Weekend Rambles..

Greetings peeps!

 

 

Are you just joining for Weekend Rambles? I like to think of this as a non-judgment, free flowng thought kind of space. I'm curious about and welcome your rambles and thoughts for today. Enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This has been a wonderfully relaxing weekend for me. Yesterday, I just chilled out for the most part and caught up on some TV watching, some sleeping, and did as much crocheting as my hands would allow. Then after going on a new food adventure for dinner(post soon to come), we went to the mall and found that Macy's was having a one day sale and was staying open till 11 o'clock. Needless to say, I bought some things. :) I've never shopped at their one day sales before, but now that I know the goodness of it..... I will go again! I hope you all have had an equally good if not great weekend! Let's do some rambling..

 

 

 

* Since we just talked about shopping.. For whatever reason, people always seem to feel the need to stop in the middle of isles and/or walkways. I don't understand this. You know there are people walking all around you, right? Yet you stop mid-stride to talk on the phone or look at something causing me (and everyone else) to bump into you. Move your stuff or you cart over to the side and get the BLEEP outta the way dude! Geez..

 

 

* Did you see what they call the 'Honey Moon'? It's always amazing to see those big orangy moons. It seems to hold a special kind of mystery when it's not the 'normal' moon color. Apparently, they call this full moon a Honey Moon, because it's more likely to stay that honey color all through the night.

 

 

* I've been crocheting lately, right? I chose this specific pattern for some baby booties that I wanted to make and it is kicking my ass! Part of the instructions didn't make sense to me and quite personally I think it's written wrong. My inner Tim Gunn said 'Make it work!' and so I did. I will not be defeated! :o) To may yarn addicts, do you have a lot of trouble with patterns?

 

 

* I've often wondered how many people really go to the theater. For whatever reason, I've had a hankering to go see a play. I think the last time I saw one was back in 2001 when I went home with my best friend for Spring Break in college! I don't need to see a big huge production. I'd be good with going to a small Playhouse. Have you gone to any plays lately?

 

 

* I'm actually sitting here watching cartoons. It's one of those times when you turn the TV on and there it is, so you watch it.. Whatever happened to Saturday morning cartoons? I used to LIVE to watch those. I would wake up sometimes at 6:30 am and start watching Muppet Babies and then I would surf through the different channels to watch my favorite ones. Didn't even need cable to watch cartoons then. Of course the morning was concluded with Saved By the Bell & California Dreams. Then it was time to get dressed and go outside and play. Good times, man. Good times.

 

 

* Speaking of childhood, we went to Academy Sports store the other day and were riding around on the bikes in the store. I literally almost ran into some shelves, because I was trying to stop and the bike was too tall for me! It was fun and I probably hadn't ridden a bike in 15 + years. I think it would be nice to go bike riding again. Do you have a bike and go riding?

 

 

 

Okay, this is it for me peoples. Have a great weekend!

 

Ciao!

 

 



The Saturday Short

Greetings Friend!

It's a cloudy and somewhat rainy day here in Atlanta, GA, yet cheerful nonetheless! The morning has been quiet with the exception of the drama our neighbors seemed to cause, but I refuse to let that put a damper on the day. You know how it goes... Every now and then a neighbor or two will have a disagreement and wake you up out of your peaceful much needed slumber with their car alarm... If nothing else it's entertaining. Especially when you get to talk about what happened with other neighbor who saw it all!

Anyhow, The Boo and I plan on getting out and about today to do some shopping! Maybe I'll find some deals and cutely rain boots to be stylishly chic in. I really like these. I'm even going to go get a picture of my aura taken (because I'm into that kinda thing) for shits and giggles.

What are you up to today?? Let me know!

Ciao!

The Saturday Short

Greetings!! 

I thought I'd share a short post today about my Saturday adventures with you. Currently I'm sitting in one of many dazzling Starbucks and sipping on a skinny vanilla latte, with sprinkles of vanilla, cinnamon,  and chocolate. Sounds good, no? 

