Girls Night Out..Kinda
A couple weeks ago some good friends of mine and I had dinner with their kids and two little ladies that I was watching for the evening. It was quite entertaining I must say with a 7 year old, a 6 year old, two 3 year olds and a 4 month old baby boy! I was able to capture some pictures once dinner was done and we were on our way out!

I've Come to Realize...
That not all childhood friends should have made it this far in my life
Sometimes you have to be a bitch to get people to know you stand your ground
I really don't like vegetables
Some dreams will come true
Not to delete texts and emails before I get a reply, I easily forget what I sent
I like to write only in black ink
My cat isn't loving and freindly as I'd hoped for
That traveling isn't so bad after all, as long as you are in good company
I really do love my hair dark
That blogging is really my favorite thing and I have often have to say that I am quite good at it
That my sister and I will never be as close as I would like
You have to let people go, grow up and return when they are ready
That Prayer really does work
That the man at the taco truck really isn't that friendly

48 Hour Get A Way.
I left with hopes to capture lot of pictures... With a long friday evening including lots of alcohol, a cab ride that seated 5 but actually had 8 piled in and not getting back to the hotel until 4:19am, pictures was the last thing I was thinking about. I couldn't wait to hit the pillow and hoped not to wake up until noon!
But as we were checking out I did notice these two little mini fridges side by side in the hotel lobby snack shop! Perfect for and after PARTYING!

It's Ok To.
Have lunch out 3 times the week and have sack lunch 2
Hang out with an Ex as long as you are both single
To Dream
Change up your Starbucks order every once in a while
Buy a piece of clothing in a smaller size and work hard to fit into it
Grow apart from people who have always been in your life, but never been there for you
Venture out and try to new things like a new gym class or dating site
To clean out your Contacts, sometimes we need to get rid of the bad digits in our lives
To be you and let others see that

Hair Products Must Have.
If you are lazy at doing your hair like I am, then these following products are right up your alley. Once a week to every two weeks I wash my hair (gross I know), I don't blow dry it nor do I ever use products. But on occasion I like to use some hair spray and a little curl enhancer like these two..
