How is your summer going? I feel like it's going by too fast, that it's going to be gone before I know it. We're planning a fun weekend trip and I have a girls trip or two (one with the twins) which should be loads of fun. Summer mantra: I will have fun. I will have fun. :)

Monday Obsessions

Usually at this point in the summer I have a few obsessions. Mainly they involve air conditioning and dreaming about upcoming vacations.  But I have had a few things on my mind for this week -- summer food, projects, and blue skies.  

San Pelle Limonta! 

Mainly I just want to drink this over ice with vodka on a patio.  It's like lemonade but fizzier (a.k.a better).  Healthy people beware -- just have one at a time it has quite a bit of sugar in it (it is swimsuit season after all).  


Another thing I can't get enough of this summer is fresh watermelon.   Especially now that we are into August and the humidity is killing me. 

Rustoleum Metallic Spray Paint
After the incident that year with the plants I bought from Lowe's I have strictly been a Home Depot girl.  I picked up some Rustoleum Metallic Paint (as the Pinterest Gods have deemed it "the best" metallic spray paint out there) for my Ikea Vittsjo hack and I am really, really impressed with it.  So much so that I would like to spray everything in my home gold.  


Hope you are all having a happy Monday obsessing over happy things.

Wordsday

Judging from the stats "Wordless Wednesday" isn't all that popular...except this week has been stressful and hard already so it's a good thing we run a dictatorship here on this blog and not a democracy. I kid. But seriously, y'all are getting mo' pictures today.  And mo' words on Wordsday...get it???? OK I'll stop now.


This weekend I was strolling through Target and these drew me right in.  I spent $20 for 6 blooms which is not typically my flower budget, but I had a $25 gift card and they were just too gorgeous.  I am overwhelmed with their happy, pink, joyfulness every time I walk into the house. Totally worth the price!  


Saturday afternoon was spent at the pool with The Housewife and #1. We took turns dipping her into the pool and swimming her around. Then, it was back to my place for pizza! {Except she had some crackers first...hence the spot on her sweet face!}





I took the words "Sunday Funday" to heart and had a wonderful three hour brunch with Elise at Varasano's in Atlanta. It's located at the bottom of a giant condo building on Peachtree which meant that we had complete shade and a light breeze on the patio until 3 p.m. I had wine, but I will have to return since they have $10 bottomless mimosas, bellini's, and Bloody Mary's on the menu.   I also ended up heading home...and the to PURE with 3 Putt for margs and dinner. Needless to say I was quite toasted by the end of the evening and fell right to sleep. {Big thanks to 3 Putt for a lovely meal and for fixing all those fuses that blew during the storm.}



In other news I have been pretty down and grumpy this week. I am trying my best to have a good attitude about being the main person assisting with files that belonged to a rep that quite my office...but, I am SO over getting yelled at because of things that person never did or returned calls that person never made.  And, I am over fraud training classes that are 1 hour each. Stab. My. Eyes. Out. I have also just been stressed about my car and trying to get it repaired so it will pass emissions before my birthday. It needs a lot of work which equals a lot of money out of my small savings account. 

But...the UPS man made a surprise visit to my house today and I was overwhelmed with a generous gift from Little A.  I felt so much better and it reminded me that if nothing else, I have great friends who will listen and support me in these hard times and you can't really ask for much more than that.  Even so, a little kate spade doesn't hurt! 


Love you. Mean it.
