Where has the WEEKEND gone?

I can't believe it's already Sunday, y'all. Well, yes I can. Weekends are never long enough.

Here I am - already washing a load of laundry and loving the fact that the sun is SHINING outside...that's a HUGE improvement from Friday's weather washout.

Anyways, here is my weekend wrapup...

• I saw the New Kids on the Block on Friday night, y'all. Yes, I was in boy band heaven! The music took me straight back to the 7th grade. All I was missing was braces and a bad perm. Well, and some tight-rolled jeans, high-top sneakers and tons of hairspray in my hair. Despite the weather (I seriously think a monsoon rolled through town), it was a fun night and I'm so glad I got to spend it with my favorite girls! Pictures & a poorly shot video (hey, it's hard to hold a camera still while you're dancing & jumping up and down while screaming) will be posted soon. I'm sad to say that I have washed my hands - many times - since Friday night, but my left hand will never be the same...I smacked touched Joey McIntyre when he walked by our box.
• On Saturday morning, my favorite Jehovah's Witness, Clinton, came to visit again. Adam was surprised he remembered my name. I countered by saying that I'm a hard girl to forget (in a good way!). Anyways, Adam didn't have the heart to tell Clinton that I was laid up in bed with hardly any voice (thanks to all of that screaming) and that I had a slight hangover (damn all of that draft beer!).
• Adam took the kids to his father's house on Saturday afternoon and I got to sleep. Sleep, oh glorious sleep! I never, EVER get to nap. It's very rare when I do, but I certainly took advantage of the time alone and woke up feeling like a brand, new woman. And, since Adam & the kids were gone...
• I went shopping! It's also a rare treat to go anywhere by myself, so I headed to Wal-Mart, a beach souvenir shop and to the mall. I bought myself a few nice things.
• We had dinner courtesy of the grill last night - NY strip steak & grilled honey BBQ shrimp! There's enough steak & shrimp left over that we're going to have Caesar salads tonight with either steak or shrimp or, hell, maybe both!
• Since the hubs is fishing today (what a big surprise, huh?), I'm half-tempted to take a ride to the outlets in Williamsburg with the kids. I have a coupon for the Coach store and I'm on a search for the perfect pair of bermuda shorts and I think the j.crew outlet might have something for me. I know Malia will be game...it's the other man in my life, Aidan, who isn't too keen on shopping (I guess Daddy should have taken him fishing!).

Just some reminders...

• Kayla is the winner of the Brace Face giveaway - I need your address so I can mail you your cookbooks!

Get out and enjoy the glorious day God has made!

I Get Around

On the Internet people...come on, heads out of the gutter, please & thank you! Sheesh...I'm not THAT kind of a girl.

Really.

I'm not.

Anyways, I am tickled pink by the success of my blog's birthday bash giveaway thus far...there are still five days left to enter and I already have over 70 entries! Nice! Of course, I owe a lot of the "love the love" love (you following me?) to YOU! Thank you to each & every one of you who has blogged about it, added it to your sidebar, twitted about it, entered it...you know who you are! It is my hope that all of the upcoming giveaways I have planned will meet the same (early) success.

Since I'm such a fan of "lovin' the love" please check out MY sidebar for a few giveaways taking place in the blogosphere and keep your eyes peeled for more to be added (Blogger is acting really wonky tonight and I'm also up way past my bedtime). Enter the giveaways...they are fun, you "meet" new bloggy friends and you honestly have nothing to lose!
