Girls Weekend

I had SO MUCH fun this weekend! My mom came down to spend some quality girl time with me. Here are just some of the highlights (aka places we took pictures)

Friday Night...We went to Spring Creek for some tasty BBQ and then came home and got all the Fighting Back shirts and Newmie Bands packaged up to ship out. (I'm sporting the shirt in this picture in case you needed a model) 

Saturday Morning we woke up at 6:00 am to get ready for my 5th grade fundraiser...an Applebee's Pancake Breakfast. It was great fun and the food was oh, so tasty. 

Next stop...PEDICURES! We had to get our feet ready for our day FULL of shopping. We headed out to Southlake's Town Square...It is so beautiful out there and the shopping is heavenly. 

Have you ever heard of these? Nothing Bundt Cake? OMG! To die for bundt cakes. If you ever come across one of their stores, you HAVE to stop and try one. 

Today was great. Went to church, ate at La Madeline (yum!) a little more shopping and then got ready for the big Remix tomorrow. We had a great time! I wish we could do it more often...Love you mom!

Get Ready...

 

I'm going to try this out again. We will see how it goes. Anyone want to join Kendi Everyday and the new 30/30 Challenge?!? Look for details here.

I will post my 30 items tomorrow.

How Dare You Take My HGTV!

Are any of you AT&T UVerse customers?
Have you noticed HGTV is no longer there?

I thought it was a little weird last night as I turned it to my usual fall asleep show (aka HOUSE HUNTERS) and it was a TLC show. Then today I hear the devastating news...AT&T took HGTV, Food Network, DIY and a few other channels off of their line up WITH NO WARNING!  Apparently, AT&T and Scripps Network aren't able to reach a money agreement so we get punished...oh, and no chance of a credit for the channels, we are paying for. I am so M.A.D.!!!!

If you have UVerse (or even if you don't) please go to this site and sign their little petition. We have GOT to get these back...

No Wonder...

I just saw a report on the news tonight and thought I'd share...

Cost of 1,000 Calories
Nutritious Food = $18.16
Junk Food = $1.76

No wonder I can't ever lose weight...because it's cheaper to be fat. :)

Until next time...

Happy Halloween

In case you can't tell I was a last minute Hippie. I literally got ready in 5 minutes while my friends we're waiting on me. 

Happy Halloween. Don't come to my house...I will be at the Ranger's Block Party. :)

Five on Friday

Thank you Southwest Airlines and their 72 hour sale! I booked 2 tickets to New Orleans in December for a whopping $73 a piece (round trip folks!) HOLLER! I've never been, unless you want to count the drive thru tour I got when I was younger. I am now looking for a good hotel, close to the French Quarter...any suggestions? Any recommendations on what to do? We will be there for 3 days.

The World Series hits Ag-Town this weekend. I'm not sure what the plans are...but I will definitely be in the mix...taking it all in...experience my first World Series. I am not ashamed to say that I am a complete bandwagoner. We're out to a rough start, but maybe we'll turn it around when they return home. Win or Lose...we made it to the 'ship!

This weekend is Halloween. I'm going to have to say...I'm glad I'm not a kid in these parts this year. There is a Cowboys (home) game AND a World Series game ON Halloween. I'm thinking it might be a little tough getting the parentals away from the TV to take you Trick-or-Treating this year kids. Depending on the time of these games, I may or may not have my porch light is on. :) It is also Harper's FIRST Halloween. I wish I could be in Arkansas trick or treating tonight...how cute is she?!?

I have THE itch for a new car. I have had my car for 5 years now which is unheard of! I usually switch it up every 1 1/2- 2 years, but I just love my car. This time around, I want the gadgets and the luxury. Navigation and the bluetooth calling is a MUST. Leather and sunroof is a close second. Here is the car I LOVE, but I'm not quite convinced yet I'm ready to pay the gas on this baby.

I'm pretty sure I will be at Old Navy this weekend. Check out their sale (now through November 4th) $29 pea coats! I think I need one. I'm actually VERY allergic to wool, but I seem to always think I need a pea coat every year. Funny. 

Ranger's Spirit

I am just so excited that all these fun sporting events are happing right here where I live! It is so much fun tying math into it all. As you may know, we are not only hosting the Superbowl this year but now the WORLD SERIES! So my post today will be FILLED of pictures (there is your warning)

I must confess, I am no baseball fan but I've totally jumped on the bandwagon. (but who hasn't around these parts)

I even bought myself a shirt! This was a process. Seeing that I wasn't a baseball fan 2 weeks ago I had to figure out which shirt I was going to sport. I originally was going to pick the cutest player...It was a toss up between Elvis Andrus, Ian Kinsler and Josh Hamilton. Then I happened to remember seeing Hamilton as part of the I am Second campaign and loved him immediately. He has the greatest story and I <3 him! You can hear his testimony here.

IT'S TIME! Claws and Antlers baby!!! So the Rangers do these fun gestures during the games. It was supposed to be something silly the players did on the field but the fans have embraced it and taken it to a whole different level. So what is Claws and Antlers? This is what the newspaper says...When a Texas player does something positive offensively he'll acknowledge his feat with a "claw," fingers slightly curled with his arm extended in a rising swoop. The "antlers" -- hold both hands open above the ears to imitate a deer -- come about after something speed-related. I know you can't really see this well, but all the kids made faces with their "antlers up." They turned out really cute.

And here is our hallway in 5th grade. We mapped out where each Ranger is from on the map. Then today in math they made baseball cards. The had to find each players batting average (with calculators, of course) and they LOVED it! Below is my card :)

Please notice the tattoos. lol.

Now if they could just WIN. We had a rough game last night. Surely it was just World Series jitters. Hopefully they come to play tonight. Hopefully. :)
