Beautiful nail... Just one!

I am having writer's block today, so I decided to share a funny video instead of just rambling on. I know most everyone (guys included) have been to a nail salon before and can relate to this.

Enjoy!!! 

I've decided to start a weekly blog tradition on Wednesdays, "I want it Wednesday" where I will talk about one thing I've been lusting over lately. If you want to link up, let me know and I will try to figure out all the link up stuff. I'm not too technology savvy, so it might take me a little while to figure that out. Anyway, come back tomorrow to see what I've been drooling over for the last two months week. 

This girl needed coffee...

Yesterday, I met my friend Lacey for coffee and a little shopping downtown. I absolutely love downtown Petaluma. Scenes from the movies American Graffiti and Peggy Sue Got Married were filmed here. There are a bunch of old buildings and charming locally owned shops. Yesterday was the perfect day to walk around outside and enjoy the sunshine.

I knew I was tired, but didn't realize how spaced out I was. I was standing behind Lacey in line at Peet's, half scanning the menu and half listening to her order (mostly just zoning out), when I felt a tap on my shoulder. Apparently, another line had opened up and the cashier had been trying to get my attention. I have no idea how long she had been trying to get my attention, but the nice guy in line behind me let know it was my turn to order. The cashier said, "Someone really needs coffee..." It was quite embarrassing, but also gave me a good laugh. If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at right?! Who sits at Peet's so long that they decide they might as well order another cup of coffee for the walk? That's right, these girls do!

I made two great purchases yesterday, an adorable sheer fuchsia top from Ooh La Loft and Essie Turquoise and Caicos nail polish from Blush.I'm so ready for Spring and Summer!!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Happy Monday!!!

Hello, Friday! I've been waiting for you!

Ah, finally Friday! Is anyone else as excited for Friday as I am? The fact that it is Friday the 13th isn't even getting me down!

Things I'm looking forward to this weekend/upcoming week: 

1. My dinner date at Olive Garden with my gorgeous friend, Alisha. I'm soooo ready for a carb overload, a glass of wine and some good girl talk. You just can't beat girls nights! 

Me, Becca and Alisha - Scenario: The look you would have if someone told you Team Jacob was better than Team Edward. Ha! 

2. Dinner at Cheesecake Factory and our camp in tomorrow night with Ashley and Daniel (otherwise known as Smashley and Chewing Boy). And yes, I said camp in, not camp out. We are going to have a sleepover in the living room, complete with camping chairs, sleeping bags and a cooler. We might even make a fire in the fireplace and make s'mores!

3. Coffee date on Sunday with my friend, Lacey. I have an addiction to coffee! I can't get enough of it! The caffeine doesn't do much for me, but I just love the warm feeling it gives me inside. I was talking to a friend about coffee the other day and he said coffee is like a good hug. I couldn't agree with that more. 

4. I am so excited to get my headwrap and necklace order from the lovely Morgan at Momma to Binks&Bubble. If you haven't checked out her shop, Adie's Lovelies, you should head on over right now and check it out. She makes some seriously cute stuff and even does custom orders all while juggling two kids and a hubby. I don't know how she does it! 

Those are a few of the upcoming things I'm excited for. I'm ready for a good weekend filled with friends and laughter! I hope y'all have a FABULOUS weekend!!!

The Last Thing Thursdays

I'm linking up with Jenna at The Life of the Wife again for her last thing Thursdays. I've missed the last two Thursdays, but I'm back on track now! I really love this link-up! I've found new blogs that I love and made new friends thanks to Jenna (who is amazing by the way)!

The Last Thing I...

Ate: A bowl of Special K. I rarely eat breakfast, but was starving this morning. I am out of almond milk and it's the one thing Jeremy forgot to get at the store last night, so I had to use regular milk. Blech! Almond milk is soooo much better and lower in calories. 

Drank: Water!!! I had a little bit too much wine last night, so I am in need of hydration! 

Laughed At: This video I saw on Ashley's blog yesterday. Taylor Swift cracks me up!!!

