It's Monday night and I'm officially sad that this long holiday weekend is almost over. Even though the weekend did go fast, it was AWESOME. On Friday night, I met Jesse, Brent, and Martin out for some drinks at Wellman's on Ingersoll and then had some Mexican at La Hacienda down the road. It was a great start to a long weekend. On Saturday morning, my alarm went off at 7am so I could get up and get ready for some ISU tailgating! We got to the tailgating lots around 9am and had a great morning/afternoon of drinking (so much so that I didn't even mind the sunburn that I got!). ISU played Tulsa and won! On Sunday, I had a very lazy start and relaxed by the pool for a few hours, which was great. When Sean got home from work, we went hiking at Ledges State Park with our friends Jesse and Stephanie. We brought Hootie with us and he had a great day too. Finally, today, I have done absolutely NOTHING and have loved every second of it. Do I have to go to work tomorrow? Here are some pics from the weekend:
9am screwdrivers? HECK YES.

Pinterest Idea #25
"Make Your Own Coasters"
My attempt:
This DIY project is AWESOME. All of my friends can expect to be getting these babies for Christmas this year! I conned Sean into coming to Menard's with me last week to get some supplies for this project (and a few upcoming ones too!). Since Menard's is "manly" he was all for it. If I asked him to come to Hobby Lobby or something, he would have not come. I bought 8 4x4 tiles and they were only 13 cents each! I also had to buy some scrapbook paper and felt so I stopped at Michael's on the way home (0.99 cents per sheet of scrapbook paper and 0.29 cents each for the felt). I only needed 2 sheets of scrapbook paper and felt to do 8 tiles. The project also called for mod podge and clear spray paint. Since the mod podge was $8.99, I decided to make my own for WAY less. Mix 50/50 glue and water and voila! The coasters turned out great and I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for ISU scrapbook paper so I can make themed coasters too!
Cut 4x4 squares from your scrapbook paper:
Paint mod podge on the tile, then put down the paper, then paint on more mod podge:
Let them dry overnight:
Spray paint them with 2 coats of clear spray paint and then hot glue the felt pads to the bottom:
The finished project:
