Weekend Wrap Up : Productive

If there is one word to describe this past weekend, it's productive.

And if you know me, that's a great weekend in my books.

I managed to get a whole heck of a lot accomplished and crossed off my list these past few days and I am so happy!

Friday I ran to the mall very quickly to pick up a few Christmas gifts.

Then raced home and it was time for Catching Fire with friends!!!
We have been anxiously awaiting this movie since the second the first one ended.

Bethany may or may not have gotten us tickets approximately 2 months ago when they were first available.

It was incredible and awesome and better than I could have imagined.

I LOVED it.

Saturday I was up bright and early to run 6.5 miles with my running group.

Then I ran some errands and got my hair done...all before 12pm.

After my errands I came home to this awesome box on the porch.

 Floyd and I were both beside ourselves with the contents!! (excuse the purse and mess on the floor, as I said, we were really excited and couldn't wait to tear into our box!)

You may remember when Floyd reviewed Rachael Ray's Nutrish dog food - well they were generous enough to send some more yummy treats and bones to my sweet boy!!

They are also giving away one bag each of Nutrish Savory Bites (Floyd's favorite), Soup Bones and Soup Bones Mini to one reader! Just comment below with one thing you did this weekend.  (Winner will be announced on Wednesday)

Sunday was the most productive day of all!

I redid some of the decor in our house, hung new pictures up, did about 46 loads of laundry and whipped up some Christmas crafts.  Oh, and a trip to Target, of course! (P.s. the long sleeve Target tees are on sale this week for $6.  I would go stock up if I were you- they are my favorite!) 

For dinner we had our neighbors over for Mister's roast and mashed potatoes - so delicious.  We've started trading houses for Sunday night dinner lately and it's been such a great and delicious end to the weekend. 

Hooray for a short week!!

All Sorts of Random

Hiiiya.

I am all over the board today so try to hang with me.

First up I have my Random Wednesday link up with Shanna (on a Thursday mind you) and my Saw It Pinned It Did It link up with Katie and Steph.

First up my Random Wednesday

 1. This outfit. I randomly threw it together the other morning and actually liked the way it turned out.

{Cardi: Gap, Top: Old Navy, Jeans: JCPenny, Boots: Steve Madden}

What I did not like was when I went to go pose for these shots I fell, stumbled and knocked 2 frames off the wall.

I'll spare you the picture that Mister caught.

2. I heard the TERRIBLE news yesterday that they aren't bringing the Target lady back this year.

Excuse me.

No one asked me about this.

I LOOOOVE the Target lady.

I even had her 'Fa La La La' song as my ringtone last Christmas.

I may start a petition, who's with me?

3. I caught Floyd chomping on a bottle of acrylic paint the other day.
Although he did have enough sense to choose the glittery champagne color, everyone needs some glitter in their life.
Apparently he's jealous of all the DIYing I've been doing and that he hasn't been in on the action.

And now for Saw It Pinned It Do It

 kind of in reverse this week.
I was perusing Pinterest for more outfits to wear my beloved red jeans with and came across the outfits below solidifying the fact that you can wear red and khaki/tan together.

 Phew.
It wasn't just early morning delirium.

So to recap this week I Did It Saw It Pinned It.
Sorry girls...I broke the rules.

4. Don't forget about the Glamour Me Jewels giveaway
5. The Holiday Blog Hop is still going on...link up here!
6. I've already started (and been adding to) my Christmas/Birthday wish list.
Is it too early?!
7. Is that enough random for you?!
Come back tomorrow for an all new Floyd's Friends!

Fridays with Floyd: Necessary

I was perusing Target the other night 

and fell in love with their new 'Shops'.

Have you guys seen them yet??

If not, you are in for a treat.

Adorableness all around!

 I think my favorite was definitely 

Polka Dog Bakery

I came across these bowls 

 and decided that they were a necessary investment for Floyd.

I mean, what doggie doesn't want new bowls every once and a while??

(plus the accent color in our house is orange...)

Floyd seems to approve of his new bowls

annnd, his ears don't get wet.

Major bonus points in Floyd's world

Happy Weekend friends

a very special
Happy Mother's Day 

to all of the moms out there!!

(doggie moms included!)

2 + 2 = Love

Target + a basset hound = Sarah dream world.  Enjoy!

Bullseye

Anyone close to me knows that I LOVE Target. I'm talking an obsessed type of love.  So much, in fact, I would say that I am there every 48 to 72 hours, even if it is just to look around.  The whole store makes me happy and lifts my mood.  I even wrote a paper in college about my love for Target.  I also LOVE coupons and saving money.  Whenever there rises an opportunity to coupon at Target, my heart goes pitter patter. 

I typically venture to Target at least every Friday on my day off to pick up any essentials we may be out of, low on or that I have a coupon for. 

One (of the many) reasons I love Target is because you can print Target coupons off their site and use them in conjunction with manufacturer coupons = double savings!!! Check out the Target coupon site here. Some of the coupons on their site are manufacturer coupons and not Target coupons.  My only qualm with this system is that you do not know if the coupon you select is a store or manufacturer until you print it out.  Other than that, being able to use these two types of coupons together can really create some great deals. 

Last Friday I ventured to Target (per usual) to stock up on a few items in preparation for our guests coming.  It was an extremely successful trip! I purchased everything you see below for $23.03 oop (out of pocket).  The total price before coupons was $41.12.  Sans the water and nail polish remover, I had a coupon for every item I bought. 

One of the best deals I was able to conduct was the Tositos deal.  I had heard a lot about this deal in blogland and I was very happy to be able to score it myself.  The deal consisted of 2 bags of Tositos: Artisan Recipe (p.s. these are REALLY good), 1 jar of salsa, and 1 Pepsi 2 liter for $4.50! The other great deal I scored was with the Biore products.  I had a coupon for buy Biore pore strips, get a face cleanser free.  I was planning on doing this deal anyway but the deal became even sweeter when I went to pick up the products from the shelf.  The cleanser I chose had a $3 off coupon hanging on the bottle! So in the end, I got Biore pore strips ($5.99) and the face cleanser ($5.99) for $2.99!!

Have you scored any great deals lately?
