Morning friends, hope you all had lovely little weekends. I am pretty much exhausted this morning after a weekend of a little too much eating, drinking and not really sleeping. Apparently I’m not 21 anymore, who knew.
I know I’ve told you before that I’m a total homebody, and nothing makes me happier than a night consisting of this perfect equation: Sweatpants + couch + DVR + wine = happy Jess. Instead, we had 2 parties to attend this weekend, so my couch time was very limited. The first was a going-away celebration, and the second was a birthday party for another friend of ours (Amanda) who also just got engaged. It was a festive weekend of fun times with good friends, capped off by climbing into a cab far too late Saturday evening (Sunday morning?).
Sunday morning, as I was patiently waiting for Brandon to get home with some much-needed Sonic tots for breakfast, Mary (the biff) texted me this little nugget:
Oh you know, just me matching the party decor like a boss. I mean, can you even see that napkin? It’s like Where’s Waldo. And yes that is a spoon in my tank, but merely for effect, I assure you. This is also probably a good time to tell you that I’ve declared the messy bun the official hairstyle of Jess’ Summer of ’12. Get familiar.
Speaking of fun accessories, I finally treated myself to the most beautiful wrist candy in the whole wide world!
Hello, lover. Interestingly enough, the sister wives were the ones who pushed me over the edge into buying it, as me and Steph were the only ones sans MK watches that weekend. I think I might have also convinced her to take the plunge…
So today’s plan: Drink copious amounts of coffee and water, and try not to fall asleep under your desk. Or on it. And stare at your sparkly new watch often.
What was the best part of your weekend?

Love the watch, I bought one for myself last year as a birthday present (thank you, Nordstrom Semi-Annual Sale) and still feel like we’re in our honeymoon stage.
May 21, 2012 at 9:35 pm
I we’ll be in that stage for a looong time.
May 21, 2012 at 10:16 am
With our powers combined we areeeee team sister wives!
May 21, 2012 at 9:35 pm
I can’t wait til we reunite again and can get a “team photo”
May 21, 2012 at 10:38 am
That is a BEAUTIFUL watch. Love it. Classic.
Love the shirt/napkin combo. Too cute.
Happy Monday Jessica! I hope it’s relatively painless for you.
May 21, 2012 at 9:37 pm
Thanks, I think I’ll always call ahead from now on and make matching the cocktail napkins my “thing”
May 21, 2012 at 11:06 am
It’s like, even though we’re all so far away, the watch connects us.
May 21, 2012 at 9:37 pm
Like fivel goes west.. “sommewheere ouuut there…”
May 21, 2012 at 11:22 am
So…you totally planned ahead with the decor, right? I mean, that’s totally something you’d do.
Also, I’m really jealous that you have a Sonic close enough to save you from a hangover. There isn’t one remotely close to me. I cry frequently over that fact.
May 21, 2012 at 9:38 pm
We never go either! It’s a crime.
May 21, 2012 at 11:25 am
I assume you are talking about that fabulous watch. I love my MK too.
May 21, 2012 at 12:42 pm
Hahaha I absolutely love this. Way to be coordinated, and I’m jumping on the messy bun bandwagon as well. With the humidity up here, it’s kind of the best hairstyle ever.
May 21, 2012 at 9:39 pm
Oh exactly. I don’t even have a chance when it’s muggy.
May 21, 2012 at 12:52 pm
I just realized today that I only ever set the time part on my watch. The date is off and I don’t know how to fix it. But it’s still beautiful, so I don’t care.
I wish I could rock the bun, but I fail at hair.
AND, so so jealous of the Sonic action.
May 21, 2012 at 9:39 pm
Next time we hang I’m teaching you all my hair secrets. And to change the date just pull the windy thing out til it clicks twice
May 21, 2012 at 3:54 pm
hahaha I love this picture! Jess you are always in style! It’s like your 6th sense! Thanks for coming to my party! We had a blast!

What does this square mean? lol
May 22, 2012 at 2:07 pm
haha it was supposed to be a heart
May 22, 2012 at 2:09 pm
haha that makes more sense! see you soon!
May 21, 2012 at 4:06 pm
I like the matching. And I’ve never owned a nice watch before, maybe it’s finally time? Get it….time….watch…bahahahaha.
Going to three breweries on Saturday was very fun, the hangover the night, not so much.
May 21, 2012 at 9:41 pm
*watch* out! Someone’s got some puns
May 21, 2012 at 4:39 pm
HAH! I love it!
May 21, 2012 at 5:32 pm
Those damn watches are everywhere and now I feel I need one. Silver, though. I’ll have to treat myself soon, but seeing as I’m about to buy an iphone I should probably hold off.
May 21, 2012 at 9:42 pm
I’ve been lusting for so long, I finally just treated myself. But an iPhone is also a fantastic investment
May 21, 2012 at 5:52 pm
Oh you fancy huh? Are you growing your bangs out?
May 21, 2012 at 9:43 pm
Yeah you see me bouncin, player….
And I am, I just can’t take the upkeep! Plus I get too shweaty in the summer.
May 21, 2012 at 8:07 pm

Weekends are made for late nights and fun times IMO, glad you enjoyed!! And at least now Monday has just come and gone… !
May 21, 2012 at 9:44 pm
I’m not sure it’s my best look, but it’s better than a fro!
May 21, 2012 at 10:09 pm
Your hair always looks so cute up! I especially like the spoon in your cleavage
May 22, 2012 at 11:47 am
I LOVE that watch. And I love that you matched the party decor – that picture is fantastic.
Ummm . . . I can’t talk about the best part of my weekend on the internet. That’s the kind of weekend it was.
May 22, 2012 at 9:58 pm
well feel free to email me all the nasty details
May 23, 2012 at 11:33 am
Oh . . . I will. I’m excited to share them with every single person that I can.
May 22, 2012 at 4:42 pm
Completely the same way… I had Saturday night all to myself so I watched TV and was in bed by 10. It was amazing.
May 22, 2012 at 9:58 pm
soo jealousss.
May 22, 2012 at 4:56 pm
Just found you today via Jessica/How Sweet and I’m hooked! I’ve looked back at a dozen or so previous posts and I like your random musings. It sounds like that’s a change to what you’d been doing, but I like it!

You sound kind of awesome…
