A Fun Visit

I had such a fun weekend thanks to a visit from my friend Ann!  Sadly, I guess we were having too much fun for photos, so all I've got is a couple I snapped on my phone and a couple I "borrowed" from a website. 

Ann flew in from Lubbock on Friday afternoon.  She came with gifts of cupcakes and a couple of cute Vera Bradley pieces in my pattern.  Let me tell you about these cupcakes.  They were G O O D !  They come from a place called Cake in Lubbock.  Ann brought Pink Champagne, Red Velvet, Coconut and Lemon.  The Pink Champagne and Lemon were my favs.  Here's a pic of the inside of Cake...

and the pink champagne (I'd die for the recipe!)...

We went from the airport to Northpark to do a little light shopping and meet up with our friend Courtney for dinner at PF Changs.  I toted my heavy camera all over the stinking mall and did not take ONE photo!

On Saturday, we shopped around town until about 4:00, when we came home and watched our idol, Sarah Richardson, on her new show Sarah 101 on HGTV.  After that we felt the decorating bug and went to Ikea & Home Depot to procure some supplies to do a mirror project I've been wanting to do for a long while (more to come on that later).

We had dinner at Fireside Pies before coming home to tackle the project.  We had some yummy drinks & food.  I had this Tangerine Ginger drink.  It was so YUM!

And our pizza was surely healthy right?  I mean look at that pile of spinach & tomatoes!

Sunday we did brunch at a fab local place called Bonnie Ruth's before I had to return my friend to the airport to fly back to West Texas. 

It was such a fun weekend, but I'm sorry I was a poor blogger and didn't document with more photos.

Thanks for coming Ann!  I can't wait to come visit you during football season!

This sounds like the perfect girly weekend! I am a huge sucker for a good cupcake, and those look DELISH. I am so glad you had a good time! And, if you didn't take time to take pictures, must have just meant that you were having too much fun to bother with a camera. :) That's always a good thing!

It's SATC Saturday Again

First, I will start you off with a little movie... Sex and the City- All the Best Moments from the Movie. WARNING : If you haven't seen the movie, don't watch this.  Oh, and also please rectify this ASAP.  Ann-  they have the movie at your local TJ Maxx for $5.99.  I meant to buy it for you when I was there and bring it to you at Robin's party, but I got distracted by lamps and forgot (sorry!).  This week has been pretty lame-o on the updates front. All I have found is that there are reports of some drama on the set between Kim Cattrall and SJP.  Of course there have been reports in the past that these two gals didn't get along (personally I think it is just because KC is a little too big for her britches and doesn't seem to always remember that SJP is an executive producer and Carrie is, well the star ).  There are also reports that SJP is possibly a little overwhelmed with having the two new twin girls and little James Wilkie to take care of...
