What A Weekend ...

Happy late Valentine's Day ladies (and gent)!!!  Holy weekend.  We really didn't have too eventful of a weekend (and, of course, I didn't take pictures ... well, with people in them anyways ...) but it feels like, with the snow and Valentines Day, that it's been a "long time no blog" kind-of-a-feel ... SO that being said.  Let's get caught up, shall we?  Friday night (after the Great Snow of Texas 2010 ... seriously I feel like I might be telling my grandkids about how long ago, there was ONE day that Texas got 10 inches of snow.  And they will look at me like I've lost it and never believe me.  Unless they write about it in the Texas History books, which considering as much snow as we got, would not be surprising ...) me and the mister did a whole lotta nada.  Which was nice.  We snuggled up in our jammies and enjoyed being "snowed in" (even though the snow was starting to melt and look slushy on the roads, like I said before, doesn't. happen. in Texas, we hold on as long as we can ...)     The next morning, my mommasita called me and asked if I would like to meet her for a mani/pedi & Starbucks.  Translation "Would you like me to TREAT you to a mani/pedi & Starbucks."  DOUBLE SCORE:  Time with my favorite lady on the PLANET AND treated to a (DESPERATELY NEEDED) mani/pedi while toting my daily fix in hand?  Um, no thought necessary, yes please!  You will all be pleased to hear that I STILL am acrylic-less.  Even though my hands have a bit of "chew wear and tear" they aren't as bad as they have been in the past.  AND I found the coolest grey/brown/goes-with-everything OPI color and I. LOVE. IT.

(Isn't it so pretty?  It's called "You Don't Know Jacquis")

I also got my eyebrows waxed.  Apparently I need to avoid waxing.  For.ev.er.  But don't worry, this time I wasn't worried about losing a brow.  I was worried about the WAX that the sweet little Vietnamese lady GOT IN MY BANGS!  Are you KIDDING me!?!?  I pushed them back several times to avoid said happening.  But then, the inevitable happened.  And I felt her trying to pull it out of my hair.  And that's when the panic attack happened (internally of course) and I thought "I have wax in my bangs.  I have to go home.  I don't have time, I have errands to run, Valentines to deliver.  I am going to have to deliver my Valentines looking like Cameron Diaz in "Something About Mary".  Awesome.  But.  I sucked it up.  And then.  I proceeded to run 500 errands.  In my VS sweats.  A scarf.  My "Something About Mary" bangs ... and flip flops.  YES.  Flip flops.  Faux paux of the century.  Not flip flops, per se, but flip flops when the HIGH is 41 degrees.  With sweats.  And a scarf.  But I had no choice!  I'd just had a pedicure!  Didn't everyone KNOW that?!?  And don't worry.  By the end of the day I was one nasty look away from hanging a sign around my neck that said "I just had a pedicure, I don't NORMALLY wear flip flops in 40 degree weather, DON'T JUDGE ME!!!"

My next errand including running to deliver flowers to my grandma's for Valentine's Day.  I went to my Mamo's first because I was closer to her house.  After I dropped her flowers off she asked if I would do her a favor and drop off a birthday card to a ladies luncheon that she couldn't attend because she wasn't feeling well.  Because I "looked so cute" ... Um, Mamo?  Looking cute is the opposite end of the spectrum of what I look like right about now.  Do I need to explain to you all again?  VS sweats, a scarf, NO MAKE UP, day-old washed hair w/ "Something About Mary" bangs ... and the flip-flop faux-paux ... But she insisted that I looked adorable (her pain medicine must've been kicking in) and asked me to run on over.  I obliged her and show up to a house FULL of adorable little ladies and their husbands.  I ring the doorbell and one of them, Marci, opens the door and raves about how cute (she must be on pain meds too) I look and that she didn't recognize me because of my bangs (i.e. code for head-to-toe faux paux) and proceeds to WHISK me into this house-full of my Mamo's precious, very well-dressed friends and ... ask me ... to have ... cake.  At the head of the table.  With the birthday girl.  WHO'S, by the way, nieces, nephews, grandkids, kids their dogs, their friends dogs and everyone that she has known in her life I think were there ... I can only imagine they are all thinking "What cat dragged THAT in and WHY DOES SHE HAVE ON FLIP FLOPS?!?!  Not to mention, what's in her bangs?"  Thankfully they were all as hospitable as they could be and I hurried out of there as FAST as possible.

That night, my mister got invited to play poker and I got the "best wife ever" award and told him to go have fun and play.  The night before Valentine's Day.  I'm not bitter.  No seriously this time I'm REALLY not.  He had a great time and I got to go to Taco Diner and eat this ...

With THIS cute girl ...

(Miss Kelly of Fabulous K ...)

(I stole this from your FB page K, I hope you're okay with that ... I'm sure you are, being Fabulous and all)  Kelly and I had a FANTASTIC time chatting and drinking Mango Margaritas (mmmm) and THEN heading over to see Valentine's Day (fitting, right?) which was adorable.  Kinda Love Actually-esque.  Even though I liked Love Actually better, it had that kind of feel.

Sunday my mister and I served communion at church, went to lunch at La Madeline (because I LOVES it) and then I proceeded to lay around in my pj's with my Koda Bear all. day. long.  My mister and I didn't get to celebrate our heart day until about 10:30pm due to my mister having some ... issues ... with ... his truck ... being stuck ... in a LOT of mud.  Needless to say he got stuck at 5pm and didn't get home until 10:00-ish.  And even though he was frustrated and freezing after a HUGE ordeal, he came home with these ...

Man.  I'm spoiled.  And until he came home to keep me company, I had this little (big) guy standing in ...

(Pardon the awesome iPhone quality picture ...)

Is he not the CUTEST?  And I don't think it's just cause I'm biased.  Seriously.  Look at that snuggle bug.  I hope you all had GREAT Valentine's weekends!
