Finally Friday!

Wow, is it Friday already? This week has flown by! Of course, I was home sick on Wednesday, so that might have helped a little bit. I’m still stuffy and congested, but considerably better than I was.

I hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day. Ours was quiet, but that was fine with me. We had clams (for DH) and shrimp (for me) and heart-shaped PB&J for Brady. After he went to bed, we watched our latest episode of Alias. Like I said, it was quiet but good!

Big plans for the weekend? We are super busy Saturday and Sunday. Tonight we’re just staying in and I’ll probably catch up on housework that has been ignored all week while I was sick. Thank goodness DH doesn’t mind doing the laundry, otherwise I’d have a mountain of that to deal with, too! Tomorrow morning I have a hair appointment and tomorrow evening we’re going to Mike and Ashley’s house for dinner. They’re the first couple we became friends with after we started going to our church. It should be a fun evening. Sunday will be Sunday School and church and then we’re having a Sunday School get-together at Raji and Susan’s house after the evening service. I need to make a dessert to take to that. If the weather is nice, we’ll probably take Brady to the park Sunday afternoon.

As for my hair appointment, I’m getting the urge to do something different. If you’ve read my blog for a little while, you know I went back to my “natural” color this past fall. I like it, but it needs a little something. I’ll probably just get some highlights added in. Who knows! I’ll let you know on Monday what happened.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!


Here are my two Valentine's! I love them to pieces!

Happy Monday!

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. The weather here was fabulous, so I hope yours was, too.

I made great progress on Brady’s spring/summer wardrobe. Down here in the south, we start wearing spring clothes in March, so I don’t have much time. I visited my favorite consignment store Saturday morning and got 6 shirts and 2 pairs of shorts for $34. This store has brand names in great shape. Everything I got was Gap, Gymboree or Old Navy and looked like it had never been worn. Oh, and one brand I didn’t know of but looked fine. Yesterday I went to Gymboree and got Brady’s Easter outfit:

It was a little more than $34, but I didn’t have to buy the khaki pants because Brady already has a pair. I also got him a cute little polo shirt.

Brady also made the move from his convertible car seat to a new booster-style car seat. It still has the 5-point harness system, but looks more like a booster. It’s funny how big he looked in his old one and now he looks little again. This one should last until he moves to the official booster when he’s 4 or 5.

So apparently it was “Spend Money On Brady Weekend.” I don’t mind. He’s worth it!Have a great week!

One week and counting

Valentine’s Day is a week away! I’m getting a copy of Marie Antoinette with Kirsten Dunst as my gift. My sweetie is getting a subscription to a magazine that he likes and Brady is getting a Pirates of the Caribbean dress-up kit. He loves Capt. Jack, so now he’ll have his own little sword. I’m sure the decision to purchase this will come back to haunt me someday soon. If you hear of a 27 year old mom is SC being stabbed by her 2 year old with a Capt. Jack plastic sword, you’ll know it was me.

Here are some cute desserts I found:

Storms in Tennessee and Mississippi

Can I ask you all to say some prayers for the victims of the tornadoes that came through Tennessee and Mississippi last night? Most of you know that I’m from Memphis and this has really hit me hard. Right now we’re in the process of trying to get in touch with our friends and making sure that everyone is alright.

As I’ve been reading the news reports, I’ve been trying to figure out where there was damage. The Hickory Ridge Mall lost part of it’s roof and three people died in a nearby office building. The parents of a friend of mine live very near there. A tornado touched down in Southaven, MS, close to the neighborhood of another friend. And yet another tornado hit Arlington, where my best friend lives. As of right now I haven’t heard from any of them.

The death toll for the Mid-South area is around 31 people as of this morning. Please say some prayers for these people and the ones they leave behind.

Wishing and Hoping

LOVE THESE!!!!!

Happy Friday!

Edited to say: We've decided to scrap the movie idea tomorrow night. We'll just go to dinner and probably hang out in Barnes and Noble. What can I say? We're cheap dates!

I always look forward to the weekends. I know you’re not supposed to wish your life away, but I’ve always looked at Friday as the light at the end of the tunnel. Even if you don’t have something fun and exiting planned, you can still enjoy the fact that you don’t necessarily have to be up at the crack of dawn those two days. Hopefully.

This weekend is busy, but good busy. Tonight is “movie in night.” I’m making lasagna and we’re staying in and watching either “Waitress” or our next disc of “Alias.”














Tomorrow we’re taking Brady to the zoo since the weather is supposed to be nice. DH has a yearly clearance sale at his game shop that he wants to check out and Brady and I will be making our cookies. Tomorrow night is Date Night, so we’ll go out for dinner and possibly a movie. I’d like to see “Juno” and “National Treasure II” is still out as well.

















Sunday is Sunday School and church. Then, of course, the Super Bowl. Go Patriots!


As of right now there aren’t any parties to go to, so we’ll just party at our own house. We’re having chili and I’ll come up with some sort of fun snack to go with our cookies. Maybe 7-layer dip.

Have a great week!
