Me Mimi Weekend

Weekend WrapUp–Birthday Edition

Hi!

I hope everyone had a great weekend. My birthday was on Saturday and surprisingly and I really kept it low key….I’ll just say I was saving the “Turn Up” for next year when I turn 35. If you don’t get the “Turn Up” reference…don’t feel bad, being that I’m 34 I should probably refrain but y’all know me #classyratchet

Friday night, I was in an all around funky mood. You know that mood you get in when nothing is really wrong but you just want to be funky. As I was laying in the bed I had an epiphany that a trip to Target would make me feel better. At 8:30p I got out of the bed, headed out to my local Target and bought a bunch of nothing…wouldn’t you know, an instant pick me up!!

Well the mood lifter was short lived because Saturday I woke up with the same issues…moody and add indecisive because at that point I still wasn’t sure what I would be doing for my birthday. I finally put together a quick dinner with my girls from college at one of my favorite restaurants in the Virginia Highlands area of Atlanta. We had a great dinner at Murphy’s, we drank, ate and laughed hysterically. Reminds me that we need to get together more often.

My birthday dinner

A very classy birthday dinner amongst best friends.

I would say it was definitely a turn down from last year!!

Sunday, I woke up and did a little thrift and grocery shopping prior to taking Addison for an afternoon showing of Charlotte’s Web at the Alliance Theater. It was her first play and she did well up until the last 15 minutes. The play was only an hour but her little attention span is still very fickle.

How was your weekend? Anything exciting?!

Life Random

Friday Ramblings and a Bunch of Nothing

Hey!

So much going on in my head that I think it is high time I come here and let it all go…cause we are cyber homegirls..right?!!

Riiiiiight!

So let’s get into the major car repair that I had to get done this week and my car still didn’t pass the emissions test..

Or, let’s talk about why the new house still hasn’t had the foundation poured and they are trying to deny our short sale on this house.

How about the fact that my Mirena is going all kinds of wonky and I’m just not ready for either of us to be permanently sterilized…although we don’t want any more children.

Should I mention that tomorrow is my birthday and I have nothing planned as of 1:05p on Friday afternoon.

Then there is ALWAYS the bright side of things like:

Half full

WORD!!!!

The uncontrollable belly laugh I got when Addison got an attitude with me because she didn’t want to put her seat belt on and says to me, ” I didn’t want to put those spraps on.” Spraps…as in straps?! I hollered, OMG. I don’t think I laughed that hard in a good while. Lawd…children!

My neighbors WON the contest. I am so happy for them. They get the dream wedding of a lifetime. I plan on asking her if she would like me to tag along when she is picking out everything to photograph her journey. I am so happy for them. I figured that could be one of my gifts to them, capturing the  journey in photos up until their wedding day.

My son is playing baseball this spring. He hasn’t played before and he isn’t really good at it and I think he is starting to get discouraged. The Mr. is talking about getting him some private lessons. I am not on board with that. He will learn the good old fashioned way if I have anything to do with it.

I am considering going back to work. I enjoy being home because it allows me the opportunity to work on my own business ventures but I really want some play money. That sounds super selfish but hey!! Then I think about my problem with authority and I just may need to keep grinding it out at the crib..we’ll see.

I’ve taken on some social media clients so my days have become very busy . I am trying to keep up with your blogs and commenting but I am a little behind. My plan is to TRY to give one day a week to these things so don’t disown me! I also ask that you understand if I don’t comment on your blog that you accept my interactions on Twitter, Instagram,etc.. I’m not really into people connecting with me here and I not return the favor on some SM outlet. I see you, I appreciate you, I’m getting around to you!

I think that’s all I have for now. There will be some new additions to the blog in the coming month. Nothing drastic but just an expansion of content and more actual writing than just ramblings. I’m trying to position my brand to receive freelance work. All of this takes time, energy and sanity. Three things I’m running real low on right now.

Thank y’all for reading. See you on Monday with my birthday weekend wrapup… I don’t know exactly what I am doing but I will be TURNT UP!!

Fashion Style Me Friday

Style Me Friday..Sweatpants and High Heels

I missed last week because the weather was nasty and I couldn’t get outside to take pictures but I’m back this week rocking sweatpants and high heels!

These pants are proof that trends are cyclical. I bought these pants in 2000. They came with a track jacket that had Bebe across the back. I thought it was the flyest set ever. However in the span of 13 years and endless amounts of moving the jacket got lost in the shuffle, however the pants have been loyal along the journey. I actually use them as my house pants and if they didn’t have paint stains on them I would probably rock them outside but in their current state they are only good for Style Me Friday photos taken in my backyard!! The jacket is equally as old. I think I purchased it with my first paycheck at my first real job…AHHHHH..that’s my slide down the rabbit hole memory lane!

Look Back at it….Look Back at it

The pants even have a little zipper on the side to turn them into more of a bootcut..Yes, my feet are ashy
