Whirlwind of a Week! {InstaFriday #5}

So this week was quite a whirlwind… and to be honest it doesn’t look like I took many pictures with my phone… We spent Sunday traveling and in the er… the rest of the week I feel like I’ve just been running non-stop. It always feels that way when I get thrown into the work week coming back from a trip with no “day off” to recover. I probably should have just taken Monday off, but oh well… It’s Friday, Friday (cue the annoying Rebecca Black song…) I’m looking forward to reclaiming my house and hopefully parts of my sanity this weekend. I’m linking up over at Life Rearranged.

Since last my last InstaFriday post was on my birthday I didn’t want to leave this out… Chris’ Grandma, Mom and Little Payt all helped make me this awesome cake. I had a Texas themed birthday party! It was stellar! I even got a Blue Bonnet Pitcher and Glass set to have a piece of Texas here at home. Love!

We spet most of the day Saturday before we left Texas just hanging around Chris’ grandparents place. It was beautiful outside and Payton found the perfect spot to lounge.

We tried out this place in Granbury, TX called Monte’s Breakfast Burritos… Chris and Payton had their burritos and they were awesome, but I had to get me some REAL Huevos Rancheros! MMMMMM! We wanted to go Sunday before we left, but they were closed… Sad Day.

The car ride home… We were PACKED tight in the Scion. The only place for Delilah was at Payton’s feet. She burrowed in her little hole for most of the trip.

Payton has become quite the diva. She loves picking out new colors of nail polish and wants me to paint her nails all the time. She asked if she could paint my nails… I told her maybe when she is 5. ha.

How most of my Tuesday night was spent… with these books. Why do I procrastinate on my homework? Less than 2 years left… I gotta keep reminding myself of that.

Being home means I have my gym back, YAY! I’ve started the New Rules of Lifting Stage 1 this week, and boy oh boy have I felt it. I am really proud to say I even got brave enough to use the Squat Rack at the gym. I’ll write up a whole post on this eventually…

Why is it that I seem to drink TONS more water out of this cup? I left it here while we were in Texas and I know for certain I didn’t drink enough water. Weird how that is. Maybe its the magical green straw…

I got a new skirt, I love this pattern! Thanks Gap Outlet.

aaaaannnnnd I cut my hair off this week. I always go in stages… Growing it out or cutting it off… I wasn’t excited about the haircut the first day, but its growing on me (HAHA, pun totally intended). It is a lot less maintenance, plus it forces me to actually do something with it since I can’t just put it in a ponytail.

What was the highlight of your week? I’d love to hear from you!!

ps- want a bonus laugh? Watch this…
