Busy Busy!

I made it through the first weekend alone! Dean left bright & early Sat. morning for Alaska. Allison & I headed to the lakes to do our 4 mile walk & day 1 of C25K. I'm so excited that I was able to do it. I know I'm just beginning but I did it & it wasn't too hard. I do wish I could do something about the way I look when I finish. I get soooo red in the face. It's awful. If anyone knows of a sweat proof makeup please let me know! Once we were done we needed a refreshing drink. You guessed it, ice green tea please! Then it was back to my house. I was hosting "the worst book club ever". I made pasta salad & everyone else brought stuff. We had a sandwich tray from Subway, fruit, leftover wedding cake & chips. Not great for the diet but it was fun. We ate & hung out in the pool.

After book club, Vicki & I were going out to dinner & to see Crazy, Stupid, Love. We went to La Caretta & then to the theater. Our plan was to see the 7:15 feature. Yeh, well, we couldn't even get in the parking lot so we decided to go down the street for the 7:40 feature. EPIC FAIL. The line was a mile long & it was very close to 7:40. We weren't too worried because you know they show 20 mins. of previews. It's FINALLY our turn. SOLD OUT. Seriously? How hard is it to make an announcement as to which movies are sold out or mark it on the sign. Who knows how much time we would've saved. We tried to get tickets to The Help. Also, sold out. So annoying. We went to Starbucks. This is becoming a serious problem I think. At this point it was 3 days in a row & twice in one day. We went to Borders & picked up a couple of books. We also went to Ulta. I've heard a lot about the Macadamia Hair Mask & I wanted to try it. They were sold out of the big container so I got a sample size.

I also bought this conditioner.

I've heard some people talk about how much they like it. I'll try both & decide which one I like the best.

Sunday, Allison & I were supposed to walk the lakes again but Allison had a late night Sat. so we didn't. I'd set my clock to make sure I didn't oversleep before I knew we weren't walking. I woke up & the clock said 8:15. We were meeting at 8:00. I jumped out of bed & grabbed my phone so I could let her know what was going on. That's when I saw her text & noticed that it was 4:15 AM. Apparently, I did something wrong!! HA! Needless to say it was difficult to get back to sleep.

Since we didn't get to see the movie Saturday night we decided to try again Sunday. Allison met Vicki & I & we were able to get tickets & being that there is a Starbuck's right there I got a green tea to bring in the movie. 

It was really good. I liked it a lot. It was funnier than I was expecting.

Today, I'm exhausted. I didn't sleep good at all last night. I don't know if it's nerves from being home alone or my subconscious thinking about screwing up the alarm clock & being late for work or what. I was awake a zillion times last night so that leads to waking up with a headache. Today is day 2 of C25K. I expect to be in bed EARLY tonight. Surely, as exhausted as I am, combined with the run I'll be able to sleep.

Toodles!

BLECH.......

It's Monday. Yuck.

I've been buying a lot of Groupon, Living Social & Bargain Bee deals since we like to eat out. Lately, that's how we decide where we're going. Friday night Dean & I had dinner at Couyons BBQ. I had a loaded baked potato stuffed with pulled pork. It was delish!!! I hadn't been to Couyons before but I'll definitely go back.

Saturday, my parents, Dean's parents & our niece Camille came over to swim. Dean grilled hot dogs & we had all the fixings & chips. The whole alien invading my body concept is looking more & more real everyday. That was the 2nd time last week that I had a hot dog!! We had a nice afternoon with everyone.

Our plan was to go to Mass Saturday afternoon but we'd also talked about going to the movie. The times didn't really work for us if we went to Mass too so we decided on the movie & went to Mass Sunday morning. We went & saw

It was funny! I've always really liked Jason Bateman & Ryan Reynolds was funny too. I did like Friends With Benefits better though. After the movie we headed over to Borders to check out their going out of business sale. I found several books in their bargain book area which is a good deal in itself but then they were an additional 25% off. I got a couple of hardback books for $3.00. We ended up with 7 or 8 books for $33 with tax. I thought it was a good deal. Of course we had to have dinner. We were having a hard time deciding what we wanted so we ended up at our old faithful, La Caretta. For those of you that know me in real life, I've never liked Mexican. This is another one of those times where our tastes change. For the last couple of years I've really started eating it. I had Flautas for the first time Sat. night & I think they may be my new Mexican fave. Soooo good!!!

Sunday I spent some time in the pool & I read. Has anyone read this book?

I've been wanting to read it & Borders had it on sale. I read it yesterday. It was very interesting & I really enjoyed it.  

Yesterday afternoon I decided that instead of lounging around in the pool or lounging around on the sofa I'd go to Yogalates. I'm so glad I did. Sometimes it's hard to make myself go but I'm always really glad afterwards. How was everyone's weekend?

Toodles! 

Weekend Wrap Up

What a fun weekend! As I told you before this was opening weekend for LSU Baseball. The weather was great! I can't remember a season opener where the weather was this good. Usually, we're all bundled up. It was great to sit there Friday night with jeans & short sleeve shirt on! LSU swept Wake Forest so that was good too.

Saturday was pretty much non-stop. I started my day with Yogalates then it was home to shower & get dressed. I went & had my nails done & while I was there I decided to have a pedi. I was sitting in the chair reading my Nook, having my feet rubbed & another guy was painting my fingernails. It was delightful! Afterwards, it was off to our Godchild Lane's, birthday party. He was 5 on Friday. I don't know where the time goes. His party was at a jump place & all the kids seem to have fun. Somehow I managed to forget my camera so no pics of the kiddos. Once the party was over I went to Mass & then home to get Dean. He'd gone to the game. We went to meet our friends Paul & Niki & their little girl Charli for dinner. We went to La Carreta. It was really good. Apparently, all that running around wore me out because I went to sleep at 8:30 Saturday night. I was in bed reading & I couldn't keep my eyes open!

Sunday I managed to get some stuff done around the house. I cleaned out the drawers in my night stand. I can't remember the last time I did that & I had a ton of crap to get rid of. YAY!! Snapfish was having a great deal over the weekend, 100 prints for $5.00 including shipping. I had a ton of pictures I've been wanting to print I just hadn't taken the time to do it so now that's done. We went to the LSU game. It was nice being outside. The game was well in hand in the 8th inning so we left & went to the movie. We saw Just Go With It. I LOVED it!!! It was really funny. I've always loved Jennifer Anniston. I definitely recommend the movie. Afterwards, we ate at California Pizza Kitchen. We've never eaten there & I'd been wanting to try it. I really, really liked it.  I love having a fun, busy weekend but I swear it feels like I just left work & now I'm back. UGH! Hopefully, the week will go by fast. What did everyone do this weekend?

Toodles!
