When There's Nothing Left to Say

XMas 2008 Around the time I started this blog


I logged into blogger today ... for the first time in a long time. Every now and then I maybe snuck a peek from Instagram if a link was posted but for the most part, Blogger has been a thing of ancient history...and my news feed reflects that. Of the many I have been a follower of for years...only about 5 update their blogs with any regularity, and even those bloggers take to the Instagram way more than Blogger. Its ok. Its just another sign of the times that are changing.


Dec 2014 Work Bathroom Selfie
My world is oh-so-different than when I started this blog, as many of ours are. I started this blog as a young, overweight girl, in a long-term relationship who was salty over the fact that her boyfriend wouldn't propose. Then suddenly we were engaged. Then I lost the weight. Then we were married. Then I was self-obsessed. Then the marriage crumbled. Then my life went to utter shit. Then it started to turn around. Now? Now, things are good. Almost too good, scary good....nothing can stay good for too long can they?

There's no room for that type of pessimism here...of course things can stay that good - because for once in my life I am working hard at these things. I'm not constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop anymore, I'm not striving for goals that are unimportant in the grand scheme of life like an over-the-top wedding for a relationship that was probably doomed before the engagement ring ever went on my finger or losing weight and "getting hot" for all the wrong reasons. For years...I tried to convince myself that what the gossip mill said about me, "Amber lost all that weight and thought she was too good for her husband" wasn't true...but there was an iota of truth to it...maybe more than iota. My personal goals were all a mess. There's really not much more that I can say about that.

Now I just want to be good for all the people in my life that are important. Its sad that it took me this long to figure that out and that I hurt people along the way, but its good to finally feel like I am aligned as a person, that I have figured out what's important and what's just fluff.

I can't blog regularly anymore. I don't have that much to say anymore. No, my life hasn't suddently turned boring but who has time for all this? Not only that but I have no grand aspiration to be some major blogger and go to blog wonderland or whatever that convention the die-hard bloggers go to every year. I don't want sponsers, I don't want haters, and I don't want to have to be someone's role model... I tried to go that way. At one point when I was really kicking ass at the fitness goals, I think I flirted with the idea of going the direction that Mama Laughlin (god love her kick-ass self) went in with training and competitions ... I was planning to be certified in group fitness and everything..but at that point..life had other plans and I didn't handle my big D as gracefully as she seems to be (matter of fact one might say that I went bat-shit crazy for awhile...whatevs) so I had to be more focused on pulling my own head out of my arse than getting amazingly fit. And while I wish I could look in the mirror today and see abs like Mama L and not the 10lbs I gained back from my lowest weight back around the time of my seperation..... I know that everything happens for a reason. And while things that I went through sucked....they made me stronger and better than I ever have been before.

Maybe some days I'll want to blog. Maybe some days I won't. Maybe Blogger is on its way to becoming what MySpace became (read: obsolete) and it won't matter if I blog or not.  Maybe the point of this particular post is becoming convaluded ...maybe I don't really know how to spell that word and I'm not going to spell check it. Whatever it is, it is.

I hope that if this post shows up in a newsfeed graveyard of yours and you're surprised to see after months and months this so-called: "blonde bride" has posted something; that you take a moment to say hi and tell me how you've been - especially if we've exchanged words before. Many of the bloggers who author blogs that I read regularly; I feel like I know personally and its always a welcome surprise to hear from any of you!

I guess before I go I want to tell anyone that's reading that its ok to change. You don't have to feel bad because what you once offered on your blog is no longer the real you; in my case a 25 year old blonde fiancee/wife who was Zumba obsessed turned 30 year old, raven haired singer, girlfriend, vegetarian, blah,blah,blah whatever ... just embrace who you are, put it out there and if people don't like it .... well, there's a reason you have two middle fingers.....hold em' up, smile, and move on.

Life Right Now

Life has been good lately. Work is going well, the band is kicking ass, and some exciting things have happened lately.
 
As I mentioned in my last post I got to check something off my 30 before 30 list... A Trip to LA!
 
While we enjoyed the trip together LA was not necessarily our favorite place to visit. Too much traffic, too much smog, the people weren't very nice.....
 
But I saw a few interesting things...
 
The Friends set at Warner Brothers
 
 
Warner Brothers tour was by far my favorite thing that we did! We saw The Big Bang Theory Set, Two and a Half Men set, Pretty Little Liars outdoor sets (I've never seen the show but I hear its a hit), amazing costumes and cars from movies and all sorts of interesting things! 50 bucks well spent!
 
