Well hello!! How are you? Gosh I have missed this blogging thing. Thanks for hanging in there with me while I was working away last week. I hope you enjoyed all of the links last week. If you haven't had a chance to check them out, please do!
This past weekend I experienced life outside of my office for the first time in a while, so of course there were some firsts...
The weather here lately has been very "fallish-like" (first pic), but Saturday was absolutely gorgeous and I was able to enjoy it for the first time in a while. The view in the grocery store parking lot never looked so good (second pic)...
I went shopping for the first time, in actual stores as opposed to online, for the first time in a few months. I wanted EVERYTHING, but my prized possession was that wine glass chandelier from Pottery Barn. My dining room just had to have it, so I got it!! It was 20% off + I had another 20% off coupon, so I feel like it was meant to be. I had to order it, so I won't have it for a few weeks, but that will give me time to wash all 30 wine glasses... :)
So I raided J.Crew. I almost bought those cute boots, but I passed on them for things that I actually needed for the fall like this pencil skirt (in crimson), these jeans and a few sweaters - all on sale (except the jeans) thank you very much.
Sunday, I threw the ingredients of this chicken tortilla soup in my new Crock Pot and let it cook all day while I may or may not have lounged around my house while wearing a scrunchie. I'll never tell. That was my first time making the soup in a Crock Pot and I will be making it another 100 times... Very, very good.
I'm going to take one more day off, but will be back on Wednesday with a sinfully delicious recipe...
P.S. Another weekend of firsts...
We need to schedule a shopping date soon. I am so glad you got that chandelier. Its ridiculously cool!

Haha I know how it feels going into a real store as opposed to going online, I've been online shopping for so long that going into an actual store is amazing! ;)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool chandelier, you totally scored that one!
Ohh you didn't get the booties! well next time right? ;)
ReplyDeleteThat chandelier is chic and adorable! What a fabulous idea! Going to make the tortellini soup this week. Yum!

considering how I have some tortilla strips on deck and won't be eating as quickly with my salads, I will certainly make this so none goes to waste.
ReplyDeleteI am super happy for you for two reasons ...... first you bought that light, good job!!! Secondly, you took some time for you. I do want those shoes, badly!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe've been eyeing that chandy too!! And, your chicken tortilla soup is in the crockpot as I type. Katie has a late flight home for fall break, and it is a fav of hers.
