Thursday

Wow, could I get any more boring with the title of this?! Thursday's always such a pain - it's so close to Friday but still manages to be way too far from the weekend. It was supposed to be 70 degrees here today which got me so excited that spring was here, but it turned out to be a little too windy. Major bummer - hopefully you guys all have better weather luck than I do!

So yesterday Kyle said the funniest thing - which I found to be SO true yet so many of us don't listen to it. He said girls are so lucky that they get to wear sundresses. HELLO? Who doesn't love a sundress? He went on to tell me how comfortable they look and how easy they are...what a fella right? People always think that dresses mean you're dressed up, but quite the opposite: I think dresses show your maximum style with minimum effort.

I've been on the hunt for sundresses this year. I love anything with bright colors or stripes - so I have a pretty broad category. Here are just a few I've been looking at - all different price ranges, mostly different styles. Something I've learned being a dedicated shopper - you can find a great dress for $150, but an even better dress for $20.

Classic Chambray

Stripes

Flutter Sleeves

Lacey

Ella Dress

Maritime

Villa

Strapless Lace

Open Shoulders

Maxi

Unfortunately for me I wasn't blessed with the best of height. Hoping to get in a maxi dress this season and wear it proudly!! Anyone else having springtime fever? Can it be dress time already?! I can't wait until the stores are flooding (even more so than now) with bright colors and fun designs. May the best dress win!

Sunday, Sunday

Hey guys! Hope your weekends were great and that you're having a very relaxing and peaceful Sunday. I just fought tooth and nail with Blogger over template designs, and I lost. If anyone knows how to make the background and the border actually work together, PLEASE HELP!

What do you guys like to do for your lazy Sundays? I know for me, nothing is better than having a TLC day for myself. It's always fun to just relax, sit in bed, watch my favorite movies that I've seen too many times, and just unwind before another week begins.

I do have to go to the library today (wah) to get some work done. Hopefully that goes fast, I just want to get back in bed and relax! Another thing I love about Sundays is the television. Don't tell me I stand alone on this one! Besides Monday, Sunday is definitely a prime TV time. Tonight we have....

1. Desperate Housewives. Eek! It's the last season for the lovely ladies of Wisteria Lane, and I couldn't be more sad about it. I've been loyal to the show since day 1 and I'm going to need another Sunday show to fill the time slot once they decide to leave me for good. Tonight seems like it should be an interesting show though, lots and lots of good old TV drama. With a show that provides us with almost suicides, teenage pregnancy, affairs, and even more juicy stuff...how could you say no? Guilty pleasure. Also, Vanessa Williams addition to the show this season has been so loved by me. I was a huge fan of her on Ugly Betty and she still doesn't disappoint with the housewives.

2. Khloe & Lamar is on tonight. Okay...this is a small situation of pot calling the kettle black. I have a love/hate with the Kardashian clan, especially Kim. Obviously I love watching their shows, who doesn't? But sometimes it just irks me how they get paid so much for doing what seems like so little. But, they are still fabulous to me in their own way (Kourtney especially). I hope tonight is a good episode, it's just so hard to get invested in when it's only 30 minutes!

3. Non-TV related, my parents came to visit me this weekend which was very, very exciting for me! Although it was a short visit (sad) it was what you'd call short and sweet. I miss them very much, who doesn't miss their mom and dad all the time! Still I was very lucky that I got to see them this weekend. Rule of thumb, you need to call your parents and talk to them each on the phone at least twice a week. Trust me, it'll only benefit you.

Geez...do I miss that summer tan or what? Can't wait until our beach trip altogether this summer. Sun, sand, fish? Count me in!

That's all for now, have a great rest of your Sunday. Take it easy!

XOXO, Rosie

Where Have I Been?

Hello hello! Well, to answer the question I unfortunately have not been anywhere exciting. I've been in the wrath of school, to the point where I just haven't had a minute to get on blogger and post-up. I'm really going to make an honest effort to get on here more and continue daily postings - they are so much fun and I need to make more time for the happy fun stuff, as do the rest of you! Hopefully you all can sympathize with how hard it can be to post sometimes and the amount of time/effort it takes...this thing takes dedication! Instead of just diving back in I thought I would give you a glance of what I've been up to recently since Valentines Day.

1. Valentines Day was absolutely amazing this year. Kyle took me out to this great restaurant called Sullivan's. Neither of us had ever actually gone to dinner on Valentines Day, as we usually go the day before or after but this year we decided to go big or go home. The restaurant, true to form, and pink and red balloons everywhere as well as waitresses with adorable pink and red headbands with flowers. Very cute. We had delicious filet mignon with lobster tails, and for dessert a perfectly tasty chocolate mousse with berries. What can I say, the guy spoils me and knows the key to my heart (FOOD!)

2. Before I get ahead of myself, the biggest adventure on Valentines Day was a trip to the emergency room! I was trying to make my honey a nice red velvet cake for Valentines Day (Recipe link posted below!). Unfortunately for me, because I was so excited and flustered about the day, I ended up slicing my finger in the electric mixer. The blood was disgusting, and the ER was actually pretty quick, but I couldn't have gotten through it without Kyle. At least now

we have a scar to commemorate our fun Valentines Day! I'll save you the disgust of posting a picture of the finger, but by the way...the cake was delicious and super easy to make and I suggest you try it if you're a red velvet fanatic like myself.

3. Now that summer (don't let me get too ahead of myself here...so spring) is around the corner, it's probably a good time to shed the winter weight and get ready for a summer in a bikini. If you don't have winter weight, I applaud you! I always fall into the two pound trap: you get to wear yoga pants around all winter so you don't realize how many hot cocoa's or cookies you've been eating. Hopefully the workouts will begin this Monday...Lord knows I need to get my booty back in the gym.

Well, I wish I had more for you today! I'm going to start putting up more soon hopefully, I hope to get back on track with posting. Can't wait until I get to post about which bikinis I have my eyes on for the 2012 sun season!

XOXO, Rosie
