Amazing Weekend!

Let me start off with this...

More on this awesomeness later.

So black Friday was a success!

Got to work about 7:30 AM and stayed til 5. We were pretty steady all day. I had some visitors throughout the day which made it fun! Some people came by I hadn't seen since high school graduation!

When I got off, I met up with some friends for dinner and a movie. My friend Carol was home from Durham, Natasha was home from Philadelphia, Sarah was home from Savannah, Angel, Emma, and Jenna all grabbed dinner. Then we went to see New Moon (again). After the movie, Carol, Natasha & I decided to have an impromptu photo shoot at Market Commons.


Saturday was gameday. South Carolina played its arch rival, Clemson. Lemme tell ya'll...I really try not to hate. I believe in disliking or having differences of opinions, but I hate Clemson. (Not any of my friends who went there, though :o))

Anyway, they have won the last few matches between our two teams and there is NOTHING sweeter than seeing them lose, especially to the GAMECOCKS! The final score was 34-17. I mean we beat them, beat them. Didn't squeak by, wasn't sheer luck. We. beat. them. Plus, it means bragging rights for a WHOLE YEAR! 2010 is gonna be ahhh-mazing!
So moving on, I had Natasha and Carol over for the game. Carol surprised Natasha by bringing another friend Kim, who has been in Argentina for the past year and a half working for Campus Crusade. Natasha was very surprised!

We all had a great time watching the game together. We made dad take a bunch of pictures after the game. I got to talking to them about how special our friendships were...how different our college friendships are than our other relationships. We all did some growing up in four/five short years. I know I am going to have these girls in my life forever!

After the game we went to the mall to hang out and ended up going to see New Moon, again! I just cannot get enough of Edward Cullen. Mmmmm.

So recap of this amazing weekend---2 days spent with college besties, 2 viewings of New Moon and a Carolina over Clemsux WIN=Amazing!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Ok so I am promising to make a better effort to blog girls! Once I get into a better routine it'll be easier :o)

So this weekend was much needed!

Friday I met a friend to see New Moon!! First off-it was AMAZING.

A little background info-I have read all the books twice. It's been a while since I read New Moon and I'm glad there was some space in between me reading and me watching the movie b/c I wasn't watching it and finding all the things that were wrong. (Like I did for Twilight)

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.

And I am 100% team Edward, just getting that out there. And I 100% hate book Jacob. But movie Jacob... o. m. g. I mean 1st off-he is SO hot. How many abs can one kid have? and 2nd he's so sweet, you can't help but like him. So New Moon-you get an A+ from me! And I'll be seeing you again this coming Friday when my long lost friend returns from Philadelphia for the weekend!

Saturday I met a friend for breakfast and did some shopping at the outlets. I purchased the Coach keyring for my new big girl job! It's like this but instead of purple metallic, it's gold metallic.

I also picked up a super cute new mint green sweater and chocolate brown cords from J.Crew. Shhh..don't tell Gap :o)

I picked up some SUPER cute Christmas treats for the boys at my fav doggie bakery-The Baker's Dog. Ya'll remember my little post about them here? Gus & Bailey were super excited about these bad boys...


Which leads me to today... what did I do? Ab-so-lute-ly nothing. It was great. Well, I did wear my hard contacts for FOUR hours today. I'm supposed to be wearing them everyday, adding an hour on when I can. But I just don't feel comfortable wearing them outside the comfort of my home yet. I'll be honest-I really can see A LOT better when I wear them, but the constant irritation they give along with better vision stinks! We'll see what happens with that situation...

Anyway, I hope all of you had a great weekend like I did! Back to work tomorrow, but I am SO excited about this week! Happy Sunday ladies!

Slap me on the wrist...

I feel like I've been starting every new post with an apology lately! I really am sorry I haven't been a better blogger! I promise I have been a silent blog stalker though! I gotta do some serious scheduled posts or something!

It's just that since I started working at Gap, and then on my days off I'm working for a friend in his home office, I haven't had a TON of free time! And when I do have a down moment, it's for eating, sleeping & spending time with my friends & family!

Oh and also on the Gap front- I'm supposed to find out sometime next week if I got the Brand Visual Merchandising Expert job. :o) Cross your fingers ladies!

Anyway. So what have I been up to?

Working and enjoying my discount! I may have purchased these items the other day...

And a super cute plaid shirt that I can't find on the website, but I'll show ya'll later when I wear it :o)

Old Navy is also having a great sale this week-50% off their outerwear! I got this coat last night. It has a BEAUTIFUL bright yellow silk lining. I can't wait to wear this one!

Ok so no more shopping for me. Gotta start saving for Christmas presents!

Also- 12 more days till NEW MOON! Ah! I definitely made this my iPhone background yesterday :o)

On a super cute note-I had breakfast yesterday with Angel & Jenna. Angel has to wait a few more weeks until she finds out the sex of her baby so we decided to play the game with a ring and a string. I think she's having a girl, and Jenna said boy. So we did the string game and it said girl! woo! Anyway, we made a bet that if Jenna wins, she gets to pick out the going home outfit of baby. If I win, I get to put gamecock stuff all over that kid! I can't wait! I mean, I'm gonna do it anyway, but it's still fun :o)


Anyway, hope you all had a great weekend!

O. M. G.

Oh. Em. Gee.

Please Hurry New Moon.
