Ohhhh yeahhhhh it’s Friday….which means the weekend has arrived!

I hope you all had a wonderful week and an even better weekend ahead! Why does that sound so corny? Maybe because I would never say that in person? Over it!

You guys, I have 0 plans this weekend. Z-E-R-O! Zip zilch nada! Not one single thing I have to do. Sooooo weird! What am I going to do with myself? I really have no idea.

But, today is Friday and I’ve got 5 things on my mind…..

ONE – Happy #nationalstripesday // AKA J.Crew made up Holiday. Now this is definitely something I can get behind!

GUYS, WE MADE UP A HOLIDAY. Show us how you’re wearing and pairing your stripes with #NATIONALSTRIPESDAY.

Here’s my #ootd representing the best made up Holiday thus far

I wasn’t sure I was the bell-sleeved type of girl, but this shirt proved me wrong. Just give me all the bell-sleeves and I will be happy. This one also comes in Black/Ivory stripe. Annnddd it’s marked down to $31.50!! Size down, it runs large.

STRIPED RUFFLE-SLEEVE T-SHIRT

TWO – Eric Church // Remember on Monday when I said the beach/ocean is good for the soul. Well, so is country music. First off – BIG thank you to Tio + Kissey for the tickets. ~~Alex is no longer a country concert virgin!~~ Scratch that…she claims she saw Tim McGraw (which kinda doesn’t count anyway) You can’t tell in this picture, but Alex is wearing cowgirl boots too. WTF has happened?

And another BIG thank you to Nikki for the pre-party appetizer spread + chard (insert #chardsohard) at the new place. Which is so so so cute! I finally got to meet Katie (with the nice ass) if you follow on snapchat then you KNOW what I’m talking about. Dammmmnnnn! Such a fun night! And a perfect way to start the weekend…minus my keg beer headache and 5 hours of sleep. Ha.

Let’s please do it again. Even if it’s just the 4 of us drinking wine and chatting ♥

I treasure the month of December! It encompasses so many things I love ♥

Extra time with family & friends+ baking (lots of baking) + cozy nights + the best movies (aka Home Alone) + happy hour outings + so many festive events all around town + the lights, I just love all the lights!

I hope you all have a great weekend!!

ONE – George Strait // Guess who’s going Strait (back) to Vegas? So fucking pumped, I can’t even explain!! My Mom bought tickets when they came out on pre-sale Saturday morning. My Mom is the SHIT! I can’t wait for another Vegas weekend with my Mom + Sis…the last one was one I’ll never forget. At least the parts that I remember…lol. You know that saying, “The nights I won’t remember with the people I’ll never forget.” Kinda like that. Haha! I’ve got Strait Out Of The Box on repeat non-stop. Only 238 days, but who’s counting 🙂

You can read more about our Strait to Vegas trip last September here {weekend notes}.

And you better beleive I will be visiting the 24-Hour Taco Bell Casino in Vegas too!! Taco Bell has a special plance in my heart. Similar the the special place in my heart for George Strait 🙂

TWO – Christmas table setting // I’m not 100% it will stay this way, but it’s ok for now. Still obsessed with eucalyptus. I have it all over the house. This tablecloth is just a large piece of melatic gold dot burlap that I scored at JoAnn’s. The mini tree came from Target a few years ago. These are the scented pine cones from Joann’s. The still smell like cinnamon and I love it. The same old candles I use each time. I got the glass holders at Ikea. They are considered wine glasses, but that’s bullshit because it can old hold a sip. The plates + gold flatware are both from World Market. I’ve been only hand washing the flatware and I’m happy to report they are still in perfect condition!! I always grab these buffet napkins. You can’t beat a 6-pack for $9. I wrapped them with twine + cinnamon stick + christmas tree clippings.

It’s FRIDAY Bitches! It’s just so fitting. That’s what I’ll look like today at 5pm! Longest short week every, right? Well the weekend is here and I’m super pumped. But first, I got 5 things on my mind….

