A stellar weekend in list format.

1.  My new boots came in on Thursday and I got to break them in all weekend.

Be still my ever lovin' achy breaky heart.



ridiculous.

2.  Breaking in my boots included but was not limited to me re-tracking my steps twice throughout the entire Galleria looking for my car key.

3.  I found my car key.  Don't ask me where it was.

4.  Jeans shopping mission 2011 complete.  I hate jeans shopping with every bone in my body.  If I had the money I would have someone bring every pair of jeans that is for sale in America to my home and I would try them on in my bedroom.  I feel like you can't fully be sure of a pair of jeans until you wear them in your bed.  

4a.  Jeans shopping is 49 times worse when you have to retrace your steps in the Galleria, but I digress.

5.  The Aggies lost the Cottonbowl.  This was not stellar for my husband and our friends who are 90% Aggies, however, Niko Nikos + a 10,000,000 inch TV + really comfy chairs + Xbox Kinect at half time = my kind of football watching.

6.  Highlight of the weekend: I finally got to meet up with my girl crush pen pal.  Remember her amazing place?  She and her man came down to our church, then we hit up Cedar Creek, one of our faves, for some lunch and talky talky.  She also brought me this.  A woman after my own heart.  I busted it out last night for some cookies that I'll finish up tonight.  Lauren, we had SO. MUCH. FUN!

7.  The grocery store is never a highlight for me.  So, just a picture.  Pay no attention to the indian feather on my head.

8.  And, at last, I pulled out my new sewing machine and did my first stitching.  The finished product.  I was so proud.  You can place your orders by emailing me with the subject line "Yeah Right".

 

Happy Monday, y'all!

Weekend. Bliss.

I am so thankful for this weekend. This week has been full of disappointment, hard times at work, car troubles leaving us in the parking lot for eternity, and bad outfits. I feel like I had bad outfits all week.

When the Cat is Away, the Mouse will Play!

Devin is going mountain biking this weekend in Comfort, TX, so, while he is frolicking and spooning with all of his boyfriends who wear the same clothes all weekend, this little mouse is going to have a hay day.

As if you care, here is my list of ideal, in no particular order:

1. Sleep

2. Drink wine (Thank you Mr. Coppola)

3. Finish reading Nineteen Minutes (Fantastic)

4. Start a new book…maybe this or this or this or none of those

5. Try out my new rain boots in the stormy weather this weekend (I think they’re too big :( )

6. Go to the Bayou City Art Festival (it was raining- I wasn’t in the mood)

7. Go shopping, duh. (If by shopping you mean keeping Avery happy)

This is Avery Grace.

She goes from this…

to this…

to this in about 1.2 seconds.

8. Try the spin class at our new gym (kicked my butt- I loved it)

9. Drink coffee…lots and lots of coffee (see below- I love you Empire Cafe, for your little coffee treats)

10. Watch TV shows that are not man shows (Man shows include but are not limited to any show where someone is riding/driving/jumping off of a structure, eating something disgusting, hanging out with Johnny Knoxville, putting a blow up doll on a go-cart, wake-boarding in a banana costume, etc.) (I sorta did this but I realized I don’t really like TV at all…so man show or not, I’m not that interested. I did rent “Then She Found Me”- Helen Hunt, Bette Midler…spectacular acting, dull storyline).

11. Find a new pot for my orchid

12. Play with the camera (Pictures coming soon)

13. Hit up the clubs wit my girls yall know it’s gonna be off the heezy.*

14. Wash my car, especially the wheels

15. Go to Sunday School and take extremely detailed notes on how Devin can be nicer to me. Jokes.

16. Breakfast/brunch/lunch with Lu and Nanny (and my dad)

Nanny and Lu…photography by my father.

17. Cook/bake/etc (Chicken Jambalaya, um, yum)

18. Reconstruct the blog since I managed to mutilate it today

The possibilities are endless.

And now that you have wasted 1.25 minutes of your life reading this, you can give me more suggestions for what I can/should do this weekend while the cat’s away.

Have a good weekend!

*Disregard #13, I was just trying to be in college again.

Try to Relax this Weekend

Have a Good Weekend!
