Saturday

What a productive Saturday! I got up early (okay 8 am) cooked eggs and toast for my boys since DS was having a soccer game later that morning. I met my friend LC to get our spa pedicure and catch up on the latest gossip and news from work. We both work at opposite ends of our school and rarely see each other, so it was a real treat! Thanks LC!

Then I hurried to the soccer game, which they won 8-0. I hope the boys have another awesome year! My DS made a goal and did a great job passing the ball to other team members. We had lunch at one of our favorite burger joints. DH had to go downtown for the Astros game, so DS and I went to Toys R US looking for littlest nieces birthday gift. My sister finally decided to celebrate her birthday. She turned one in August. We got her a toddler swing for the swing set that my siblings and I enjoyed growing up. My sister got the swing set when she moved into her home and had the first grand baby between her and I.

Before going out to the party DS and I came home to watch Breakfast at Tiffany's. One of my favorite movies. I just love Audrey Hepburn. Her style, elegance and how great she looks. DS wasn't too interested in the movie and found something else to due shortly after it started. BOYS! The party was fun and we had a great time.

Also, I want to share with you another thrifty find. I found these bushel baskets and can't wait to fill them with fall foliage. I will be heading to the garden store soon. When I get them filled, I will show you. I must admit I got the idea from the very talented and creative Tina at Cherry Hill Cottage. She had found some earlier in the month and I had been searching for some at my thrift stores. Please go visit Cherry Hill Cottage, just click on her link in my Daily Inspirations, when you get a chance.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Happy Friday!

The shoe of choice for today. Not very pretty but so comfortable! Took Maggie to Doggy Day Care this morning. She loves playing with the other dogs and is very tired when we pick her up. Which is great because she is so exhausted that she can't chew anything up. Took DS to tutoring and while he was there I met my friend LC to get pedis and manis.

These were the two colors I picked today. I got Sweet Heart, the one on the left, for my nails and California Raspberry on my toes. I love this color. I also got a chair massage while there today. It felt so good. Now my friend and I are all ready for tomorrow night. We have been invited to a Quinceanera. This is the second one I have ever been invited too. We are going and it should be lots of fun with food and dancing. More about it later this weekend. Most of my girlfriends will be there as well. Angie, the honoree, is the daughter of a friend at work, so it will be nice to see familiar faces since we have been off for the summer. Later in the day we ran some errands and then made a stop at Baskin Robbins. I think we will have to make this a weekly visit. There were some interesting flavors that I want to try. The rain came again today. I think we may be all starting to grow web feet. This has been the wettest summer that I can ever remember. I will have to look this information up! So not much time outside or swimming.

Have a great weekend!

Today not much excitement happened. While getting ready this morning my friend LC called and asked if I would like to go get manis and pedis? Would I? Oh yes! I was long over due in this department. I went with a sheer color on my nails, Pillow Talk by OPI and had the punch of color on my toes with the color above, Tropical Punch by OPI. Did you catch that humor? I have been trying different colors each time I go this summer. I am a girl of habit. I like my usual so I am branching out and having so much fun. LC and I have so much fun looking at all the pretty colors of nail polish displayed on the spinning rack at the place that we visit. Also, we get a chuckle at reading all the labels on the bottom of the bottles. We are easily entertained! The place we go charges $35 for both services. I love the massage chair and they have hot stones they rub on your arms and legs. It was a great pick me up. Thanks LC for calling this morning.

I did the above while DS was in tutoring. When he was finished, we went to the YMCA so that he could swim. Today the lifeguards were very whistle friendly. They kept blowing those dang whistle while I was reading and it was very annoying! I had a run in with one of the lifeguards awhile back and she walks way around me or doesn't even look at me now. She tried to tell me that I was doing something wrong when I wasn't and I had to go complain at the front desk so now she knows not to mess with me!

Hope your week is going well!