Marilyn Monroe's Burial Site
 
I was amazed how small the cemetery was and hidden behind office buildings like it was nothing special. A legend is behind that wall!
 
Ella Fitzgerald's Star
 
 
 
Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russel's Handprints and Signatures
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes....
 
 
I would have sworn by this for many, many moons...
 
 
But then I switched over to the dark side....
 
 
 
 
( glad I went completely dark as opposed to the mousy brown/blonde I was sporting in LA-barf!)
 
And I'm not having any trouble with the gentlemen....
 
Or gentleman is at were.
 
 
The Rockstar and I celebrated 100 shows together a couple of weeks ago!
It took us just over one year and lots of blood, sweat, and tears but we got there and now well beyond! Our every Wednesday gig had a cake made for us to celebrate. It tasted as amazing as it looked!
 
Besides the band we are doing beautifully together as a couple and just last week we adopted a two year old dog (American Bulldog mix of some variety...we think perhaps Boxer or hound) who we named: Ruckus.
 
 
We had no idea we were going to adopt a dog. One day while I was at work the Rockstar decided to go play with shelter dogs for a few hrs. When I got off he asked if I wanted to meet him at the SPCA... I love animals so I happily cruised up there after work. We met this guy and loved him instantly. He could already sit and shake he was so mild mannered and happy for any affection. We left him there that night but talked about him a lot. The next day we took the girls to meet him and he was so good with them that we decided it was time to make him family. Upon bringing him home we also discovered he is already potty trained. Score!
 
Life with Ruckus this past week hasn't been all rosy blooms, love him though we do. Its been a major adjustment for us and by us, I mean the cat. Poor Roxy has been in hiding for most of this week and is just now acting as though she might be able to tolerate being around the rest of us with a dog in the house. In one particularly tense moment she may have bitten the Rockstar's hand so hard trying to get away from the dog that it bled all day and swelled up to almost twice its size. In another tense moment of trying to get past the cat with the dog on a leash I may have face planted in the laundry room and bruised my knee and my collar bone....whatever. Small price to pay for puppy love.
 
Speaking of animal love. A week and a half ago I decided to convert to full-on vegetarianism. I was about 90% of the way there anyway but then we watched a little documentary called Earthlings.
 
 

 
Life changer.
 
Not only is it devastating but it also clearly depicted how sickly the animals that we consume are before they are slaughtered. They have cysts and open sores, they live in their own filth and are so miserable that ingesting their misery has to have a negative impact on us (too new-agey for ya?)
 In my opinion ( and we all have to form our own) that just can't be good for us.
 
It really hasn't been difficult. Like I said, I was most of the way there anyway.
 
While I was making changes I also squashed my diet coke habit. Haven't had a diet coke in almost 2 weeks!
 
Over the holidays, for the first time since I dropped the 60lbs I lost, I allowed myself to put on "Christmas Fat" ... about 9lbs of it. It was "fun" to eat anything I wanted for awhile. It was not fun to feel like a heffalump. I've been focusing my efforts back on losing it. My workouts, paired with the recent changes to my diet have already taken about 4.5 lbs off in the past couple of weeks. I would like to lose 5 more by mid-May and continue to tone up, because I'll be off to....
 
 
I've never been and I am so pumped to party it up poolside!
 
And that, in a nutshell is life right now...
 
How about you?
 
Much Love Always!
 
Amber Lane

Explaining My Absence

 (As though anyone still cares!)

