This Week...
I realized that unplugging is good for a little while. Not good when it's caused by falling trees, but still a good thing in general.
downed tree in front of my parents house. yikes!
I found the wonder of the mashed potato bar. I'm thinking of making a permanent one in my apartment. Mashed potato martini, anyone?
I think Shaun and I decided on some colors to paint our walls. I'm sorta kinda excited now, instead of being filled with dread. For the entryway/kitchen/living room, we're thinking an icy blue. Our place is already dotted with red and I think blue will be a bright, happy complement. Image found here via Pinterest.
For our master bathroom, I also want something bright and cheery. After finding this image via Pinterest, I thought this fun artichoke color would be nice to complement our light brown tiled back splash (which came with our place when we moved in).
Next up, we'll have to figure out the bedroom (I'm thinking a deep gray or brown? Something on the bold side) and the den (no ideas there).
I had {a loooong overdue} dinner with Lindsey at La Carbonara, our favorite spot.
The Giants played twice! Yay! I am so excited for football season to official start next week!
I decided that I despise the new Target Back to School commercial. I see it all the time now and I just think it's annoying. And makes me not like Target so much (which I ususally love) and it kinda makes me want to gauge my own eyes out.
I gathered all my supplies to make a giant batch of fruit pops for a party this weekend. I might even be making another dip to go with them this time...I'll keep you posted!
So that's what's going on with me this week!

This week drug on forever! I'm happy the weekend is here. I'm heading to Central PA to spend time with my family. Now I need to convince my mom to add a mashed potato bar to our picnic!
I am really liking the icy blue color paint you want to use and those fruit pops look so delicious. IN fact, I would take fruit pops over cake pops anyday. I love my fruit. Now i am one for potatoes all of kinds but I don't think I am a mashed potato bar fan. I just don't think I could do it. Might stem back from my childhood days when I detested mashed potatoes:)
I just have to say eewwww! to that Target commercial. Are they really depicting teachers like that?.... Major Dislike!!!
i love finding other girls that are just as excited for football as I am :) I only watch college but I am SO Excited that it started last night!!!
my weekend plans: spending time with my family who is visiting, making jam, going to the Hokie game(!), laughing a lot.
looks like you had a good week! mine was excellent, especially because it flew by. this weekend i'm going to some Labor Day parties, doing lots of cooking + baking, + (hopefully) catching up on some sleep. my husband is taking a half-day today so we can stretch the 3 day weekend into a 3.5 day weekend. =) should be wonderful!
love the paint colors! we painted our master bath gray and i love it!
I have a pretty exciting weekend planned.... lots and lots of thesis research and *hopefully* a break to see my parents. I'm whining, but I'm actually kind of consumed by my thesis right now, so I'm not dreading the research, just hoping I can break away to have some fun too!
We are having a mashed potato bar at our wedding - SO excited! :)
I HATE HATE THAT COMMERCIAL TOO!
"tape.. THAT STICKS....!"
and holy wow, can we just open a potato bar restaurant?
Oh Pinterest!! I love that thing. I usually use it for "wish list" stuff and crazy pictures. :-)
And I've never heard of a mashed potato bar. That just sounds crazy amazing.
Pinterest is totally addicting - and has made me want to redecorate my whole house! Loving those colors!
Love the paint colors you chose! Your friend kind of looks like Emma Stone!
Umm....I think I want a potato bar in my house too. That sounds AMAZING.
