My dream house come true!!!

I have found my dream house, thanks to my friend Amy.  (Thanks Amy)  This house couldn't be more me.  I LOVE grey.  Its pretty much what the color black is to most people.  Although I don't think people would paint there walls black... but when it comes clothes.  Add a stripe and its a done deal. I constantly get yelled at when my orders come in for work cause I always get TONS of stripes.  What can I say I'm from the cape... nautical is where its at.  So any way back to what my house is gonna look like.  Amy fb'd me one day saying I had to see a house that was on the Nate Berkus show.  It could legit not be more me.  Well maybe a few more stripes but the grey is me allll the way...

Not to mention the fact that the girl made one of the bedrooms a closet cause she wanted to be able to see everything she owns.  Soooooo wicked smart of her. 

In other news I was so pumped to go to kmart and see some of these

I'm not gonna lie when I say I bought 8 and only have 2 left and that was a day ago.  Opps!  I'm going to the gym tomorrow so I think its okay.  Speaking of the gym I might die tomorrow cause I'm going with one of my besties Katie and her trainer is a nut and might kill me.  I haven't worked out in a year and I would not be surprised at all if he worked me out so hard i puked!  Ewwwwww I know.  I'll let you know how it goes if  I'm alive after the hour session!!! Ekkkkkk xoxo

What a cute.....

So this past weekend I of course worked.  Something not shocking at all cause I work in the retail world and that's when we are most busy.  A lot people would HATE this.  Me, not so much.  It could be I'm just so use to it, having worked retail since I was 13.  But more so I like it cause when everyone's at work during the week I can get everything I need to get done without having to deal with mobs of people.

So my commute to work is pretty sweet.  (On both the Cape and in Nola)  I walk about 2 blocks to work in nola and probably even less then that on the cape.  This is perfect for my little man cause it means he can get a nice little walk mid-day to go do all his business. 

So Saturday I come back to my apartment to take Brady out and eat lunch.  We go our normal route and are in the home stretch back to the apartment. I'm dreaming about my delicious chicken salad sandwich I'm going to be making when we get back inside.  About half way down the block I see a little thing run out of the parking garage that's around the corner from my apartment.  So I think in my head awwwww what a cute little chipmunk!

Then I realize something.... I'm in a city.... with not a lot of trees... and none even close to where I am right now... so that only means one thing.... its a....



That's right!  It was a RAT!!!  Eeeeeeeek!!  Now don't get me wrong, I really don't mind rats, mice, hamsters, etc.  I had a hamster when I was younger named tri-pod cause he only had 3 feet and I felt soooo bad for him at the pet store cause I figured no one else would take home a deformed hamster.  But a rodent on the street is completely different.  The little/HUGE guy ran under a car that we had to walk by and I almost had a heart attack and ran faster then I have in years!!  We made it safely by and I haven't seen him since, and really hope we never cross paths again!

Other than that the weekend was pretty uneventful.  I'm just getting back into the swing of things trying to unpack and get settled again.  The gas is shut off in my apartment and I'm not really sure when it will be back on (long story).  So for now I've been cooking with my George Foremen.  I haven't used that puppy in years and totally forgot how handy it can be. 

In breaking news I just got a TMZ News Alert on my bberry thats says 'Jersey Shore' Cast -- We're Goin' to Italy!!!  This sounds scary and ohhhhh so amazing at the same time.  Can't wait to see if this is true!!

Off to the Shore

I'm very excited for another night of these people

I think its really funny when people say they can't stand the Jersey Shore.  Come on people its mindless television.  Its something to laugh at for an hour and forget the rest of the problems in the world and laugh at Snooki.  I sware that little muffin makes everything seem better. Never mind the rest of the cast!

In other news I went grocery shopping today.  I've decided that I'm not very good at it and should probably start making a list when I go.  I always end up spending wayyyyy more then I need to.  And come home with the most random things.  And if i can't find what I want at one store I'll go to 3.  Yes that's what I did today.  3 different grocery stores just to find the chicken salad that I LOVE.  I guess you could say I went to only 2 stores to find the chicken salad cause the first whole foods I went to didn't have it.  Thank god the second did, otherwise I would have had to throw myself in the Mississippi!  And that would just be gross!!

Tonight I plan on trying to unpack cause my apartment looks like this

But In my apartment all the boxes still have stuff in them.  Ugh sometimes I hate moving.  Then I realize that if I was still up north I would have to be worrying about the snow storm that's suppose to drop a couple inches of snow on the cape.  Instead of the high of 50 we're going to be having in New Orleans tomorrow.  I'll take the 50's thanks!

Hope everyone (which is really no one cause I don't have any followers yet, Amy where are you!?!) is looking forward to the weekend.  As of right now I have no plans other than work.  Ohhhh the life of retail.  But I'm sure I'll end up doing something that involves a little vino and the ladies!!  xoxo

Here goes nothing!!

Ohhhh where to start.  If I really started from the beginning I think I would be writing for months.  I guess everything will come out in due time.  So I'll start with today... I just got back down to New Orleans from the cape after driving for 2 days with a stop in Troutville VA. Hmmm you say you've never heard of it, pretty much no one has.  But its basically the half way point and they have a Red Roof Inn (they take pets!) so thats where we stop.  Brady and I spent two solid days in the car.  He's really not much of a co-pilot.  He wont help with directions, change the music on the ipod, or even get my redbulls from the backseat!!  What a BRAT!  But he's soooo damn cute so I guess I'll let it slide.  (Older pic... he's a little more gray on his chin now... but still such a handsome)

Its good to be back down south.  I'm ready to get into the swing of things down here again and am looking forward to the busyness that comes with it.  I'm ready for lots of eating and drinking and being wild with my ladies!!  I of course already miss all my norther girls and can't wait till summer twenty-eleven with sooooo many things to look forward to... nights at the squire, sleepovers at my apartment, and maybe a few cocktail parties and bbqs.  And by a few I mean a TON!!  And of course my bestest girls engagement party!  So many exciting things to come.  Well I must be off to take my little man for a walk.  Much more to come... so check back often!! xoxo
