life lessons.



life lesson 908347943908

do NOT put glass in the baby carrier of the grocery basket.

this could happen:



and of course I drop the nastiest looking jar haha
It is chicken enchilada soup mix.

but looked like barf in a jar.
and then barf on the floor.

and it got on my shoes.

I couldn't help but scream so loud when it hit the floor.

and alllllll of the afternoon HEB grocery shoppers just stop and stare.
(do you know how many people shop on Sundays?!) 


_____

I will say, 
you can turn any mortifying event into a reason to eat.

so I took my enchilada stank foot walk of shame and got another jar of mix,
added some chicken,



and topped it with 
-cilantro -tortilla strips -sour cream -guac -cheese


it was delicious!


but I think my face is still a little red from that 5 minutes of waiting for the 
HEB clean up squad.


lesson learned.

weekend things.






so obviously J doesn't understand the importance of a 
salted caramel mocha selfie. 

(ps. auto correct tried to change "selfie" to SELFISH.)
hahaha.

yes. spot on. 

___

Ginger and I hung out this weekend.

I love her with my whole heart.


____

Sunday we celebrated Jessica's birthday by going out to brunch.

It was by far the best brunch I have ever attended.
we sat there for over 3 hours eating, drinking, and laughing.


I wish we had an elementary group pic to side by side this one.
such long, wonderful friendships. 


___

I made myself this beautiful 
Moscow mule arrangement.

the copper is fun for fall!


____

update on my foot:

I thought I had originally twisted my ankle or something... 
but it is a stress fracture on my heel.

  I have been a cry baby about it for the last week.

I just can't do anything & it is frustrating.
I know it is a minor minor pain in comparison to so many other things.
but it sucks.
I feel like I am wearing high heels and can't take them off.


it will eventually be fine & I will forget it happened,
but until then... tennis shoes with inserts all day. 



___

ps. wasn't that hint of fall weather so lovely?!

good/bad.



this weekend was pretty busy, but fun filled busy.

and isn't it funny how life is just not perfect?!
this weekend was a lovely portrayal of highs & lows lol


SATURDAY:








the bad:
that hummus & frozen cocktails gave me heartburn for the whole rest of the day,
I realized I lost my debit card at some point. blah.

 the good:
work was busyyyy,
Jessica was off work,
we headed to Boheme for drinks & snacks,
had a bake off with my friends while we watched college football & painted our nails.



___

SUNDAY:










the bad:
I twisted my ankle somehow, just walking. it still hurts! 
J had an actual screw in his food at lunch,
it decided to rain so horribly right when I had to run up to PLT for some minor issues 
with the receipt printer. 

the good:
it was Chuck Noll Day,
NFL week 1,
Steelers win,
got to see my girls,
got a free ice cream sundae (bc of the screw in the food),
& met baby Makayleigh!
(and holding a newborn is the closest thing to feeling God, to me.
It is just overwhelming and amazing.)



___

Monday:





the bad:
seriously, my ankle still hurts... lol
and I can't tell you the last time I worked out, this isn't helping,
all those boxes means a lot of work too.


the good:
SALTED CARAMEL MOCHAS, so good!
Lunch on my day off with my favorite people,
lots of new stuff for PLT,
housewives fun with my friends.

_____


have a GOOD day!
(or at least let the good outweigh the bad. always!)

NEW STADIUM?!!









yeah, we felt it too!

until...
we did not score until the 4th quarter
(after the 2nd string was put in from UTSA)

but that is not important.
