Weekend!

This weekend we went to Hot Springs. It was a wonderful weekend away and we stayed at a Bed and Breakfast for the first time. It was called Lookout Pointe and was right on the Lake.

We had an awesome view, great room and WONDERFUL breakfast! We were very spoiled!

While we were in Hot Springs we went downtown and ate at the Historic Arlington Hotel, where
Al Capone's car was parked in the Lobby.

Here are some pictures of the Bath Houses.

We ate at Chef Paul's restaurant, which for a small town was very upscale. Today we went to Garvin Gardens, unfortunately my camera was out of batteries so no pictures of it.

Goals

I bought a new Southern Living cookbook last week. On Sunday I decided my goal for the next few weeks would be to try some new recipes. So I went to the grocery store and bought all the ingredients.

Here is whats on the menu-
Last Night I made Parmisian Tilapia, Rosemary Red Potatoes and Asparagus

Thursday I am making Praline Pecan Chicken

Also up ahead-

Bannana Coconut Muffins

White chicken Chili

The meal last night turned out great, so lets hope the rest do as well!

The 27th Bday

Happy BIRTHDAY BABE!!!!
I love you!!!

New Discoveries...

Its was only a matter of time until Rascal discovered shoes!!

I thought maybe we would get by and avoid this phase most dogs have, but it seems thats not the case.
He first took interest on David's slippers and tennis shoes (which I thought was funny).
Then Tuesday morning he came prancing in with my Cole Haans in his mouth-NOT SO FUNNY!

But you can't be mad too long when you see this sweet face as he sleeps...

Update

Good News about the T.V....
After Five Weeks and hours of talking to supervisors, repairmen, store managers, customer service, ect. they are going to exchange out t.v. out for a new one!!!!
As long as the t.v. of equal or lesser value we get to pick out a all new flat screen HDTV LCD!
We are exchanging it out tommorow!

In other news....
Our water leak in the front yard was fixed. We had to get part of the Kitchen plumbing replaced at a hefty price.

David's car breaks were fixed and it is riding much better now.

Confessions....

Ok so, on my way home from work today I heard a Michael Jackson song on the radio.
It really got me thinking and I think it is time to confess I really love some Old School
Michael Jackson. We are talking Billie Jean, Bad, Thriller, Man in the Mirror...- good stuff!

Other confessions I feel the need to now get off my chest-
-I also love some Old School Lionel Richie

-I watch really "brain trash" reality shows like The Hills, Keeping up with the Kardashions, any Bravo show and I even saw a few of the Livin Lohan shows. And why hasn't a Laguna Beach been on MTV in awhile??

-I am still devastated that The O.C was cancelled and love when I have a weekday off and can
watch reruns on Soap Channel

-Love me some "Meet Me in St. Louis"
(shout out to Rebecca and our times of getting pumped up with Lonnie and Skip to my Lou)

I think that may be enough information for today.

Newlywed Tip of the Week...

Make sure you always have two working T.V.'s at ALL times.

(Our living room tv mentioned last week still hasn't been fixed, due to a part coming in)

It is a hard choice to make for a couple when one wants to watch Desperate Housewives on Sunday night and the other loves Sunday night football.....

Or the choice of Monday Night football second half and The Hills....

Or my DVR of Project Runway and NFL network Highlights......

You get the idea. :) Do not put yourself into this position.

Lets hope the other tv gets fixed quick!

Mums

I got my mums last Thursday for the front door just like I wanted.

Now I am spending this weekend relaxing, enjoying taking Rascal out in the Fall weather and
watching season 2 of Dexter.

Another post for the day-Pictures of our house!

FALL!!!

IT FINALLY FEELS LIKE FALL OUTSIDE!!

Today is the most gorgous day outside and feels like a beautifual October day.
I have today off since I worked Sunday and I am so happy to be able to enjoy the weather
some.

I can't wait to break out turtlenecks and sweaters again!

Goal for today- Buy some mums for the front door
