Self~compassion Day

For my birthday I am treating myself to a Self~indulgence day.  First a full set of nails and a much needed pedi. I always use Jon at Uptown nails.  Have been going to him for years.  

His sweet wife always does a great job on my toes. 

Next on my list was a new boutique called Inside & Out. Been wanting to go since they opened. Finally made time to visit. I should add it’s a bit on the pricey side but they have so much to see. 

The way they have it set up is really nice and pleasing to the eyes. 

Royes is inside as well. I could not resist the iced bourbon caramel coffee. It was really good. I will be back to try several of the other iced coffee’s. 

Check out this Key lime pie bar.  It melted in my mouth. It was full of flavors.  All the pastries looked amazing.  They had the coffee shop set up with tables and couches so it was very inviting. Would like Cherrie and I to go and hang out and visit. 

 

Birthday celebrations is beginning!

 I took off the rest of the week for my birthday.  This is how I spent most of this beautiful Wednesday. Got lots of snuggles from Landon and Lane.  I really am looking forward to five days off.  A much needed break from work and stress.  

Things I hope to accomplish include getting caught up on pen pal letters.  I also need to get a few blog entries posted.  I also need to clean out my Jeep inside and out.  I also want to hang out with my BFF Cherrie on my actual birthday along with my husband. 

 

Happy birthday Kyndall

Kyndall is already 6 years old. Am so proud of Mellissa for making Kyndall’s birthday so special.

Kyndall is such a girlie girl. Love that for her. One of her favorite stores is Bath and Body Works.  

This girl is living her best life. 

Every girlie loves pink cupcakes. 

I know she had a great pinkalicious birthday.  For her birthday I sent Unicorn Slime, a pink stuffed cat, and a pinkalicious book. 

Happy birthday to my sweet precious Kyndall.  Nana and Papa love you very much.

Nothing beats good homemade dinner.

Trader Joe’s

Trader Joe’s in Nicholas Hills is my favorite place to buy my healthy foods.  The store is always clean and fully stocked. Down side it’s always busy and can get crowded in the isles.

 

How festive to see all the colorful flowers as we walk into the store.  Flowers always brighten the day and brings smiles.

I wish I had taken a few more pictures of the shelves.  At this point I was in shopping mode. Yes, of course I had my shopping list with me.  I had a smaller budget than normal this trip. Was glad I was able to pick up everything on my list for under $50.00. I was buying items for my work lunches mainly. 

Over all our day was very successful. Enjoyed the day with Mindy. 

 

Oklahoma City Art Museum

 Mindy and I are headed to the OKC Art Museum.  I haven’t been in many years and really wanted to go back and see the Dale Chihuly exhibit. I went to The Chihuly Garden and Glass back in August 2015. The trip to Seattle Washington was a weekend filled with lots of museums and sightseeing. I am sure there will be some of the same glass works I already seen. What I hope to do is take more pictures this time. Back in 2015 I didn’t get very many photos of the beautiful glass pieces.

The glass exhibits and art work from Dale Chihuly is amazing. I am truly great full that I got to visit the Oklahoma City Art Museum and see more of his art.  

We looked at all the different exhibits and really enjoyed ourselves.  I had seen an art museum scavenger hunt print out that looked cool.  So yes I printed one out and took it with me.  That element was an added fun element as we walked around the museum.  Although I didn’t realize no ink pens were allowed in the exhibits. Yes I put my pen away after I got scolded.  Then of course later I seen several big signs saying no ink pens were allowed. 

Afterwards we went to The Collective to eat. We ate at  J.T’s Barbecue and catering.
