Weekend

Thank goodness for the weekend! This past week was a loooong one, and I'm so glad that it's over. I only have about two more weeks before Las Vegas, and then off to see my dad that weekend. Can you believe it? Like a million flights in one week? I don't know what I was thinking on that one.

But this weekend has been productive.... I repainted and re-hardwared an old dresser, made cookies, did laundry, finally bought some tips for my decorating bags (and decorating cupcake purposes!), and even took a shower.

Tomorrow will be relaxing in our pool (baby pool bought at Big Lots for $37. Don't hate. It's gonna be awesome), and drinking from our box of sangria (from Costco. Again, don't hate. It says it's from Spain. Really.).

So I will leave you with a picture (dresser makeover to follow on Monday!), just because a successful blog (not like this is) always has pictures.

I am so not a model, my hair needed re-highlighted at this point, and I found those purple mardi gras beads outside the hotel. It's such a waste to let them go, because they oh-so-match my orange dress? I don't know.

Have a great weekend everyone!

  I am going to Vegas in a month! Woo hoo!!

  I think Scotty McCreery needs to be the next American Idol.

  I also think Jimmy on this show is creepy for some reason, but I do love me some Jennifer Lopez.

  I'm contemplating going to cosmetology school. No, I wouldn't be leaving my job for it; it would be after work. I am getting really excited about it, so I know that it would be for me.

  Sales is getting easier.

  Yesterday was the first time I've been to Tuscaloosa to make sales calls. Below are some pictures of the damage of the tornado. Sorry they're awful; they're taken from the 'berry from my car, but you can see the devastation just from the pictures.

** edit ** I'm totally pulling for Haley now! She rocked it last night!

Restaurant Review :: Sugar's (Chattanooga)

We got to Chattanooga on Saturday just in time for lunch. My dance instructor told me about this place called Sugar's. It promised both bourbon and BBQ, so we were there! (after a brief walk in the rain, where Lindsey got splashed by a car).

The bourbon! They have happy hour from 11-7. Talk about happy hour!



They had so many bourbons there, and a different one to shoot everyday (of course except for Friday when we there). Only $2!

They had 7 (or 8?) different kinds of BBQ sauce, ranging from mild and thick, to you'll be feeling this 20 mins later when you run your tongue across your lips like an idiot. I was feeling a bit adventurous.

Pork butt sandwich. With potato salad...before the dousing of the BBQ sauce. This place didn't own a fryer. They grill everything they offer as sides, including okra.

Lindsey's lunch. She got a taco and a mini-q. You can't see it, but she did get the grilled okra, and she loved it.

Rockin' Rita! Our bartender was not stingy on the first drink by any means, so we decided to girl it up for the second drink.

Easy, simple decor. Except for the backsplash of the bar, which I wish I had a picture of. A rose in a rocks glass? I can do that!

I really thought that this was going to be all tourist-y, but it really wasn't. It was lunch time on a Friday, and we were one one of five tables in there. The bartender informed us that they have live blues music on Friday and Saturday nights as well.

The bbq was delicious, as were the bourbon drinks. Two thumbs up from this girl!
