Weekend Snapshots | Nov. 15-17, 2013

Last weekend Mom came and stayed with me. We stayed in on Friday night and watched the Hallmark channel. I cannot get enough of their Christmas movies. Saturday morning I got up and cooked biscuits, gravy and scrambled eggs and then we went shopping at Hobby Lobby. I could not resist the 50% off Christmas sale. Even though I am pretty sure they have that almost all of the time.  Lucy got lots of attention the entire weekend. Sunday was my Mom's birthday. We did a little birthday shopping on QVC and I made lasagna and cheddar garlic cheese biscuits (the Red Lobster boxed mix - so good!). I hardly took any pictures. It was a fun relaxing weekend.  

Weekend Snapshots | Nov. 8-10, 2013

Last weekend some friends came and stayed with me. We tailgated for several hours until it was so cold we decided to go back to the house and finish watching the game (Bama vs. LSU). Although a stressful game, we won! RTR!

Five | Tuscaloosa, AL

On the Sunday of Alumnae Weekend, Anna, Ashley and I went to Five for brunch. Look at all those chandeliers. I couldn't stop looking at the ceiling. I cannot wait to go back. I ordered the Five Burrito and a Bellini. Everything was good! 

Weekend Snapshots | Nov. 1-3, 2013

Life has gone crazy over here. Everything is starting to settle down. Here is what I have been up to lately in list form. I love making lists...

• My Mom was in the hospital and had surgery. She is out now and doing good! I don't know about you but when my Mama's sick my world is turned upside down. 
• I have been keeping Lucy for Mom. She is a handful and a half. She may look sweet but she is a diva. She cannot stay at home alone. She whines so loud my neighbors can hear. She sounds like a child so I am pretty sure if I left her alone they would call the police thinking a human child was being abused in my house. But you cannot help but love her, she has the sweetest puppy eyes. 
• This weekend I bought several items for my house. I finally found a shower curtain I liked for my bathroom. I might have went a little crazy at the mattress store and bought a king size bed for my room. For me, by myself I don't really need a bed that large but my bedroom is huge. I am not complaining I just don't know what else to put in it haha. I thought it might fill it up some but my room makes a king size bed look small... 
• It is finally feeling like Fall around here. I had my first cup of the season of foamy mocha hot chocolate this weekend and have been wearing boots! Boots are my favorite. 

AΔX Alumnae Weekend | Fall 2013

Dancing Queen's family dinner at Glory Bound

October 4-6, 2013 was Alumnae Weekend for my sorority. It was also Homecoming for UA. It was a lot of fun getting to meet some of the girls. Anna, Perry and I went to the game but did not stay long since we were getting scorched in the sun. It was a fun weekend and it brought back many memories of the "good old days". 

My 26th Birthday | Santa Rosa Beach

beach = no makeup

Trey don't hate me for this picture. I just could not bring myself to crop you out...

For my actual birthday we stayed in, watched Alabama beat Ole Miss and ate lots of delicious finger foods. Anna did an amazing job on those cupcakes! I have such amazing friends! I wish everyone could have been there. 

Donut Hole Bakery Cafe | Santa Rosa Beach

The Donut Hole is my new all time favorite breakfast place. We went twice for breakfast while we were at the beach. The first time we ordered to go and brought it back to everyone at the house. I got the breakfast sandwich without lettuce, tomatoes or mayo and on a biscuit. So basically a bacon egg and cheese biscuit with a side of hash browns (that is a little bit of the gravy I tried on the side). I guess the sandwich is normally really large so they gave me two biscuits. I had leftovers for another breakfast.  Leigh ordered some donut holes since you can't go to the Donut Hole and not order donut holes. They tasted just like Krispy Kreme donuts. Which is a good thing. They were really good. The next time we went we stayed there and ate. I tried to be somewhat healthier and order a veggie omelet instead of my beloved bacon egg and cheese biscuit. It was good but not as good as the biscuit. The cheese grits were amazing though.
