over the [four day] weekend.

she's aliiiiiiive! i've been MIA since last wednesday. sorry 'bout that.
i had a four-day vacation and the internet was the last thing on my mind.
i caught up on some much-needed sleep, had lunch with a friend, and shopped til i dropped with my mama.
it was supercalafragalisticexpealadocious.

• -thursday was just what the doctor ordered.
  -mama and i got up early and headed to okc for a day of shopping.
  -we ate at smashburger and had starbucks (twice).
  -i bought a fedora. it was a spur-of-the-moment purchase and a major score.

• -i spent friday afternoon in stillwater with alisia.
  -we ate at buffalo wild wings and talked. and talked and talked.
  -i stopped by old navy on my way home and scored these super cute and comfy pants on sale. 
  -as i'm pulling into the driveway, i notice there was a ferris wheel next to our house. totally random.

• -i spent saturday in my pj's and watched friends and the golden girls.
  -i'm not a morning person, so i get a little jealous of people who do their bible study in the am. since i woke up before noon, i decided to join all you morning people. (who cares if it was 10:30?) i must say, it was glorious. i'm considering trying to wake up earlier. (if that happens, congratulations -- you will witness a miracle!)

• -oh, sunday. my favorite day of the week. there's something about church and afternoon naps that does a soul good.
  -we started revival sunday morning. the pastor is my kind of pastor. he tells you like it is. no sugar-coating. no feel-good message. no tip-toeing. he talked about how, in dating, we tend to treat ourselves like a used car. we let others test drive us, giving them the option of keeping us or looking for something better. but that's not how God intended it to be. he also draws pictures with chalk and incorporates it into his message. i'm excited for this week!

 i added a title to my resume this weekend. you can call me chef amber. here is the recipe for my new (quick and easy) creation.

cheesy ranch potato bites:


slice a bake potato. (already cooked)
add sour cream and shredded cheese.
sprinkle ranch powder on top. (i used the hidden valley powder used to make dip)


heat and enjoy!
