What a wonderful weekend!

I've been needing a really great weekend away with my hubby.  Its been a while since we had a nice get away.   So our NASCAR weekend this weekend was so nice.   We were not really that far away from home, and I know most people would NOT think going to 2 NASCAR races sounds like a fun time, but it is for us. 

We spent the weekend in a hotel,  got up and ate breakfast at Waffle House and went off to the races!   The XFinity race was a little boring until the last few laps!  The Monster Energy race, great racing, some good wrecks, one really shitty thing that happened to my hubby's favorite driver, and a good finish.

Of course, this means I've sat WAY to much, ate WAY to much, and now feel a little bloated.  But tomorrow things will start going back to normal.  We go home, and I go off to some training for my hospital job.  And then I'll workout!  I need to.

I did pick up a couple beauty things.  One was something I've wanted for MONTHS!  The Anastasia of Beverly Hills Moon Child highlight palette.

Its so pretty!  I can't wait to start using it.
I also got a new beauty blender, and some eye liner cause I wear it more often in the fall/winter and mine is getting well, dried out. 
I also got some stuff from Bath and Body Works. I needed more of that like I need a hole in my head, but whatever lol.  I'll smell nice at least.

Hubby also splurged on himself getting some coins. He collects them, and got a mess of Wheat pennies which he can't wait to sort, and other old coins.  I'm glad we were both able to pick up a few things for ourselves.

Going back to reality kind of sucks.  Maybe we can win the lottery and we can do this thing more often.  I'd pay my kids lots of money to pet sit for us while we go off on our weekend vacations.  Each one could take turns pet sitting and we'd pay them a nice chunk of money for their trouble.

I'm gonna be an empty nester!

And while I'm mostly ok about it, there is a weird feeling about thinking that all my kids will be mostly gone.   Our youngest child has been going to community collage nearby just driving back and forth, but she's planning on transferring to another one, and moving up there, meaning  she'd be gone most of the time. 

Feels a little, um, weird, thinking about the last of my kids moving away.  When the oldest did, it was weird, but I had 2 others at home, so it was ok.  When our middle girl left to go off to collage,  it was again, weird, but our youngest was still home so I got over it.

But our "baby"  is leaving. That's just weird.  To not having any kids at home.    Its something we've been working towards for a while, raising healthy adults that are confident to be out on their own.    But then reality hits, and for the first time in nearly 25 years, we won't have any kids at home.   Oh, the two younger ones will be home some for holidays etc, but well, they are moving on to the next chapter in their lives.  Guess we will too.

Now, if I could just win the lottery so I could quit working, or maybe way cut back to like one night a work that would be great. Then we could travel, go see interesting things, and be together.  That would be really awesome.

Guess I need to start saving up more money and then maybe we could do just that lol.

So many things I don't want to buy

And I mean so many beauty things I don't want to buy.  I know some people think I buy everything out there, but really, there are so many things out or coming out that I have no interest in.  Pretty much all the Too Faced holiday stuff, I have no desire for.  Same with a few Tarte things that are around for the holidays.  Just nope.  And there is some Natasha Denona stuff I just don't want.   Just don't want to get it.    I just want to use what I've already got for the most part.   Oh, there is one or two things I kind of want but well,  right now, there isn't much coming out that makes me go "OMG I NEED THIS'

So I'm just going to either save up that money, or spend it on other things like clothes, or fitness stuff.  Maybe new boots.    I don't know.  Maybe just save it up and buy something really big like the new refrigerator or a new laptop.   I have a really nice fridge that I want actually a couple of them.  Maybe need to do some comparison shopping.  Heck, if I quit buying makeup for a few months, I could about afford a really nice new fridge.  

Here are a couple ones I think would be great:

I love how I can write my grocery list right on that front panel.  Nice!

Love that center pull out for fruits and veggies.   Now, if I could just put that center pull out on the Samsung with that front panel, I'd be set.

So maybe I will just start saving up for a new fridge.   Just cut back a little on the makeup and fitness stuff, put a couple hundred in savings a month and I'd have one in to time at all!
