In the Words of Rihanna...

Wheeeerrrrrre Haaaaaaave Yoooooouu Beeeenn…..Allllll Myyyyyy Liiiiifffee?!

Really…I suppose it should read, “Where have I been…All YOUR life?”

You guys, WHERE does the time go?  I mean, I realize I’ve been SUPER slacking on my blog but I guess I didn’t realize that July 20th was the date of my last post.

July 20!!!

How is everyone?  Have you been enjoying the Olympics?  I tell ya…the Olympics are partly to blame for my lack of caring about my blog.  At least a tiny bit.  I mean, I generally sit down and write in the evenings and to be honest, the last thing I want to do while husband has the Olympics on is write a blog post.

Anyone else having those same struggles?

Also, I’m lazy.  Obviously.

So here’s where I’m at…

I’m addicted to Instagram.  Also a reason for my lack of blogging.  I sort of feel justified for not blogging since discovering and becoming obsessed with Instagram.  I mean, I post pictures on Instagram ALL. THE. TIME.

Which reminds me…if you’re not a follower of @trippinmytrigger on Instagram…you should be.

Look me up:

@trippinmytrigger

You will not be disappointed.

Not only that…I want to follow YOU!  There is something about being able to get a glimpse of what goes on in others lives that just makes my heart want to SING.  On the top of it’s lungs!

Or maybe I’m just nosy.  Probably I’m nosy.

Oh.  But that’s what it’s all about!!

So here we go…my life over the last 2.5 weeks…according to Instagram and my iPhone.

Photo 1 (on the left) is probably one of my proudest moments.  Pretty sure husband was THRILLED with my shenanigans, too.  I accidentally dropped a grocery bag (that contained 2 bottles of wine) on HUSBAND’S GARAGE FLOOR!!  Of course, the bottle of RED was the bottle that busted.

Husband doesn’t drink.  Ever.  At all.  Oh, and he DESPISES the aroma of red wine almost as much as I DESPISE the smell of body odor.

 Once I got over the horror of wasting an ENTIRE BOTTLE OF WINE (which took a mere 5 seconds), I laughed.  HARD.

Not only did I make a GIANT mess in husband’s man cave, I managed to do it with one of his least favorite smells.  Still makes me laugh.

Photo 2 (middle) I’ve got a new obsession.  Trader Joe’s.  For some reason or another, I want to spend HOURS in that store and spend ALL of husband’s money there.  Pictured are a few of my more recent discoveries which quickly turned into favorites.

*****************************************************

Photo 3 (on the right) LaCroix Coconut Sparkling Water.  Just go get some.

I started jumping houses…

I’ll be adding to my “jumpstagram” collection.  Just you wait and see.  I’ve got serious jumps up my sleeve!

I’m back on track with my bargain shopping..

Top Left: If you’re a swimsuit collector like moi….and you don’t know about mjrsales.com…you’re missing out.  I snagged that beauty for $17 and some change WITH shipping.

What are you waiting for?!  GO CHECK THEM OUT!!

*****************************************************

Top Right: Continuing with my swimsuit obsession…this time, Target.  The suit wasn’t much of a deal since it’s a Spring 2013 teaser..I just couldn’t resist it with the $5.98 cover up I found!!!  Gaawww….I DIE!

*****************************************************

Bottom Left:  Sexy peep-toes from Ann Taylor for….wait for it…$22 and some change.  Go ahead…make faces at me through your computer screen.  I know…I suck.

*****************************************************

Bottom Right: Trina Turk for Banana Republic zebra scarf.  Hold your breath for a second….$8 and change.

Why do I not do this kind of work for a living?  I’ll never know!

Now, it’s a DARN good thing I save so much money on my shopping endeavors because this next photo is enough to make me want to vomit.

I finally did it.

How this didn’t happen to me sooner…I’ll never know.  I had the CRAPPIEST case on my phone all because I liked how sleek it looked.

Dumb.

DUMB.

D-U-M-B…..DUMB!!!

It was only a matter of time.  Thankfully husband is ULTRA understanding (even when he shouldn’t be) and he told me to go get a new one.

So I did.

First order of business after getting a new phone…

A killer phone case for Ms. Ihavethedropsies.

So far, so good.  I haven’t dropped my new phone….yet.

Obviously it’s been….warm…here in GA.  When it gets warm, I throw pool parties.

Oh yes I did.

As if YOU wouldn’t do the same thing.  Listen.  Just because I’m a little…overgrown for my sweet little niece’s swimming pool doesn’t mean that I can’t borrow it from time to time.

Pool party was complete with a white sangria…no kids allowed.

Speaking of kids…I visited my sister in Chattanooga…

I take my job as “Auntie Extraordinaire” VERY seriously.

These precious little honey bees…they LOVE their Auntie.

Can’t blame ‘em.  I’m pretty cool.

Then, yesterday I made quick trip to MN.

Mom and I ran out to get our early discounted MN State Fair tickets and Blue Ribbon Bargain Books.  T-minus 16 days until the BEST day of summer!  I can’t wait!

Then, because I got stuck in MN last night, I had to borrow some pajamas from one of my sisters.

Thank the good Lord for sisters….

and brothers…

Even if they muck up every single photo with their middle finger…because they think it’s funny.

And yes, he needs a haircut.  I think he resists haircuts because every.single.one.of.us. wants him to cut it.

Typical BABY of the family for ya.

Last but not least…I’ll leave you with a “5 randoms about me” that I posted after being tagged by someone else on Instagram.

Enjoy!
