Flashback to Discovery Zone

I'm linking up with SweetBef for Flashback Fridays!One of my favorite places to spend my time in the 3rd and 4th grades was Discovery Zone! If you never went to DZ, you seriously missed out. It was a great place to play with your friends. You could just run around and do all sorts of fun things as seen in the commercial. Discovery Zone was so cool, it was even on an episode of The Baby Sitters Club!One of the best places within DZ was the ball pit. You could just fall into it and feel no pain. There were many ball fights in the pit. Another fun thing at DZ was this kinda roller slide thing....

Monday Musings

Here we are again at Monday, the least favorite day of the week. I had a very uneventful weekend which I actually was glad about. I had nothing scheduled so I could just relax and take it easy. On Saturday, I went to this new cupcake shop because I had bought a Living Social deal ($20 for $10). With that deal, we were able to buy 6 normal sized cupcakes, each was $3.25. They were alright but definitely not worth that much for its size. I had the Caribbean cupcake which was banana and pineapple. It smelled so tropical and made me feel like I was in Hawaii. Saturday night I stayed in and watched...

Wee Bit Wednesday

It feels like it's been forever since I last blogged. With the whole blogger issue last week I haven't posted really since then. I've been so tired this week that I am exhausted when I get home so I haven't even turned on my computer after work. But I had some down time today and thought I would link up with Leigh Ashley for Wee Bit Wednesday. {one} do you watch the history channel? if so, what’s your favorite program? I watch it but not on a regular basis. I usually just watch certain specials that they have on topics I like such as the Freemasons, Mayan history, and U.S. Presidents. One...

What I'm Loving Wednesday

I'm linking up for What I'm Loving Wednesday hosted by Jaime. I'm loving my newly decorated desk at work. (Sorry for the low quality BB pictures)I have two screens with a fun bright Lilly background! Twitter is up on the screen that only I can see if you walk into my office so I can close it quickly if I need to.  Pencil holders and the flower arrangement I made. My personalized mousepad from Monogram Marketplace. Thanks for your help on deciding which one I should get! I'm loving that I am going to see Something Borrowed tonight. I'm loving that I found the Lilly Pulitzer Animal Crackers...

Listen Up 21 Year Old Jessica

Note: This was originally posted on Thursday but due to the Blogger issues it went back into my draft posts so I am posting it again. Five years ago today I graduated with my first degree and if I could go back and tell my 21 year old self some things this is what I would say… -The next few months are going to be a lot of work. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t understand everything at first; study more (at Leavey library in the basement since it is where everybody else is studying  and especially because it will get way too hot in your apartment and you won’t want to do anything if...

How many is too many?

This past week I received two different card card offers in the mail which were amazing. The average credit cardholder has 3.5 credit cards (I think it's ridiculous when there are .5 in things that can't be halved.). I have 5 credit cards right now and I really want the two new cards I got offers for this week because they have such good rates but I don't want to get rid of any of the cards I have now because the only one I would get rid of I have had for a long time and it is good to have cards open that you have had for a while. I got to thinking about credit cards and how many is...

I hope everybody had a nice weekend celebrating Mother's Day. Saturday afternoon I took my mom to a mother-daughter tea at the Lafayette Park Hotel. This hotel is one of my favorite places; it is so pretty (ever since I was younger I have always wanted to have my wedding there). I unfortunately forgot my camera at home. :( But we both opted for the Mighty Leaf Orange Dulce tea which was so yummy. I don't normally add sugar to my tea but since they had these fun sugar cubes on the table I decided to add one and it made it taste really good. We feasted on finger sandwiches, scones, and petit...

A New Addition to my Bookshelf

Last night I finished my 4th book of the year (I'm on track with my goal of 12 for the year). I read Something Borrowed since the movie comes out today and I love comparing books to their movie counterparts. I really enjoyed the book and am eager to read Something Blue. Hopefully the movie doesn't disappoint. I am going to wait to read Something Blue though because there is another book I have been waiting to read. That book is Murder on the Boulevard written by the fabulous Kori who is the author of the blog Blonde Episodes! I am really excited for the book. It is set in 1950s L.A and it is...

Weekend Report

Yes it is Tuesday but I thought I would recap my weekend activities. Friday night I got home and was tired from my 4 hours of sleep I got before and after watching the Royal Wedding. (I slept 2.5 hours before it started and 1.5 hours after it ended). When I got home of course I had to recap the entire thing for my sister and proceed to watch E!, Access Hollywood, and Entertainment Tonight for their recaps. Then I started watching 20/20 and Dateline's Royal Wedding reviews. I tried to make it up to watch Blue Bloods at 10 but I just couldn't last (I know I'm so old). Saturday, my sister...
