Good Friends, Good Food, and Good Happy!

This weekend was pretty fun.  Friday night I was able to enjoy some me time and just recuperate from the week while my friends went out and did their own thing.  The weather warmed up a little too, which was nice-33 degrees is practically a heat wave compared to the temps lately!

Saturday night we went out to Tempanyaki with a bunch of friends.  The roommate, Shawn & Justin, Julie and her date the Pincushion, and I brought the new guy I'm seeing (which some friends have started calling the punching bag-and I'm debating nicknaming him Rocky for this blog purposes-related to his recent MMA fight experience.)  It was a really good time and I got nice and toasty on Sopporo Beer, which is really good.

Sunday we invited a couple of friends over and the roommate made Boeuf Bourguignon for dinner.  It was amazing and we had such a good time! Even my crazy friends for playing in the snow barefoot.

The warmish temperatures didn't last long, as Sunday night brought on a blizzard that is supposed to last until Thursday.  I'm pretty much at my limit for snow and I can't wait for warmer temperatures so I can go outside again! This morning on my way to work I was stuck going less than 5mph on the freeway for over a half hour... No bueno.

Things making me happy this week:
  • The Body Shop sent me a HUGE box of samples that I am super excited to try out-and for the bonus, they sent some delicious things for me to giveaway here on the blog!  I am sooo excited! 
  • I have a really great group giveaway going live on the blog tomorrow.  $50 Target Gift Card, ad space, an awesome skull necklace, and a crochet wrap bracelet!  All of the prizes are so lovely! 
  • I received my sweet cards I ordered from Painting Bliss and Ashlie sent me a lovely little handmade necklace too.  It is so pretty! 
Painting Bliss sent me this lovely necklace with my order!
  • Rocky (nickname under review) makes me happy.  And scared.  Oh so scared.  But happy also.  The fact that we can just tell each other "Hey I'm scared as hell because I'm so damaged from all the failed relationships littering my past" is a huge plus.  He admitted to me that he has limited his time with me because he's afraid of getting hurt again, and I admitted that I am also freaking out about the whole thing-and we both just promised each other "I'll try if you try."  Amazing.  
  • My friends like Rocky (do we like that nickname?) and he seems to like them.  A BIG plus-and 100% necessary.
  • I found the cutest shirts at Torrid.  I got a Dr. Who one, an All You Need is Love one, and a Zombie Hands Heart one!  So cute and they're extremely figure flattering.  I love it!

  4. YAY! I'm so happy about ALL of that! :D

    (and so wonderful that you and Rocky are both gun-shy, but not so much that you won't take a chance and give things a try).

    Also, those shirts...holy boobs, Batman! Nice to see Torrid finally carrying better stuff. Or, at any rate, stuff that I would buy. ;)

  5. You're a girl after my own heart. I love Doctor Who and the Beatles. I have a different All You Need Is Love shirt (I actually have two different ones) and I just got a Doctor tee that says I <3 <3 DW (two hearts since the Doctor has that). I like Rocky, it's tough but cool.

  7. I absolutely LOVE that Dr. WHo t-shirt! :D You've had a great week, my dear! I like the name Rocky. So cute. I dated a guy in HS named Rocky...We were Ricki and Rocky! :/

    We're expecting severe storms in the AM with possible tornadoes, so school won't open until 12:05. Kind of crazy, because they are dismissed @ 3:35.

    Thanks so much for linking-up!!!

    xo,

  10. Oh man. So many things make me happy! Reading blogs makes me happy--I just don't always have the time. It stinks but things will get better.

    I love following your pics on instagram. I don't get on there as much as I want to either lately. Too many addictions! I may have a problem!

    Thanks for linking up my friend!
