Rugby/Hunting Lease Weekend

Pulled out last Saturday morning....first stop; San Antonio for rugby

then off to the lease for the weekend...

New Shoes....

....well, hiking boots exactly.....

Getting ready for the weekend and many days to come....

I've been wanting another pair of 'weekend, casual shoes' for a while (cause I usually just wear tennis shoes when going for closed toe)...and have thought of some multi-purpose hiking type footware. After my Enchanted Rock adventure I became more aware of the need for such footware. And then there was the hunting trip that didn't happen (last month).

In preparation for a trip to the deer lease I knew it was time to dig in and finally buy some hiking boots. Of course being me, it was a case of get off work and head straight to Academy (the honey's influence as it's his favorite store). There was a limited selection and I suppose I could have passed and tried another location or another store but time was limited and I found this pair. I thought they looked pretty good--even trying them on with dress pants----and they were comfortable on my feet. The honey has already warned me to bring extra socks and lots of bandaides for he fears I will be in pain after a long day tracking--I'm hoping that isn't the case.

Valentine Dinner

Since Valentine's is today (Monday), the honey and I celebrated this weekend...nothing fancy.....time together, breakfast yesterday and I cooked dinner for him....au gratin potatoes--from scratch (and he's already asked for them again)

broccoli rice casserole made with fresh broccoli.....

bread 'sticks' in the shape of a heart....

and steak....he was a happy boy.....silly me, I didn't get a picture of the valentine I made for him.....

Crazy Busy....

That is how I would describe the last week.....

First up last Saturday was the Dolphin watching cruise for Miss I's birthday...and surprisingly it wasn't as cold on the water as I anticipated....

Next on the agenda was Galveston Rugby....unfortunately they lost to the UT Grad team...and it was super cold out on the pitch (field)....but the party after provided warmth, yummy food (thanks Mike) and lots of laughter....

Sunday was the annual MS Social so the honey and I ventured out to that...he is such a good sport. Afterward we ran by Archivers--again, he's a great sport--then over to Bass Pro to treat him...then home to watch my Steelers lose the SuperBowl---number seven alludes us for now....

Monday was the start of another cold, icy, busy week......but Friday night brought scrapping with girls....oh how I've missed that! I laughed and laughed and laughed.....

Now begins my jam packed Saturday...laundry, finishing up the honey's valentine, cleaning--or at least my attempt at doing so, shopping for valentine dinner with the honey...hoping to drop in to visit Robin in the midst of her journey toward being a brand new pain-free woman, running various errands and hoping to fit in some time to just veg.....

Playing....

Walk Awards

Tuesday evening was the MS Walk Awards party. I really have no idea where my team fell in the final rankings but I do know I made Mission Movers again though not as high as last year. But it's all good. Raised money for a very worthy cause and though I didn't make my personal goal I did achieve over 50% of the goal. Time to focus on the 2011 Walk! Mark your calendars--Saturday, November 12, 2011!! Site to be determined.....
