Wants VS. Needs

On Monday my mom called me at 8pm and was telling me about how great her week is going. While I'm happy my mom is having a good week the first thing I said was, "Mom, it's Monday don't you think you're jumping the gun?!" She is so funny sometimes but it makes me so happy she's already having a great "week." Lord knows that woman deserves it.

I've been in a huge cooking mood this week and I'm planning on sharing some recipes soon for Tuna Cakes and Planko Tilapia. Here's a picture sneak peak of the Tuna Cakes:


Can I just say that I am SO happy July is over with! I swear every year that month just seems to drag on and on. My favorite season is next... FALL! I absolutely can't wait for another beautiful Northwest (No, not talking about Kanye's baby) Fall. I'm already on the lookout for candy corn and I really need to decide on what I'm going to be for Halloween.

I also really want to go spend some money. I get in these shopping moods every couple of months and one is hitting me now... I NEED THINGS. Okay, I don't really need anything but I want, OH HOW I WANT!

Feel free to send me any of the following as gifts:


Cartier inspired swag.
Oh and you can buy me the REAL thing here... if you've got 6K just laying around.  

Nicholas K Anthro Coat
Nicholas K


Reckless Tall Boot in Brown



Macro USM Lens



Speedlite 430EX II Flash


Canon BG-E9 Battery Grip

Why is everything I want so dang expensive?! But... I could use all of it at the same time... how cute would I be!?

TV Marathons

After a ridiculous night on Friday the rest of the weekend was spent on my couch watching TV. Usually when this happens I end up watching crazy things and this weekend was no different.

First up we have Spring Breakers.


I don't even know where to start. I have no idea what this movie was about or why Selena, Vanessa, and James Franco even did this movie. It literally felt like a home video of a group of college girl best friends making the craziest choices possible. I was always broke in college but never once did I think, "Oh hey lets go rob the local dairy bar and steal enough money to get to Florida." WTF?!

Here is the actual synopsis:
Four sexy college girls plan to fund their spring break getaway by burglarizing a fast food shack. But that’s only the beginning… During a night of partying, the girls hit a roadblock when they are arrested on drug charges. Hungover and clad only in bikinis, the girls appear before a judge but are bailed out unexpectedly by Alien, an infamous local thug who takes them under his wing and leads them on the wildest Spring Break trip in history. Rough on the outside but with a soft spot inside, Alien wins over the hearts of the young Spring Breakers, and leads them on a Spring Break they never could have imagined.


Yea, it's that weird. The best thing about the movie was James Francos creepy character whispering..."Spring Breakkkk" "Spring Breakkkk" Chad and I both agreed best part of the movie. Oddest part was when JF gave a BJ to a gun. Yea, that happened. 

Up next was a The Jeffery Dahmer Files

Synopsis: An experimental documentary film that uses archival footage, interviews, and fictionalized scenarios to tell the story of the people around Jeffrey Dahmer during the summer of his arrest in 1991.

This was a really interesting look at Dahmer. I find serial killers fascinating and terrifying at the same time so I watch a lot of documentaries about them. This one started off a little slow but then it really dove into the people that Dahmer knew and affected. I highly recommend this one. Also, it was 1991 and you know what that means! Killer fashion windbreaker style and the detective that got the confessions disgusting mustache.

This guy freaked me out and he's a cop.

The weekend also included hours of My Little Ponies, True Life, and Lifetime movies. It's a hard day getting all that work done folks. You really have to work out your brain to be able and understand that many story lines. It's like a TV marathon. This girl might have ran over 50 marathons but I watch 26.2 hours of TV every weekend. I should start having expos on Thursday nights so I can get my viewing packet and free snacks. You guys can join too just send me your $85 entry fee in the mail. Cash only please and I'll mail your race map, snacks, and bibs to your house. If you successfully watch all TV I'll mail you your super fabulous medal that you can proudly wear around your neck and post pictures of on Facebook. Hey, I might even throw in a 26.2 sticker for your car!

TEN!

Woohoo! I did it! after almost 2 months I lost the first 10lbs.

I'm really happy..it's going to take time to lose the rest but I'm willing to put it in. This week was a good week...last week was hard. What is the moral of the story? Push through the bad weeks and keep going, it gets better.

As a reward to myself I decide to get a couple new pretty baubles after this girl posed about going to the Kendra Scott store. Chad is going to make me stop reading your blog if you don't stop posting about all things fabulous. Now, I'm on a rampage to get a Chanel purse before I die and he is having a stroke saying, "Is that the last purse you're ever going to get?" --- No, Chad. There is no such thing as a "last purse."



I also have now added going to the Kendra Scott Color Bar in Newport to the list when we are on vacation in November! I love discovering new jewelry stores just about as much as I love discovering new types of brownies. 


Where do you get your favorite jewelry?
