meltdown. meltdown. GEAUX TIGERS!

So for whatever reason my money and bills havent been adding up. (i wonder why you shoppaholic.)

This is my first money mishap. (no its not.)

Well its my first real one. 

... and i panicked.

Thanks to mom and my good buddy Ryan i have not only my sanity back but a budget plan.

i'm not thrilled about not getting to (get mani's and pedi's, or a new dress or a needed pair of boots for the winter) spend extra money... but ill make it.

On a lighter note- 

my ALL TIME FAVORITE BAND kings of leon IS PLAYING IN NASHVILLE october 16th. 

and i am going. 

That, my friends, is better than anything in this world. (besides new boots, cocktail dresses, and getting to afford a mani and pedi at the same time.)

anywho... the countdown has started.

Speaking of cowntdowns, LSUUUUU will be kicking off in about 3 weeks. Which im happy about because i am a huge fan. (i am a fan, but im a bigger fan of finding excuses to have parties.) 

ohh chips and dip.

ohh purple and gold.

how i love thee.

Bayou Bound

This past weekend my friend Steph and i took a road trip to Baton Rouge to see her man and my really cool friend Ryan.

Got to meet some more of Ryan's HILARIOUS family. They are so precious and so funny. I feel like I've known them my whole life.

Friday night we had dinner with Ryan's mom and dad at this little Italian restaurant. All three of them just got new iPhones and were trying to teach Mr. Edwards how to use iTunes. 

After that we met up with his two brothers, Brett and Chase, and Chase's sweet friend Rachel.

We went to a really cool little venue to see a cover band who played a little of everything including; Kings of Leon, Usher and ZZ Top.  They were actually pretty good and entertaining.

Saturday we had Lunch with the family at Albasha's - my absolute favorite greek and lebanese restaurant. Later that day Ryan and I moseyed around Baton Rouge, had dinner and made a "must" trip to Counter Culture. If you are not familiar with this place, make yourself familiar with it, and when you do, order the HUMPHREY YOGART. Its plain frozen yogurt with granola, grapes, bananas and honey drizzled on top. Absolutely wonderful.

That night i got to meet his grandparents and aunts and uncles. They are all HOOTS. Such a fun family.

Sunday Ryan and I picked up some lunch from Raisin' Canes and did a little shopping at the Louisiana Mall. Ryan bought his FIRST wallet. After having to get 3 new licenses within the time that we've started hanging out, it was much needed. 

Steph and I left around 3 that day and had a good ride back. 

Now I'm back at work.

Had fun doing a little shopping today with Debbie and my mom.

At Home in Homewood is dangerous for me. I did make a purchase but stayed under $20.

My "post-shop" recovery has been slow but I am getting much better. 

No Doubt

This past friday Hannah, Ryan and i drove to Atlanta to see No Doubt and Paramore play. It was a great drive. Fun getting to hang out, listen to good (and not so good) music. For dinner hannah and i had Starbucks and Happy Meals. We stopped at the mall there in atlanta to try and find and atm and a bathroom. During our stop there we found a pet store. Hannah and i have been dying to get a teeny dog for our apartment being that we are both single, she is home alone for most of the day, and i want something to squeal over. As soon as we walked into the store, one of the workers plops a baby pomeranian in my arms. PURE LOVE. Who knew something so annoying and furry and orange would make me melt. I have to have one. my birthday is in less than two weeks and i am taking donations for the "pom fund." 

Later on we finally made it to the concert. Traffic had been awful, but my gosh ive never been to such a fun show in my entire life... and believe me, hannah and i have had our fair share.

Ryan just stared at the stage the whole time and played bodyguard to us two screaming jumping maniacs.

it was waffle house for a midnight snack (meal) on the way home.
