Weekend Snippets

I need more time in the day. 24 hours does not give me enough time to do the things I need to do, especially when I'm busy. I know we've all been there, right? And, I say it all the time that I like being busy, but I am also the girl that LOVES a good nap. Haha! Beggars can't be choosers, so here's to being busy and loving *almost* every last second of it.

So, while I only have a couple minutes before bed I'll share with you guys some highlights {albeit camera phone lovelies} from the weekend. Ready? Ok, let's do this like they do speed dating.

And we're off...

Friday after school I met up with my best friend, who just recently moved back home after being in Texas for 5+ years, and my husband for la comida mexicana. We had lovely conversation and then after dinner made a pit stop at Target.

I came for one thing only and I left with well, that one thing plus the usual 5 or so items I'm sure we don't need. You're such a charmer, Target!

The pillow is navy blue and a complete trellis knock off and I love it. It's about $15 in the garden section. Go now, friends. ; )

{And yes, that's Scoutie bear chewing on a lone leg from one of her stuffed animals...silly doggie!}

I prepared a little on Friday night for the Working Women's Show and then on Saturday morning we made our way over to St. Charles.

We stayed about 6 hours and my little presentation went fabulous. People took my blog cards! I know, right? I couldn't believe it, either!

We saw Clinton Kelly--he was lovely in person! Not nearly as blurry--haha!

We were exhausted after the show but made a pit stop to see my sister and brother in law all moved in to their new home! Congrats, guys! Dave and I had a quick meal at KFC and I settled in for some DVR'd episodes of American Idol! P.S. I liked Jacee and that cute little blonde at the beginning. Oh well, you Idol judges always think you know more than me. Hhmph!

On Sunday we were up early again and headed out to the show for the last presentation. 98% of the audience was either my family or friends and I just loved seeing all of the support. You guys blow me away with your kindness. I am one lucky girl!

I was able to scoop up this cute little recycled clutch made out of candy wrappers...how green of me?

I liked it because it reminded me of chevron. Yes please!

Before we left, the kind ladies from the Goodwill gifted me with a bouquet of flowers and an Outback giftcard as a token of their appreciation.

How sweet!

That my friends, is my recap.

Working Woman's Survival Show

I don't think I shared the good news with you guys yet, so I'll go ahead & get right to the point. The other day I was contacted by a Regional Representative for the Goodwill asking if I would be interested in presenting at the St. Louis Working Woman's Survival Show on February 26th & 27th!

As you can already guess, I took all of about 2.5 seconds to think about it, and responded with a definite, "Yes, ma'am!"

My task was simple and fun: peruse neighborhood Goodwill stores and find anything that may not catch someone's eye and turn it in to something fun and fabulous thus giving it a new life.

You all know that's right up my alley and I've been having a blast picking things up at different locations. I'm currently in the process of giving my finds a makeover so that they will be lovely "afters" to show the crowd.

When the show is all said and done I will be sure to share with you guys what I managed to redo.

If any of you great people are in the St. Louis area I would absolutely love to see you out there! I know there are a few local readers and I would be thrilled to death to meet you guys. No joke, it would seriously be so fun!

Oh, and a major plus...one of my favorite men will be appearing shortly after me, Mr. Clinton Kelly of TLC's What Not To Wear, the show's main attraction!

"Shut up!" as his cute sidekick, Stacy London, would say. I've been a fan of the show for years!

I better be looking fabulous so he doesn't give me a critique right on the spot! You know I will just die if I get the chance to meet him!!! Eeeeek!

I swear, this little life of mine is just too much fun! I don't want all of these experiences to end. I'm taking mental notes and snapshots before all of this slips right by me.
