Guess who's not going to sleep tonight!?

THIS GIRL.

When your boyfriend is on a boat in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, you don't tend to sleep well.

They are doing really great though!!

They are well over halfway there and making really great time!

He called me around 4pm and said everything was going well. He couldn't hear me very well but I was still glad to hear his voice.

Anywho...

You probably are wondering

"What does one do while her b/f is in the Atlantic Ocean?"

Well I go shopping.

oops

It's not like I could just sit at home in front of the computer watching that little red dot update every 10 minutes. Talk about nerve-racking!

Soooo last night I might or might not have went to Target.

I got these amazeballs tank-tops that I practically live in.

I freakin love these tanks. They were on sale for $7 bones.

So I watch beauty gurus on YouTube and found this nifty dupe for primer.

Yup. "Intimate Care" crap on muh face!

I guess it has the same ingredients as these $25 primers at Sephora.

For $6 bucks, I'll give it a shot!

Then I got one of these:

For $21.25.

What?

I didn't know they went on sale either.

Then I got Ty's sister a pair of these bad boys for her birfday.

I got a pair last week and wore them to dinner last night and she fell in love.

Clearance! $15 bucks ladies!!

I got this adorable earring/necklace set. I really only liked it for the earrings but the necklace grew on me and I really like it, too.

$2.98 or something!?

After lunch today I made the awful decision to go to the mall...

on the Missouri Tax Free weekend...

when everyone and their dog/baby/grandma/sister goes shopping.

It was frigging nuts in there.

I wandered in to Charlotte Russe and got this blouse.

It's sheer, hot pink, and really long. It reminds me of something Kourtney Kardashian would wear. I plan on pairing it with some black skinny jeans. I'm excited.

*Disregard our "liquor cabinet"... we really are not alcoholics, I swear. We just collect massive amounts of alcohol after poker runs. We stock the boat and then always end up with leftovers that I refuse to throw away.

Then I went to my favorite store ever, TJ Maxx. It was nuts in there and of course I was being extremely selective so all I found was this adorable white ceramic mug that has a teal inside. It's very similar to this one:

I plan on trying that crafty project floating around Pinterest where you write on a ceramic mug with a Sharpie and then bake it... supposed to make it permanent and stuff.

It was on clearance for a dillar.

Of course I wandered all over that dang store and found NOTHING. I was not about to stand in line for 15 minutes for a $1.00 mug sooooo I picked out some fancy wrapping paper. I love wrapping paper and wrapping gifts. After wrapping Neely's birthday gifts I realized I need something that is appropriate for birthdays and not Christmasy.

After my five dollar splurge at TJ, I went to Macy's. I was on a mission to form a birthday wishlist so I was perfume shopping. I picked out a few goodies like BCBG, DKNY Be Delicious, and Dolce & Gabbana. They smell yummy.

In my attempt to leave Macy's, I saw this massive table loaded with purses that said CLEARANCE. Damnitall, I had to go look!

Then it happened. I found this beauty.

This bad boy is a hot pink, quilted, leather, crossbody, shoulder bag.

I am in love.

It is the most awesome color pink!

It reminds me of Chanel.

And considering it was clearance and then another 20% off, I was even more in love. I was going to stick her on my birthday list but when I looked around it was the last one.

I couldn't let her go!!

Got her for less than $30 bucks!!

Yes. I'm that girl that distracted herself by going shopping. Could have been worse, I guess.

Now I am going to lay in bed, watch the Olympics, and wait for Tyson to call!

Nighty night y'all!

Awesome night for US Olympics!!!

Seriously...

Amazing...

If you haven't been watching the Olympics... well... join the club. I haven't either. The boyfriend records them all day then stays up all night watching the events in fast-forward. I can usually stay awake for about 10 minutes.

Today I got a little more in to it...

We woke up late today so I watched a little bit of men's volleyball...

Then I needed a nap today so I watched a little swimming and more volleyball.

We went to dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings and saw part of the swimming competition... which means I got to witness Michael Phelps completely BOMB the 200 butterfly, the race he has won gold medals in for the past two Summer Olympics. Well when I say bomb, I mean he got silver. I might have been calling him a lousy piece of shit.

After dinner I landed my happy ass in the living room to watch gymnastics.

and got to see this...

Russia was in first place and we were the only team left to do our floor routine. Aly was the last one to perform and she only needed like a 10-something out of 16.

Before she even finished her routine, she was crying. She knew she stuck her landings which meant the they got the gold!!

The ladies were very gracious winners!!

Incredible sight to see!!

Then I got to watch the relay that would give Michael Phelps his 19th medal.

I say this like I was there or something. Afterall, watching all of this on a 120" screen helps...

I was pretty pissed to see him get silver in his previous race. I mean... I hold our Olympic athletes to the highest of standards!!!

So now Michael Phelps is the most decorated Olympian of all time. 15 Golds, 2 Silvers, and 2 Bronze... and he still has three races that could land him three more medals!

Now that I have given my Olympic Commentary I will shut up.

But it was pretty awesome...
