I mean, is there anything worse than a Monday? Yes, actually there are a lot of things that are much worse, but Mondays are certainly not on the top of my list of favorite things and if I could, I'd wear this shirt to work every Monday. Unfortunately, I think I'd be sent home immediately.
I stole this pic from my girl K_Stets from Only In Vegas
If you follow me on Instagram (@TheBargainBlonde), then sorry for the replay because I pretty much post my every move on there. I actually think I've developed a bit of an Instagram addiction and I am seriously considering starting a Insta-detox. In fact, my friend Beth tweeted me this picture below last week and I could not stop laughing. This is so me.

| Except insert Bear in place of the cat. |
Exhibit A:
 |
| Bear and my Subway sandwich Friday night. |
Friday night I actually did nothing. Well, I fell asleep after work and slept until 10 p.m. if that counts as something. Those "you can sleep when your dead" folks have never had a good nap. I love me some naps.
Saturday I woke up refreshed and a Stella and Dot delivery was sitting on my porch.

| Left to right: Leona Pendant (on sale) / Signature Clover Necklace (as seen in Cosmopolitan) / Capri Chandelier Earrings (as seen on Emily Maynard) / Foundation Bracelet Red / Foundation Bracelet Turquoise |
 |
| Saturday morning I took Bear to the dog park and then cleaned my house. Here he is passed out after running around in 100 degree temps / My Emi-Jay Hair tie, which def works and did not leave creases in my hair. |
 |
| Saturday I went to dinner at an Italian restaurant called Patrizios with a few girls. I wore my new clover necklace and definitely splurged and had Eggplant Parm, my fave. |
Sunday my friend Kathryn and her husband had a BBQ at their house, so I made cupcakes to bring. Her favorite colors are orange and green, so orange and green cupcakes she received.
Snaps from the BBQ:

They smoked ribs and brisket. Oh my word, the meat was sooo good. They season their meat with a dry rub that they created and now sell. It's called Chimy's Rub that they named after their pup. All of our friends are addicted to it, and if you want to try it out, just use the "contact us" link on their Web site and e-mail Kathryn telling her The Bargain Blonde told you to try their rub. She can give you pricing.
That about sums up my weekend. How was yours?
p.s. Tomorrow I'm posting the DIY video that you voted on a few weeks ago! Get excited.
p.p.s. Linking up with the ladies of Weekend Update!