I'm not sure what it is about Starbucks, but whenever I'm in one it makes me feel uber chic. I don't care if I look grimy or if I'm in name brand clothes, the feeling is always the same. 

I sitting back people watching and talking with you friends. Later on I'll go to the mall and probably buy something I don't need, but will absolutely love. 

What are you up to today? 

Ciao! 

Shoppers Delight

Whad up,

You've got to love holiday shopping and discounts. In past years I have gone shopping to find great discounts and I ended up buying more things for me than gifts for my friends and family! I mean.. how can you pass up a great deal? But I have a plan for next year..

1. start a Christmas savings account
2. begin my shopping after Thanksgiving
3. buy all Christmas deco and tools AFTER the holiday (great discounts)
4. finally.. buy my own gift while all the 'after Christmas sales' are going on

Now whether this all comes together, who knows.. But this is my map for success. So today I actually went to Old Navy in search for some $15 jeans. Instead I ended up with three shirts, one of which was only $1.49!!!!!!! A freakin dollar forty-nine!! You can't beat that with a stick...
So did you find any great deals?

Ciao!

Sunday Afternoon Relaxing

Wassupper?

I'm really enjoying my Sunday. I feel totally relaxed right now. I'm just sitting here enjoying the breeze flowing in from my balcony, because I have the door open and listening to R. Kelly's Happy People album and a mix of other songs. There is nothing like a day off to just do anything you want to do.

Yesterday me and Beloved felt like getting out of the house so we went to Peachtree City to do some window shopping. Of course there is shopping near us, but we were tired of going to the same old places. One of the stores we went into was Williams-Sonoma. I can't afford most of the things in there, but the staff is warm and friendly and it's nice to dream. They had some copper pots and pans in there that looked nice but were like $400.00-600.00!! I asked the saleswoman what the difference was btw them and the stainless steel. She said the only difference is, is that they look nicer on display and they heat up quicker...... I'm like this.. If I'm paying 4-600.00 dollars for a pot/pan it better talk to me and cook the meal too! I might buy that if I was rich and that price seemed like chump change, but other than that it will stay on the shelf in the store.

After shopping we went to the movies in Morrow. It was a pretty large theater and surprisingly enough it wasn't that crowded. Idk if it was like that because it was a late movie or what, but anyway... We went to go see 'The Haunting in Connecticut'. I thought that it was a good movie, but Beloved thought it was mediocre. If you have seen the trailer then you know it's about ghosts and supernatural activity. I haven't experienced any strong ghostly encounters, but I know they do exist. I have said it once and I'll say it again. You don't phuck with the spirits and death. (pardon my french) You just don't. When I think back, I now understand why my parents never let me have and mess with a Ouija board, lol. Too many bad things can happen. But I do recommend seeing it. If your expecting blood and gore, don't. It's not that type of movie.

Moving on...

I wanted to have a picture for this post (because I always do), but I forgot my camera. I like to keep it real for you and not use pictures taken by someone else. Then again.. you may not even care. But I think it adds a personal touch. :) I think I will read my newly acquired book now and pittle the day away.

Ciao!

Atlantic Station

Today I found myself downtown at Atlantic Station. It was a beautiful day and very warm outside for February. I even had my windows down. (you never realize how much dust is sitting in your car until you let the windows down after it gets warm) I like going to this area because it makes me feel like I'm in a mini New York. Its got tall buildings, condos, scaffolding, construction, shopping, restaurants, and plenty of traffic. The only thing its missing are the millions of cabs you'd see in traffic rather than normal cars. Its even complete with is own landmark like in Washington Square park.

This picture was taken from the 2nd floor in Ikea. I loooove Ikea! I generally spend so much time there fantasizing about decorating that I never go into any of the other near by shops in the area. Its sad I know... But if you've experienced the goodness of Ikea then you understand where I'm coming from.

I like looking at the condos pictured above. I've thought about taking the tour like when you go apartment hunting even though I know that I couldn't afford to live there. lol.. Would that be wrong? I know that they must look beautiful inside. Maybe one day I'll find out.
