Sunday Errands....
Check out Robin's work below....she designed the Laure Mercier product gondola.....got to see her 'work in action' when I popped in Sephora to pick up makeup......the honey sat outside the store enjoying the day...
Next was trip to the newly opened Joanns....soooooo much bigger and nicer than the old store....lots of yummy fabric.......
And an extensive scrapping section.....seemed nearly everything was 40% off
!---I managed to pace myself....the honey browsed at Academy......
Got some cute fabric and hope to play this week...I'm thinking apron...we shall see!
A quick trip (well sort quick) by Lane Bryant for some new jeans--since they have a new shipment of the ones I like and they are on sale......then dinner at Texas Roadhouse--we were both stuffed. By then it was nearly 7p so definitely time to head home and lounge a bit before having to head to dreamland.....honey has to work and I have a breakfast date...oh and a neuro appointment.
Laters!

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.....

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.....

Scrapbook Love...By Design style....
Isn't the tag below adorable! Since I was headed home from the island I decided to stop at By Design and since it's Monday I got to 'play' and do the weekly make-n-take...so easy and C-U-T-E!!
January.....Where Have You Gone???
Seems just yesterday was New Year's Day and in the blink of an eye, it's February Eve. As usual, it's been a busy whirlwind month....back to work......registration hell....the start of another semester (and sadly individuals want to do less and less for themselve and blame shortcomings or their failure to prepare on others)......annual Oaks Galveston weekend...and BOOM---it's February.
So thinking of my One Little Word....SAVOR....I have to think about the month and if I did indeed savor all that life had to offer. I got my first new bike in over 30 years--granted I've had to learn to ride again.....took a quick weekend trip with the honey even if we did end up changing our plans due to a busted elbow....had a fabulous weekend at the beach with the honey--the rugby team won, saw several friends and got to see the Oaks. Looking at that list I find it easy to say that yes, I did savor the time.
On to February!

Island Love
...or How in the HECK did I NOT get any Galveston shots?????
Just home from the annual Oaks Island Weekend....pretty much jam packed.....Saturday morning breakfast at Kelley's with the honey---really looking forward to the Kelley's opening in Stafford cause the food is delish! A quick stop by Academy with the honey and then a short stoll down the seawall--and silly me, no pictures.
Next was the rugby game--even though the honey wasn't playing. It's a fun bunch and they won the game! Again-no pictures.
Back to the hotel to change for the show then off to the after-game party. They normally party at the bar just down from the Opera House which would have been perfect for me--unfortunately this time the party was changed to a location on the Seawall. Stopped there for a quick bite and a party with the team then off to the theater......yep, no pics!
Showtime---tons of pics then back to the hotel........
Sunday morning breakfast with the honey.......relaxing at the hotel then lunch with Na---again, no pics....then Sunday showtime and of course, many pictures. After the show back to the hotel and relaxing with the honey--I think I was asleep by 9p.
Monday morning up at a leisurely pace, off the island and home again........

The Last Two Days...
This is where I've spent the last two days--sleeping today till 3:30p
This is what I've lived off of the last two days....
I finally feel as though I may be back among the living....I guess I slept all day today to make up for the sleep I didn't get Sunday night...and to get rid of the fever that attacked this morning...but I am finally feeling closer to (my) normal and plan to rejoin the world tomorrow!

Just Scrap It...
After spending lots of time looking through scrap magazines and sites I finally sat down at the drafting table to create....I put together a mini book of the honey's hospital adventures from last weekend.
It's been a while since I've felt creative and it felt good to get back to it....think I'll spend the afternoon partaking in a little paper-thearapy......

Next time....put alll the towels away.....
I swore I wasn't going to do this but I was in a hurry before we left and I left a few towels on the extra bed...guess where Sissy has decided to sleep......
Weekend gone awry....
Ya plan and ya plan...and things never turn out as you planned.....
....the plan was after Saturday's rugby game to go to the deer lease for the rest of the weekend....honey was gonna hunt and cook for me and I was just going to lounge.....and then I heard him growl in pain.....dislocated and chipped his elbow....Saturday afternoon was spent in the McAllen Medical Center Emergency room. After being released we headed toward home but stopped in Kingsville for the night due to the really nasty weather.
Thank goodness I was there to help out and I'm thankful it wasn't any worse. He's been a trouper the entire time!
