weekend/on my mind monday

1. still kicking myself for not buying these anthropologie mugs.

2. friday went over to a friends house for a fun evening and dinner. while it was super delish, it was super spicy!! mike said it might be too spicy for me, boy was he right! i had to mooch some off the kids plate to tone mine down. i don't think our host believed him till she took a bite :O)

3. saturday we drove around chicago to look at 3 out of 4 bmw's that hamilton wanted to see. there was something good about each one which is making the decision super tough for hamilton. {this is all his decision so there will be no future arguments that we picked the car, not him}

4. so glad i had my iphone. it got us to each destination with ease. and it got us to pf changs. one of my favorite places to eat. its a good/bad thing there isn't one around us.

5. since kaylee was a "super trooper" {song from mamma mia} i went and bought her the movie saturday night. she's watched it 4 times since.

6. ever feel like laying low and hermitting? i think its still the weather.

7. proud of myself, we had 5 nights of homemade meals. 4 of them cooked by me. and i have a menu planned out this week too so our groceries shouldn't be as much.

8. didn't stay on budget but i guess that has to do with life and living but we were able to put some money aside. so not a total loss.

9. don't get me wrong, we are not struggling for money or anything of the like. just been seeing that we've been spending friviously and it just needed to stop. {my craft room is prime example. its full of stuff i barely use} i want to love what i have.

10. and to be able to go back to hawaii every year.

  1. Did you end up stopping at an Ikea while in Chicago? We often stop by the one in Schaumburg when we're out there - it's huge!

  2. Congrats on eating at home! That's one of our new year's resolutions too! I call it, "Operation Eat at Home!" ;)

    And what island do you guys visit when you go to Hawaii? We try to go there too (my family is originally from there). . .maybe this summer we'll visit again!
