Weekend Recap

So, I had just written out a long post recapping the weekend.....and my browser ate it.  So, here is the bullet point list instead:

*last thurs had a half day of work because we got all packed up in a hurry!!

*spent thurs afternoon grocery shopping for upcoming party

*friday, scheduled day off due to the move - plumber came to fix drippy guest bath tub faucet & I did some party prep

*parents came in friday for some one-on-one time with me.....amazing how much I still need that at age 32!!

*went to Stars game friday night -- they won!

*lots of running on Saturday - REI (new warm things for the upcoming NYC trip), Target, lunch with my aunt & uncle, Sam's, Hobby Lobby, cinema to see the new James Bond

*church - showing off our new family life center

*yummy lunch at Fuddrucker's.....with some NYC trip planning mixed in

*up to the new office after waving bye to m&d.....

*3+ hours of unpacking/settling

*ALL boxes and crates out of my new office!!!! :-)

Now I'm crashing for a bit to relax before heading to bed.  T-16 days to NYC!!!

Catching up.....

So, things in the bathroom remodel are still rocking along and nearing completion.....jump over here if you want to see more.

We are now 10 days away from baby Ratliff's anticipated due date.....baby is in position, but nothing is moving yet.....(at least that is what I am told!)

My parents came into town this past weekend.....we hung out at my house on Sat afternoon and watched the three original Indiana Jones movies (taped off the Sci-Fi channel) before heading to the theater to watch the new Indy movie on Sunday afternoon. It was good, though a little more sci-fi than action in some spots. Our speculation is that this is the last Indy movie.....but we'll see......

I met my good friend Sarah to see the new Narnia movie, Prince Caspian yesterday afternoon. I still need to re-read the series, but quite a bit of the movie is based on what I remembered from the book. Not all, but a lot.

I'm halfway through the Anne of Green Gables book series.....midway through the first book, I wasn't sure if I'd want to read the rest....but now I can't stop! Four more books to go.

It is now officially summer in my part of the world....high temps and humidity made for a miserably hot Memorial Day weekend. Thank goodness for air conditioning! (Yes, I am a spoiled girl who loves my a/c!)

Birthday, family, snow!

Last Friday night some friends from church treated me to a yummy dinner at Manny's.....brisket tacos! Yum!!!
























Then Saturday, on the actual day, my good friends Katie, Sarah and I celebrated together. Sarah's birthday was Feb 25 and Katie's was Feb 27. We have celebrated our special days together for over 10 years! We had a yummy dinner at Bennigan's then saw a cute new movie, Penelope. We played with my camera in the movie theater trying to get a good self-portrait. Many goofs later, here we are!


















On Sunday I had my March dinner (er...lunch) party. My cousin Blake, his wife Lianne and their baby Andrew came and joined me, Heather & Phillip for lunch at my house. We haven't spent much time together in recent years, so it was fun to catch up and enjoy playing with Andrew! We missed Lauren, Robert & Lindsey to complete the Cousin Lunch -- it would have been a little bit of a drive from Abilene just for Sunday lunch!




























Then on Monday night, it snowed! I snapped these couple quick picks on Tuesday morning before I headed out to work.

Wild Hogs

I thought this movie sounded great when the previews first started showing. Somehow, though, I never made it to the theater to see it.

I finally rented Wild Hogs tonight......and it didn't disappoint. The sight of the motorcycles was enough to keep me interested, but it is really very funny too. Laugh out loud so I can hardly breathe funny at several points. I'd highly recommend it.

While the super Dolby surround sound of a theater probably would have enhanced the beautiful sound of the Harley pipes, watching the movie at home was just as satisfying.

Headed now to finish up laundry, then a good long night of sleep.
