Mixer, Food, and Friends Oh My!

Last week was a good week - a really good week.

1.  Thursday I had lunch with Cristin - she was in Macon for the day and it was so good to see her and catch up.  Even though we were in the same sorority at Mercer, we did not become friends until after college.  Now we are soul mates.

2.  Thursday night I had sushi with Carol & Carley.  I have been good friends with these chicks since high school.  I've know Carley since 3rd grade (when she had brown hair ;) ) but we did not become good friends until high school.  We try to get together at least once a month to catch up and this past week it was time!  We had a great sushi date together!

3.  Thursday late night I was able to get a KitchenAid Classic Stand Mixer from Lowes.com for $19.10 (w/ tax).  I was pumped!  Lowe's was running a facebook promotion in which they gave out a promotional code after midnight Thursday that allowed a limited number of people to get the mixer for 90% off.  I couldn't believe that I got it.  I was so excited and acting crazy that Alan questioned if I was the woman he married. :)

4.  Friday I went to Christmas Made in the South with mi madre.  I purchased several things that I am excited about - I will share two of them with you.  The first thing is an awesome mason jar lid lamp thing.  I already put it on one of my mason jars.  I have to find a shade for it still - I just love it.  I also have to decide what to put in my mason jar - decisions, decisions.

The second thing is an awesome wood turkey that you put in your pumpkin.  It is so cute!  I had to move it from its current location on the porch to take this picture - the sun was way too bright where it was!

5.  Saturday I went to a luncheon for my friend, Tiffany.  I've know Tiffany since college - we were sorority sisters and roommates.  Saturday night, a group of us went to dinner at Grits to celebrate Tiffany's upcoming wedding.  It was so great to spend the day with 3 of my former roommates and several other friends from college.  We have a blast when we are together!

I was pretty pumped about my 3 great days in a row.  Working on keeping the streak going...