I have been super absent since I started my new job and I am painfully aware. Sometimes I really miss writing here but I feel as though I have nothing super exciting or special to share. I've done some stellar, amazing things in the past couple of months: a trip to LA, back stage at The Pretty Reckless concert, hung out with pro-wrestlers (not my thing either but it was super fun) but I feel like none of them are that awesome to talk about if you don't share pictures and while I do have tons and tons of pictures I try to be as discreet as possible when sharing them. If you go back 3+ years and read my posts you will see nothing but pictures galore - but now, I dunno - I feel super protective of my life and the people in it. I don't know for sure what prompted the change within me but while I don't mind sharing myself - I am super protective of the people I share my life with. You will NEVER, EVER see pictures of The Rockstar's children here - I will never discuss the details of their lives. They deserve their privacy - our moments with them are ours and while I do not at all look down on those who openly share their children with the bloggernets this is not something that I will do. For starters they aren't "mine" to make that decision for but I don't think I would choose to do so even if they were. As far as my discretion with posts about my relationship and sharing pics of he and I together- there's a couple of reasons for that. Relationships are fragile and take so much hard work, love, and patience- sharing the details of that even just in asking for advice on small matters - I feel detracts from the trust within that relationship. I never want to share here things that I haven't already discussed with him or to ever come across as though I am speaking of him without the respect he deserves. Sadly, this is not something I always understood (again see old posts). Its important to me to put him first. The other reason - at least locally, we are in the public eye. We have made a name for ourselves as a musical duo and I can't allow for anything to hinder that in any way. Our friends, family, and musician friends know our relationship status but we don't advertise our relationship when playing shows - and trust me that works out for us- people are curious as to what our story is - we don't tell them, we don't disrespect the other we just let it become part of the intrigue. All of this, I feel like this makes for very boring posts.

I still read all of my favorite blogs. I'm not gone! Hope everyone is doing well!

Have a great weekend!

30 Before 30 and Checking One Big One off from Go!!!

I turned 29 on August 8th and knew that I wanted to create a 30 before 30 list right off the bat. The last 2 years for me have been a little off the beaten path for how I thought my life was "supposed to be" and while things have really started to smooth out in the past couple of months and life is once again starting to resemble some kind of norm that I'm used to; I thought that this 30 item list would help me strength my ability to achive some important goals in the next 12 months. Some of these things are pretty serious and some of them are just plain fun.
1. Buy my very own lap top (I'm loving the Windows Surface)
2. Get a tattoo
3. Audition for a televised singing competition- just for fun! (may prove harder than originally thought- I'm too old for Idol (would much rather do the voice anyway) and the Voice doesn't seem to be having auditions anytime soon - really wish there was still a Nashville Star!)
4. Travel to L.A
5. Perform a set with a full electric band
6. Finalize my divorce (would like to have this done by the New Year)
7. Go to the beach! Of course I've been to the beach before but I want to go again before I turn 30!!!
8. Sort through all of my financial what-have-yous: a divorce and a psycho ex wrecked what was once in pretty good shape - need to get that all sorted out- including past debts and future planning!
9. Have a facial- shit while I'm at it - how about a whole spa day!
10. Complete the 30 Day Shred - just once complete all 30 days. I have attempted this multiple times, get bored(and sore) by about day 4
11. Initiate contact with my long-lost sister on my dad's side and be prepared to accept whatever results come from getting in touch and then moving on.
12. Buy a new pair of glasses
13. Start a new car savings plan or ... buy a new car! Also be better about maintenance on the car that I have while I have it- its old and needs TLC!
14. Talk to a counselor about the scarring experiences I've had in past relationships
15. Take golf lessons and/or just go golfing- wear cute gold outfit ( :
16. Have a boudoir photo shoot ( after my 30 day shred haha!)
17. Take a road trip to somewhere awesome with my special someone
18. Learn how to let go of people & things that are bad for me
19. See a touring Broadway show, a ballet, an opera (or some other classical music)
20. Go to a shooting range and shoot guns
21. Buy MYSELF a piece of Tiffany jewelery
22. Revamp this blog to be more contemporary and a better reflection of who I am today, not who I was many moons ago when I first started this blog.
23. Take my mom somewhere fun overnight just me and her or maybe with my sisters
24. Do one thing to pay it forward each month of my 29th year
25. Take a kayaking day trip alone
26. Take a pole dancing class
27. Try my hand at making Russian Borscht
28. Stay in one of the "haunted" rooms at The Lafitte Guest House in New Orleans
29. Try skiing and/or snowboarding
30. Get a job working back in my field - I start September 9th!

Goings on of Late

I know that my blogging has been few and far between. I'm having a very difficult time in the blogosphere right now. I still read everyone elses blogs almost daily and keep up with the goings on but when it comes to posting; I just can't. No! Literally I cannot!

I do all of my posting from work right now during down time. Well, some time in the past month the computers at work stopped supporting Blogger. I can only write posts in HTML. I do not like this. I can't post pictures...so you know my posts would be super dull, it irritates the ever-loving- snot out of me!

You may ask well then dummy why don't you just post from home ... that's simple...

I don't want to.

