Miserable Monday

It is becoming a recurring theme in my world. Walked in to the office this morning to find out I am not going to have a job. Announcement this morning that we were being acquired. Sucky timing with the new house and the dog and the wedding, I give up...

Love my friends and family

Yes of course the people but what i am talking about is the stroes friends and family discounts! I am headed over to Saks at lunch for a little action, mama needs a new pair of shoes, so what if I have no even worn the last new pair yet. I am headed over with a very good friend who is back from London! Woop woop, although my damage in the stores seem to increase when she is around.  But hey now whe can help my look for some wedding shoes. I would love to be able to brake the bank but I must somehow refrain since the dog already did.

I will leave you with some I just found on net-a-porter.com that make me drool. Ohhhhh come to mama. Python, 4 inches I would give Chloe up for a pair (well no I wouldn't but hummnnaa huumanna hummna).

Some pretties

 NoSo I mentioned here and here about these Tory Burch wedges. I finally was able to sneak them out of the car and into the house, when it comes to shoes I like to quietly rotate them into the collection (although M ALWAYS notices). So here are they are!

Ahhhh, a perfect add to my wedges, I have tan, bronze.. etc but no chocolate brown so now I do! Now I just need a cute summer dress that will go with them and then I can put on display on Sunday for the Bridal Shower. Wow come July I think we are done with weddings except for ours and the little sisters. Oh joy joy.

So tonight to try to make everything go a little better this week I am sitting in front of the tv with something so delicious next to me. Yep one of my new favorites, how I love spring and summer brews! By the way I am pretty amazed by my ability to have the light ok in this picture. Seriously I need photo classes or something cause I suck! Alright I am off... on to try to finish my shoes. Yea I kinda hated the big studs so I took them off and am now doing smaller ones. One day I will finish them. Alright totally random post but well thats how my brain works. Have a good night.

Miserable Monday

Uggghhh please tell me that Friday is here! I very much need a weekend because I had a non-existent weekend. Yeah quarter end sucks my butt! Next weekend I cannot wait! Saturday I will spend with my little girl and Sunday is a bridal shower for one of my good friends so basically it is a girls day with good food and drinks.

We finally set a date for our housewarming party, May 29th! Yep Memorial weekend. The Beirut table will be coming out along with the cornhole game and the homebrew! Ahhh perfect way to have a 3-day weekend. You guys around? Stop by, M makes some of the best homebrew around!

It would be ohhh so nice now if M and I actually have a serious conversation about booking a vacation, I am in serious need of some relaxation!

Meet Chloe

So I have been a very bad blogger, life has been calling and the dog is now taking up some time.  But I got a semi-decent picture of her, so meet my girl. Yea she was mid lick so her lip is a little crooked. And yes she is missing some hair on her leg, that is where the IV was due to the parvo, thank goodness she is home now! She is awesome, soft as can be and currently our shadow, she follows us everywhere.

M was so sure that there would be no dog in the bed, no dogs allowed. Hmmm guess who pulled her up on the bed this morning.  Hope everyone's weekend is going well.

Guilty pleasures

I am very guilty today. Not supposed to be spending any money (Chloe is now our Platinum Retreiver) and I picked up 2 dresses today on Hautelook.com.  I have a few Matty M items and love them, all the materials are super soft and the brand seems to fit me well, so I jumped on it and grabbed the dresses. I do have 2 more weddings this year so figured I needed some for bridal showers, bachlorette, rehersal dinner etc. So oh well I am only young once right.  Here are the dresses (pictures from hautelook.com):

Loving them, and no worries the white one will not be worn to an actual wedding. I have my beautiful bridesmaid dresses for that (can you sense the sarcasm?)

In other related news this weekend is my little sister's wedding. So crazy! So today is Friday for me! Tomorrow it is rehersal, mani-pedis and some great Mexican food for dinner. Sheen if you are out there reading this, Congrats, I love you! Now I should probably get back to work since I need to get out of here because I still have not written my maid of honor speach.... opps

Have a great weekend lovelies!

Oh P.S. Congrats to my Yankees too for taking the first series against the BooSox

Happy Day

Chloe is coming home today! So excited. We still have a long road in front of us but she is on the mend (a few dollars later).  We will still have to give her fluid shots, medication and force feed her as long as she is not eating on her own but protein levels are up as well as her electrolytes. The vets are really positive and have been so great.  Cannot wait for her to FINALLY be really home.

