Coffee Dates & Halloween Plates

I met up with one of my fav girls, Merci. A girlfriend date was much needed. We had planned for fro yo and coffee. However, we never got around for fro yo. We never left Starbucks. Coffee was deliciousness and we fed our sweet tooth too.



I could have stayed there all day catching up with M. If I had my pants would no longer fit. Probably a good thing we finally left. ;)

After, I hit up the Turner's casa to spend a little bit of time with Molly T. Mostly, so old gal could get a bathroom break.

I checked in to casa Momo and soon left for Hobby Lobby. It was so hard to not buy up everything that caught my eye.

I bought some letters to join a large 'M' on the wall.



We bought these very fun porcelain plates:



I told K we had to leave and now before I bought anything else, especially for Oli's room.

I had a lot of indulgences today, which isn't a bad thing. :)

Valentine's Day II

I feel like such a lazy friend on Cupid's day to spread love.

My friends are no slouches when it comes to this holiday.

Mary sent me home with delicious soft cookies smothered in a layer of delicious frosting!

Chrissy was my secret Valentine (well, sort of...she was able to sneak in but I knew she was coming) and delivered boxes of Brach's Hearts. I forgot all about those hard, crunchy hearts. I have had other brands in the past and have found them not to my liking. When I bit into one of the Brach's Hearts, though, it took me on a memory ride back to my childhood. What a great treat!

This morning, K went to check our mail, since we forgot to do so last night when we got home. There was a postcard of three awesome children showcased in their own frame asking us to: Be Our Valentine
1. Rees was dressed as a bee! HA! :)
2. Nick held up the letter 'R' as he posed and cheesed for the camera.
3. Ruby was in a Valentine's Day top.
How smart and creative and it made me smile big.

It's hard having friends who are so with it and have great holiday game. Luckily, I am a benefactor of such greatness.

Oh, don't let me forget about what my best friend did for me. K sneaked in a bouquet of tulips into my office while I was away for the lunch hour. He knows I am a big fan of tulips. :)

Turn Back the Clocks, Please.

I have had many weekends where I plan so many things that take me away from the house. I keep busy with friends, exercise, and other things that seem to be productive.

The only thing that isn't productive on my part is taking care of the home. I have been so lazy with housework in general. I need to go back to the old days when Sundays were our extreme cleaning day.

I'm never going to be the organized person that I want to be if I cannot even dust once a week. Boo!

It's hard to focus on cleaning and organizing a home when there are so many other fun things to do. However, I must refocus and make the house more feng shui so I don't lose my mind.

My weekend was a good one and of course I'm going to give you my highlights.

-We ate at Nijiya with a friend and chose the hibachi dinner. The food was really good and it was nice catching up with this friend who we haven't seen in forever.

-Miss Mary and I had a marathon day of shopping in Lufkin. I think we spent 2 to 2 1/2 hours in target, y'all. My prize purchase in there was new drinking glasses that make me happy. There were plenty of other things that I wanted but I held myself back. M and I went to UFO Pizza for lunch. Dang! That was a very tasty pizza! I want to go there again today. :)

We went to Old Navy next and let me advise you if you are going to almost eat a whole 10 inch pizza by yourself do not try on clothes in a poorly lit dressing room right after. There might be cussing and tears involved so just skip that scene.

-M and I were going to open up the Church of Skatin' the next day but found kiddy skateboarders in our church. We drove to the commuter's lot on campus instead and went about padding up for some skating. Y'all, when that wind blew through us on several occasions making our knees knock we wussed out and threw our shit back into the car. We headed for hot joe instead at Java Jack's. We had lady time there and also got to chit chat with Mandy for a short few and Amy was able to visit with us for a while before prepping her home for the arrival of family.

M dropped me off at home and by this time it was noon and a lot warmer, so I took the pups for a 45 min walk. I even got in a visit with the aunt and cousin for a bit. The rest of the day was spent lounging at home. This is probably when I should have been cleaning or something. :)
