weekend recap

i highly recommend the the vip treatment at park on henderson. my college girlfriends and i received it friday night -- lots of attention, free appetizers, and an overwhelming sampling of desserts. all thanks to our single friend, who knew the manager. i ignored the calories and splurged on an apple martini and the chicken-fried steak, yum! got to love girl's nights!

while singing mice and birds did not wake me saturday morning, i did embrace the role of cinderella. something you need to know about me -- when i put my mind to something, i go all out. so, when i realized just how dirty our home had gotten, i tied my hair back with kerchief and got to cleaning. whistling, dancing, belting out taylor swift -- all made the process more enjoyable.

that evening, husband and i attended benefit supporting mission of hope'd efforts in haiti. while media attention has ended, i am so thankful that there are still people providing aid and support. on the way home, we decided to stop by our local blockbuster [who is not on my good side, i'm seriously considering netflix]. everybody's fine was out, so we settled on the time traveler's wife. eh, just okay.


we slept in on sunday and missed church, oops. later in the rainy afternoon, i ventured out for a necessary grocery trip at central market. everyone knows you don't go to central market on sundays [except me and all the other crazies -- i waited 10 minutes at the meat counter]. that evening, i prepared a lovely [if i do say so myself] meal for 4 premarital couples from the class husband and i help out with at watermark. bruschetta, baked ziti, roasted vegetables, and a spinach-apple salad. everyone cleaned their plates, which equals success for this cook. after dinner, i was able to catch the oscars just in time for sandra bullock's acceptance speech -- i hope some day i have a daughter that thanks me for not letting her ride in cars with boys until 18, so sweet.