When I moved in with The Rockstar I did just that I moved in. My furniture, my books, my movies, my ... LIFE moved into storage. The man has lived in his home for the better part of 20 years, he has everything ... so it made no sense to bring boxes of dishes and silverware and all kinds of crap that would clutter up the space that three people already lived in before I got there - it wouldv'e just been overwhelming. So long story short- I don't have a desk there or space that I feel like is my own to sit and think.(This is not at all to imply that if I want some alone time in the bedroom or something that I don't have it) The Rockstar is doing music full time and not working a day job so almost any time I am home- he is also home. I don't want to sit at his desk - which is like his home base and BLOG ( which honestly he thinks is a bit silly) when someone (one of the two children or the Rockstar himself) may come and peek over my shoulder and tease me (in good fun but a tease is a tease). This is why one of the items on my 30 before 30 list (post forthcoming) is to buy a new lap top. I need something that belongs to me to do my "silly" blogging on (and silly facebooking, instagramming, whatevering). I used to have one but you know.... divorce and everything.

Life has been great lately- no complaints. I received a promotion in my current position a couple of weeks ago and then wonder of wonder I finally landed a position back in my own field (My college degree will once again be worth its salt- yes!!!). So my year of part-time BS work is finally coming to an end! My last day will be a week from today and I couldn't possibly be any more thrilled! I have had my fill of wardrobing people at a store that sounds a little something like; Night Mouse, Whack Starket and selling hotel rooms to people with gambling addictions and nothing better to do than spend upwards of 4 nights a week in a casino hotel. I. Am. Done!

The Rockstar and I are still kicking ass and taking names with our band- we played 12 shows during the month of August! We couldn't be any more proud of the work we have done together since November. We played our first two shows together in December and have only continued to grow as a musical duo and as a couple ever since! We will have our 50th show together early in September and we will be releasing our first original song at that performance. We're very excited but still have some work to do.

As I mentioned a bit earlier I've created a 30 before 30 list that I plan on sharing very soon and am looking forward to completing each and every item on the list. Some of them are vital to living a cleaner, more stress-free life. Some of them are just plain fun! The Rockstar and I are planning a trip to L.A in October so that's one big thing right off the bat that I'm going to be able to cross off the list very soon...and my new job is also something big I can check off the list now! But no more previews - the real post is coming up soon!

Thinking of joining Story Of My Life for blogtember http://storyofmylifetheblog.blogspot.com/ (I would totally link but stupid HTML won't let me - ugh gotta get that laptop!) I need something to really get my back in the swing of blogging on the regular!

I also am in major need of a blog makeover .... as of today I'm not blonde, I'm an ex bride and soon-to-be ex wife, none of the shit in my blog name is legit. If anyone has any recommendations for a blog make-over and can tell me a little bit about the process if I were to seek professional help I would be much obliged!

Ok. I think that's enough for now. We are headed out for a kayaking trip tomorrow that I am so,so excited for! Hope everyone is having a fantastic Labor Day weekend!

Much Love Always!

Get To Know Me a Little Better

Saw this survey on Jennifer's page over at Crazy Shennanigans and wanted to play along!


1. Do you like blue cheese? I love bleu cheese!!! I like the crumbles (especially on salads and burgers) and I like the dressing - for wings, french fries, salads, burgers YUMMY!
2. Have you ever smoked a cigarette? Ugh. I smoked when I drank. Then The Rockstar and I went to New Orleans in March and I found myself smoking throughout the day as we cruised the city. I never quite kicked that habit. Guess I need to huh?
3. Do you own a gun? Negative ghost rider.

4. What flavor do you add to your drink at Sonic? Cherry Lime baby!
5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? Not typically.  I did when I was heavy and knew they would tell me what I weighed and when I was suffering from anxiety.

