Shopping, Spa Day, and Hogs...Oh My!

This evening wraps up what was a four and half day weekend for me. It was lovely!

Thursday:

• half-day at work, setting up Valentine's Day activities for kinders
• enjoyed my wild kinders as they showered me with gifts and cards
• last pep rally performance for the year for Boo, East/West game to close season

pep rally theme: kiss the pig. poor little piggie

Friday:

• re-check at doctor with Lefty for her migraines and back injury
• great report! We don't go back for a year, unless she has trouble.
• lunch with Lefty and a sweet friend...we had...PASTA!!!
• three hour nap (don't judge, my aunt was visiting)

Saturday:

• Hubs and I snuck away for a couple of days
• shopping...jeans two sizes smaller and new bras because the ta-tas are shrinking fast
• dinner at Texas Land and Cattle...usually love this place, but a bit disappointing this time
• a quick run into Charming Charlie; why didn't I think of a color coded accessory store???
• movies at the Malco to see...

(gonna hafta read it again. not sure if I was impressed or not)

Sunday:

• took a drive through some pretty neighborhoods in Bentonville and Fayetteville. Love it in NWA.

How was your weekend? If it was half as blessed as mine, then it must've been fantastical!!!

I Got a Brand New Tattoo...

all the colors in it remind me of you...

I really didn't get a new one, I already have three and DH thinks that is plenty. If you didn't guess already, it's lyrics...Saving Abel...they are performing in a tiny hole in the wall bar twenty minutes from my house tonight.

We LOVE live music, and neither of us had any idea they were even close! Who knew!?!? So, I rarely 'go out' and thus have no idea how to dress for such things...I am always very self-conscious about how I look, especially when I am out and about. In attempt to find non-mom, non-teacher, non-fat girl clothes suitable for a bar...I raided my teenage daughters' closets. Hey, closet raids can go both ways, right? I paid for all of it! Here is what I came up with.

Not bad for an over-weight, middle aged mom, eh?
The clothes on the counter are not mine, btw...they belong to DH.

 We had an adventure today. Not really, but we tried. There is this waterfall that we have been wanting to see. We tried a few years ago to go, but took the convertible and the road was washed out. Needless to say, we didn't get there. We did get cute pics that day though...

Once again, the road was under water today and even though we had the truck, the gates were closed. Fail again. It was a nice drive on a beautiful afternoon though.

We also plotted out where our garden will be and made plans to get it started in the next few weeks. You can check out my post about our first garden (last year) here. This year it will go in the same place, but will be a double expansion of what it was before. Today, the garden space looks like this...

 Oh, and I tried out a new braid today. I kinda like it.

What's It Worth?

Two months ago, I bought Lefty a pair of these...

Saturday night, she went to a Halloween Hay-Ride/Party, and this happened on the dance floor...

She's gonna miss them! But seriously...were two months worth it? I did get them on sale, but they were regularly priced $120...we paid $80...but...geez. What's it worth? Really...
