The Gravity of Fall Wreaths

FRIDAY: Our boss randomly allowed Erin and I to take an HOUR lunch TOGETHER. It was like Christmas had come early. We went to Subway (in Walmart). While we were in the line ordering our subs I had already grabbed my bag of chips and then Erin grabbed a bag and asked what kind I got. We turned to look at each other both holding BBQ Lays. Ha! Then as we were sitting there enjoying our lovely lunch, Erin pointed to our purses. They were both sitting next to each other on the table. They looked almost the same except the styles were different. Here we go again! We finish each other's sentences on a regular basis but that day we just kept saying what the other was thinking. It was so bizarre and awesome. We giggled every time it happened.

We still had 30 minutes to kill so we decided to walk around Walmart. We headed straight to their Halloween section. They have full size, good looking pumpkins, for only $3.88! (Winn Dixie was selling them for $6. Um WTF.) I grabbed two for Dustin and I and Erin picked one up for herself. Then we held each other back from spending a ridiculous amount of money on Halloween decorations. I ended up only picking up a couple cute lights (bats and ghosts!).

Erin and I have been planning a craft night for a month now. Her friend Brittany was supposed to join us but she had to cancel. So Erin and I continued on with the plan. First things first, Hobby Lobby or as I like to affectionately call it - HobLob. Erin goes all the time but it was my very first time experiencing such a wonderful place. I remember someone telling me "You would LOVE Hobby Lobby!" and they were right. I did love it. I want to live in there. It's a crafter's dream. It's got everything from fabric, crafting supplies, decor, etc. It is truly amazing. I couldn't get enough. Erin and I zig zagged through the aisles, collecting supplies for our wreaths. Between all the sales they were having and the coupon I found on their app, I ended up spending $20 on everything I needed. Afterwards, we headed over to Panera for dinner and then back to her house to get started on our Fall wreaths.

Erin had borrowed this huge folding table from her sister so we would have plenty of room to work on. We placed it right in front of the TV. I brought my DVD of 'Hocus Pocus' over for us to watch during the crafting but she forgot she moved her DVD player in her bedroom. Womp womp. We jammed out to Katy Perry and Miley instead.

We watched YouTube videos and read blog tutorials on how to construct a burlap wreath. We had a really hard time getting started. We were both getting frustrated but we powered on and eventually got the hang of it. For our first attempt (and possibly last) they turned out damn good!

SATURDAY: Dustin and I went to a morning showing of 'Gravity'. WHOA. WOW. It was fantastic. Dustin and I walked out of the theater still in shock, trying to pick our mouths up off the floor. The story was perfect and I thought it might have slow parts but it really didn't. It was an intense ride. And visually, one of the coolest looking movies ever. Sandra kicked some serious ass. I'd bet almost anything that she gets an Oscar nomination for this masterpiece. 

Dustin and I ate lunch after, and all we could talk about was how crazy the movie was. I think he was bummed we didn't see it in IMAX 3D but I just didn't feel like putting contacts in my eyeballs. We came home and didn't do anything else the rest of the weekend. It was perfect and ended way too quick, like they always do.
