Random thoughts of the day...

Hi everyone! How was everyone's weekend? My bff Lindsey and her husband Matt came to visit (they attended a wedding on Friday night, so they stayed with us).  You saw my pic from Friday night- we played whirlyball! And boy am I sore! My husband has serious bruises on his foot and his stomach.
Here's a video if you've never heard of Whirlyball- you are basically in bumpercars playing basketball with little scoops and a plastic ball.


It's pretty crazy and REALLY HARD to score, but it was a good time.  There's a bar right next to the court, and what is interesting is that as everyone drank more, we got better at whirlyball.... coincidence? I think not!

Since my friend was in town, we went out to dinner a couple times - Twisted Taco and Ippolito's - and played Cranium!!! and some Wii bowling and tennis.

And my husband and I crammed in the entire 3rd season of True Blood in 2 days and watched the 4th season premiere on Sunday... I've read all the Southern Vampire Series books, and they are taking serious liberties with the story, but I think it's an interesting twist that it jumped forward a year.   I think it'll be interesting that Bill is now the snooty politician, and I sooo hope they'll go ahead and let Sookie & Eric start their love story! 

So, that was my weekend... has anyone else played whirlyball? And what did you think about True Blood?

Lake Weekend!

I'm really excited about this weekend because we're headed up to Lake Lanier for Memorial Day. One potential snafu, however, is the weather. It's supposed to rain every day this weekend (plus Monday). I'm hoping it'll stick to normal Georgia summer weather- super hot and sunny during the day then a thunderstorm for about 30 minutes then nice hot weather again.

In anticipation of summer, I've picked out some cute etsy summery finds!

...i was takin a bath...

ok, not really, but i might as well be, considering how much it has been raining here lately.
but it's been effing HOT. & normal raincoats just simply do not work for the heat.
and it got me thinking that i seriously need to consider getting a raincoat that's super cute and lightweight for summer.
and a short time of slacking off at work googling later, i have discovered some awesome lightweight, short-sleeve waterproof goodness!

Left to right: Gardenia Coral Zip Jacket by Moncler, on sale at S Sense for $384 (apparently it's normally $767, i dunno who would pay that for a spring raincoat, but hey, to each her own.) Silver "Sass" Jacket (I really just like the name Sass) by Andrew Marc, on sale for $140 at Bluefly.com. Yellow jacket by PINKO at YOOX, $375. (Also available in super cute hot pink but it must be sold out...)
