The 40th Week of the Good, the Bad, & the Ugly [GBU] Linkup.

Can you believe we've been doing this linkup for 40 weeks? That's a seriously long time. As always, welcome to Mondays with me and Kate, where you tell us the good, bad, and ugly of your weekend.

But first, can we just check out (and admire) the new GBU button that Kate made for us last week? Isn't it fabulous? Yes. Yes, it is.

" Okay, now for the good. I had a ton of quality friend time this weekend, but not too much to where I was sick of people, if that makes sense. Friday brought our weekly Bachelor-watching shenanigans, and for the first time, all four of us were together to watch it, which was great. Saturday, I talked to Kate for two hours, and Sunday, I met up with Leslie for church before Skyping with Sydney. Friends!

Also good? The 20% off almost EVERYTHING coupon at Ulta. Usually their coupons aren't for nice brands, but the one today worked on all the nice brands, so what did I do? Stocked up on Kinerase face wash and bought a full-sized BareMinerals mascara. Stellar deals.

The bad? Operation Skinny Jeans is still going on, so I am limiting myself to one drink a week, which is sometimes sad. However, if it helps me to lose 6+ pounds a month, it's totally worth it. It also made my weekly cosmo on Saturday night even more delicious. And the recipe? Coming later this week. :)

The ugly? The show "The Taste." I Hulu-ed it (yes, that's a verb now) this weekend and was blown away by its stupidity. From what I can gather, it's kind of like "The Voice" but for food. And it was lame. I didn't even finish watching the episode, and you KNOW how much I love tv. It takes a lot for me to turn something off mid-episode.
