For GREAT t.v.! Forget taking a nap when all the old classic movies are on.... "For Keeps" was just on and now "Pretty in Pink"!

Itsa' Monday...

Besides the weather being gloomy, I am loving today!

The high for today is going to be 72... which is a whole helluva lot different then what it was on Saturday.. a nice humid 98 degrees!

I love the fall, and everything that comes with it!

And you know what make it even better? I am getting off early today! Holla! =)

Chris, and I were suppose to go out of town, but that didn't happen, so I decided to take a half day anyways. =)

******

First thing on my list when I get off is to take a nap!!! I have been so exhausted lately.

And then Chris and I are going suit shopping.

Chris is like a girl, when something comes up that requires him to dress up he has to rush out and get something new. So since we have a wedding this weekend to go to, and then his nieces christening at the end of September.... a suit shopping we must go!

~~~~~

Here is a quick run down of my weekend for ya....

Friday:

Chris finally arrived home @ 2:30. He gets out of the car and none the less carrying a case a Bud Light Lime. Which then leads us to play quarters (I am getting better at this useless game).

I was pretty much dunzo by 3:20, when we ran out of beer. The guys went to store to get more subliminal's, while I took a nap.

Woke up to Burger King for dinner, and then went and played cornhole with a few of his friends.

Saturday:

Went to the beach with a group of friends. Chris surfed, which he was stoked there were actually decent waves (BIG thanks to T.S. Danny!

After the beach we went and met his softball buddies and their wives at their sponsers resturant and had a fabulous dinner.

Chris and I both had....

Chicken Cabernet - sauteed with mushrooms, onions and tomatoes in a cabernet reduction with fresh
mozzarella cheese and garnished with bacon crumbles

here is my take on it...

Imagine a little toastini with fresh mozzarella, and then a bite size piece of chicken, smoothered in a yummy sauce.... x's 5 of those little fella's = delicious (And they are probably really easy to make)!

Then headed back over to one of their houses to play cornhole AGAIN! Chris thinks he is "Nasty" at it (Go Figure)!

Sunday:

I did my daily Sunday babysitting routine! Yes, I am almost 30 and still babysitting! I have been babysitting Whitney for almost 16 years now (EHH... really showing my age). She is handicap, so it's totally different and it's a little extra mulla in my pocket.

Finished babysitting at 5:00, went back to Chris' house, rested for a bit and then met two of our friends for dinner at Aldo's!

I normally get the....

FETTUCINE ALFREDO.
Our fresh ribbon noodles tossed with traditional white
sauce, peas & Proscuitto ham ( ~ hold the peas)

but the special they mentioned which was....

FILLETO AL COGNAC.
Hand cut 8 oz.Filet of beef cooked to perfection, topped
with a delicious Cognac and peppercorn sauce and lump crab meat and mushrooms, served with
a side of linguine aglio olio (I substituted the linguine for the fettucine mentioned above).

And to top it off, I left in tote with their homemade apple pie with cinnamon ice cream.

YUM.. YUM.. YUM!

I hope all you had a fantastic weekend too!

Yum Yum Yum

Dinner was great, but I seriously feel like a lard ass! Especially after eating the Red Velvet Cheesecake (No, I didn't eat the whole piece, but it's still staring at me)!

OH HELLS YES....... Dirty Dancing is on! Nothing like a classic move on this stormy night!

Wishing everyone a lovely night! =)

~toddles

Lookey at where this lucky lady is going tonight! With these two fabulous people (My SIL and Nephew). =) And although it's not through marriage anymore (She nor I are married to the brothers anymore)... she is still nothing less then my SIL!

And this is what I have to look forward to this weekend! I mean geez.... looks like the East Coast is bound to get some type of Hurricane this year!
And I am sure Chris is going to be stoked when he gets home because he will actually have waves to surf on.
(early Sat Am.. that is where I am located)

Ahh.... yes, and this stud of a muffin returns sometime tomorrow!

And I think we are going to one of my favorite restaurants tomorrow for dinner it's called Aldo's. They have the BEST Italian food!

Chris emailed me the other night and said they had Taco night on the ship, and that they were awful! And then persisted to tell me he wanted good Italian food so he wanted to go to Aldo's! (Umm... hello, you don't have to twist my arm! I am totally down to go.)


********

So I haven't stuck to my No Carbs... I feel slightly bad about it, but seriously I live for bread, pasta, french fries, chips etc. etc. etc....

My breakfast consisted of Kettle Chips and coffee........

My lunch consisted of Kettle Chips and errr ummm..... 5 pieces of Dove Chocolate (You know the yummy ones with caramel in the middle).

But I strictly ate them for the words of wisdom sayings inside the wrapper!

~ Make someone feel good

~ Happiness is the experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.

~Do all things with love.

~Open your eyes to the love around you.

~ Patience is a virtue.

And all 5 pieces were worth it!

I Want Wednesday....

Chris and I have a Wedding to go to on the September 6th, and what better reason to buy a new dress! =) I think this might be the lucky winner! And it's on sale for $39.00... can't beat that!And to wear these fabulous heels to go with it! Which are on sale too for only $30.00!

30 Day Shed..

If you don't mind me asking..... how many of you out there are doing this? And is it worth it?

From the looks of it, I might be the only person left that hasn't bought this miracle DVD!

~c

ahh...

Although, Chris thinks I need to write him an essay of a letter EVERYTIME I email him while he is out.... and I told him I expect nothing less then 5 lines from his emails....... I love it when he sends me emails with two little words

***** MISS YOU*****

Ahh... just makes my heart melt! Especially when he lets his BIG New York attitude down and is super sweet! =) <3

I can't wait to see his face on Friday!

sweet dreams bloggettes
