random week rewind

Man...what a week!  Things have been a lil stressful. Let me have a lil pity party for just a quick minute. Hey, it's my blog and I'll cry if I want to.

I developed some major sinus/allergy crud causing me to have an Eeyore cloud over me all week.

Due to the fact that I felt like my head was going to explode at any moment, I have not been to the gym once this week. Me = major fatty/couch potato. I have had ice cream every night this week a few times this week. I am justifying it because of my achy throat.

Work has been craaaazzzzzynesss, and it was only a 4 day work week for me. How did that happen?

On top of all that yuck...I am SO UPSET over the verdict of the Casey Anthony Trial or as Nancy Grace refers to her as "Tot MOM." I have been glued to the coverage and I was crushed when I heard the jury's verdict at work Tuesday. Very disappointing!  I think it just added to the gloomy cloud. I still can't turn it off the television. I think in the back of my mind I think there is going to be a "breaking news" caption to pop up saying she is guilty. Only in Whitney's world huh? stupid reasonable doubt and lack of DNA at the crime scene. #major suck!

ok, ok, ok...enough of the gloom...let's shine some sunshine on this post.

Well I do confess. I am in love.....with the Duchess of Cambridge aka Kate Middleton. This girl does no wrong in my book. She makes it all look so timeless, effortless, and of course fabulous. Rumor on the street is that she doesn't even have a stylist. This is a DIY gal and I adore it.  I have the biggest girl crush on her....it may be bigger than the one I used to have on Prince William at age 15.

Isn't she just beautiful?

We are enjoying the entry way shelf we got from Pottery Barn. It is the top shelf with the baskets and hooks in the photo below. Super cute.

 I started putting together one of the guest rooms...also known as Bailey's bedroom. Bailey always starts the night off in his bed that lays right next to my side of the bed. However, by the end of the night....this is what happens....

He gets under the cover himself...no help from me...swear!

Needles to say, Bailey's bedroom hasn't had a lot of tender loving care. I also don't have the heart to take it away from him. I may be singing a different tune when I put our new bedding on the bed we scored at the 4th of July sale at Macy's. Maybe I will leave the bedding off and he can sleep in his own set of sheets till we have guests. Yes, my 4 legged child has his own set of sheets. Don't judge me hehe. Moving on... here are a few sneak peaks of the work in progress.

I am spending Friday night in with the doggies...catching up on our mindless summer TV, including the premier of Big Brother season 13, and eating take out (i promise I am gonna make it the gym tomorrow). The weekend is wide open and with no major plans...which I am stoked about. I really look forward to the weekends that aren't packed and consist of doing whatever the heck I wanna do. I plan on trying to get in some shopping tomorrow for the house and maybe some time by the pool.

Happy Friday friends! Hope you have fantastic weekend!
