Whacky Weekend!!

I had an awesome weekend! I did NOT plan well though for being gone from the house so long on Saturday and Sunday. What started out as an innocent Girl’s Shopping afternoon in the West Bottoms of Kansas City…….

(Lot’s of old buildings, full of lots of old stuff…and some new stuff too!)

…..turned into 6 hours of shopping followed by another 6 hours of Bar Hopping!! Okay…kinda. More on that in a sec. Saturday’s shopping was followed by taking my husband, my dad and my stepmom BACK for a full day of shopping on Sunday!

Lots of great finds…..

I kinda wanna make this lamp!

I think this such a cute idea!

We have this TV cabinet in our bedroom, but if we ever want to turn it into a wine cabinet?????

I love this idea to repurpose all of the wine bottles in my garage!

I wish I had a bathroom to put THIS in!

So clever!!

I really went shopping to get inspiration for the master. I’ve been wanting to redecorate it since I did the Guest Room a few months back. I decided to wait until the Holidays were over, so now it’s time to start planning an idea!

I really want a Headboard similar to this….

It’s hard to see it behind everything….but it is several shutter’s, panels and doors all hinged together with built in light fixtures! I love it!

Here is one a little more simple…but still full of personality and super cute!

I ended up buying this instead!

Okay…food. I seriously lost track of points.

At around 2ish on Saturday afternoon, after only having a banana and a coffee, I had a cup of chili from a food truck. My other options were sandwiches, gyro’s or a walking taco, which is based on a bag of Frito’s. There were salad options, but it was a bit cold and windy out, and there really is no place cozy to sit. I went with the chili and then went back in to shop ASAP! 

At around 4:00 pm, we made our first pit stop for a drink at Anton’s Taproom, to discuss our shopping adventure and our purchases. Mostly, we discussed what flavor beer we should try! Becky had a Coffee Beer!! ICK! I had a Grapefruit Beer! YUM!

Then we moved on…..finding a Chocolate Beer at The Westside Local!

If you haven’t been to The Westside Local, then you’re missing out and you should put it on your list of “Places To Go!”.

We had dinner there and it was awesome! I decided on the Quinoa Bowl which included Kate and Sweet Potatoes!

Then we made a few more pit stops visiting friends….Hamburger Mary’s…..Jalepeno’s…..Tanner’s. Um, I don’t know what time I got home?

Sunday was very similar to Saturday, minus the beer’s and with different people. Small breakfast, didn’t pack a snack. Ended up hungry with minimal options. I had a meatball sandwich. 

We ordered dinner out, late.

Today, I am drinking lots of water and counting points. I really did have a great weekend. I had not planned on making food and beverage so much a part of my weekend, but in keeping with NOT BEATING MYSELF UP…..I’m just thinking about how much fun I had with friends and family!

Okay, I am out the door to enjoy this unseasonably beautifully sunshiny day!

These two rolled in an actual Pile of Sh*t while playing in the backyard!! I’ve spent most of my morning bathing them and cleaning up the mess they brought into the house! They did NOT get a blow dry. Tucker is going to be a tangled mess!!
