This weekend was pretty easy. Friday night we stayed in, and I watched old Oprahs on my DVR
while Greg watched basketball. We were both REALLY tired, so it worked for us! We had our favorite Papa Murphy's Take and Bake Delight Pizza... yummy.
On Saturday I woke up and did some shopping. YAY!
Macy's was having a great sale! I found some Nautica dress shirts for Greg for $11! I also got some cute summer pajamas for my little neices, and a cute dress and top for myself.
After my little shopping spree we headed to my sister's house so Greg could meet sweet little baby Alison. Yes, my sister has now decided to spell it with one L for some reason.
My oldest neice is obsessed with Rachel Ray these days, so Greg helped her make fancy cheese dip like Rachel was making on tv while we were there. He is a good uncle. We hung out for awhile with the fam and then drove home.
I got creative that night and made
homemade mac and cheese.
I burned the crud out of my thumb and undercooked the noodles. All while using about $15 worth of super fancy cheese. Luckily it was better the next day for leftovers. At least I tried right?
On Sunday I woke up with annoying back pain (from sleeping with 2 dogs in my back) and Greg woke up with a stomach ache. I swear it was not my cooking! I ended up trying to work it out on a walk with Oscar, which really helped.
It was a great walk- warm weather and tons of beautiful flowers to see. (This is an old picture of us walking, my roses have yet to bloom this year...) I had tennis practice later that day, and I actually got a bit of a tan! I am so excited to have some color! I also did some painting and got addicted to Monopoly on my iPhone.
That about sums up my weekend. Not very exciting, but nice and relaxing!
I hope you enjoy your weekend with family and friends! Eat lots of yummy Cadbury Eggs and don't forget the real reason we celebrate Easter!
Me and our very happy azaleas
Azaleas sans moi
One of my first roses. All of my rose bushes are about to burst with blooms! I am so excited! Last year they got sick and didn't perform very well. This year they are so so happy! I am sure I will take more pictures soon.
Typical Lunch Time Greg. He takes off his work clothes, we sit in the living room with either leftovers or a sandwich with the pets. Here he is with Oscar, Holly, Woody (hidden by the darkness) and Coco Kitty. I have no animals in my lap- sad. We watch Rachel Ray or something we DVRed the night before.

Okay, best cupcakes ever- WHOLE FOODS. They are a must from now on. My friend Jessica had them at her wedding, and now I am an addict. Must get Whole Foods to come to Tyler!
No one came looking for our sweet found boxer boy puppy I found at tennis last Tuesday, but we were able to place him in an amazing home yesterday. He was such a wonderful dog. I am so excited to know he will be loved and cared for in his new home!
He would chase the balls through the fence and even came onto the court a few times! After the match I of course took him home. How could I just leave him? Honestly! So, he is safe in sound and we are trying to find his parents. Not having much luck though! Isn't he sweet! I'll take better pictures tonight!
Let us be grateful to people (like my Jaran) who make us happy,
My hands were numb, and my allergies were terrible thanks to the wind. I was miserable, and played miserably. Oh well, life goes on. I made myself go to my team practice on Sunday afternoon and played much better thanks to the sunshine! I play again on Tuesday. It is our first of many USTA team competitions this year. If we win our district we go to Dallas again for the Championships in July. That was fun last year, so we want to win again!
I did a lot of that while resting in between tennis time.
It really made me think. I like movies that make you think. I definitely loved all of the little orphans in the movie. I would take them all, esp. Curly. I also want to pick some apples on the East Coast! Goodnight, you princes of Maine, you kings of New England...
