I'm Melting

The last 3 weeks of my life have been extremely exhausting; hence, my complete disappearance and shut down this weekend. I haven't slept in or been at home for that matter the previous 2 weekends due to me helping my mom sell crap like this to strangers:
Seriously, I made someone pay 5 bucks for this... forgive me lord.

I am a sleeper. I love to sleep and I run the best off of 8-9 hours a night. Well, hubs thinks I'm a wimp and sleeping my life away because he only logs in probably 4-7 on average. I told him the other day, "What do you want from me? Do you want to see bags under my eyes in a few days because I will get ugly if I don't sleep! I NEED SLEEP DAMNIT!" I feel no guilt in admitting that and I think he is insane for calling me weak. Bastard.

This weekend I actually got to stay home (insert happy dance) and actually sleep in and then got to go to the gym so I was back to my normal routine again. It was just what I needed. I don't feel exhausted, I feel good about getting to work out more, (I've only been getting to the gym 3 times a week for the last two when I normally go 5!) and I'm ready for this next week and CK's Birthday Extravaganzzzzza next weekend. My honeybunchesofoats will be 29 on Saturday... (what an old fart) so before he hits the dirty 30 as Cassie would say we are going to celebrate in style. Well, we will really probably just get drunk and go swimming. Hey, he likes to swim what can I say.

Previous weekend Catchup time!!!

Last weekend Chad had another gig at good ole Brady's in Jackson on Friday night and Haley and I decided to have a mini photo shoot:


Doesn't her hair look like lioness like Rawr!

There are more pictures but the wench won't send them to me. BOOO Haley. Anyways, after the gig I stayed in Jackson and the hubs went home because he had to work the next AM. Bright and Early after only 3 hours of sleep Friday night I woke up Saturday morning to help my mom with another garage sale. Haley did buck up and come help at 6am (BEST FRIEND EVER) and the day was pretty fun. It started to rain about 1pm right as we were getting everything inside from the yard so that was just great. Haley and I planned to go shopping that afternoon and we weren't going to let a little TON of rain stop us. My shoes were soaked and I chose to "borrow" a pair of my Grans (she has literally over a 1,000 throughout her house) So, I find a nice pair of Nine West tan flops and go to pick up Haley.

Dun Dun Dunnn.... did I mention is was POURING rain? It was, and we are idiots and didn't bring an umbrella. We had about 6 different stops to make so this was in and out of the car, running through the rain craziness. We did find an umbrella in my car after the first 2 stops but it was little and Haley and I clung to each other like Kate and Leo did on the Titanic which made us even slower running into the stores. I'm sure we were also pretty interesting to watch.

We were having a blast laughing at ourselves until we went to Kroger. I stepped out of my car into a pond full of rain water and my shoes fell apart. Literally they freaking MELTED. WTF! Now, I'm barefoot in a parking lot with no shoes, while its pouring down rain.

Haley is laughing at me and thank God there was a Rue 21 by the Kroger where they sell cheap clothes and CHEAP SHOES! So, I run across the parking lot and into the store barefoot and back to the flip flop wall. They are buy one get one free... we find a pair of black lightening bolt shoes (how appropriate) and buy them for each of us.
Notice the rain water and soaked feet.

We had a great Saturday. I love my crazy bestie.
PS. Get a blog loser.



Have your shoes ever fell apart on you?
What do you like to do for your Birthday?

Jack Town Adventures (PICTURE HEAVY)

This past weekend I was out of town. Hence the Lack of blogging and running that occurred. However, lots of drinking, music, shopping, eating, helping my mom, & best friend time DID happen!

The Hubs had 2 shows this weekend in the Jackson area one on Friday night at the Irish Frog in Clinton and the other at Burgers & Blues in Ridgland on Sunday afternoon. Since I am from the Jackson area my family and friends are wonderful and love to come hang out with us at these shows. Here's a little recap from the Friday Night show:

PS. The Irish Frog & The Froghead Grill are NOT in the same location. We realized this after I almost bet money against my bestie Haley. Thank GOD she wouldn't bet me because I would have so lost.

Sporting the *NEW* Chad Knight T-shirts!


We are in love with each other.
Seriously, if we didn't like men...well we'd be in a domestic partnership.


Notice I don't have any pictures of the hubs playing from this night. Whoops. I did however score a Video that will be on YouTube soon. Check out his other videos here: WATCH CHAD KNIGHT

After the show we went to my moms to stay for the night and the next morning we had to get up and help her with a garage sale. Let me give you a little background on this: My mother recently moved in with my gran because she is a HOARDER. Seriously, A&E missed out on this jewel of a woman. She is fantastic but she loves to buy things. Absolute JUNK actually. Her house is clean but rooms are filled with things and we agree that she hasn't thrown anything away since the 1970's. (I'm not joking) So, my mom moved in to help her get rid of things and get her house in order like it should be. Gran can't be there during this transformation because she can't let these things go. She would sit there and say, "I can use that don't get rid of it" and "It makes me happy I want to keep it." HOARDER ALERT. My mom has been working her tail off on this and it was time for me to come help so, Saturday morning we got up at 5am to set up for the garage sale. It went really well and we sold a lot (of junk) I seriously can't believe the things that people will buy. We made a lot of progress with the house and I'm going to go back up this weekend to help her with another BIG garage sale. (I wasn't kidding when I say her house is FULL of stuff. We could probably have 10 garage sales and still not get rid of all of it.)

Saturday afternoon consisted of shopping (looking for new running shoes!) and movies and dinner with Haley & Josh. Lets come up with a couple name for them! How about: Hosh. hahaha Chad and Josh have this man love thing going on and Haley and I love it. It's been the first time she hasn't dated a total dumb ass and we all love each other and getting to hang out which makes things way more fun.

We watched this:
Which was super fantastic

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

Sunday we woke up early again to try and continue the garage sale but people don't go on Sundays. So, another 5am morning and then a glorious nap that afternoon. Naps are a wonderful thing.

After the nap we woke up to go shopping and I decided on my new running shoes! I took some photos today for you guys:



Bam! In yo face!

I was a little nervous after reading some of the reviews but they felt so good on I decided to go ahead and get them. I took them for a test run today and 2.10 miles later I am VERY happy with my choice. It's like running on air. Now, I just need to get the Nike Chip for my I-touch and I'll be cool. (FINALLY)

Then it was time for Chad's show at Burgers & Blues
My moma & I (Twins I tell ya)

I swear we have more clothes we were just rockin the new T's ON SALE NOW!

Hubby hubs hubs.

Rockin the Reggae colors with Hosh

Yup, that's what love looks like & Beer out of a mason jar. Classy.

HOSH

More awesome friends that came to support!

It was a pretty fantastic weekend but I am dead tired; However, I have decided I have the best friend in the world and an amazing hubs how freaking lucky am I!
