My weekend log goes like this:-Friday night K and I enjoyed dinner at Nijiya. We sat at the hibachi table and had a nice dinner. Luckily, our table mates did their own thing and no awkward conversation was necessary from either party. Dinner was delicious but I think I would have been happier with a roll or two and some seaweed salad. I think next time that will be what I'll do.After dinner we

Just in case you were wondering what Toby has been up to I figured I'd provide some photos.

A good ole' 4th of July

I must say I was not looking forward to waking up this morning to face Monday. I especially was a bit cranky about it because Josie, the thunder hater, was in quite a panic to get into our bedroom early this morning. She finally whined her way in about five minutes before my alarm went off. *sigh* It's too bad she is so afraid of thunder and rain because I sure do love it.We had a long weekend

-Friday night dinner with G & M was pretty nice. It was relaxing and fun. M knows how to throw down in the kitchen and I left feeling quite full and satisfied from the great eats and company.-Saturday swim at Ratcliff Lake was a good time. K actually agreed to go and D went with us too. Met up with the MRTs and some of their family and C and N came too! :)Late Saturday D came over to watch

I'm still pretty tired from the weekend.Saturday, I worked for almost three hours in my yard. I pruned the hell out of all the bushes surrounding the house. K eventually joined me and helped me finish up. When we were done we got showered up and headed to Lufkin. I wanted to go to Big Lots and see if they had some chairs that I saw advertised in their flyer on-line. Either our BL didn't get those

This is what a perfect Sunday looks like. Mary provided an awesome picnic lunch that included pb&j sammiches, dr. peppers, kettle chips, and strawberries. I brought along grapes, oranges, and an assortment of munchies. Our lunch was too enticing to save for later so we ate first and once we were properly fueled up we took a paddle boat around the lake. The most exciting thing that happened that

Weekend Recap

Weekend List of Events:-Friday evening my friend Sarah came over to visit and to eat dinner with us. She lives in Arkansas now so we sorely miss her and the hubby. She requested to eat at T's Sandwiches so we headed to the mall and indulged in pho, summer rolls, and boba tea. It was so nice to get to spend some time with her.-Saturday afternoon K and I went over to R & B's so that the boys could

NacaLuau

This past Saturday was the NacaLuau. Many of us wait all year for this event. Many out of towners come in for this event. The talent show this year was pretty hilarious and some how I got roped into performing in an act. Do y'all see that trophy in the middle there? Yes. That trophy. Number 1 - Top Banana. Special K, Master B, Fly Girl R, and me won first place at the no talent Talent Show. We

For our anniversary I got K this new wedding band. He picked it out. It's even better looking in person. I also like the company I got this tungsten ring from because they have a lifetime replacement warranty since you cannot resize tungsten rings.

Memorial Day Weekend

2009-05-26T09:56:00.003-05:00

What a marvelous long weekend I just had. Is it greedy of me to wish I could do it over again? :)I took Friday off from work and lounged around for a bit. I did manage to get in a good workout at 11 a.m. an hour before I had to go in and teach a weight training class. The class went fast and then I was on my way home for a nice hot shower. I had plans to meet up with F and she and I headed

Elephant Trunk Yoga Pose -- powered by ExpertVillage.comThis is called the Elephant Trunk pose. In Monday nights yoga class we focused on poses that made us aware of what we were doing with the alignment of our pelvis. It was definitely insightful and made me realize I was doing some of the poses incorrectly. Near the end of the class Amy, our yoga instructor, had us attempt the elephant trunk.I

Sunday Spring Swim

Mary took Chrissy and I on a great Sunday adventure. We headed to Angelina National Forest's Boykin Springs for an afternoon of swimming.We found a spot with a picnic table. As you can see we were all like minded enough to bring snacks. You can't go swimming without snacks! In the back ground you can see our swimming hole. The water at first was warm but quickly changed from warm to cold. As long

I have really been enjoying this weekend. The past week was a pretty hard one so I welcome this free time.For a week that was challenging and long there were many good things that occurred.Tuesday: My friend, G, called me up at work and asked if I felt like dewberry picking after quitting time. I was flattered that he was willing to share his picking spot with me. :) We split the berries and I

Weekend Stuff-I'm an excellent dog walker.-Saturday morning yoga to be followed by a brunch that offers vegetarian fare and mimosas rocks my socks.-Going to a matinee and eating greasy popcorn with my honey is worth the calories. Oh and seeing Hugh Jackman as Wolverine almost naked is pretty cool too.-Sunday morning thunder storms are awesome to sleep through if your dog isn't a big scaredy cat

Sunday Shopping

2009-04-26T17:46:00.005-05:00

Advertisement is a dangerous thing especially when it involves my wallet.I bought my first Martha Stewart Living magazine yesterday. I needed raspberry preserve to make some choco raspberry cookies for yesterday's bbq. I saw the new Living mag and decided to go ahead and get it and boy was that an expensive decision.Inside the magazine there was an advertisement for Hoover's stick vacuum and it

When an invitation states that dogs are allowed this crowd doesn't hesitate to bring their furry mates. K and I regretted not bringing Josie. At the same time we were okay with that too because all of these dogs were muddy and smelling pretty rank ten minutes into the BBQ. Only four of the dogs are pictured but I think there were six or seven all together. It's only 7-something and I think I

Today is one of those days where I want to just hide under my desk and take a nap. Remember George building a nappy nest under his work desk in Seinfeld? It's really not a bad idea.
