Girls Afternoon Out

Today I had a couple of school errands to run and one led me all the way down to where my friend Sandy lives. This is a rare occurrence because we live thirty minutes apart. We usually have to make plans to meet, but today fate brought us together. I went to her house and then I persuaded her to go with me to Sonic for a snack. Here are some pics of us at Sonic.


Before our order arrived.....


....After our order arrived!


Sandy's cheesestick


My cheesestick

Refreshed from our snack, we ventured to the Home Depot. I bought a new sprayer so I can spray my yard with round up to kill the grass behind my fence that I HATE to cut! Sandy purchased a few items for her yard project. It will look so good when finished because it already looks great now! After Home Depot, we traveled to Old Tyme Pottery. We decided not to purchase anything, which is amazing for us. Then on back to the house for a little Wii Mario Cart! It was so fun. For a pic of me driving, click here. It was super fun.

Mr. D came home from work and was famished so we decided to travel to a couple of restaurants. Sandy and I decided we wanted Popeyes. Well, Paul was driving and didn't know what to order so he drove up so I could order from the back seat. Here are some pics of our hilarious adventure.


This is me ordering.


This is me waiting to pay.


These are the "singles" that Sandy threw at me to pay for her part of the check.


This is a horrible pic of me but it is so funny I had to post it. Sandy said "suck in your gut" and so I did. Well apparently that makes everything else bigger! That is a yummy pic of our dinner.

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow!

I got my hair cut on Saturday! I love it. Here are some pics. I know they are incredibly late, but I've been preoccupied.


This is after blow dry but before straight iron.


This is after I straightened it.

Sandy is disgusted with me!

Sandy was going to do her Thursday Thirteen about randomness, but then several things I told her upset her terribly, so she decided to vent about me instead. Please click here to read her post.

Samantha Who?

I LURVE this show! If you have never seen it or if you have missed some episodes, go to abc.com and catch up! It is awesome! This show makes me smile :)

Game Night!

I invited a few girls over for a night of fun, food, and games! I decided that we should have pork carnitas, chips, salsa, cheese dip, and brownies! Of course brownies fit with the Mexican theme! Duh! Carrie went with me to the Mercado to order this delightful dish because I do not speak the espanol! Kudos to Carrie!

Ashley and Katie Jane also came to play games. Yea! We decided to play Scrabble, which I believe is unfair because we were playing with a librarian. However, a fun time was had by all. The best part was when three of us used the same word and kept adding to it to form another word. Quest began this adventure, which led to question and then on to questioning. The fourth person wanted to make questioningly but didn't have the appropriate letters :(

We watched American Idol because it was Andrew Lloyd Webber night. I haven't watched AI this season so I do not know these people, but I LURVE A.L.W. so I decided to watch it tonight. They were ok performances. Everyone was in agreement that A.L.W. pants were fabulous!

Thanks to my good friends who came to my house tonight! I had a blast and I can't wait for another fun filled game night!

Nice surprise!

Tomorrow, my last four classes of the day are on a field trip! Yea! And it just so happens that I earned 2 hours of early leave time for attending Open House this summer!!!!!! I get to leave work at 1 p.m. and not have to take any sick or personal time AND I'm not missing any class time! WooHoo!

I think I should use this time to get my oil changed. I also have a couple friends coming over so I could get ready for them too!

Super fun times!

Good morning

I visited a new church this morning. They had an early service at 8:30 a.m. I LOVE early service! I had a whole day after church and it was even an hour and a half long! The sermon was great, about needing water to live and that the spiritual water is the holy spirit. You can not just expect to receive it without asking (worshipping) for it. It won't just happen without work. This "river" provides peace and power in your life. How true.

After church, I went to McD's for a biscuit and then on to the grocery. I had a list, but it was not nearly complete. After the grocery, I went to a couple of places looking for the "Wizard of Oz" for a lesson this week. I hope the lesson is as cool as I think it will be. It is for kindergarten and they are going to compare and contrast three different versions of the song "Over the Rainbow."

I drove home, unloaded the car, put up groceries, changed clothes, and have been on the phone or internet since. It is only 2 p.m. I feel accomplished! If I had gone to a normal service time (11 a.m.), I would probably still be at the grocery right now! I always take so long at the grocery.

I think I might go eat some lunch and wash some clothes.

I hope your day is wonderful!
