Let's start with a flash back to last week...

Have you ever been to Patient First? Have you even been at 8:00 at night? Have you ever been and shared your visit with every single person in Richmond that has the flu? Worst.Experience.Ever. Glad that's over!

This past weekend, hubby and I starting registering for baby girl. Wow, was that overwhelming! I have been doing lots of research on must have registry items and I still did not feel prepared when faced with aisles and aisles of baby items at Babies R'Us.

Isn't that presh?! It is one of the little treasures on our registry. Baby girl will be preparing to be a Delta Zeta in her pink & green preppy bib.

It turns out that once we figured out how to navigate the store {and how to get our scanner gun to work...of course we had a faulty one!} we didn't have much time left to register. I had discovered some unused P.F. Changs gift cards in my purse earlier in the week and we had dinner reservations waiting for us. This ended up being for the best because we have had the chance throughout the week to look online and talk about what we want and need for baby so we are ready for round #2 this weekend.

Sunday was spent organizing our documents and information for our tax man. We are not even doing our own taxes and this still took me all day. Repeat after me..."I solemly swear to keep all of my business records and expenses organized this year. For real." But taxes are yucky and uninteresting so enough on that.

On to something juicy...I just caught up on the season finale of Vanderpump Rules. Any other fans out there? I'll save the spoiler, but all I have to say is that I am seriously mad at Jax. I really had higher hopes for him {as if I actually know him and he would care what I think...isn't that what reality tv is all about?!}

I'm sure the reunion next week will be just as trashy interesting.

I also wanted to share some exciting news that I contributed a post to The Belly Blog over at the website What's In My Belly? What's In My Belly is a super fun FREE site for creating a baby pool guessing game. You know I am going to be creating one. I will let you all know when it's up so you can join the fun!

Until then check out my post about "6 Pregnancy-Safe (& Drug-Free) Remedies to Sooth that Cold". Here are some lovelies that are included in my post. Any other Lushies out there?

I hope you have had a fabulous and random Tuesday!

Tuesday Randomness

Well it's been a little quiet around here lately. I go through phases where I feel like I have lots of great ideas and things to share, and then times like now, where I feel like I don't really have anything majorly awesome to share, so I sit here quietly instead.

Well friends, I am not being a wallflower anymore. This is the start of Tuesday Randomness...not to be confused with the "weekend update" posts floating around blog land. Knowing myself, it may not stay "Tuesday" randomness...we might have Thursday or Sunday randomness instead one week. Let's just see what happens!

So here are some of my recent thoughts and experiences, that don't deserve their own post, but maybe together they will be worth a read. :)

Fair warning: You will not walk away from this post with a fabulous new recipe, a super cute DIY project, fashion inspiration, or anything else worth pinning {any other Pinterest addicts here?!}. So, here goes...

Friday evening hubby and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner and it was seriously the most delicious thing I have eaten in awhile. So not healthy and so worth it. We shared wings in 3 different sauces: medium, spicy garlic, and asian zing. We also ordered fried pickles. Oh.my.yum. Even hubby liked them, which is really random and surprising, but it made me a happy girl.

Hmmm...I can't really focus right now because I started watching last night's episode of Vanderpump Rules on dvr. I really didn't mean to get sucked into this show but it just happened...

Ok, I'm back. Monday was fabulous because it was a teacher work day AND we had a 2 hour delay. Not necessarily ideal when you have the whole day to actually accomplish things in your classroom (this NEVER happens), but am I going to turn down the chance to have a few extra hours to sleep in and a relaxing morning? NO.

Then, Monday evening I had a blate (blogger date) with Samantha from Designer in Teal. We went to get some frozen yogurt at Sweet Frog. It was so fun to get to know her better and enjoy some yummy yogurt. I had the most delish flavor...toasted marshmallow! My go to toppings at Sweet Frog are the fresh fruit, shredded coconut, mini chocolate chips, and marshmallow drizzle {ok, ok my cup is the bigger one...don't judge}.

Finally, today was amazing because we had a high of 74 degrees here. The first amazing part of this was that my kids were able to get outside for recess for the first time in TWO WEEKS. Any teachers here? If so you understand how serious this recess situation was getting. Then I got to sneak out of work early {leave early coupon for getting my report cards done ahead of time...go me!} and I came home and sat on the deck and read for an hour. It was lovely. Its amazing how a little warmth and sunshine can affect you. It was like a happy breath of fresh air.

This evening I went to watch hubby's dodgeball game. I wanted to support him but I also surprisingly got into the game. I am totally not into sports, but it was so fun to see what I think of as a simple childhood game get super intense. Hubby's team won (yay!) and they played so well. Adult dodgeball is serious business!

Well that is the end of Tuesday Randomness. May the rest of your week be random and wonderful!