Chloe

So Friday night we brought this beautiful girl home.

And Saturday we were at the emergency room with her. Turns out she has Parvo. You think you do your homework but how can you figure everything out. So she has been at the hospital since Saturday night and so far she will be there again tonight. Oh and the breeder will not call back! So angry, especially since she is still trying to sell her 5 other littermates. I hope she pulls through. I just want her to come home for good.

ohhhhhh so pretty

Great scott! I found them and not in denim and they were swell.  Picture to come once M is at work tomorrow since shhhh it is a little quiet right now.

I was really really hoping to go check out some of these beauties this weekend.

But as fate would have it I have not heard back from the breeder since our orginal conversation. So the search continues.  And I know I can go to the animal shelter and pick a loving dog up there but I have ALWAYS ALWAYS wanted a golden and have only ever had rescues. And let me tell you they have their own set of issues. Everyday I just wish I would be coming home to the wagging tail of a golden, they love you and have such an amazing happy personality. I cannot wait until I finally find one!

Moving on... I cannot believe the day is not over!?!? I so badly just want to go home, and I am pretty sure all of my co-workers are in the same boat, considering we all have the same glossed over look in our eyes staring at our computers. Yep the boss does too (they have window walls which is fun when I watch him fall asleep at his desk the day after happy hour days. Oh to be at home. Pretty soon and I have cases of wine just waiting for me in the garage. MMMM, the winery my Uncle is a winemaker at had a friends and family discount of 70%... wooooowee you better believe I took advantage! Alright friends, heres to a long weekend!

Shoes

I am finding it really weird after all the websites that I have been stalking that I have not found a single pair of shoes that I want to buy. I have found ones that I would love, but only with an endless budget love.

Now these I would not kick out of bed! They would of already been purchased had they not been in denim. Pic Source: Net-a-Porter.com.

And seriously just found these on Foot Candys website. Tory you are killing me with the love for your effortlessly chic summer sandals.  (Pic Source: footcandyshoes.com). Alright now it is bedtime, or maybe not. Hmmm We will see how far shoes take me tonight. Oh sweet dreams.

My poor fingers...

So back from Tahoe and finally recouped. Let me tell you Mr. Patron, you are so not my friend anymore. Give me a PBR and you have the energizer bunny. Ugghhhh no wonder I gave up shots, seriously Monday morning came and I almost called in sick, from Saturday night! How do I get my tolerance back from when I was 24?!?! 

Onward and upward. I finally got our San Francisco print framed and now we just need to figure out where it is going to go.  I love this print and it totally represents M and I since that is where we lived and met. I colored in our neighborhoods and where we spent a lot of our time. I love the city and even though we have our little home I really do love everything that Russian Hill (will always be my hood) and everything it had to offer.

I also finally started my studding project on my chucks! Remember way back when I said I was going to. Well started, and although I am not sure that I do actually like the size on them I do  not think I would like the smaller studs either. So here I am starting.

And here is the end, I am really thinking that I would prefer to have done the smaller studs. What do you guys think. If the studs are smaller I can still take these out since the holes would be covered up but I don't know. And yes I have only done one since I am pretty sure that my fingers are beyond bruised from doing this shoe alone. Opinions please?

Alright I am off to bed.  Sleepy sleepy. Yea for tomorrow being "Friday". Pretty sure that I will be doing absolutely nothing come the actual Friday, and no booze until the bubbles bus since I want to make sure I can fully enjoy it, especially after my new enemy Mr. Patron.

Tooodaalooos mother fs!

It is Friday and I am in love with that! Seriously one of the longest weeks ever! Thank goodness I have a couple short weeks in front of me.

I just came across the coolest website ever! Knock Off Wood, check here out here. So cool and especially since some of the furniture built there is stuff I had been looking at but not wanting to drop the moolah on.

I love this boy, he has been ever so great in this craptastic week that I have had.

So tonight I am off to Tahoe for my sisters bachlorette this weekend, already dreaming of being back in my own bed Sunday night. Except that M will be gone when I get back for another work trip. Excited for next week though. Friday off and Saturday it is a bubbly tour through Napa! Yea bubbles!!!

Have a great weekend and see you all when I return.

Motivation

Oh how I lack thee. I could easily get pictures up of things that were accomplished this weekend, like picking out couches, getting picture/poster frames or even the bed frame that is up and oh so wonderful, but apparently I used up all movitivation this weekend getting those things done because there is a serious lack of motivation to do anything right now. Work, gym, blogging, hanging up the now framed pictures, laundry that needs to be folded (since that was done this weekend too).

