The Friday Five.

1.  I've been to the SC State Fair TWICE this week.  Ouch.  You know what that means?  TOOOOO MANY CALORIES CONSUMED.  ehhhh...what the hell!?!  Mikey and I took Collins on her first trip on Sunday afternoon/evening.   We mainly just walked around and had dinner and people watched.  Mikey and I love to do this.  A lot of people don't like the fair, but I totally LOVE it.  There is something so nostalgic about it for me, yes...even amongst the dirt, grime, grease, and 99% white t/redneck trash that you encounter.  I especially LOVE it at night. On Sunday, we left before it got dark...but Collins did get to participate in her FIRST fair ride ever.  She rode the carousel and had a BALL.  She was cracking up.  That'll be a whole other post for another day once I download all the pics.  Then, last night...my mom and I took Collins one more time.  My mom is where I get my love of the fair...and pronto pups (the best corndogs EVER, and for the record probably the ONLY time I eat a corndog all year) and fiske fries.  My dad couldn't go and Mikey had already left for Charleston...so it was just us girls.  This time, we were there at night time and little Colls LOVED all the lights and people.  Seriously.  She just kept giggling to herself the whole time.  AND Lolly took her on the carousel again.  Good times and good food, what else can you ask for?!?

2. We have a wedding in Charleston this weekend that Mikey is in.  I am super excited for a weekend in one of our favorite cities...but sad to have to leave little boo behind.  It just didn't make sense to bring her with us and try and find a babysitter, etc.  Thankful my mom is keeping her and we are waking up EARLY Sunday morning to come home and spend the day with her. 

3. Pretty sad about my gamecocks losing such a close one in LSU this past weekend, and NOW...the biggest game of the season is this coming weekend AT Florida.  HATE IT.  Playing away is HARD for everyone I think, but especially in the SEC.  The fans can make such a huge difference. 

4. I can't believe it is about to be Halloween.  We have TWO parties to attend and a night of trick or treating.  I've ordered Collins' costume, but Mikey and I have to decide on something for ourselves for the adult party.  I am so NOT creative.  Blah. 

5. My bedroom is getting closer and closer to completion.  YAY!  I've got someone making two king shams now..and then I just need two 20x20's and a bolster pillow and the bedding will be done!  I've got my drapes hung...now for just a few more accessories and a chair and it will be DONE.  Or at least until it is time to invest in new furniture:)

My fabrics.

1. Duralee aqua: euros and bed skirt

 2. Braemore gazebo cloud.  King shams.

 This is what I have to find something new of.  My SIL (the fab interior designer) found me a bunch of fabrics to choose from...but unfortunately this GORGEOUS one (Shumacher) is over $60/yard, even at her cost.  Yeah...not so much.  So I'm still searching for something to take it's place.  But, this will be the bolster pillow and a pillow for the chair.  The colors look off on the screen, but they look awesome together in person....at least in my opinion:)  I am doing the two 20x20 pillows in plain white linen-y fabric with a aqua monogram.  I cannot wait for it to all come together!

Have a good weekend!  xoxo.
