Nook'd Up

A.Drama.B and I went shopping a bit. We both enjoyed a much needed pedicure and ran some errands. We are taking a yoga class that starts on Wednesday and had to get yoga mats and before we headed home we popped into Barnes.
I've been eyeing an e-reader for awhile and since no one would buy me one I decided I deserved something new.. and I had some money burning a hole in my pocket. Won't lie it was a little big of an impulse buy. I knew I wanted a color and I knew I wanted a touch screen.

I normally would have researched the heck out of a purchase like this. But I went with the Nook Tablet. I like being able to take it to the store should anything happen to it. I think this will help motivate me to read more. I LOVE that I can read magazines on the Nook, it's pretty much my favorite part! I love to read magazines but they are so big and you can't easily carry multiple ones around. You can even check out books from the Library! I'm pretty happy with my purchase, I needed a new toy. :D

The Black Hole of February

February has been like a black hole in the calendar year. I have accomplished next to nothing this month. I'm pretty much ready for it to just be over and on to March already. I think everyone is ready for Spring to finally take up permanent residence.

I did manage to get out of the house last night and I got all dressed up too! I went to a murder mystery dinner with a Mardi-Gras theme. I played on a team where Belle Arcenaux was our lead character.

Belle Arcenaux is the catty urbanite housewife that knows absolutely everyone’s business in the neighborhood. A rich source of the latest gossip, Belle keeps the drama going among the wives of the French Quarter. The saying ‘keep your enemies close’ explains why Belle has a flock of her ‘friends’ with her at all time. They all know that if they’re with Belle –they won’t be the subject of any malicious tittle-tattle!

Here's a few pics, I'm pretty sure this is going to become my new weekend attire. I look hot!

Birthday Week: A Day-by-Day

Monday: Monday, blah, blah. Typical, nothing to report.

Tuesday: Blaher, nothing to report

Wednesday: Happy 26th Birthday to me! I got lots of nice texts and facebook birthday wishes from my friends! Thank you all so much! I had birthday pizza dinner with the family and ate way too much. * Happy Birthday to me * Upgraded my phone to the new iPhone 4s!! :D I love it.

Thursday: Blah again, wish it was Friday. Nothing to report.

Friday: OL gave me a good scolding on my lack of gym/eating well this week I was sad, but she was right. She wouldn't even let me make any excuses, she wasn't havin' it :( then I went to a Hockey game after work, I'd never been before and I liked it, I would definitely go back, so anytime ya wanna go :D

Saturday: Lazy bum day. Procrastinated and put things off I should have been working on. Rented 'Warrior' it was good.

Sunday: Chicago for the International Motorcycle Show AND the Auto show. Long day. I love the Ford Edge. I hate driving around Chicago, people are stupid, roads should not have that many lanes and exits. We survived. and 'The Walking Dead' returned to TV.

Weeeee! Weeeeeeee! Pure.Adrenaline.

This year was a pretty quiet birthday passing, which is bound to happen from time to time. I had great mini-nights of fun low key things with the people who look out for me on a day to day. I don't know what I would do without you guys! Thanks for all the gifts and well wishes. I had a great birthday week!

and don't worry OL back on track this week I promise! :) Wish me luck that I didn't do too much damage this week or at least anything that can't be undone with a little more hardwork and sweat.
