Tuesday (My new favorite day)

Tuesdays are wonderful. We have decided to take that night and make it a fun night to do whatever we want. We can go eat, or go skating, or see a movie, or whatever our little hearts desire. Tonight is dinner at PF Changs (I freakin love this place) and then mabe headed to the bookstore for a little browsing. Elaina and I love books and we could spend hours in bookstores.

This past weekend I went to my parents and helped take care of Lauren and Allison. It was so much fun and we only hit a few kinks and only had a few screaming fights. Nothing that I am not used to or can't handle. I love my nieces and family so much and wish I could see the girls every weekend. It is gonna be about 4 weeks until I get to see them again :(

This weekend I am headed to Dallas to do some more wedding planning with Katie. Man, I wish she lived closer...I swear we would be attached at the hip... Kristin too. We could be quite the trio.

Random Thoughts and Facts

1. Katie found her dress. Sad I missed it but very glad she has that out of the way. I will be going down there next weekend so we can start the bridesmaid shopping.

6. I love my dog.
7. I have a great life and am thankful for so many things.

9. I am really into running right now. I hope it stays that way.
10. I have a routine that I follow every morning and I don't like to change it.

Wicked

Wicked was so good last night! The show was sold out.. not an open seat in the house. My mom, grandma, and I went and my mom and I loved it while my grandma (Deeya as we call her) did not like it. No wait let me clarify, she said she "hated" it. She couldn't understand the words and she thought it was awful. Oh well, we liked it and had a great time anyway!

Not too much on the agenda this weekend. Having some Happy Hour drinks with my friend Julie after work today and then hopefully hitting the hay early tonight. I need to accomplish a lot tomorrow. Laundry, cleaning house, birthday party, store, wash car, maybe do a little retail therapy :)

Flashback to the Old Days

Thank goodness it is Thursday.. one day away from my relaxing, solitude-filled weekend. Both the roomies are out of town so it is just me and the 2 doggies (God rest Bailiff's soul).

Sophie really enjoys the weekends like this cause she gets the star treatment. She gets to sleep in and she gets a bath. She also gets to spend a lot of time in the house following me around. Her favorite exercise regimine is to follow me from room to room.

Last weekend was supposed to be "Girls Night" but my friend Billy threw the dynamic off a little. That was ok though cause Billy is hilarious and we love having him around.
We went to dinner and then hit up the dance floor at Grey Snail. Oh and if you are in the Tulsa area and have not eaten Don Fransico's on 11th and Pittsburgh, you need to. Best guacamole in town.


Tuesday, the roomies and I decided to hit up the skating rink in Sand Springs. We had so much fun! I will post some pics as soon as I can. It was about 100 degrees in the place and we were sweating and skating and dancing to the music! I thought I would fall but I picked it back up pretty easily. It was a great night with the roomies and we were glad to get out and do something different.

Tonight, my mom and grandma and I are headed to the Tulsa PAC to see Wicked. I am really really excited. I have heard great things about it!

Chaperone

Last night I hung out with my two little friends Riley and Jack while their parents enjoyed the Aerosmith concert. I picked Jack up and took him out to Riley's house and when I got there he has brushed his teeth, combed and gelled his hair, and was so excited he could hardly stand it. You see, Jack and Riley have been an item for about 2 years now. My first class at St. Johns included Riley and Jack. Riley was 9 months old and Jack was 12 months old. So essentially I was a chaperone on a date for these two. At one point in the night, Jack came running out of the bedroom and said "Heather help me, Riley is trying to kiss me." Too cute!

Here are some pics of my two classes at St. John's. You can see Riley and Jack together in one. Look how tiny Riley was... I was holding her up with my knee cause she was so little.

And here are 2 pics we took last night:

Ignore the small black spot on the pics... that just popped up on my camera and I think my lens may be scratched. Guess I will have to start making my Christmas list.

Oh and yes, notice the new bangs. They are cut straight across and they have been somewhat controversial! Some people really love them and others just kinda look at me and say... "Oh, you cut your hair." My niece Lauren does not prefer them. She made that clear :)

Tonight I am relaxing at home and cleaning in preparation for this weekend. Saturday morn I am getting up early and watching Laina do a run and helping babysit (wrangle) her 18 month old nephew Winfield. He's so cool and Laina has requested that I teach him to say "sup".

Hope everyone has a grand weekend! Talk to you suckas on Monday!

123 Louie

Here are some pics from the weekend at Grammy and Pappy's. The girls enjoyed swimming and dancing to their new favorite song "All the Single Ladies" (said with a lisp by Allison).

We had so much fun painting toenails, giggling in bed watching "The Nanny", and doing Aunt Heather's hair.

Enjoy the pics and video!

Allison and Jordyn (note Allison's crazy hair and the crazy look in Jordyn's eyes)

All tuckered out from the day of swimming

Taking a nap on Daddy

Explanation of video: When we went to Dallas a few weeks ago, Allison thought Katie's fiance's name Louie was hilarious. She laughed everytime she said it. She also likes to cross her eyes and look up at her eyelashes for a really goofy look. She started saying "123 Louie" and crossing her eyes and I had to catch it on video.

My Week Long Agenda

Yay! I get to blog during the week! My boss is out of town the rest of the week so I can take a few minutes and put my thoughts on paper (or screen, actually!).

This Weekend:
Had a good time on Friday night. Ate some quick sushi (nothing too gross... it actually had fried shrimp in it) and then hit a few places with Amanda, Ozzie, Chevy, and Billy. I used my whole day Saturday to sleep and rest and then cleaned my entire house. Even though I get really tired of being the only one that cleans, there is something that I really do enjoy about it. I love to see something dirty become clean. I really love to sweep the floors and watch all the dirt and dust make a big pile. Weird, I know.

Monday:
I was really dragging yesterday. I even drank some coffee, which I never do. Had a busy work day (that seems to be the theme of my life these days) and then hit the gym, ate some delish dinner, watched some TV (Intervention & Obsessed were a let down) and read some of Eclipse before bed.

Tuesday:
Today I go to get my hair done. I think I am gonna do something a little different and I am a little nervous. But my hair lady is great and I know she will make me look fab!

Wednesday:
Wed kicks off my housesitting/dogsitting week(end). They live out in Jenks and I am looking forward to a little alone time with Lucy (their doggie) and Sophie (my doggie).

Thursday:
I think I might go visit my friend Kara this night. She just moved to Jenks not too long ago and I haven't seen her house or her adorable son on way too long.

Friday:
Headed to the parents after work to see my sweet nieces. It has been almost a month since I have seen them and I don't like that at all.

Saturday:
Hanging out all day with the fam. Headed back to Tulsa that evening for Dfest and to see an old high school friend that will be in town.
