Yep, I am still wearing these shorts everywhere! Nick and I had a fun packed Saturday in San Francisco, attending the Giants game and wandering around the pier with two of our favorite people. Check out my instagram page for pictures from the game. Have a great week!

The Finale:
 
Strategic
 
Because of your strengths, you are a self-reliant person who needs time alone to think and work. You generate innovative ideas and propose systematic programs of action. You likely identify recurring configurations in the behavior of people, the functioning of processes, or the emergence of potential problems. By nature, you can reconfigure factual information or data in ways that reveal trends, raise issues, identify opportunities, or offer solutions. You bring an added dimension to discussions. You make sense out of seemingly unrelated information. You are likely to generate numerous ways to enhance, upgrade, revise, correct, or revamp a process, action plan or itinerary. Your suggestions often influence how a project will unfold in he coming months or years. Fixing people or things ranks high on your favorite activities. Chances are good that you customarily pinpoint the core problems and identify the best solutions. You artfully and skillfully eliminate distractions. This helps people gain a clear understanding of what is happening and why it is happening. You frequently identify ways to transform an obstacle into an opportunity. You yearn to improve things about yourself, other people, or situations. You are drawn to classes, books, or activities that promise to give you skills and knowledge you seek.
 
I hope that you enjoyed reading about my top five strengths/themes. I was a little surprised with the outcome of my assessment. It took some time for me to realize that these really did fit my, even if some apply better to different aspects of my life (personal versus professional).  If you were interested in finding out about yours I think you can go to the GALLUP website, although there may be a fee involved in taking the assessment.

Date Night

Nick surprised me with a date to the movies on Tuesday evening. We figured out that the last time I had been to the movies was last summer! We used to go all the time, but neither of us have movie going very high up on our list of priorities. It was nice to treat a weekday like the weekend for once though. It was also a good way to cheer me up.

As many of you already know, my grandma passed away on Sunday. I have very mixed emotions when it comes to death, but one thing that I do know is that even under crappy circumstances it is always great to see family. The rosary was last night and afterwards many of us headed to dinner. On the car ride home I was smiling and feeling so much joy after being around family and catching up. It makes me want to buy a bunch of land and build our own little commune that we all live in. Who's in? :)

So, I have a confession...Whenever a new trend comes out (i.e. peplum, colored denim, etc.) I have a tendency to buy a ton of stuff. Remember when cropped sweaters were all the rage about 7? years back? (guess who has a bin full of them) I am also a bit of a clothes hoarder. When you add up the trend purchasing and hoarding, you're left with a pretty full closet. I have been making a conscious effort to not "over buy" when it comes to a trend. I am proud to say that I have limited myself to a few items. The next couple of sentences are meant to be purely observation, not criticism. There are other blogs that I look at and lately I am finding myself uninterested. I think it might be the overload of "trends." So I apologize if you want to see the latest and greatest everyday, but I think that some days we need to put down the chambray or peplum top, colored skinnies, and statement necklaces (myself included).  Thanks for reading!

This was my "last day of work" outfit. Statement necklaces have been all the rage lately and I can see why. My outfit would have been rather plain without it. I apologize for the late post, my husband strained/tore his hamstring last night, so I was getting ice, motrin, snacks, etc. instead of writing my post. As a result of said left hamstring injury, I am getting some practice driving around the stick shift....you may want to stay off the roads. :)

I have been attempting to spice up my shorter hair lately, since I am REALLY missing my long hair. Lydia's hair on RHOC is not helping my hair mourning at all! Have a fabulous weekend.

Last night I prepared dinner, got my TV tray out and cozied up on the couch in anticipation of watching the second disc of Dexter. A surprise in the form of "The Usual Suspects" appeared on the screen instead of my beloved Dexter. My husband, unbeknownst to me, switched our Netflix queue! Don't worry folks, I have already filled out the paperwork for an annulment...

I am so amazed at the number of fashion blogs that exist on the web. I am thinking of silly similes to describe just how small and insignificant my little blog is, but none of them are very good so I will keep them to myself. Instead I will repeat the Nemo phrase...just keep blogging, blogging, blogging, oh wait, is that not it? ;) Have a fabulous day!

Nick and I have had such a wonderful weekend, reminding me to be so thankful for our fabulous friends and family. We started our three day weekend off with dinner at a restaurant that I have been wanting to try for years, helping celebrate the five year wedding anniversary of our cousin. There may have been vodka cranberries and a haircut involved. On Saturday we attended an army themed birthday party for their two sons. I have never seen so many plastic guns in my life. We ended the evening with a sushi dinner date with my favorite running partner ;) and Aziz Ansari (so hilarious). Sunday we relaxed, picked some cherries, and shared a wonderful meal at our aunt and uncle's house with my mom and her bf. Don't you just love three day weekends?
 
p.s. If you follow on instagram you will find pictures of several of our outings.
