Friday afternoon I received a call from my doctor’s office regarding my blood work. I had been having some pretty severe intestinal issues for about 2 years now, but had been avoiding getting them checked out due to my doctor (aka; needle) phobia. However, the pain and general discomfort had reached an all time high and I finally waved the white flag and made an appointment. When I got the call, I knew they had found something.
And that something was Celiac Disease.

What a messy day! I got some dates confused and showed up at something that was scheduled for next week. Seems like my brain has elected to take a vacation. Wish the rest of me would have been filled in. The chill is barely lingering in the air anymore here in South Florida, so this was my desperate attempt to hold on to whatever is left. I adore this skirt because it was such a great deal and works perfectly for the office, but also for play time if paired with a brightly colored tank and strand necklaces (and it has pockets!). My husband has always hated this turtleneck on me (says it is marmish), but I absolutely love the flattering kelly green and wear it any chance I get (neener!).
I’m hoping for a quick and painless work week. My hubs will be out of town on a business trip so the house (& my life) will feel a bit empty and lonely, so I’m pinning for the weekend!
ps; Hope you enjoyed the cameo from my baby BT, Gwen. She did that all on her own. I guess she is hoping to have her own blog one day – she does take after momma!
My bestie, Elsie, and I gorging on our Cake Shakes from Sugar Rush!
Friday night I took my happy little butt right back over to the Tamiami Truckers food court. After a few fun tweets back and forth with Sugar Rush, Sweetness Bakery’s own truck, I had to make sure I swung by for these much gabbed about Cake Shakes. They sound just as evil as they taste, trust me. This particular shake was made with chunks of their red velvet cupcakes, ice cream and a mound of whip cream. It was all sorts of heaven encased in 500+ calories. Oof. If you have one serious sweet tooth, definitely grab one of these the next time you are in the neighborhood.
I was also really happy to see my buddies, Yellow Submarine, at the event. After chatting them up a bit, I was told they would be there every week from now on. So make sure you visit them and pick up a yellow burger…or a yellow dog…or an original sin. Or one of each. Whatever your little heart desires.
A Yellow Burger, in case you need further tempting.
I saw on the event’s Facebook page that they will be moving locations this week, which bums me out a bit, since I liked it being so close to home, and I hope the move is not too drastic. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it this time around as I have a friend’s birthday to attend, but I hope it is just as spectacular! Maybe one of you can bring me a souvenir? 😉

I have to admit, I was in my PJ’s for 80% of today. I actually had to throw on this outfit to go out in public to grab laundry detergent and dinner at a nearby favorite. So it was a quick go-to pick. I absolutely love these jeans – they fit just right and I love the exaggerated flare. I also love that I can wear them with flats, or in this case, Chucks, and they do not drag on the floor. Little things like this are priceless, trust me.
ps; I spy with my little eye: an RGBmonster!

Tonight I was celebrating one of my nearest and dearest friend’s birthday. It had been some time since I had gone out “officially” – probably since my New Years Eve celebration. For a couple that does not stop socializing, this is a big deal. I was happy to get a fun party outfit together, especially since it was chilly out and that meant…TIGHTS! I was a little self conscious throughout the night because of my itty bitty dress (oh, American Apparel, you dirty slut), but otherwise, felt so comfortable. Happiest of birthdays, Ian!
