Birthday Weekend
 
Wednesday: Celebration began.  Juli's package arrived!  I finally had to put the card away...D was tired of hearing the SW theme everytime I passed the card on the window b/w the kitchen and dining room. :)
 
Friday: The girls at work brought me pretty pressies and Tr�s Leches cake.  Karen gave me a *beautiful* fall floral arrangement that she put together herself.  Left at noon and enjoyed a quiet afternoon at home.  D took me to see TNMBC in 3D after he got home.  It was awesome!  I didn't expect a whole lot from it, but it rocked.  I'll never want to watch it in 2D again. :P
 
Saturday: D snuck out early in the morning and bought me a mushy card and roses.  I slept in and relaxed until about 11.  Then we went into Round Rock and D bought me new boots, matching belt, and new western top.  I love them. :)  We also stopped at a nursery in Leander and both 2 trees for the back yard.  After we got home we watched some TV and rested up for the partying at Grahams.  Mom and Dad, D's Mom, and Jeff came over around 5 and we went to Jardin del Rey for dinner.  After a *very* strong top shelf margarita (thanks, Daddy!), we came home and changed for the club.  Thanks to everyone that came out...it was a BLAST!  I am still tired and sore from all of the dancing and general merry-making, but it's well worth it. :) 
Some shoutouts:
-Thanks to Karen for reserving the tables and dedicating Hollaback Girl to me and for making the night super special.
-Thanks to James for trying to further corrupt me and keep me in trouble.
-Jeff: I hope your first "honky-tonk" experience was a good one and that you'll go again next time.
-Mary, David, Shirley: What troopers for hanging out with us crazy people!
-Linde, Tom, Martha, rest of the work gang: I am so glad you guys all came to the party.   Tom...thanks for the dance.
-Hot Mama Sherry: Next time, don't be late spending all of that time teasing your hair! :)
-Dusty: Thanks for all the dances, Baby, and more importantly...for never letting my glass be empty!
-Lastly, to the group on the far side of the dance floor that encouraged my dancing to Staying Alive early in the evening...bless your hearts!

Seriously...what?
 
Just sent to AlfredAngelo.com -

To whom it may concern:

I was engaged 5 years ago and was on your company's mailing list at that time. Once I was married, I stopped receiving information from your company. In the past 2 weeks, however, I have started receiving large amounts of mail from you again. Almost everyday there is a new flyer that I receive. What is more confusing is that I did not yet live at this address when I was in the process of planning my wedding. Please remove me from your list.

I would also like someone to know that the lady I spoke with at the Austin, Texas store was very polite and helpful, but the lady I spoke to at the 1-800 number was very short with me and not helpful. I apologize that I do not have either person's name.



I realize this may seem like an overreaction to most of you, but it is really annoying to receive bridal flyers when you've been married for 4 1/2 years. I get enough junk mail as it is.

On a related note...anyone want my Marie Claire magazines? I originally ordered Shop, Etc. but that magazine folded and now I am stuck with MC through June. I don't really like MC and have enough magazines to keep up with. I feel bad that they keep going straight into the recycle bin.

Weekend
 
Saturday - Went shopping with Mom Saturday morning. Returned two things to Target that didn't fit from the night before and picked up one of D's Christmas pressies. Then continued to the mall where we found absolutely nothing. I blame it on the mall being in shambles from the remodel of the key stores. They are also messing up the food court. What was once a bright, colorful experience is being turned into another boring normal food court. We finished up the day at Bed, Bath, and Beyond where I did find a few items. Came home and finished the TV shows from last week, and then D and I went to Chilli's for dinner.

Sunday
- Just domestic bliss. Rearranging kitchen cabinets, organizing the pantry, laundry, lounging with the hubby.

AAAAARRRGH!
 
mood: pissed

Damn it! I made a BEAUTIFUL cherry chocolate bundt cake yesterday, perfectly topped with powdered sugar and cherries. I came home from work today, opened the cake holder it was in, and found it *covered* in ants. There was no way to salvage it. #$%^&#!# ants! I use this cake holder all of the time and have *never* had ants get into it. I don't know whether to cry or take revenge on every insect within a 10 mile radius. :\

Weekend in Review
 
Friday evening:

-Dustin took me to the Red Lobster for dinner. I over-indulged BIG TIME. It was the yum, though.

Saturday morning:

-Slept in a bit and then headed over to G'town to go shopping with Mom. I finally placed the custom framing order for the two capitol prints I have that Senator Brown signed. Half price it was $235. :P We ate lunch and then I actually found a few Christmas gifts. I also got a super cute Christmas card address book from Hallmark for $3. Looks like about 50 cards will be going out this year to friends and family. Hopefully, I will have a little newsletter ready to go out before the cards do this year. :P

Saturday evening:

-Date night. D and I went to Alamo Drafthouse and saw Super Bad. It was a lot better than I thought it was going to be. It was also a dirtier than the previews let on. The food was also good as always. We had chips & queso, I had 2 sangrias and the "Wild at Artichoke Hearts" pizza, and D had 2 Tecates and the cheesesteak.

Today:

-Slept in 'til 10. It was fabulous. Then got up and started massive amounts of laundry. Then off to HEB for groceries, and back home to clean floors. D went to Wimberly to deer hunt and will hopefully be home sometime before tomorrow morning. :)

R.I.P. Threadbared
 
I am completely heartbroken. I had not been to Threadbared lately, but I just went to see what the gals had posted, and August 1 was their last post. :( No more crotchet catastrophes, no more macram� madness! What's a girl to do?