Cried At: The last thing I remember crying about was Rue dying in the Hunger Games movie. I was disappointed that they downplayed Katniss and Rue's friendship in the movie, but I still cried when she died. 

Bought & Loved: Barielle Gel Top Coat. I hate painting my nails because the polish chips off after one day and I can't stand having chipped polish. This stuff is amazing! My nail polish didn't chip for 3 days and then when it did start chipping, it just peeled right off without nail polish remover! 

Read: The lovely B at B in the Bay "lent" me A Charmed Place. It was a great book filled with love, hatred, mystery and murder. Next on the reading list is 50 Shades of Grey. If any of you have read it, let me know what you think. 

Blog I started following: Lauren Rebecca. I came across her blog while browsing blogs this morning and was drawn in by her post today. If you aren't already following her, you should go check out her blog. 

Enough about me for today, head on over to The Life of the Wife and link-up! Come on, you know you want to! 

Vegas Day 4

Saturday March 31 was our last full day in Vegas. We went to the Flamingo to enjoy our last buffet on the 24 hour buffet pass we had. The buffet had a whole room full of desserts, including cotton candy! I felt like I was 5 years old again, I was so excited for that cotton candy! After lunch, we walked around the Strip for awhile and then went back to our hotel to lounge at the pool. For dinner, we went to RA Sushi Bar and ate WAY too much sushi and had a couple of yummy fish bowl drinks. I was very proud of Jeremy, he actually tried seared tuna! He hates seafood, which really sucks for me since I could pretty much live on it! After dinner, we went back to our hotel and got ready to go to PURE nightclub at Casear's Palace. Dev was there promoting her new album and even put on a free concert. Christina and I had a blast seeing as we got free vodka drinks until midnight! The boys were a little tired and knew that we had to get up early and make the long drive home the next day, so they decided to go back to the hotel. Christina and I weren't ready for our fun time in Vegas to end, so we decided to walk around and see where the night took us. We ended up meeting a lot of really cool people and stopped at many different hotels for a drink. We were having so much fun, we didn't even realize it was almost 5 AM. The whole vacation was a blast, but I think Christina and I's adventurous late night trip is something I will never forget!

Mmmm.... Cotton Candy!!! 

 Love my Lil C!!! 

This drink was DELICIOUS!!! 

Yummy sushi! Sadly, this wasn't even half of our food

I think it's safe to say I had the best 30th birthday party ever!!! Whatever 30 has to bring, I am ready for it! 30 is the new 20 right?!? 

Vegas Day 3

After staying out dancing until 3 AM, I was surprised that all four of us were dressed and ready to go to lunch at 11:00 AM. Randy, Christina, Jeremy and I shared a room and four people trying to get ready in one small hotel room can be pretty time consuming. We decided to go to Paris and do the 24 hour buffet for $45. You can't beat your choice of 4 buffets for 24 hours for $45! While we were eating lunch, Jeremy got a text saying that Little Big Town (my favorite band) was signing autographs at Serendipity 3. So, we headed over there as soon as we got done eating. Unfortunately, we were too late for the signing. But... I did get a picture with Phillip and I got to talk to Kim. Luckily, I already have a ticket and a t-shirt with their signatures. I've seen them in concert 5 times, I think you could say I'm a little obsessed with them.

That afternoon, we put on our bathing suits, made some drinks and headed for the pool. Before we even walked in, the lifeguard told us we couldn't bring any outside food or drinks in. Since the pool was closing in an hour anyway, we just decided to go back to our hotel room and get ready to go out that evening. Christina and I weren't too happy with our outfits for the evening, so we decided to head to Miracle Mile and do a little shopping at H&M. We both found shirts we were happy with and changed into them while we were there. We hit up another buffet for dinner and then stopped for Irish Car Bombs on the way back to the hotel. We stayed in that night and just relaxed in our hotel room. All in all, it was a very good day!

We're sexy and we know it! Lol! 

Too much fun? Never!

You don't know this dance move? The drunk dying bug will be all the rage before you know it! 

Is it obvious that Christina and I like to take pictures? As I said in the last post Vegas Day 2,  best sister-in-law in the world!!!
