint my nails fall colors. 

 Sinful Colors Rich In Heart::Sinful Colors Copper Pot::Sinful Colors Gold Medal::Sinful Colors Nirvana

I most definitely tried all of these on my nails in the store last Friday and I wasn't meaning to put them all together but once they were on I was like, hey, these are so pretty together! and now I want to buy them all. 

- Spending money on ridiculous things like this:

Yes, that says "Rufferee". Not. Even. Sorry.

- Anxiously awaiting the arrival of this beauty:

This will be my first EVER iPhone and although I really didn't care before and we kind of stumbled into pre-ordering it on Saturday, now that I know it's coming I'm getting excited and already have a case picked out for it (Clear with white polka dots so you can see the pretty rose gold-ness). 

I have missed you ladies! What have you been up to? 

Why I Love Football

I am SO excited for football season! We don't have cable but we are seriously contemplating getting it in the next few weeks just because football is starting. Yes, we are that hooked.

1. The Camaraderie

There's nothing quite like the feeling of being united in your love for your team with other fans and cheering in unison (or crying in unison, depending on the outcome). Regardless of how the game and season goes, you know you will always stay loyal to your team. This has, of course, been severely tested for Gators and Jags fans in the last few years (Ok, more than just a few years for the Jags), but the true fans love their team no matter what. #InAllKindsOfWeather

2. The Quality Time

I didn't always care much about football, but I started to get more interested in it a few years ago because Adam liked it. Instead of just watching the occasional game and just glancing up at the score, I actually started to understand the game better, and from then on I was hooked. It's become something we watch together. So even though we each have our own separate hobbies, football is one we can enjoy together and it's so much fun!

3. The Food

Obviously, the food is a big part of the fun. Chips and Salsa, Seven Layer Dip, Guacamole, Burgers, Cheese Fries, Chili, Hot Wings. All super healthy, of course.

4. The Tradition

Football is steeped in tradition, and I love hearing all of the stories behind each team, how they started, what records they have maintained, their rituals before each game.

5. The Athleticism

It's truly amazing what these guys are capable of, and it's so exciting to watch them run, throw, catch, block, and tackle with such precision and grace.

6. The Strategy

I love watching the plays and trying to figure out what their strategy is, how they plan to get the ball where it needs to go, and when things don't go like they planned, how they are able to (hopefully!) think on their feet and adjust.

7. The Clothes

Of course I had to include all of the fun clothes you get to buy in support of your team! I have a ton of Gator and Jaguar gear, and yet every time I see a cute shirt or PJ pants or a hat in the store I feel like I NEED it, because can there ever be enough team love??

Do you love football?

Friday Favorites

Fr-fr-fr-FRIDAY!

I'm not sure what's going on here, but it looks like a party. 

This weekend is going to be epic. And by epic I mean lots of binge-watching of The Good Wife, baking, and sleeping. Feeling pretty awesome about it. But you don't want to hear any more about my glamorous weekend plans, so let's get to the favorites already: 

Favorite song: 

I'm throwing it back this week with The Fugees- Killing Me Softly

Favorite Draft Moment: 

Dante Fowler, Jr. is going to be a Jag! And I really enjoyed watching the Draft, so nice to see a little bit of football to soothe the withdrawals I've been having since February! 

Favorite Purchase: 

I bought a succulent! I have the blackest thumb ever but these are supposed to be pretty idiot-proof and they thrive on neglect, so I should be good right? Here's hoping!

Favorite Food:

Still dreaming of this meal. We may be going here more often than I originally thought. 

Favorite Funnies: 

How I feel on Upper Body day: 

Seriously though, I spend waaay too much of my life on my eyebrows. 

Best title for an autobiography ever: 

Have a lovely weekend! 

Weekend Recap: The one with all the carbs and the shopping

I don't even care that it's Monday because I only have three days of work this week! WOOT! Plus there's practically no one here this week so it should be pretty chill. This weekend was wonderful and relaxing and I got to spend some quality time wandering around Target, which is always nice. Plus I ate my weight in carbs, which always makes for a good time. 

Friday night we went to Five Guys for dinner. 

Yes, that is grease on the bag. I'm not even sorry. 

It ain't food blogger pretty, but it's delicious.  

Saturday morning I got up and went to Target, where I tried to resist spending money and failed. But I did pretty good, this shirt was 40% off and these sandals were on clearance. And since this is FL and it can be 40 degrees one day and 70 the next, I most likely won't be waiting until Spring to wear them. 

It's hard to tell, but this shirt has a SUPER cute fox print on it. Here's the link to the listing on the Target website. It's SO comfy too! 

After Target I came home and watched the Gator game, and though we played a lesser division team, it was nice to see them have a good game and win for Muschamp's last game in the Swamp. Plus we're bowl eligible, so yay, better than last year! 

That evening we went to dinner with my aunt and uncle who I hadn't seen in forever, it was so great to spend some time with them! Then we had to go by Walmart to get some lightbulbs (most boring thing to spend money on EVER) and I found this for $5: 

I was kind of ridiculously excited. Of course I had to get it. 

Sunday morning we slept in and then had lunch at Maggiano's with friends (more carbs). I wore this, no sweater or jacket because it was literally 70 degrees in Jax yesterday. After being cold and in sweaters most of the week. 

Hurley's like, "Really mom? More pictures? Is there nothing you won't document??"

Sunday evening we got all of our shopping done for the Thanksgiving meal, and I finally remembered to bring these guys out: 

 

Other than that just worked on laundry, getting the house clean, and the RSVP's for the Christmas Party are slowly but surely rolling in so I'm getting a better idea of how much food we are going to need!

 

How was your weekend? Are you ready for Thanksgiving?

Weekend recap

I'm late posting this today because I took the day off of work and my schedule is all weird. This morning I had a doctor's appointment so naturally I had to get myself a treat: 

This afternoon we are going to the chiropractor and I'm pretty excited about it. 

This weekend was pretty uneventful, which was fine with me! Pretty relaxing and very low key. 

Friday night we had dinner with some friends and then I came home and got my butt kicked by Shaun T. 

On Saturday we went out to an RC event in St. Augustine and it was fun except that I was SO COLD the majority of the time. When the sun was out it was fine, but a good part of the day it was really overcast. 

We were out there all day so we missed the Gator game, but it sounds like that was probably for the best. ::sad face:: Of course if you follow SEC football at all you've probably heard that Muschamp is done after this season. Nobody was surprised and I think it's probably for the best for both him and the team. I wish him well, and I really think he is going to be just fine, he should be able to easily find a job as DC.

The rest of the weekend was pretty chill, I got some cleaning and budgeting done and started to think about what to get family for Christmas. I'm super excited that this is a four day work week and next week will be a three day work week! Holla!