ONE – 337 days ago we bought tickets to see King George in Vegas! Strait to Vegas!! Well my friends, the time has come. I’m unable to put in words how excited I am. Pulled out my CD collection. Yes, I still buy CD’s…lol. I like to listen to my favorites on repeat over and over again. Dusted off the cowboy boots and pulled out the daisy dukes. So looking forward to my boyfriend serenading me with all his love songs in person ♥

I also Can’t wait to drink and eat my way through Vegas. Anyone have dinner recommendations? There are entirely too many amazing restaurants to choose from. Eggslut and Serendipity are already on my must list.

You may want to un-friend/un-follow me now….as I will be over posting the shit outa this epic weekend. You’ve been warned 🙂

Click here and you can listen to George’s 50 #1’s though out the day! You’re welcome 🙂

TWO – Target Beauty Box // anyone tried it yet? I have to admit, it just came yesterday so other than the lipstick + chap stick I really can’t give the quality much of a review.

It’s F R I D A Y! And we’re 2-days into the Yolo County Fair. I’ve gained 10 lbs in beer + tacos and it aint over yet.

I’ve got 5 things on my mind this lovely Friday…….

ONE – Yolo County Fair, obvi had to be the #1 spot. It’s that time of year. Our favorite time of the year. We’ve put in some hours, let me tell ya. Tacos + corndogs + beers, oh my. Not to mention the late nights + early mornings. But, you gotta get after it. Go big or go home, right? The kids have so much fun, until they have to wait in the beer gardens for us to grab annnnoottther beer, as Bailey would say. Someone told me last night, “in 11 years, these kids will be drinking beers with us in the beer gardens” OMG! Talk about freak me the fuck out. Eleven years isn’t all that far away considering how quickly the last ten have flown by. Anyway….we are going strong and ready for day #3!! See you there friends.

TWO – Hayes Carll // How did I just hear about him for the first time? Anyone else have a Hayes crush? I have literally listened to him on repeat all week-long. I’m crush’n hard friends!

Happy Tuesday peeps. I’m getting used to this Tuesday instead of Monday gig. Sounds better than Happy Monday anyway, right? Cheers to the week being 60% done!!

Friday nights that start like this are always my favorite.

Had to gear up for David Nail at the Grad. Haha. I literally have NOT been to the Grad since I was about 18 I’m guessing? Well, it hasn’t changed much. Except this time we were VIP.

Hi guys! Took a couple of weeks off to re-group. Take some me time. Figure some shit out. Slow down. Hang some twinkle lights. Everyone keeps asking if I quit blogging. Of course not. Not sure I’ll be blogging every day, like before. (You have no idea how time-consuming blogging can be). I do plan to hop on to share recipes + cool shit I find + rad ideas, you know – all that good stuff.

I actually wrote this post Sunday and for some reason it took me till today to hit “publish.” I kept thinking, maybe wait one more week? Then I decided today, fuck it. Wait for what? So, here ya go….{weekend notes} kinda late. If you know me, then you know I’m ALWAYS late. So it totally works…..

Saturday my girl had her first swim meet of the year. It was a home meet, thank god. I set up our pop-up tent and chairs at 6 am. And the space was already limited that early in the morning. Crazy!

My favorite photo of the day. Bailey on the starting block.

Her best event is the backstroke. That’s her below in lane 6 in the middle under the green flag.

Freestylin’

Sara B with the sharpie art. It’s a swim thing.

We hit up DK’s because she loves the games, and well, I love the pizza. And beer! DK’s selfies for a spin on the famous ticket wheel. The mic with sound effects is the best part. Vanna White has got some competition!

Country 4 Coaches // it was hot as hell. We were exhausted. When country music comes to Woodland, you go. Boots + shorts 🙂

Granger Smith

David Ray

Brodie Stewart

Mark Mackay

Honestly, I didn’t know a single song. Haha.