Help!!! I seriously need some, I need to get to the gym (my little sister's wedding is in 2.5 weeks), work needs to be done due to Q1 reporting sitting directly in front of me. Ugh I seriously need some of this (images via google images):

With this:

Oh weekend where are you, except that I will be out of town for the sisters bachlorette. Oh I give in.

Its finally Friday

Oh I love Friday's and due to loving Fridays I am going to participate with my blog crush Summer on her It's Friday, I'm in love Series.

Holidays in San Francisco - Maybe the fact that only something like 35% of people in San Francisco is native, but the city knows how to do holidays. One of my favorites, the big wheel race on Easter Sunday, such a good time!

New Bed Frame - Our new bed frame arrives tomorrow! Finally, we ordered it about 2 months ago from Room & Board and it is going to be here tomorrow morning!

National Corn Dog Day - Seriously really, I wish I liked corn dogs because they are having PBR specials all day with it!

Oh Friday night come faster....

Luck of ye ol Irish

Who else is excited for tomorrow?! St. Patricks Day!! Ahhh I love holidays that call for drinking beer. So I am not a big person to wear green so while sitting on my butt tonight I painted my nails green. Yeah I guess I am showing off my ring a little bit there too. But there is my green and cheers to tomorrow. I will be absent tomorrow due to the celebrations requiring some beer so have a great hump day!

It's alive!

That would be me. Well at least for the short period between the end of year end and the beginning of Q1. So today at work, major brain freeze and I spent the day reacquainting   myself with all the lovely bloggers I follow since last week sucked my butt. And guess what Wednesday cannot come soon enough! We are leaving the office about 11:30 for lunch and then you better believe you will find my co-workers and I here:

via the king of St. Patty's Day

Yep we will be on Front Street in "front" of Harrington's and the Royal Exchange drinking plenty of my favorites. It probably will be my favorite work day ever! So if you need me on Wednesday you will find me at the corner of Front and Sacramento in SF, anyone in the area come on down! And see if you can find me, if not we could of moved along to the Irish Bank since my boss has a hard time staying in one place once he starts drinking. Oh and since our favorite Miller Lite lover is abstaining from beer, I will make sure I drink her share. Cheers to St. Patrick's Day!

Task 2 of 1,000,000

We did it we booked our phototgrapher and cinematographer for our wedding!  The lovely Travis and Candice of Serendipity Studios!

So excited. Seriously check out their website, beautiful.

Newest happy cow.

Hey everyone did you hear I am the new Happy Cow? You can check out my other blog here.

Alright obviously I am just kidding but I got a voice mail from my Dad last night that I kinda thought he was drunk but turned out he was calling me to tell me I was a cow. Well in more words and not so much telling me other than the commercial but me Dad has a way with words.  My favorite quote of my Dad's to me "You better hurry up and be kid ready your drying up".  Really Dad?!?! Well I am off to run errands. The Room and Board guys were here right at 10:30 and were awesome! Highly recommend them just due to their customer service.

Hope everyones Saturday is everything they want!

Party time, excellent

Oh thank goodness for Fridays (even though I have to work this weekend, at least it is at home).

M got back last night from his trip and apparently will not be heading out on anymore, I would not be surprised if that changes come Monday. So he took today off and guess what he is doing, yep jumping out of the plane. I found this picture picture on Bay Area Skydiving's photo gallery.  See those yellow legs and orange shirt. Thats my boy jumping to his life content.

So he is back from Texarkana and tomorrow morning.  I am getting me some of these. Hello luvr, delish!

It probably has something to do with the fact that the word cake is in them but pancakes I could eat breakfast lunch and dinner, with a side of hash browns. I cannot wait for tomorrow!

Also happening tomorrow, our bedstands are arriving! Between 10:30 and 12:30 tomorrow I will be patiently waiting for the truck from Room and Board to arrive with our bed stands. We still have to wait on the bed frame, but it is supposed to be here by the end of the month.

Saturday night, a friends b-day watching some Diamond Dave. Who is he you ask? Just the most super cool dude ever. Seriously check out his website, I am thinking, hmmmm maybe wedding material?

Well hope everyones weekend is lovely. I will be here till the CFO decides he is finally done with what he needs to give me and then I can start my work. Booooo
