Happy Monday. (Said no one. Ever.)
Ok so I'm k.i.n.d.a. getting used to this whole "Monday thing"...I mean, it's only taken 26 years for me to figure out they're not that bad. One more Monday means one more day closer to the weekend and one more day closer to the weekend means one more day closer to no alarm clock. (Plus, what would I blog about on Mondays if we didn't have weekends?) Speaking of...mine looked a little like so:
one. Beau's birthday shenans @ Top Golf. (Not pictured: 13 empty buckets of beer)
two. Sun flare, don't care!
three. Friday night lights & a very intoxicated Brian singing his heart out to the lead singer.
four. 11am wake up call. #oops
five. Saturday morning recovery.
six. Getting my green thumb on! (orange, lime, grapefruit & avocado trees planted + a couple strawberry plants)
seven. Baby strawberry. Grow, baby, GROW!
eight. Gifties for our new neighbors (Guess who already got invited to join the neighborhood bunco group?! Holla!)
nine. A very spotless, and happy Howard home. #rare
Link up & join the fun, duh!

And finally, a very special birthday shoutout to my Mother Goose! One can only HOPE to look this smokin' hot on her 50th birthday!
Want in on a little secret? She got her very first tattoo for her 50th birthday.
Baller status, I know.
Love you, mom!
Tonight on the dinner menu: mom's favorite, breakfast + The Bachelor
So basically, waffles and Sean. Hope you're okay with that! ;)
(Yes, she loves Sean as much as the rest of us do.)

How was your weekend? Do any of you kids know anything about growing fruit trees because though I currently have FOUR residing in my yard, I know not the first thing about them!
What is Top Golf? That looks like Disney for grown men.
ReplyDeleteTattoo reveal? Maybe?
It's SO cool! It's actually new to Houston! Imagine bowling, like you "rent" a bay, like you would rent a lane at a bowling alley but it's a 3 story driving range so you can golf from any floor. The big hole things have flags and nets and all the balls are microchipped so it's a game. When you hit the ball and it lands in a net, the chip tells the computer where the ball landed and how many points you can get. There are different games you can play and there are screens with scores and everything. You hit the nail on the head when you said "Disney for grown men" lol. We were there for over 6 hours and had a blast!
DeleteSo your house looks gorgeous!!!! Everything came together perfectly....LOVE!
ReplyDeleteThe sun flare picture is awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd your bathtub looks pretty cool.
I love the gifts for your new neighbors. So cute!!!
ReplyDeleteWe loveeee Top Golf! And I am going to see how your trees turn out before I go planting mine :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your Momma!!! Hope it's a great one!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your mom!!! Glad you had a good weekend. I can't wait to have my own yard so that I can grow awesome fruit, too!
ReplyDeleteyour blue and green dress is gorg!
ReplyDeleteWaffles + Sean sounds like an excellent evening to me. Happy Birthday to your Momma!
ReplyDeleteDo you have the recipe for the waffles? I'm assuming they must be part of your yeast free diet?
ReplyDeleteYour mom is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteTop Golf-Insane! We got there at 2 on Saturday waited 3 hours for a bay and ended up playing night golf. We spent 9 hours there total. Lots of beer, and food, and money were spent but lots of fun for sure!
ReplyDeleteAw, happy birthday to your mama! P.S. I'm thinking of trying yeast free for this week... any ideas for meals? :)
ReplyDeleteI need to plant some fruit trees in our backyard!! Sounds like a great weekend and I have to say that I am loving this Monday because... I am off! THANK YOU MLK!
ReplyDeleteLooks like an overall good weekend to me! I really want to plant some fruit trees, but I don't think I have a warm enough climate for that - hmmm, I need to do some research!
ReplyDeleteLike you, I'm starting to realize that Monday's aren't so bad - I honestly have a harder time with Tuesday's for some reason!
Have a great day : )

Your house is just too gorgeous, girl! I'm obsessed!
ReplyDeleteI love reading weekend posts - they are always the most fun! I love seeing what different people do on the weekends! Your mom is GORG! Found you via weekend update :) xoxo

Your momma is beautiful! Breakfast is my favorite meal, so I can totally relate!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to your mom! and that peak picture from under the sheets. i die! lol
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of the Bachelor... so on my flight to Chicago (work reasons), GIA WAS THERE!!! (from Jake's season plus Bachelor Pad) She is just as gorgeous in person and so sweet! I was freaking out. We were beside each other in the bathroom line in the airport and I met her (didn't ask for an awk bathroom pic but now I wish I had). Highlight of my trip!
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE Top Golf! There's one in Dallas & we go there several times a year... however, it's only 2 stories. I'm sure 3 stories is awesome!!! Happy Birthday to your Mom! Can't wait to see the rest of the house pics!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your little green thumb miss! My parents have always had strawberry plants and they strawberries are so sweet and good! Hope they grow fast :) Thanks for linking up!!
ReplyDeleteSo jealous you get to plant things already! And how cool to have an orange, lime and advocado tree just outside your door!! I can't wait to start planting things, but for now will have to wait a few months...darn Ohio weather! And I love how your house is coming together. Hoping for a home tour soon :)
ReplyDeleteI love the dress you are wearing in the bottom pic. Great colors.
ReplyDeleteSo glad your neighbors like your gift.
I wish I could get a bunco group started around my hood.... or friends even. no one ever has time. i need new friends.
ReplyDeleteTotally loving your necklace in pic #2! And I wish I had your green thumb... Someone gave us a lemon tree for a housewarming gift, and it's still has life to it.. does that count? lol
ReplyDeleteYay for you neighborhood girl! I always thought bunco would be horrible, but then I went to a bunco night, and had the absolute best time. My friends actually called in Drunco night...so you can only imagine!! Have fun with your new neighbors!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fantabulous weekend! We love going to Top Golf, LMFAO 13 buckets of beer, you must have been feeling great on Saturday, NOT! You mom is one smokin hot Momma! Love your dress in that pic, where is it from?
ReplyDeleteYour mom needs to share her "youth secret" with us. She looks amazing! Hope she had a very Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeletethe photo of you and your momma is beautiful! sounds like she had an amazing birthday. and how fun she got a tattoo :)
