Lazy Days of Summer

I'm feeling super lazy today..Actually ever since we've home from vacation I've been lazy..not feeling like doing much..except going to the gym..I've been tired too..

Hmmmm...

This weekend I ate waaaaay too much..I felt like I did anyway..

On Friday night Mike came home with the fixins to make Mann Cheese Steak sandwiches and sweet potato french fries..We kicked off our anniversary weekend with some good grub and way too many Chi Chi's..I had too many, Mike had none..

On Saturday, our 11th anniversary, we woke up, had donuts..went on a hike..Mike mowed..I took a nap..and then we took the kiddos out to dinner to the Kabab House..where I ate too much and came home feeling fat full..It was a super romantical day..not! We also had a super rad thunderstorm that night which knocked the power out for a couple hours..I love me a good thunderstorm!

We need to get more candles..just sayin.

On Sunday Mike and the kiddos went to Church..I stayed home with the bambino..who is teething( super grumpy and feverish)..but we did meet up with them for some yummy Mexican food at Chuy's..where I ate waaay too much and came home feeling fat full again..Then Mike went golfing and I did nothing..when he got home Emme and I went to the movies and saw Ramona and Beezus..super cute movie!

I really hadn't planned on talking about my weekend in this post..it somehow just ended up that way..

Um..our 11th Anniversary was probably the most uneventful one in our history of marriage..it kinda sucked!

Oh well!

It will be made up to me next year (right Mike?!)

Anyway..I also haven't posted the last day of Adventures in Mannland..and I don't know if I'm going to..even though I said I would, but I will tell you that we went to a awesome botanical garden, called..

Garvan Woodland Gardens

It was super pretty..and hot..

That's just one of the many pictures I took..

Did you notice something..I took off my followers widget..I was tired of seeing it..tired of you seeing it..tired of it taunting me..tired of constantly losing followers (stop unfollowing, I don't get it!)..just tired.of.it.

Hmmm..I sound kinda grumpy in this post..I promise I'm not!

Happy Monday!

---------------------------------------------

1. Thong or Granny Panties?

Thong.

2. If you see a guy with his fly down, do you tell him?

If I know him..sure..if I don't..probably not..One time I was in the grocery store..and this couple kept staring at me..and I didn't know why..well after I left the store, I realized my fly had been down the whole time..I figured that's why they were staring..not cause they were overwhelmed by my hotness..;-)

3. Spanx or no Spanx?

I hate being spanked..;-) Oh..we're not talking spanks..No Spanx.

4. Do you sleep in your sheets?

It depends..I sleep in sweats, so I tend to get hot and not want anything on me..if I'm cold, yes.

5. What is your favorite Disney character?

Hannah Montana ;-)

6. Dream vacation spot?

Anywhere..I love to travel..just going somewhere would be dreamy..

7. What is your dream job?

Working at Anthropologie..only when I felt like it though..I wouldn't want a set schedule..the discount would be suhweet!

8. Who is your hero and why?

Mike, cause he puts up with me. ;-) He really is though..he's the best!

Your turn!

On your mark..

Get set..

Gooooo!!

Happy Sunday!

Adventures in Mannland (with picture overload) Part 2

Before I start Part 2..I just want to apologize again for killing Thursday 5 on my blog..I'm feeling a little guilty about it..BUT, there are a couple of great girls that have started it up on their blogs..

Same thing as mine..just on different blogs..

Here are the links..

Legally Brunette

Life as a Sailor Girl

Now the adventure (part 2) begins..

So Part 1 was all about our arrival and our first whole day in Hot Springs..If you missed it you can read Part 1 here.

So now we're onto day 2..last Friday.  We woke up..ate breakfast and headed out to the streets of Hot Springs..I don't think that I mentioned that Hot Springs is a National Park. So, smack dab in the middle of town is this beautiful mountain..well, more like a large hill.  We decide to hike up the hill..it has trails leading to the top..

Well, let me just tell you..we were not prepared for hiking, I was in a dress and sandals..getting my cute on..The kids were also just wearing flip flops..Mike was the only "smart" one with his tennis shoes on..We also had Edyn who was in the stroller..and it was hella hot and humid!!

Here is our hike in pictures..

We started off by just walking on The Promenade..

Pretty view of Hot Springs..

Pretty little water fall..

Mike in a cave-ish type thing..

Emme pretending to be a cavegirl or something..

 

Just one of the many flight of stairs Mike had to carry the stroller up..

Carrying the stroller..

Um..I think this picture pretty much speaks for itself..

So does this one..someone didn't like hiking..

Made it to the top, actually, not the top top, but pretty close..at the top is an observation tower..

.

He's a little happier now..

On our way down we saw some wildlife..

By the time we got down the hill mountain I was drenched in sweat and so was Mike..So we went back to our room to change, I changed into workout clothes and tennis..then we headed back out to town (more walking) and checked out the Bath Houses..Back in the day Hot Springs was known for it's Bath Houses..the hot water from the spring was known to have healing powers so people would flock to them..They still have some working ones..we toured one that wasn't a working one anymore..I would show you the pictures, but I'm tired of uploading..

We walked around for a long time, then went back to our room..rested..I worked out..we had $1 cocktails in the lounge (too many, just sayin) and ordered pizza and ate dinner in our room..

And that was our Friday..

Part 3 coming up!!

A Mystery..

I went to Victoria's Secret today with the kiddos..

I bought some underwear panties and a tank top..

I come home, do my thang for awhile.. then decide to take out my purchases and admire them..

And to my surprise I find this at the bottom of the bag..

It's actually a tester, doesn't have a cap and it's 3/4 of the way full..

I have absolutely no clue how it found it's way into my bag..the kids "claim" they don't know how it got in there either..and they "say" the baby didn't grab it off the shelf..

Hmmm..

So the question is..How did it get into my innocent bag..did the saleslady smell me and think..hmm..she could use this, cause I did forget to put deoderant on..or did she accidently put it in there..

It's such a mystery..

One I will probably never figure out..

Good thing is..it smells great good..I haven't worn perfume in years and now I can start and it was free!!!

should I return it?
