Classy Southern Texan

 
 
Today, I am joining Mel, Sheaffer and Shay for What's Up Wednesday, where I answer a series of questions. I will be sharing a random assortment of things that are up in my life. Let's get to it....

 

1) What We're Eating This Week...

I recently got an INSTAPOT. I have been making hard boiled eggs in it as a test. OMG 7 minutes and they are done. The INSTAPOT is life changing in this way. I made egg salad for dinner last night and it was super yummy. I think the whole process took me 10 minutes MAX.
 
I have been back to healthy eating with oatmeal, and healthy options.
 
More to come on the INSTAPOT soon.
 
I tried something similar to the TYSON mix bowl and am excited to try the pot roast soon!
 

 
 

2) What I'm Reminiscing About...

Our recent ski trip and all the snow....I had fun on the slopes. Lots of yummy food, wine and time with the hubby! Already looking forward to our next trip in May.
 


 

3) What I'm Loving...

The new Spring collection of Stella and Dot launches soon and I am loving all the fun blues and greens! This collection makes me want to pack a getaway bag and get to the BEACH!
 

 

4) What We've Been Up To...

Last night I went with friends to see Fifty Shades Freed. There are so many fun movies out right now I want to see.
 
Peter Rabbit
The Greatest Showman
Blank Panther

5) What I'm Dreading...

Not so much dreading but I am over all this RAIN! It literally has been raining nonstop for a week. It is either pouring, sprinkling or drizzling. If it stops it is then just sooo humid!

6) What I'm Working On....

My grandmother's 85th birthday is Friday. I have been gathering photos of her throughout the years. All of her family and girlfriends wrote her little notes and it is funny to read them.
 
One from my great aunt recalls when my great aunt was little she pulled up all my grandmother's flowers she was 4-5 years old and my grandfather promptly spanked her. He knew how important those flowers were to my grandmother and she just went and destroyed them.

7) What I'm Excited About...

Celebrating my Grandmother's birthday! Surprising her with family and friends on Friday!

8) What I'm Watching/Reading...

I currently just finished The Antelope in the Living Room by Melanie Shankle. It was a cute little book about marriage. Now I am reading the Last Mrs. Parrish, which is a great suspense/thriller.

9) What I'm Listening To....

Grey's Anatomy, This is Us, The Crown
 
I am not a huge music person, specifically listen to a certain genre of music, artist etc. However, I have been catching up on shows on Netflix.
 
What should I add to my list?

10) What I'm Wearing...

I am loving this fun scarf and earrings!

11) What I'm Doing this Weekend...

Spending time with my grandmother for her birthday and seeing my husband. He has been back in Shreveport this week.

12) What I'm Looking Forward to Next Month...

Warmer temperatures, getting reading for Easter and SPRING.

13) What Else is New...

Nothing really....we are hosting a baby shower next week at the house. How cute is this theme? 'Let's TACO bout that baby"

14) BONUS...What is your favorite place to travel for Spring Break?

 I enjoy skiing during Spring Break and saving the Beach for summer. My mom is off to Seaside, FL this week with girlfriends and I am so jealous.

Yesterday (Tuesday) my mom, Aunt and I went to the annual Margarita Sale at Julian Gold in Austin, TX. This is something we look forward to yearly. They serve you margaritas while you shop! #Mexican #oleole

I got 2 really cute tops one Vince and one Hale Bob one of my favorite resort wear brands!

 
We ran into several of my Mom's friends also shopping the sale which was sooo much fun!

Next, we went to Barton Creek Mall and went to Nordstorm...hello anniversary sale! #nsale

I love love love the Zella athletic brand and it only goes on sale during their annual anniversary sale. I got this super cute sweater for when it cools down.

 
I have been looking for a plaid top for a while...so I got this one and can't wait to wear with skinny jeans and booties when it gets cooler. Come on FALL!

 
I also got some new bras...I think I have had my current ones about 5 years! #wow After seeing Bad Mom's this weekend all I could think was uh please no MOM bra lol!

 
Next, we headed to my favorite place to shop in Austin the Domain! They have lots of yummy restaurants, and great shopping! Neiman Marcus, Vineyard Vines, JCrew, Lilly Pulitzer, Tory Burch and Kendra Scott just to name a few.

We ate lunch at the yummy North! They have great salads, pizza and Italian pastas. I love their Zuppa chips also for an appetizer and light snack.


Then we went shopping!!! I went into Lilly, because a girl has to have a new Lilly dress for her 30th birthday right?!?! Which one did I choose? Check back this weekend for an update.

Whew what a weekend it was.....Hello August and Birthday Month

 



Friday morning I worked at my gym Sleek Physique...I love all the fun classes we have. Then I ran errands and prepared for a weekend away. But before, we left Friday evening we had tickets to Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood. 3 years ago I saw Garth in Vegas for my mom's 60th birthday and it is hands down the best concert I have ever been to in my life. #friendsinlowplaces

My husband had never seen Garth so when he announced he was coming to Bossier City about a 20 minute drive from us we decided to go. We had floor seats and I have to say Garth is an entertainer and the concert was once again amazing. We invited my boss and one of her friends to join us also.

 
 

 
Saturday morning I did some errands and prepared for a week long trip to TX. We are going to see my family for my birthday week.
 
 
First, we did a surprise trip to Dallas to do some shopping. I have been wanting a purse for a while. My husband tricked me and said we were going to Dallas for him to do some work. :-) Instead, we went to Neimans at Northpark and I got the purse of my dreams!! :-) #oneveryhappygirl
 
 
Then we headed onwards to Waco, home of our Baylor Bears....my husband and I both graduated from here. We just had a quick dinner at my husband's favorite SUBWAY lol. Then continued on to see my parents in Killeen.
 
Yesterday, I went to see Bad Moms with my grandmother and mom. It was such a FUNNY movie.
 
 
 
I am looking forward to a great week at home with my family and celebrating my 30th on Friday.
 
What did you do this weekend? What has been your favorite concert you have ever been to? Have you seen Bad Moms? If so, what did you think?
 
Have a great week everyone!
 
XO
