Remember a while back how Rob bought a bottle of the world’s strongest beer? Yeah, well the brewmasters at Brew Dog had to do it again! How awesome is that?!
Unfortunately, we can’t afford a bottle of this new stuff. One day…one day….
T-skirts!
I just bought this super cute skirt from Vintage Fresh. Rob’s coworker’s wife Suzy (hee hee) finds cool old shirts and makes these skirts from them. Me loving handmade stuff and supporting it, I just had to get one. And at around $20 - $25, it’s very affordable! Another great thing she does is, she sizes it just for you. The skirt is already made just without a waist band, that way you can size it however you like. I made mine to wear it sits low on my hips.
She also make robes, pillows and cute little girl dresses! You can visit her site or her Facebook page for what she has for sale: )
Bele Chere
We’re finally over the hump at work! Things should be slowing down and I can focus on life again: )
A great way to spend my first free Saturday was for me and Rob to head up to Asheville for the Belle Chere Festival! This is my third year in a row.
Our first stop was lunch at the Laughing Seed, the best vegetarian food ever! I even got to drink some kombucha on draft, which was pretty tasty. Then we walked around in the sweltering looking at all the booths of crafts and local organizations. I visited the Sensodyne booth and got about 9 free samples and a tooth brush, I do love their tooth paste.
We then met up with Rob’s old coworkers at Humongo (formally known as Plaid), who are on their 4th annual tour across the US. We had some yummy chocolatey drinks and a lavender soda at a sweet shop and then a few beers, some mead and a sweet tea at one of the local bars. It was great seeing them again! We are super excited for them and their tour. Be sure to check them out yourselves!
My week
Well, it’s statement time again at work. Which means working till 10 pm each night and even on the weekends. Crazy times!! So when you get your 401k statement in the mail, remember a lot of work went in to getting it to you^_~
So I obviously didn’t really have much of a week, but here are the highlights of my week!
+ Getting felt samples for my store (still being hush hush about it)
+ Eating Pita Pit.
+ Seeing my boss’s kids, they are just so cute!
+ Going to see Inception, this movie was just so so awesome!!
+ All the big thunder storms we’ve been having
+ Reading with my nook<3
We are over the hump now and things should start slowing down. And this weekend we’re going to Asheville for the Bele Cher festival and say hello to Humongo (formally known as Plaid), who’s on tour again!!
Carolina Wedding
It’s not a summer without Rob and I being super busy each weekend. This weekend we attended Rob’s coworker’s wedding. It was on a farm in Hickory, NC.
This was our first wedding down here in the south and I sure liked it! The location was just gorgeous! Rolling hills and a view that went so far. Everyone was friendly and festive, as most southerners are. Dinner was, my fav., Carolina stlye bbq with hushpuppies, coleslaw and baked beans with some peach cobbler and banana pudding for dessert. Yum! Favors was homemade applebutter made by the bride herself! And there was cornhole. horse shoe, kegs, sparklers, even a little moonshine! We had such a great time and loved the low key, casualness of it all.

4th of July weekend
This weekend Rob’s friends came down to celebrate 4th of July weekend with us. We’ve been having a blast! Eating, drinking, playing video games, cigars.
Eileen made me a painting for my birthday. I love it!
On the actual day of the 4th, we were joined by Rob’s parents and my friend Stephanie from work and her husband Derrick and their dog Lola. There was more eating, drinking, cigars, air soft guns, some beer pong and of course FIREWORKS!
Hope everyone had a great weekend too!
30 things to do while 30! Today I…
17. Dye Hair
I dyed my hair this weekend! I used Manic Panic’s Red Passion. I knew it wasn’t going to be truly magenta, but I like how I looks over my natural hair color.
Thinking about getting some bleach highlights and dying those fun colors.
*we’ve been busy this week, but i have lots to post about! stay tuned: )
On Turning 30
This has been one of the most memorable birthdays I’ve had. I mean, nothing can beat my 7th birthday at the beach house or the 8th birthday with the clown, but as an “adult” turning 30 was a blast! Certainly made the transition a lot less painful, since who likes enter a new age bracket?
My parents sent me this awesome cacti and succulent arrangement. It was such a sweet reminder of home in Arizona. I squealed with delight when I got it^_^ And the fact that it wasn’t the same ol’ flowers that just die in 3 days made me happy too. I still have the bamboo my dad got me 3 years ago.
I got lots of free goodies! Free drink at Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks, an awesome coupon for breakfast at Mimi’s Cafe and I have a Cold Stone Creamery coupon which I have yet to use. It’s fun signing up to get free things like that!
I got great presents from my friends! A fun necklace which you can switch out the bottle cap, maneki neko hair pins, a hamburger patty maker (no more tiny fat patties!), iTune gift card which I bought a Metric and A Fine Frenzy album. I also got lots of cards too, which fill my mantel.
I got this great craft book from my brother, which inspires me to start getting crafty again. This will be great book to do something on my list!
I received some money from my parents and my in-laws and I wanted to buy something big and special so I got a nook! I’m so excited to start reading ebooks on it^_^
And my awesome husband Rob, not only gave my MINI a makeover with new stripes, but threw me a surprise party. I could just burst with the love and happiness I feel for what he did for me. Now if only he remembered to get me a card^_~ (kidding!!)
