The hubby and I had a really nice weekend...we were finally able to get out for a bit...and when I say a bit I mean 3 hours of crazy fun before we started yawning and realizing that we were exhausted. I hate that the only time I have in a day is from 8pm to 11pm...so if you wanna hang that is when we can hang...just sayin...ANYWAY...I was super excited to get out to Boulder City...one of my favorite places to go when the sun is setting...We always stop at this Antique shop...displayed outside are vintage lawn furniture, frames, and well basically EVERYTHING I need to complete my very eclectic home...The couple that owns the store spotted us taking pics and were thrilled that we were so excited to be there...too bad it would have been obvious if I had stolen one of those frames...haha Next time I am going out there to buy something! They also had a festival going on for one of the bars and were playing music outside...the weather was perfect and I wanted to dress up a little...by this I mean put on a dress... haha and after seeing these pics I am super thrilled I am getting my hair done on Thursday..what color IS my hair anyway? haha oh and thank you hubby for the pics..half the time I didn't even realize he was taking them!
Funny story about this dress...6 people including a man who stopped riding his bike just to tell me how gorgeous I looked...haha one man actually stopped me and said I was the best dressed women he had ever seen...yeah I know...it wasn't exactly the Emmy's but I was feeling pretty...and shouldn't you feel pretty on date night? You should also make sure to get your fortune told by Zoltar and find yourself with a Zagnut...and old fashion candy.....I only hope that we can do it again soon...

Well, I am like the last person to jump on the Chambray shirt situation...I found this one at Savers and never thought I would ever wear a jean shirt again after wanting a full jean outfit when I was 12 during my first modeling gig...the girl with the poofy hair got to wear it and I was NOT happy...I preceded to make my mother buy me every jean skirt and jean jacket there was....I put buttons, and patches, and all kinds of mess on it and wore it till it fell apart. A lotta years later here I am...wanting to wear jean again...I also LOVED these Hudson jeans I got from Marshalls a couple of years ago...you can always find great jeans there....sadly they are looking a little saggy..CRAP! I barely wore them! Anyway...I didn't end up wearing this shirt to work...cuz after I took pictures I was a sweaty MESS....haha...Jean shirts...or CHaaaaaMBRAY are not quite ready for this heat....I will wait...untill then...Have a wonderful weekend and I am hoping and PRAYING and PROMISE to post my Bikini Competition update, pictures and video...the hubby has offered to help finish it....

Love you guys ! and see you Monday for Thrifters Anonymous!!! Loving this weeks posts!!

Hi. I'm not wearing this today. It is Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, and I am wearing a dress by Jason Wu for Target. I did however wear this last week...that is how behind I am. Too many appointments, and not enough sleep has made me tired..and for the first time I woke up with bags under my eyes...I have NEVER had bags under my eyes....I need a vacation where all I do is sleep....Oh and as I begin to go through all of my clothes and transition to Fall I am also finding lots of shoes I haven't worn a whole lot...most from Marshalls...I am trying to see which will transition with me...and I am hoping I can make this work...I LOVE them...
L'Shana Tova (Happy New Year) and to hoping I can get back on some sort of schedule....

Happy Anniversary to my love...what you don't know is in this last picture we were dancing until 3am...with a handful of friends around us we were officially kicked out of the reception hall...hey..at least I got my moneys worth! Hope I didn't totally scare you away with all the pics! Hope you are having a great Friday!!! Will be posting lots more of workouts and diet on my instagram if you wanna follow! @colorblindblog 

P.S. I also discovered that I need a new blog layout....I couldn't even fit the pictures on my post! haha I never really intended for this to be much, but I am not realizing I might need to upgrade. Anyone have any suggestions? Referrals? anything?