6. Do you like hot-dogs? Every now and then. I even like the veggie dogs but a good hot dog every now and again can be pretty tempting!
7. What do you prefer to drink in the morning? Starbucks venti iced coffee, no classic, add soy, and 4 Splenda

8. Can you do push-ups? I suck at push ups. I am queen of the girly ones.
9. What’s your favorite meal? Oh lord how do you choose. I love a good steak/baked potato dinner. I also love a nice lean piece of chicken or fish. I don't get as much meat like that these days- that's life around a vegetarian.
10. What’s your favorite piece of jewelry? I really don't have any jewelery right now that I feel emotionally attached to or wear all the time. I bought a really cheap necklace in New Orleans that has a mardi gras mask on it - I like that a lot.
11. Favorite hobby? Obviously Double Tap but that's more a job than a hobby. Zumba is always a blast!
12. Do you work with people who idolize you? You mean there are people that don't idolize me?!? J/k!
13. Name a trait that you hate about yourself? The inability to take things at face value - I am constantly trying to decode subtexts and undertones that may not even exist - especially with significant others - this is a scar left over from failed relationships. Sometimes I have to tell myself, sometimes when he says nothing is wrong, nothing is wrong or even if there is something it may not have a thing to do with you. Or if he didn't want to be with you- he wouldn't be- get your shit together girl!
14. Middle name? Lane
15. Name 3 thoughts at this moment: 1.) I can't wait to go home and see The Rockstar, 2.) The way I'm sitting right now is making both of my feet fall asleep, 3.) Today is the start of living a (bit) cleaner lifestyle
16. Name 3 things you bought yesterday: Lunch at Olive Garden, A coffee from Starbucks, and .... well I was with The Rockstar when he bought his youngest daughter a bday present
17. Name 3 drinks you regularly drink: Iced Coffee, Diet Coke, Alcohol (usually wine but I've been on more of a light beer/ gin and tonic kick lately)
18. Current worry right now? The future of my relationship- not that things aren't going well - they really are, better than ever perhaps but as I've eluded to without detail, we had some rough patches back in the spring that we are/ he is still recovering from and I've had to be very understanding and patient. I'm willing. He's worth it.
19. Current hate right now? I am still not back in my own career field after just over a year now since I left my last community.
20. Favorite place to be? Anywhere he is.
21. How did you bring in New Years? At home with The Rockstar and some new friends.
22. Favorite place to go? That's vague- go for what? Dinner? Vacation? Drinks? My first thought was the beach so we'll go with that!
23. What is your most recurring dream? That my teeth are falling out
24. Introvert or extrovert? VERY extroverted.
25. What color shirt are you wearing? Coral
26. Do you like sleeping on satin sheets? I used to have a set that I loved in red satin....I could take em or leave em now.
27. Can you whistle? Yes.

28. Can you sing? I get paid to do it so I'm guessing I can.

29. Favorite color? Pink
30. Would you be a pirate? For Halloween.

38. Worst injury you've ever had? A broken ankle.
39. Do you love where you live? I'm sure I would love other places way more than Cincinnati. I'm sure there are other homes that I would love to live in but I wouldn't trade who I'm living with for anything in the world. It's the people in the home that make a house a home.
40. How many TVs are in your house? 3

41. What is your worst habit? smoking
42. How many dogs do you have? Zero : (

43. Does someone have a crush on you? Maybe, how would I know.
44. Do you own slippers? Yeah. They're in storage.
45. What is your favorite book? Where the Heart is: Billie Letts
46. What is your favorite candy? Chocolate
47. What is your favorite sports team? The Cincinnati Bengals. I have a feeling that there may be an attempt to convert me to a Giants fan this season.
48. What song do you want played at your funeral? Bad Girls by MIA; "Live fast, die young- bad girls do it well"..... that may not be true but I think its funny.
49. What were you doing at 12 AM last night? Eating a party pizza and finishing up Pleasantville with The Rockstar
50. What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up this morning? ( ; I would blush if I was the type but suffice to say - I acted on my thought and started my morning out VERY well!


Catching Up and Weekend Re-Cap

I don't know if anyone else had trouble with Blogger last week but anytime I tried to post last week I simply could not. I would try to click in the compose box and type and nothing would happen. Very frustrating!

Now today, like magic its working again so I though I would take advantage.

So the last time we "chatted" I was about to embark on my 9 day staycation. That has now come and gone and I've been back to work for about 2 weeks now. Wow, time flies!

Staycaytion was good, very relaxing, the only draw back is it rained like every hocking day I was off - seriously almost every day.

