Does blogging count as working over a holiday weekend?
I couldn’t wait to share a few highlights! In case it does count as working, I’ll play it safe and keep this one short. Literally.
1. Just when you thought it couldn’t get shorter…
I got my hair cut again.
I HAD to do it to prepare for Argentina. 🙂
Karen @ Lava Hair Studio rocks my world. She’s my longest relationship – we’ve been together nearly 5 years.
2. My sister isn’t the only artist in the family.
Sort of.
Heather invited me to one of those drink-and-paint places. I was skeptical (I’m NOT artistic), but it was SO much fun! If you have one in your area, I’d recommend trying it out for a fun girls night.
Thank you so much for a great evening Just for Giggles!
3. There was a first:
I ordered a seafood entrée for the first time in a restaurant.
One of my best friends and I met for dinner at a local spot called Haven. It was a great meal! We split some apps and a seafood entrée: a white grouper with zucchini, pole beans, cranberry beans, and a carrot-fennel salad.
4. Quality pool time.
Complete with a Todd-jito: strawberries, mint, vodka, limoncello, and a bit of powdered sugar and ice. Tasty.
Check out the bottom pic. Doesn’t the water fountain thing make it look like the guy is peeing?! Yes, I’m that mature.
5. Best. Yogurt. Ever.
The Yogurt Tap in Decatur, GA is the BEST fro-yo.
I’d tap that.
It’s local, made fresh in the store from in-season fruits, and they are now offering a dairy-free almond butter flavor. If you’re in ATL and haven’t tried it… you don’t know what you’re missing.
A holiday weekend and an ACL tear doesn’t mean I’m taking a holiday from working out!
Yesterday began with a soon-to-be disclosed workout designed especially for this blog by Lindsay. It’s going up as a guest post during my travels next week.

I’m going to state the obvious: I vote every weekend be 3 days long.
How has your long weekend been? Did you workout?
Do you still laugh at juvenile things? I don’t think I’m growing out of it.
Holy crap is that your sister?? Her voice is AMAZING!! Could listen to her all day! Your hair looks awesome as always, I love it short short!
Thank you! We are really proud of her. 🙂
LOVING the new haircut on you, Laura- looks great :)! Sounds like a fun (and delicious weekend)! I need a Yogurt Tap to open up here…is there anything better than ALMOND BUTTER flavored yogurt- 2 of my favorite things in one! Also hilarious fro yo caption! Enjoy the rest of your time off!
Thanks!!! That almond butter is a pretty epic flavor. 🙂
Looks like an amazing weekend so far and LOVE your hair! I’m totally loving seafood right now – I can’t get enough!
Thank you so much! I don’t know who took over my body, but I’m the same way with seafood!
Your hair is so dang cute – you are beautiful!
You are so sweet. Thank you!!!
That haircut! I love it!
Also: Drinking-wine-and-painting would likely end with me covered in paint. Hilarity!
That’s sort of what I thought would happen! 😉
loving the haircut! Very cool!!
Sorry to hear about the ACL tear – I was under the impression you are supposed to be immobile when it tears. Good for you though for not giving up on working out!
I was too! Apparently there are varying degrees.
DAIRY FREE ALMOND BUTTER FLAVOR!? What the WHAT? I am moving to Georgia STAT!
LOL! It is pretty awesome. 🙂
Love this haircut!
I love the haircut sweetie 🙂 I also love that you ordered seafood for the very first time! WOW! Stepping out of your box!? What made you do it!? 🙂
I’d tried a bunch at the F&W Festival and when the server was describing the specials it really just jumped out at me. I’m so glad I tried it!
woohoo for workouts!
Your new haircut is so cute! I’ve heard of that place in Decatur but didn’t know about that AMAZING sounding flavor…it’s definitely on my list now! 🙂
Let me know what you think if you try it. The strawberry flavor is out of this world too. 🙂
Your hair looks awesome and I have to try that flavor of yogurt. Yum. I agree; the Yogurt Tap is really good.
Loveeeee the hair Laura, you look gorgeous with the even shorter cut 🙂 Great days of workouts too!
Your hair looks great! It looks like you had a fun weekend.
LOVE the new do, girly! I need to cut mine shorter. It’s too long for humidity and is getting fro-tastic.
Also, glad to see you’re still hitting it hard. Take care of that knee while you’re at it!
knee? what knee? LOL!
Your hair looks great! Hope you had a fantastic week, Laura! 🙂
Painting and pool time sounds good to me! How are you still running 2 mi with a torn ACL? You crazy foo’ – haha. I’m totally checking out those other workouts on Pinterest though, so thanks for linking up!
Haha! A) I am a little crazy and B) it doesn’t hurt badly until I hit about 3 now. I’m going MUCH slower (adding about 1:30-2 mins to each mile). The Dr. said it starts hurting when I quads get tired and I depend on the knees more.
You rock short hair better than anyone I know. So cute.
That is such a huge compliment. This is definitely the shortest I’ve ever gone! Thank you!!
Definitely still laugh at juvenile things. 😀 And I only worked out this weekend if you count lots of walking and dancing… Your new do is super cute!! Can’t wait to see you tonight (praying the rain holds off!)
Walking and dancing totally counts!!!
It’s nice a sunny now. And hot. 🙂
I’ve been thinking about doing one of the “sip and stroke” painting classes! Thanks, glad to know they’re fun! I have no artistic talent! Also, love the hair!
