In Which Games, Beauty stuff, and fun happened.

Friday: My husband took off for the weekend the day before leaving me to single parent again for the weekend. No big deal, he does this trip yearly but I am beginning to feel like maybe I need a trip now? Seriously I think he could handle a weekend with his daughter on his own. (Longest time without me: 1.5 hrs)  Mama needs some downtime.
Anyhow my youngest brother came over and hung out with Kyra and I and a lot of time was spent chasing Kyra and watching Critical Role.

There was also a wildlife siting. 

Also I took the opportunity to take care of beauty stuff because 1. I enjoy it and 2. My pores needed it.

Then I spent a huge chunk of the evening getting caught up on blog reading and working on this week planner setup. Yep I know how to party. 

Saturday: Pretty much a chill day. My brother and I hung out some more, watched a ton of movies and basically were slugs all day. It was glorious. There is no photographic evidence of the sluggery.



Sunday: My brother wanted to go to the Tabletop store so Kyra and I tagged along.

After that we stopped by the mall and wandered for a while. It was SO MUCH FUN. We don't have an indoor mall close to us anymore (this one is about 45 minutes away) and I miss them so much. Outdoor "shopping centers" are pointless here in Missouri because it is either so hot you melt into the pavement or it is so cold you don't leave the one store you go to. Stupid. Anyhow this was awesome fun and we got to walk around for a good long while and let Kyra play at the play place which made her super happy. Also I got a Milk Tea which made my day. 

After goofing around at the mall we headed home and my other brother came over and Robert came home from his trip away and we all had a game night. It was great fun and we drug it out until 1am before I finally threw in the towel and headed to bed. 


All in all it was great weekend! 

How was yours? 

Happy Monday Everyone.

Scenes from the Weekend

Good Morning Everyone! 

Here's some scenes from our weekend! 

Friday- My husband took the day off and we spent it enjoying the day out. We took Kyra shopping and she picked out these two little Dalmatian puppies. She is IN LOVE with the movie 101 Dalmatians! Anyhow she picked them up and I asked her which one she wanted....she said she wanted both....she got both. We are softies what can I say? 

I had to return something to Sephora and thus did an exchange for something else that I am really excited to do a post about this week! 

After shopping we spent the evening having a game night with my husband's family and my little brother. We had a ton of fun as usual! 

Saturday- It was supposed to be a miserable cold snowy day but instead the weather pulled it's usual mischief and it was rather nice! We decided to take advantage of another lovely day and go out and about. We hit up a Tabletop game store and ended up bringing home even more games! 

After the Tabletop store we stopped by my dad's work and visited him so he could see Kyra for a bit. He loves getting to show her off to his coworkers! 

Next we stopped at Trader Joe's....because that is what everyone does in the city right? Stop at the different grocery stores? No? Just me? Huh.  

Well anyhow we stopped and I picked up my real reason for stopping there. YUM. 

Then my brother's friend said she would like to come up and have a game night again with us. My parents took Kyra for a couple of hours and more gaming commenced. We played until 2am...it was awesome. 


Sunday- Lazy day. We were all pretty wiped out from the days before and thus spent most of the day watching movies with Kyra. Although I still did laundry, dishes, and cleaned all the bedrooms. Still it was pretty laid back. 

 

Mom's dogs were exhausted as well...but very much enjoying the heat from the stove!

Sunday Selfie

Sunday nights are also our nightly dinner/Walking Dead nights. No Oscars for us! Last night's episode was pretty intense though so I think it was a good trade off! 

Kyra didn't watch however. She instead watched 101 Dalmatians for the millionth time with her Pop Pop and enjoyed time riding her rocking horse and delighting everyone. She's adorable. 

So there are the scenes from our weekend! 

Happy Monday Everyone!

Nerdy Girl Confessions: Part 1

Happy Hump Day Everyone! 

It's Time for Confessions! 

Today I bring you a special confession day.....my Nerdy Girl confessions. It is no secret that I am a little *cough* okay a LOT nerdy...but just how far down the rabbit hole does it go??? Well here we go....

 

....I confess that this post was inspired by my super nerdy moment yesterday when Kay over at the Kay Times wrote about Unicorns and how they do not have wings. My response? Yes some do and they are called Alicorns or Pegacorns.....also the Unicorn is the National Animal of Scotland. Yep super nerd right here.

...I confess that I adore Cosplay. I love going to Comic Con and seeing the Amazing Costumes that people come up with. So much time and energy is put into making a character come to life. I love it. 

...I confess that while most people know the lyrics to Disney, I know the lyrics, I know the lines, I know the movies word for word. It is so bad that the only way people will play Disney trivial pursuit with me is if I go last and everyone gets to start with at least two pie pieces. Yep I'm awesome.

...I confess that shows like Face Off and Jim Hensen's Creature Shop are my jam. 

...I confess that Unicorns were my favorite thing as a kid. I LOVED the movie The Last Unicorn and I love it to this day. (Hence my knowledge) 

...I confess I own over 800 My Little Ponies. (I'm still partial to the first generation, though the revival of them isn't too bad, I heart Big Macintosh)

...I confess that I also collect Monster High Dolls. If I were a kid I would totally want these more than any Barbie. It's the perfect combo of Halloween and Adorable! 

...I confess I spend more time watching "Let's Plays" on YouTube than beauty videos. For those that don't know a "Let's Play" is basically watching someone play through a video game. I love watching the horror ones most! (this is one of my favorite Gamers Raedwulf...also Five Nights and Freddy's = TERROR. This video is not safe for work. Click at your own discretion!!!)

So there are my Nerdy Girl Confessions Part 1, there will be additional parts in the future! 

Hope you all are having a good week! We are halfway through!!!!!!
