Weekend

We had a nice weekend. We all went to Toby Keith's I love this bar and grill for lunch and then walked down the river walk to the movie theater. Jenn and I went to see Mama Mia! and the boys went to the play center and when our movie was over, we suprised them and took them to see Space Chimps (which was HORRIBLE - and I love animated stuff). They liked it though, so I guess that is what counts.

After the movies, we went to the T-Mobile store to see if it was time for me to get the phone credit and it was! Jenn decided on a new phone (finally) and picked a Blackberry Curve. We used her phone credit to get her mom a new phone about 6 months ago and since I bought my Blackberry Pearl via eBay about 6 months ago, I didn't need (or want) a new phone yet. They didn't have any of the gold one's left, so we had to come back on Sunday.

We ran over to the candy store to look for different kinds of candy that we want to use for the candy bar at the wedding. We found some great things.... jelly bellies and m&m's and all kinds of things!

We ended up going to dinner at Red Lobster (it was so good) and then heading home. We were out most of the day and had a good time.

Sunday, we got up and did somethings around the house. Jenn's mom asked us to come over for dinner and to go swimming, so we said we would be there around 5pm. We went back to T-Mobile and they were totally out of the gold bb curve. They called a store in Norman, and they held one for us (since we were headed that way to Jenn's mom's place). We stopped in JC Penny and found TONS of boys clothes on sale and ended up buying the boys some back to school clothes and clothes for the wedding! I was so happy. I wanted to find them some dark brown dress shorts and we found some. We got them a very cute button-down shirt to go with it.

After we left JC Penny, we headed to Norman and the T-Mobile store there. We picked up the phone, stopped at the market for some things for dinner and then over to Debi's house. The boys were STARVING so we cooked hot dogs and baked beans and Jenn had picked up potato and macarroni salads. It was really good and totally hit the spot. Then we got our suits on and went to swimming.

The boys brought their new water guns that we bought for them on Saturday when we were at Bass Pro Shop. They were super soakers and they were crazy! We played really hard and swam a lot and everyone was exhausted when we headed home around 9PM. Both the boys fell asleep in the car before we even left Norman!

It was a good weekend, although I didn't get much of the cleaning out of the garage and my room done as I had wanted to. Seems like that is always the case! LOL

Holiday Shopping!

Ok. Jenn and I have just started making a list for all of our holiday shopping. I would really like to get it all done by the end of this month. I like to have it done and over with ASAP! Plus, when you can do it earlier, you can do it online - my favorite way to shop. If you shop online, be sure and get your online shopping coupons before you start buying.

I do tons of my shopping online at Target. They have everything for everyone on your list. I found some great things for the boys: toys, Razor scooters and clothes, all online. There are tons of free shipping coupons and there is also 15% off furniture, which is great, because Jenn and I have our eye on a sofa table there.

I also love Overstock.com. There are endless deals there, and then if you have coupons on top of that - WOW! There is a great coupon there now for new customers - free shipping on your order! That saves a lot of money, right there.

One of the best things about holiday giving, is getting people something they love at a price that I love!

Eureka Springs

Ok... we had a blast in Eureka Springs. We stayed a place that was nice and clean and CHEAP! There was a great big pool and E and I swam a LOT. We went shopping downtown and did a lot of driving around to see the victorian homes and over to Beaver Lake. It was just a really fun and relaxing get-away. We are going to go back in August, without kids! And then I would like to come back and bring K, too.

Was a quiet day at the office today. Everyone was out helping Oklahoma County get ready for their fundraiser. Emailed back and forth with the moms group and had fun emailing with Jennifer.

Kathy, Linda and I had lunch at Irma's. It was excellent and I always enjoy the eye-candy waitresses.... Linda - you have great waitresses *wink* AND I got to see the ultrasound pictures from yesterday! They were adorable! Baby girl... :) It's making my clock tick! LOLI

FINALLY got my drivers license renewed today! Only 16 days late! Then I went to the mall (gag) and got M and E both a Christmas gift. I found a great neon clock for M's room. She will love it. And I got E a gumball machine because he is always stealing his sisters gum in her gumball machine. I also got them some bottle caps for their stockings. Yummy.

I found a coat FINALLY too! LOL Now that it is actually cold, I remembered. I found several things at Lane Bryant. My mom called when I was there and said she got a $50 gift card from there in the mail today - if you spend $150... which is how much the coat is. So I am had them hold it so I can come home and see if I got a gift card too or if I have to get it from her. They actually had some cool stuff for fall. I found a great grey sweater... I will probably go spend TOO much tomorrow when I go back for the coat, but I never buy myself clothes.

I meant to get E some long sleeve shirts, but I forgot to go to the kids stores. I so hate shopping. I might get online and see what I can get mailed to us. LOL

M is gone tonight. E is watching FOSTER'S HOME FOR IMAGINARY FRIENDS, so I am catching up on my much missed time on my laptop. I have missed laying in bed on the computer this last week. My mom always asks how we can be on the computer so much, but I love it. I always find stuff to do. Listen to LAUNCHCAST and play games.... email, chat, look at internet porn... or not.... lol

I am ready for the weekend. Tomorrow night some of us are going to speak to OU's GLBT & Friends group and then I think I am going to take M to see HP: GOBLET OF FIRE on Friday and then Sat is the Mom's Potluck and that will be so fun! I am thinking about going to the Family Pride meeting on Sunday... we'll see. I still haven't heard if it is going to be this Sunday or not. 'til later..........
