And a Happy Hump Day to You


Remember when we [Catie & I] stopped at CLR-MNSTR over in St. Louis that day on our return route from City Museum? Well.... I decided today would be an ideal day to sport one of the cute finds I brought home that day. I'm not typically an OOTD type of person, but for all intensive Instagram purposes, I was today. Haha. 
ootd? sure. &&thank you, clr-mnstr!
I was on an instagram kick today and thought I would share with the class the lunch which I'm sure would make my mother cringe if she knew it was the only thing I consumed during the lunch hour. I don't care; these are in fact a few of my favorite things, and I'll sacrifice one day of healthy living to do some enjoying. (:

the fantasy lunch of my inner kid self... haha
Back at home, Sydni and I wrapped up some of our last-minute touches to Valentines Day cards & gifts; I got a text earlier in the day from Mo, wanting to stop by for a few minutes after church to see us. She didn't stay long, but we did get to meet little baby Natalie for the first time!! Sydni loves babies, so it was quite the treat for her to see another one so little. 
baby natalie!!
Tomorrow is the BIG BAD VALENTINES DAY..... or Singles Awareness Day... whichever you prefer. Personally, I don't get too hyped about VDay, but to each his own (: It's bed time for us.

STL With Catie: Day 2

After our outing last night, the whole clan spent the night on various surfaces around my house. Rob had to take off early for an appointment, but the girls were lucky enough to get breakfast once we were all somewhat alive.
eggs + potatoes + strawberries = yum (:
Ali had to take off for a few hours, too, so Catie and I put ourselves together and made our way to the MetroLink to tote ourselves off into St. Louis. I had promised her a visit to the City Museum, so with that as our primary destination, we trekked through downtown St. Louis past some of the other monumental spots on the way. 
just a couple of metro riders.. no biggie ;)
As I expected, the City Museum proved to be just as fun as it usually is, especially with one of your best friends there to enjoy it with you. We voted to come back again in the summer when the rooftop is open.

... don't jude ;)
We had a blast. Catie even ran into a lady with whom she played back in her day with the Cincinnati Orchestra. Pretty stinkin' random, but proving again that the world is a lot smaller than we give it credit sometimes. Haha.
On our way back to the metro, we happened by CLR-MNSTR downtown, and ventured in. GOOD CALL! It's a new little boutique that just happened to be reasonably-priced, and pretty awesome at that. Catie and I both snagged up some new gear, which I'm sure you'll see featured here sometime in the near future. haha.

Needless to say, we were spent by the time we got back to Belleville on the Metro. Both Ali and Rob had made their ways back to the house by the time we rolled in; the four of us piled onto the couch and ended up asleep to a background of The Hunger Games.

... Insert Nap...

And then.................. it was full force party mode. We got ready and headed over to McGurk's in STL [duh, of course I would take my two Gingers there!] for dinner. It was amazing.
mcgurk's. perfect for my little ginger loves! lol..
From there, we stopped off at Broadway Oyster Bar for a little bit, then made our way down to The Landing to meet up with Kyle and a few others. That part got a little outta control. I promise.

me & my lovely gingers! ♥ ♥
cegg & dren... some things don't chage ;)
hey hey hey
All was going well until Ali decided to bust out an ink pen.... Womp womp womp... We are still trying to figure out how Ali escaped unscathed while the rest of us walked out covered in Pitch Perfect quotes, fortune cookie tidbits, and statements about all things Asian. Hahaha. I love 'em.

ink pens + creative people + arm canvasses + liquid encouragement..
= not a great idea.

All in all, a successful night. This is of course backdated, but we made it home safe and sound and that... is... that. (: Good friends... better night. Love.
