I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend, and those of you that had a four day, or more, weekend let me just say that I was super jealous! Here's a recap of what went down this weekend.
Thursday (Independence Day):
We didn't really do very much during the day. I edited the new blog layout that you see before you and it went live. We had some relaxing us time, but didn't lay out by the pool because it was a zoo. I played with my new hair tools and got ready to meet with D's family at the club for a buffet and some yummy Sangria. Close friends also joined, and they are the ONLY reason I have pictures from the holiday! Thanks Amanda! We ate yummy food, listened to music and people watched (also enjoyed the weather) while chatting. We made it home before fireworks so that pup would not panic! Then we watched Independence Day and passed out for work. Side note: I lost a bet with the hubs....I didn't remember owning ID and since I never bet I was sure I would win....well needless to say he found the dvd and I have to pay up!

Friday:
We both had to work! We were oh so jealous of all you people that got to go and play!
Saturday:
D had to work AGAIN! So I slept in a bit and puttered around the house. Then I went and did a little shopping with my birthday cash. I got a couple new shirts and hope to go get a couple more things later on. There was some really great stuff! I went and surprised D and took him to lunch. Then went home to prep for our dear friends joint 30th bday party, I used my new styling wand for the first time and I love it! At the party we snuggled with all the babies, laughed and told many stories. I ended up getting caught in the midst of a water fight. We had some vodka infused watermelon and D tried blueberry moonshine with lemonade. (the store bought kind, still needing to try the real stuff!) I took a sip and realized how strong it was...it was yummy to me though. Apparently those blueberries pack quite a punch, so be warned! Then after most everyone had left both set of A's and us went inside and discussed our dreams of leaving this state....where we would go, and joked about building a compound. D would be the financial adviser, we would have enough teachers to get the kids completely through to college, I would design all the houses and we would have our own private security with Mr. A (the 2nd.) Sounds like a perfect plan to me! Where to go....Massachusetts? Georgia? Texas? The Carolina's? Let's make a decision! At 11pm we made our way out the door, saying good night to everyone and all the kiddos.

Sunday:
I got up early and went to the store to get all the fixin's for my family pasta sauce. I haven't made it in almost a year and was craving some carbs big time. I mixed all that together and got it on the stove before 10am. I put some laundry in and did some light cleaning while D went shopping with his dad for some new suits. Once he got home we conked out under the a.c. for a bit and the got ready for our neighbors to join in on the yumminess. We conversed and had some good laughter and hit the hay relatively early. This heat is totally zonking my energy.....or is it the 35 days and counting of no caffeine? I think its a mixture of both!
