I have a problem. My DVR is my best friend.

Sunday: NFL Football, 60 minutes, The Amazing Race, Desperate Housewives, Brothers and Sisters.

Monday: Regis and Kelly Live, Monday night football, How I Met Your Mother, Two and Half Men, One Tree Hill, Intervention, Hoarders, Jon and Kate Plus 8, The Rachel Zoe Project.

Tuesday: Regis and Kelly Live, Hell's Kitchen, The Biggest Loser, Flipping Out, 18 kids and Counting.

Wednesday: Regis and Kelly Live, Real World/Road Rules Challenge

Thursday: Regis and Kelly Live, Survivor, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Friday: Regis and Kelly Live, Say Yes to the Dress.

Saturday: College Football, Saturday Night Live, Austin City Limits.

That's only what records on my DVR. The list does not include movies or reruns of my favorite shows that I also watch.

I have a problem. My DVR is my best friend. That's ridiculous!

On a more positive note, I am absolutely loving the fall like weather we are having in NWA. I really enjoy sleeping with the windows open. I put the down comforter on the bed this weekend and when it gets cold I love burrowing underneath it.

This past weekend was the Bikes, Blues, and BBQ festival. I decided not to get anywhere near Dickson Street! :)

I didn't feel very good all last week so I went to the doctor Friday morning and she said that I had a sinus infection and allergies. I took it easy all weekend so that I would feel better by Monday.

Friday night we went to a new restaurant/bar called JJ's for dinner (I had the best hamburger ever) and then back home to watch, Summer Rental, for the 1,000th time. It's one of my favorites!

Saturday, Mike got early to play in a softball tournament at Lake Fayetteville and I hung out around the house in my PJ's all day. I got all my homework done early so that I could watch the Hogs play that afternoon. Unfortunately, it wasn't worth watching. :( Another SEC big fat L in the win/lose column. BOO! I sure wish they would get it together and play ball!

Football and naps pretty much sum up my Sunday.

I feel much much better today! YAY! It's supposed to get down in the 30's tonight so I spent the day getting my house plants cleaned up and back in the house for the winter. Yes it took me ALL afternoon. I counted and I have 16 houseplants. SIXTEEN. I live in a two bedroom duplex with very little windows so I have to get pretty creative! I even got the house decorated for Fall/Halloween. A very productive day!

Hope you guys have a great rest of the week!

The Last 2 Weekends

I've been on a blogging break due to school being absolutely crazy!

This blog will not have a single picture. :(

Last weekend, the rain held off and we had a great weekend! Friday we stayed in and cooked dinner together, played dominoes, and watched movies. Saturday morning, Mike went to Oklahoma for a softball tournament and I went to Bentonville to visit with my BFF Crystal and her daughter Lorelia. Crystal and her husband bought a new house last month and I was excited to see it. It's a beautiful home and I'm so happy that they were able to find a great neighborhood for their family. Lorelia is 7 months old, absolutely gorgeous, and such a great baby! The promenade was having an arts and crafts fair so we went and enjoyed walking around looking at all the booths and listening to the live music. That night Mike and I met a group of friends at the Arkansas Music Pavilion to watch Cross Canadian Ragweed. I hadn't seen CCR in several years. It was the first time that I had been to the AMP and I was really impressed. CCR put on an awesome show!

Mike was out of town for work all last week so I spent the week getting caught up on school, the DVR, and cleaning. BORING!


This past weekend was the first home game for the Razorbacks. We got up early Saturday morning and went shopping for some HOG gear for ourselves and Mike's new car. We started tailgating at 1pm and enjoyed hanging with everyone, eating great food and playing ladder golf. We decided not to go to the game and instead meet some friends out at a local sport's bar. HOGS lost to Georgia 52-41. The Defense was HORRIBLE! Hopefully they can fix some things before heading to Tuscaloosa to play Alabama next Saturday.

Gotta get back to my biology project. Have a great week!

The Preppy Princess

Happy Friday!
For this week only being a four day week it sure did seem to last forever. We've got a packed weekend and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the rain doesn't ruin it. I guess it wouldn't be that bad to stay in my pj's all weekend! :)

On a side note- Check out The Preppy Princess blog. They are giving away one of their fabulous plates or platters. I personally like these the best:

That last one would be perfect of a 4th of July BBQ!

3 Day Weekend

I love when it's the weekend but a THREE day weekend is even better! Even though I currently don't have a job, I look forward to Mike being off and being able to do weekend activities!

Friday night, Abbe and I visited over some pizza and sweet tea vodka while getting ready for a night out at George's to watch Jason Boland and the Stragglers. When we got there we went straight to the back to claim a spot and instantly noticed how miserably hot it was in the back. I was fine until it got packed and there was absolutely no air movement. An hour into the show I was feeling really sick and decided to hang out in the front and cool down a little bit. I didn't want to ruin Abbe's night but I started to feel worse and worse, so I ended up calling Mike to come pick me up and take me home. Good thing cause as soon as I got in his car I got sick sick sick. I'm thinking I may have gotten too hot and dehydrated. I was so looking forward to that show too- dang it!

I woke up Saturday morning feeling so much better. Thank goodness cause it was game day! We watched football all afternoon and then I met Ben at Sassy's Red House to watch the HOGS play. Mike met us out for the second half and we had a great time out on the patio. The game ended up being a blowout with the Hogs winning 48-10! WPS!


Mike and I at Sassy' watching the HOGS play:
We got up early Sunday morning and went down to Ozark to visit my mom. She was making a homemade apple pie when we got there so we waited for that to bake and then headed up to White Rock Mountain. I hadn't been in several years and really wanted Mike to see it. It was a little hazy when we got up to the top but the view was still beautiful. The pictures just don't do it justice!

the three of us:
Shore's Lake:
After exploring around the Ozark National Forrest all day we were hungry! Mom cooked an amazing dinner- grilled chicken, corn on the cob, twice baked potatoes, jello salad and apple pie! YUM-MY! We even got to bring home the leftover's- my mom is the greatest! It was so wonderful to spend day with my two favorite people!

We were exhausted when we got back to town and I ended up sleeping 12 hours straight Sunday night! I felt so refreshed this morning and spent Labor Day straighting up the house, catching up on homework, working in my flowerbeds, napping, and watching TV.
It was a great 3 day weekend- I wish we had more of them!

Labor Day

Random Friday

Oh my word- SEC football is here! GO HOGS!

The weather in NWA has been amazing the last couple of days. Fall is right around the corner!

Even though I don't have a job I'm so looking forward to the three day weekend.

Speaking of a J-O-B, will I ever find one?!

School is in full swing and I'm loving every minute of it. Except for the homework, papers, and test!

I'm so excited about hanging out with my BFF tonight and watching Jason Boland at George's!

I must admit something- I really like Shakira's new song "She Wolf". Please don't judge!

I enjoying having the windows open at night but my allergies are killing me today!

I'm spending my Friday afternoon watching the first two seasons of "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia." That show cracks me up! Season 3 starts September 17th!

Just some randomness for the week.

Hope you have a awesome Labor Day weekend!
