Weekend Wrap-Up and THE GIVEAWAY!

Good Monday morning loves!  I hope you all had a FANTASTIC weekend.  We had the laziest, most non-eventful weekend and surprisingly, I LOVED it!  I don't know what's wrong with me, usually I am going into convulsions if we don't have something fun planned that requires getting us out of the house and my getting to get all cute-ed up.  But lately (and this is mainly because my mister's had to work all. day. long. on the weekends and going out party-hardy style after a 12 hour work day on a Saturday is notsomuch fun for him ... stupid busy season) we've been super lazy bums holding up at home and doing a whole lotta nada, and I (the social butterfly that I try to be am) have THOUROUGHLY enjoyed it!  SO all that's to say that our Friday night consisted of a little of this ...




and a little of this ...




with a little of this ...


{Johnny Depp.  Swoon.}


Which I promtly proceeded to do a lot little of this, about 80% of the movie, which of course I always NEVER do ...




Saturday, like I said, the mister had to work.  So I met my cousins, mom, aunt and Silly for a repeat of last year's girl's day pedicure of which, this year, I (shocker) took NO pictures of ... 


{picture of Erica from last year}


{picture of me from last year, cute super short bangs Kate, are you 2?}


And then my hard-workin' mister FINALLY got to come home and we went and ate a lot little of this ...




Where I proceeded to choke and blow diet Dr. Pepper, pork tenderloin and new potatoes out of my nose and all over my mister thouroughly enjoyed a yummy bar-b-que meal and proceeded to have the most hilarious text-a-thon with my Soulmatey who was havin' herself a good time in Breckenridge, CO.

We then went home for my mister to continue working (boo diggity boo boo boo) and I fell asleep again like I do in all movies watched a little of this ...




Which, bythaway, can we go ahead and talk about how much I LOVE these two?  Cause I just think they're the cutest ...


{LOVE!}


And last, but not least, we woke up Sunday morning, went to church and came home where I did a little of this ...


{he did too}


Followed by some awesome fellowship time with our home group.  And that's about it friends.  LA-ZY weekend and it was wondermous.

Oh, but I MUST tell you a story about my pup on our jog on Saturday.  I woke up on Saturday to the most gorgeousness of a day and decided that I could not pass up a nice little jog with my pup on such a day.  He did pretty well (i.e. not pulling and deciding he needs to sniff a particular patch of grass whilst YANKING my arm out of it's socket and possibly off my body) but he has this little problem with other dogs.  And by problem I mean he is either freaked out by ones that he can't see but hears them barking or whines, cries, howls, shakes, whimpers and PULLS whenever he physically sees one.  He's just social like his momma.  He can't help it.  SO when we were jogging back towards the house a large (from his bark, but maybe his bite's not so bad?) dog starts barking at Koda from behind a fence to which Koda immediately starts to cower and whine.  I then tell him it's okay, reassure him that he is, in fact, a good boy and he yanks my arm out of it's socket pulls me towards the fence said dog is behind.  He then looks at me, looks back at the fence, marches his wagging tail over a little closer to the fence, lifts his leg and MARKS HIS TERRITORY.  I don't think I could've been more proud than if I were his real momma.  And I MAY or MAY NOT have said "You tell that big dog bubbers (one of Koda's 852 nicknames) GOOD BOY!"  Not that I have anything against the big dog behind the fence.  Truth be told if he was out on a leash I'd probably beg his owner to pet him and introduce our dogs H-bent on making them bff's.  But BOY was I proud of MY boy showin' him he meant biness. 

And SPEAKING of pups, that leads me to my GIVEAWAY!  I'm SUPER de DUPER excited about this giveaway!  Like I said Friday, the fantastic site that is hosting this giveaway has all KINDS of fun stuff, from kids bedding to fun handbags and totes to home decor, but the store I'M giving something away from is none other than SimplyDogBeds.com!  And what I'm giving away is this little beaute ...

{the stuff sack will be included}
