after finishing my last post, i started researching what my honey and i were going to do during the day on saturday. i got lost in the internet and the tiredness took over! so, here it is monday and what a monday it was...dentist appointment for isabella, quick lunch, dance class, home for sophia's nap while i worked on invitations. there was laundry and dishes somewhere in the mix and then off to isabella's registration for cheerleading! and dinner w/ family. phew...and now blogging while the black ink settles deeeeep in my hair, ha!
so, while that is going on, i want to share my fun weekend spent w/ my hubby as we celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary (which is really tomorrow). he had planned on taking friday off but after having to take days off work for the awesome plumbing dilemas, he went to the office. i was then able to relax a little w/ a much-needed (they always are) pedicure w/ my mom. we then had lunch and did a little shopping. see, i
can relax!
that night we went to dinner and a movie w/ mary and her hubby. we went to star cinema grill which is a great place to eat while watching a flick. genious! jason and i split an array of appetizers (i like variety) and watched "the ides of march" which honestly wasn't that great.
we had grand plans of waking up saturday, eating breakfast and enjoying a cup of coffee uninterrupted AND THEN going to a farmers market in the city. welllll, that didn't quite go as planned. we had a quick breakfast, coffee in a to-go cup and hit-up...TIMES UP, gotta rinse my black locks...okay, i'm back...where was i? oh yes, our oh-so-romantic trip to the nearest garden ridge and hobby lobby. no lie, this is the second time i've taken jason to hobby lobby while we were on a date, lol.
"hobby lobby is the women's home depot" --mr. dandy
after fun times at the stores (and really, good times were had by BOTH mr. & mrs. burkhalter), we drove into houston and had lunch at an awesome restaurant i discovered online when reading about the farmers market.
beaver's is the name and yummy food and drinks is there game! for those that live in the area (which is most of you, except my readers from germany, india, etc...hello btw!), you should check out beaver's. we had, again, an array of delicious bites which included some sandwiches named "sloppy sandy's" and i thoroughly enjoyed a "tia rosey" (which is, next to mr. dandy's, was the best margarita i have ever had!).
very cool decor and motown playing through the speakers
after a good time there we drove to our hotel...and let me just say, was a horrible drive as we were detoured b/c of construction. i made the mistake of leaving the restaurant w/o using the restroom and there were of course speed bumps found on the back roads :/ jason tells me that this experience would be good for my blog. thanks mister.
we checked into the fab hotel, strolled the nearby shops...
urban outfitters
papersource....L-O-V-E
went back to our room and sassied up...
and then experienced a mouth-watering meal at
eddie v's. again, given the opportunity you MUST go. best bites of the evening? an off-the-menu bone-in steak cooked medium rare and truffled macaroni and cheeeeeeeese...
we were treated a dessert of our choice...blacberry cobbler topped w/ mexican vanilla bean ice-cream **nom, nom, nom**
we strolled back to our hotel where a live band was playing in the hotel bar. a little dancing, a little fire and a nightcap.
cheers, mr. dandy ;)
