Easter Weekend

Ten years later... a new blog post!
I have been super busy at work, hence the no posting.
But, this past weekend was wonderful.... I did nothing. Stayed in and relaxed. And ate A LOT. I never expected Easter to be a holiday where you gain weight but oh well. I guess a bag of jellybeans, cookies, and and easter basket of skittles will do that to you!

This weekend I got the urge to cook/bake some goodies.

Friday - Thomas and I cooked out and due to my stubbornness we ended up getting a pound of meat for grilling burgers. Apparently this is too much, but it was Friday at like 7 when we went to the grocery store and I was tired. So here is the biggest burger in the world.... but they were good! With bacon and cheese of course!

Also, on Friday I wanted something sweat so I made red velvet brownies with cream cheese icing courtesy of How Sweet It Is

Here's how mine came out....

They were a little heavy, but all in all delicious!

Then for Sunday morning Easter Brunch I made Paula Deens' Baked French Toast Casserole.

A whole loaf of bread....

And here's the finished product...

Quite delicious!

With our Easter lilly from church and little Easter tree!

Holy Cow... SVH

Sweet Valley High = obsession. I read them all. I loved them all.

Word on the street is that they hate each other now??? How is that possible.

Even though it's gotten HORRIBLE reviews...this quote really says it all...
"For young women eager to get lost in the world they once loved, however, bad reviews don't matter."

Hello my name is Robin and I'm a Shopaholic

This was me this past weekend.

INAPPROPRIATE.

I was on a drug and it was called "SALE" and "30% off of your entire purchase".

I bought 3 (THREE!) Pinkish/Red cocktail dresses. I have not really ever worn pink in my life, but spring has entered and taken over my body. This blog describes exactly how I feel about pinks right now: A Spot of Whimsy

This makes me smile

As does this:

I will post pics of the finds later. I will not look at my exhausted credit card bill until later as well.

Any one else been insanely over shopping at the thought of spring clothes?

Please vote

My insane indecisiveness is taking over my life.
Please pick 1 or 2 dresses for upcoming weddings.
I literally have no ability to make decisions.
Watch out there's like 10 dresses below...

This one is not for real. Maybe I've been reading too much of the Man Repeller, but this dress is horrible. I looked at it and saw two big X's on to certain areas.

Finally!

I have been watching this little shirt from Anthro like a hawk because everything there eventually goes on sale. The picture does not do it justice. The colors are gorgeous and bold and it's a perfect little boxy shirt.

Hello Deal of the Day

I came in to work a bit late today and because of that I got to see the Today show's segment (that I had never heard of) called Jill's Steals & Deals. I watched and some of it was ok, but one thing I fell in love with.

Hello, sterling silver and diamond necklace that I love on sale from $400 to $75.

Take a look to see the rest....

Recap

I was looking through photos on my phone last night and realized I had taken a lot of pictures recently with the intent to put them up on the blog, but never did it.

So here is everything all at once from my oh so exciting life.

I recently made some delicious brownies with mint chocolate chip ice cream. Heaven.

Ikat bikini from Target that I am obsessed with:

New shirt dress from Banana Republic outlet - obsessed. Please ignore the intense photo taking frown face.

New gold leather loafers also from Banana Republic outlet for..... $12.00!!!

Umphrey's McGee show in Denver

Christine and I at Galactic this past weekend. Such a good show!

Please note the AWESOME glow stick necklace that I have on.
Some guy bumped in to me and I said "Excuse me you just ran in to me."
He said "Oh no I'm so sorry"
I responded "It's ok just let me have your awesome glow stick necklace"
and he actually gave it to me!!
I was VERY excited.