We went to the pool one day for a couple hrs...I think that was the very first day and it was very over cast. Then it rained and rained and rained and rained. Even on the 4th of July- so we pretty much stayed in for the weekdays of the week of the 4th. We didn't have the girls over the weekend of staycay so we spent a night in Ky with our friend Jenny one night, then the next we went to some old band mate's house of The Rockstar and watched the UFC fights.
One day we took the girls to see Man of Steel (it was oooook. Too long, too many exploding buildings for me- I'll take any of The Avengers movies over that movie any day especially Iron Man or Thor...mmmm Thor:




We did get one sunny day the second to last day of my time off so The Rockstar and I went on an all day kayaking trip which was a BLAST! We made some new friends and spent a relaxing day, kayaking, floating, and drinking. On the last day of my trip we tried the pool again but it started pouring down rain about 20 minutes after we got there so we packed up the girls, cut our losses, and had dinner at CiCi's pizza and called it a day!

JUly 13th was The Rockstar's 38th birthday so you know we did that up right! Birthday lunch with his family at his mom's then a downtown Cincinnati karaoke dance party - just us to start with then our friends joined us and we partied down!

We've had a couple shows between then and now including two this weekend.
We played a four hour show at a local bar this Friday and had oh-so-much-fun there and after! Saturday morning I had to work but when I got off it was show time again! So we both prettied up and hit the road for Clifton, an urban college area very near the heart of Cincinnati (we live about 30 minutes NW of the city).


I took a shameless selfie in the bathroom of Aquarius Star (the bistro that we played in).
This is while my hair was still looking moderately fluffy and styled - the humidity helped to alleviate that within no time!



We played second in a show of 3 acts. Our friend Morgan did a solo acoustic set to begin, then us, then our friend's brand-new band "Cain" debuted to close out the evening. It was an early show to accomodate the dinner crowd so the entire things spanned 6-9pm.


Taken of me by one of the other band's members sipping ginseng,mint iced tea like a good girl ( :


Double Tap (That's us!) playing Anna Kendrick's "Cups" with Morgan guest starring on the Cup!

The Rockstar- one of these days I'll ask his permission to post his face directly but I'm not ready for him to know that I still post here relatively frequently- not that I don't trust him. I think this picture is adorable - don't know why....


My very favorite fountain in Clifton- I think its magical!

After the show we discovered that our friend Jenny who I've mentioned here several times, just so happened to be meeting a friend on the same block where we had played so we all met up at a local bar for a few drinks.

In the bathroom stalls of the ladies rr were chalkboards I couldn't resisit telling the masses to like our band on Facebook:


 


I also wrote a message telling ladies to have a nice pee but I digress..

To tell you what we did next, I first have to go backwards. On Wednesday after going to the grocery store the Rockstar and I were pulling into the garage when a  local music radio station announced that the first person to call in would win tickets to see a national entertainer perform at a local venue that coming Saturday. The Rockstar got all bummed b/c he wanted to win and we had a show. I quickly reminded him that our show was early and we could still make it so he quickly called ...and won!

So who was it? Where was it?

I'm an open-book and I call shit like I see it. I am not at all ashamed to admit that the entertainer was porn star Katie Morgan (also hosted an HBO show about sex) and she was dancing at a gentleman's club about 30 minutes away from where we performed Saturday night.

So after our show and after drinks with Jenny's friend; The Rockstar, Jenny, and I took a trip out for the show....

Obviously I didn't take pictures inside but I did snap one of my peeps out front after they closed:


I know everyone, especially the ladies have differing views and opinions on establishments such as Racers and I appreciate and respect everyone's. My personal opinion is that when its taken at face value and is a sometimes thing its A-Ok- especially when you can share that with the person that you are in a relationship/intimate with. Matter-of-fact as a couple's experience I find it very sexy.
We all had a blast.

Afterwards we needed some kind of sustenance to get us back to our corners of the tri-state so we stopped at a Steak n' Shake that was as cold as an igloo so the Rockstar located his Giants jacket in the trunk and I rocked that sucker (Bengals fan for life PS!)


Drunky girl face - I'm cool with it!



We made it home just after 5pm and were ready to call it a night...well almost ( ;

Sunday we slept until noon (how very Rockstar of us)

Then showered and met my mom for lunch at Olive Garden. So yum!

We ran a couple errands including a trip to the video store for the last two discs of season 7 of Dexter and Pleasantville (which is definitely in my top 10 favorite movies and he has never seen).

We vegged the entire rest of the day- well I did laundry so I wasn't a complete vegetable.

It was amazing.

I have the best weekends ever! Matter of fact I have the best weeks ever too!

Glad I'm sharing it all with someone I have so much damn fun with!

Have a good week everyone!

Much Love!
