shake your peanut

Sami's Shenanigans
 
I guess I took an official but not so official blog break last week. I still read all of your posts for the most part...but it was kind of nice to have a break and actually be OFF the computer after 5 each day. I spent that time wandering around Trader Joe's and HEB each night. I could spend HOURS in a grocery store. Especially nice fancy ones like TJ's and HEB on W. Alabama. Heaven, I tell ya. Come visit me in Houston and I'll show you the ways.

OH PS - I'm also over here today, go take a look at my honeymoon! http://mykindofyellow.blogspot.com/
 
We weren't going to do anything this weekend, but thanks to a bum arm, we headed to my parent's lakehouse late Saturday night for some R&R. It was much needed.
 
 
1. Sushi date on Friday with a Key Lime Basil something drink. Twas good.
2. Every Friday deserves champagne. Almond Champagne from TJs? Even better. Then we went to a family friend's house because another friend from FSU was in town. We shook our peanut all weekend like Mickey told us to. Seriously - who writes these kids shows?!
3. We bought our couch! We are in LOVE with it. The quality is amazing - can't wait to have it in the living room!
4. And then we spent 5 hours at Conn's. NOT an exaggeration. But we walked out with a delivery date on a fancy fridge, so I call it a win. It's really hard to see all the super fancy fridge's and then pick a less fancy one. So of course we went with the newest and fanciest one they had. We HAD to.
5. Sweet tat I saw while at Conn's. It says Conceited. Whyyyyyy would you tattoo that on your body?!
6. Late night lakehouse snack.
7. Late night booze cruise turned drinking on the dock due to the wind. That green light is this super fancy light that attracts all the fish - it's like you have your very own aquarium right there!
8. Rope swing jumps for A. I never actually got IN the water.
9. Late night Bowden + Max snuggles. Bowden was in heaven all weekend.
 
Bowden is such a lake dog. I'm hoping he will be a beach dog, too!
 
I mentioned a bum arm earlier - and unfortunately it's still hurting. We think (because I'm 80) that it's Carpel Tunnel. Whenever we are all moved in, I'll be investing in a higher chair and some wrist support for my keyboard...because laugh all you want, but this shiz is PAINFUL.
 
I'm going to be a better blogger this week and blog every day. Tomorrow we will talk cake cutting! And champagne chugging. Is it a bad thing that somehow all of my posts involve champagne?

  5. Carpel tunnel is the worst. I got it right after I had my first son, Charlie. I enjoyed your post over at Kayla's today. Seriously made me want to go back to my honeymoon spot!

  8. I took a little break too -- felt so good! For me, it was nice to regroup and remember why I started blogging in the first place, for myself!

    Hope your arm gets better!

  10. Stupid arm! Could it be tendonitis from the keyboard and such? That's the fun shit I have going on right now and for the last six months or so. Really, it's such a treat and I just lurve it!..... waaaaaaah.

    But seriously, when are you buying me a plane ticket to Houston so I can come hang out on your pretty couch and drink cold bevvies out of your fancy fridge? Like next week? K, perfect. :)
