WIWW: Stripe Obsession, Randoms, and Link Up

Has anyone noticed that no matter what way you turn, there are stripes? 
Black and white stripes Colorful stripes Wide stripes Skinny stripes Stripes, stripes, stripes!
A couple weekends ago at my SIL's graduation party, this is what happened:

The majority of the peeps at the par-tay were all zebra-ed out!

It was a slight joke....at first. Then, when every other person entering the door had stripes on, it was fantastic. There is actually one guy who isn't pictured; he had a red and navy striped polo on.

See what I mean people?! Stripes!

I have been scouring the streets of Pinterest looking for some stripe inspiration and here is what I have found. 

Ummm I wear a small if anyone wants to send me this dress. I have a lot of weddings and showers to go to this summer...justified?

The perfect casual combination for an almost-summer outfit!

Give me some bug-eyed glasses and call me Jackie O. This dress is so chic!

A maxi...need I say more?

Such a classic combination.

This is probably my most favoritest outfit of them all. I mean sparkles, stripes, and floral? Ahhh, perfection!

And we can't forget about this beauty. Tie a hot pink scarf onto that bad boy and helloooo spring-time!

What trends are you loving these days?
And onto the normal Wednesday randomness:
- Not really random, but prayers are still being said for Moore, Ok.
- I made a crock pot meal off Pinterest last night. Epic fail. I made the Crock Pot Santa Fe Chicken and it was not good at all. Bland and boring. Oh well!
- I currently have a party of zits on my face...maybe it has something to do with my unusually high intake of sugar lately. Thank you, Sea Salt Caramel Gelato, thank you. 
- I bought lettuce in hopes of eating more salad. I had to throw it away last night because it went bad. Whomp whomp.
- I have some exciting news in the weeks to come!! I know that is a total tease, but depending on some happenings today, I might be able to blab the news very soon!!

Glued

  All day long I have been glued to the TV watching the tragedy unfold in Oklahoma.   Being just a couple hours south of all this devastation really, honestly, scares the crap out of me. Then seeing that today Oklahoma and the DFW metroplex is due for severe storms, geeezzz Mother Nature. Can you let up just a little, please? As I sit here and type this I am listening to the wind whistle and the rain pour down. I am glued to the radar and am prepared to toss myself and the pups in the bathtub at a moment's notice.  The  TV satellite is out and it is moments like this when I can really stop and appreciate the life I have been given. I will sit here and pray for those hurt in yesterday's tornadoes, as well as pray for everyone suffering right now.  Life is so precious. #prayforOK Have a blessed Tuesday, and hug those loved ones a little tighter. I know I will.  

 

drink your water over the edge of the bed

  Friday started out with a visit to the Massey house. I can't ever pass up a date with this baby, her twin sister, and their momma. Chris was golfing on Saturday morning so I got to enjoy a relaxing cup of coffee in bed with no interruptions. Except Wrigley can't ever keep his mouth shut :) Saturday afternoon was spent with me besites getting pampered and then divulging in all the goodness the Taste of Addison had to offer.   I have kept the color Lucky Lucky Lavender stocked in my cabinet for years now. Lately, though, I have seen everyone wearing it! It is still my fave. It's a perfect summer-time color!  Texas didn't bother bringing the heat on Saturday afternoon. It was around 92! I know I was begging for it to get warmer, but in typical Texas fashion, we either have freezing cold weather, or burning hot weather. Let's just say my hair went into this ponytail approximately .25 seconds after we got out of the car. Luckily there were plenty of samples of margaritas to cool me off. There were tons of restaurants from around the Dallas metroplex, but I decided on Manny's beef tacos for lunch. They did not disappoint!

Saturday night Chris and I had dinner with some friends and then I convinced him to take me to the mall to buy my tennis shoes I have been wanting for-ev-errrrr! I decided on these beauties! They are really more of a light mintish-blue color with a coral sole. I adore them, and so do my tooties. 

And now for my story. 

Saturday night, at approximately 1:45AM I woke up to go use the restroom. I got back into bed and reached for my glass of water to take a sip before sweetly difting off back into a slumber when all of a sudden Chris decided to roll over. He knocked the entire glass of water out of my hand and all over him and our bed. Explicit words were shouted as Chris (poor guy) shot out of bed and was now fully awake. He graciously went and grabbed a dry set of sheets, we made the bed, and everything was taken care of. 

The only problem was that I could not fall back asleep. I asked Chris if he would mind if I turned the TV on and he said he didn't mind...then two minutes later he said it was really bothering him. So, I went into the living room and ended up watching Say Yes to the Dress until 4:30AM. I have never stayed up that late in my entire life!

At that time I decided I should try to fall asleep so I went back into the bedroom and Chris's alarm clock went off at 5:00AM because he was covering a shift for the plant supervisor that day.

Needless to say my sleep schedule was whacked out all day. I ended up sleeping in until 9:30AM, thank goodness.

So, that was my lame story. Lesson learned: drink your water over the edge over the bed...

How was your weekend??
