Weekend Recap - Picture overload

Happy Monday my friends! How was your weekend?  Ours was very nice and relaxing but way too short as always.  Here are a few pictures of  the project I have been working on for my son's room and finally finished on Saturday.  It turned out pretty good if I do say so myself! :o)  He is very proud of it and couldn't wait to get it up to his room so he could get his computer and other stuff in it and his room more organized. For some reason it is still missing a couple of knobs that I need to get more of.  I think only 1 or 2 but since this was a FREEBIE it's perfect until next weekend when I can get more for it.  Also, I used Martha Stewart High Gloss paint but don't have the exact color with me right now - will update the color later if anyone is interested.  Needless to say, it is very very nice in person and looks great! :o)

Different view - which makes it look gray instead of the black that it is:

On Saturday me and my girlfriend had a wonderful kid free, husband free day and went shopping and hanging out and then went to a little restaurant on the lake and sat down and enjoyed a couple of nice cold drinks (aka Mojitos and Malibu Bay Breezes) and snacks (aka Buffalo Bites) and then we took the party to my house and had an even better time.  Here are a few pictures from our fun night too.  We even broke out the old 45's and played a few records on the old record player. :o)

Our friend and his wife too had so much fun they even broke through our patio chairs - LOL (Seriously, these chairs were so old that it didn't take much at all - my brother-in-law actually did the same thing last August to the one he was sitting in.  I am the only one who hasn't gone through the last one yet! HA!

My favorite girl:

Daddy and boo-boo (his nickname for our daughter)

Me and hubby (he was acting goofy as usual) (I was so tired - could you tell)

Our goofy friend

Our goofy friends being silly (we were trying to take a picture and they kept jumping in it - LOL)

Me and my favorite baby girl:

Thursday, Weight Watchers and Weekend Update (late)

Hello my friends! How are you?  We are almost to the end of the week again - finally.  YAY! :o)  We are expecting rain here for the next 2 or 3 days off and on which will wreak havoc on me completing my son's desk - darn it.  Anyway, I offiically broke down and joined Weight Watchers online yesterday and I've already lost 1.5 lbs! WOO HOO! I'm sure it is water weight but maybe it's not - who knows.  I am excited regardless! LOL  Also, thank you all for your sweet and kind words yesterday - and for those who don't know - I am only 5'3" so I am short and petite and 135 is NOT a good weight for me - my normal range is 115 to 118 so I have a "few" pounds to lose as you can see.  Speaking of losing - looks like I lost a reader yesterday - :o(((   I always hate when that happens, but whatcha gonna do - right?  I promise I will catch up with your blogs soon - life has just been crazy busy lately and I've got to get better at preparing my posts the night before and scheduling them so that I actually have the time each morning to comment on your blogs - so please give me a little slack um kay?! Thanks!  Cause I lurve each and every one of you guys and do not mean to be a bad bloggy friend at all.

On another note - here are a few pictures from our holiday weekend.  We had a great time as you can see! Can you tell we are a volleyball family?! LOL  Both my kids play on the high school team - they have a girls and a boys volleyball team here and they L.O.V.E. every minute of it and are actually very good at it as well. :o)

My son and his guitar (the woman in the background I had just met - she has an AWESOME voice and really should try out for American Idol - she was UNBELIEVEABLE to say the least!

Our friend, Bob, playing with the baby's toy guitar - ha!

Me and the baby (also just met - have no idea of his name - I forgot - oops) but he sure was a cutie pie and he loved me for some reason! He would come to me before he went to his parents - HA!

Me and my bestie, Kathy sharing a YUMMERS Strawberry Margarita.  I lurve this woman - she is such a wonderful person and SO sweet!  Can you tell how hot we were that day? It was quite hot and humid to say the least.

Well, as Porky Pig used to say - that's all folks! hee hee hee -- Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by.  I'm off to check out some of your blogs this morning while I have 10 minutes to spare! :o)
