Yay for Friday!!

I am so excited for the weekend to get here! One of the perks of my job is that we have "summer hours", which means that we can work and extra half hour Monday-Thursday and then on Friday, everyone in the office works from 8 am to 3 pm. I think that my short Friday's have become one of my very favorite things. Today I am planning on going home and finishing the book that I am reading "sTORI Telling", by Tori Spelling- before you roll your eyes I just have to say- I love her. I can't help it. She is so funny. I watch her show "Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood", on Oxygen and I am completely addicted. Sometimes I wonder if I am just a reality TV slut. Don't judge, you probably are too.

I am also going over to my friend Chrissie's house tonight for an 80's movie night. Chrissie and I have worked together at Elan-Polo for two and a half years and she quickly became my work BFF. She is super funny, sassy, and I LOVE her fashion sense. I honestly don't know what I would do without her at work. She's just great.

Tomorrow I think I might be going to a sandbar to hang out with my friend Cori and a bunch of her friends. It is in IL, over by her parent's house and should be pretty fun! The weather has been so great lately that you don't feel like you're melting everytime you step outside, so I'm really looking forward to it!

Tomorrow night I have a "Stock the Bar" party for my cousin Kevin and his bride-to-be, Annie. I'm sure you all have heard about this kind of party, but if any of you haven't, it's a couples type shower where everyone brings something bar related and at the end of the party, your house is stocked with all the bar essentials you would ever need- alcohol, glasses, shakers, stir sticks- you name it! I got them 12 "mini pilsner glasses" from Crate and Barrel. They are so cute and perfect for either a nice cold beer or even just to use as glasses everyday.

After the party I am going to a concert at the St. Charles Family Arena that has a variety of bands. You can't go wrong with something like this. Good music + Beer + Summer = Drunk happy Stevie, singing at the top of her lungs. Good times.

Hopefully this weekend will produce some memorable photo's for all of you to laugh at next week. Have a good one and don't drink and drive!

Weekend Rewind

Hi Everyone! I'm sorry it's been so long since I've blogged. I'm sure you have all been going through withdrawals not being able to get your daily dose of me:).

So this was my first weekend in a month having absolutely no plans and I LOVED it. It's not that I don't like being busy, I do, but sometimes you just need some time to yourself and don't want to wear makeup for a full 48 hours, that's all.

So Friday afternoon I got home around 4:30 pm (I was on my way home from a work trip to Pay less- Topeka, KS). I hadn't seen Sparkles for two days, so I was excited to see her and she is usually pretty cuddly if I have been gone for a while... Good to know she still likes me:). After I had settled down, I watched the Opening Ceremony for the Olympics (love the Olympics!), caught up on the SYTYCD finale- SO EXCITED FOR JOSHUA! I wanted him to win!, and went to bed around 11. It was a very restful nights sleep if you don't count the 15 drunk dials I got from Cori and my brother wanting to know if I wanted to come over and eat waffle fries.... Evidently that warrants 15 phone calls... Who knew?

Saturday I slept in (probably my favorite thing in the whole world to do), and got up around 10:30. It was lovely. I had previously made plans with my good friends Heather and Jil to come over to my parents house and swim/layout for the afternoon. It was the PERFECT day! Not humid at all, 85 degrees, and sunny! Cori came with us and we had a really good, low key time! Also, isn't it true that after June or something, the sun isn't as strong? I don't believe that because my face is so burnt! Not to mention I have total raccoon eyes because I was wearing sunglasses the whole time... Oh well, nothing a little concealer can't fix!

After I got home from my parent's pool I accidentally fell asleep... I know, everyone who knows me is laughing and shaking their heads at me right now, but it really was an accident. I have been trying not to take naps on the weekends because I have serious sleeping issues. But I guess I needed it:) I woke up around 7:30 and made a weight watchers lasagna dinner and again, played on the computer and watched the Olympics (I can see this becoming a repeating pattern over the next few weeks!). Oh, and I also watched "27 Dresses". I saw this movie in the theater, and forgot how much I loved it! It was so cute and made me want a boyfriend... Shocker.

So that brings me to now... It is Sunday morning and guess what? I am watching the Olympics and on my computer... I really need to do something productive today so I am thinking about cleaning my house and going to the gym... Gotta love lazy Sundays!

I will try to be more on top of this blogging thing... I know how riveting it is for all of you to read about what movies I watch on Friday nights! I will try to keep you better informed!

Later Gators-
