Just Another Manic Monday...Wish it was Sunday...

We had a pretty busy weekend this weekend! Bobby's parents came in for a visit. Friday night when they got in, we decided to go eat at Saltgrass on the Boardwalk. It was a nice little dinner and the steak was great! After dinner we came home to hang out. They had a long drive and Bobby had to work Saturday. 

So, Saturday morning his parents and I went to run a few errands. I took my pup to the groomer, picked up some wedding photos I had printed and then it was time for the casino! No big bonus this time though. We missed out on the Blind Tiger and decided to go to the Revel, again. It was ok. We saw Bucky Covington -- from American Idol. I wasn't so impressed. He really needs to take a mini-vacay and give those vocal cords a rest! After the concert we checked out a few of the bars in downtown Shreveport for the first time.

Sunday, I had a little shopping trip planned with my neighbor who was nice enough to join me. It was not so successful, sadly. I did buy two pair of pants, two tops and a pair of wedges. The wedges will be for next summer but I couldn't pass them up -- $5.97 at Banana Republic! The pants I got are cute but the tops were kinda plain. I just needed them for work. I've been so excited to find some new post-BR clothes but I haven't been so lucky. I'm really missing the Houston Galleria right about now. What sucks is that I haven't done much shopping since the BR and so I'm not sure what sizes shirts I would wear at the stores I would usually shop at. So, online shopping is sadly out. What I wouldn't give for a Club Monaco or Zara right about now...Sad days. 

However, I did get to hang out with my neighbor some -- who I love. It's hard for me to make friends because I'm not really friendly -- I didn't say nice, I said friendly, there's a difference. But, I do love her and we get along great so far! I'm so excited to have made my first Louisiana friend!

Hope everyone's weekend was great!

XOXO,

Almost Done!!

Guess what?! I'm almost finished with my Christmas shopping! I can't believe how productive I've been so far. I'm completely done with all the kids I'm buying for...now on to the adults! I love Christmas and love love love Christmas shopping! Before the BR, I always had a hard time shopping for myself, but now, I love it! Even so, there is nothing better than buying Christmas gifts for kids!

Now, I'm off to do some shopping of my own. Wish me luck! Hopefully I'll take some time and post photos of some of my finds!

Here's a sad story. Yesterday we were leaving the Red Revel Festival (again) and I saw a little boy who was about 2 with his parents. They were trying to get him to hold the dad's hand and he didn't want to. He said he only wanted to hold his mom's hand. So the dad PULLED HIS HAIR!!! Can you believe that!? I almost cried. I mean, seriously, would you wanna hold the guys hand. I sure wouldn't! However people can be so horrible to kids is beyond me! I mean, the kid is 2 for crying out loud! He's going to be defiant and there are better ways to handle it than pulling the kids hair! So, when I was leaving Wal-Mart, there were people collecting money for child abuse prevention. I had to donate. Because I don't care what you say, pulling a 2-year-old's hair, is child abuse!

XOXO,

Oh, Lou

Just a quick little message. The weekend is going great, however, I did get sucked into working today...BOO! Dinner at the Blind Tiger tonight and we may go to the ashtray of entertainment -- the casino. That's one thing I miss about Houston -- NO SMOKING!

The segment on Lou Dobbs has been rescheduled to the downfall of the American economy...It'll be on Lou Dobbs next Friday.

XOXO,
