Winter Wonderland in Dallas - February 2010

HOLY COW!!! I am sitting semi watching television and just staring at the snow fall outside. Seriously, I live in Dallas!!! It is snowing!!! Not just sleeting but SNOWING!!! Facebook friends are saying that we have had about 7 -8 inches of snow. I love going out on my balcony and staring at the downtown buildings. Well this morning the snow was so heavy that I couldn't even see the buildings. I didn't even find it that cold this morning when I was out in it. This afternoon I figured I needed to go to the grocery store to get some staples if everything freezes tomorrow. So I bought chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and cookies. Healthy I know! Well I wanted to get some starter logs to start a fire tonight and tomorrow, but Walmart was out! Boo!!! It was fun driving around this afternoon watching the panic on people's face. Roxy rode with me around town and she was running all around the car looking at the snow. But she is a DIVA! She does not want her paws touching the snow. I took her out to go to the restroom and she looked at me like I was crazy. She asked me to pick her up and I wouldn't. She went to this area that had such pretty snow and peed. No more pretty snow, just yellow snow. Stay away from the yellow snow. Just saying. I swear she looked at me and then winked! I stole a pic from a friend tonight and posted it as my FB profie pic! Hahaha! Girl Power! Enjoy the pics!!!

Girl Power!!!

I also learned something today. My friend, Shae, has lived in many places where it snows frequently. I was telling her that I was pulling into my driveway and I was slipping under the snow. She told me that I could drive in 1st or 2nd gear. I believe we also learn at least one useful thing each day! :)

Until Next Time!

GUESS WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

How does she fit in????

Family.....

The Answer is!!!!!!! I am going to be an AUNT!!!!!!!!! Aunt Andi has a good ring to it!!!!!! My brother and sister in law are pregnant and due August 30th!!! They told us on Christmas! It was cool they bought John Deer baby socks and wrapped them up as a present to tell us! I knew that they were trying but it happened pretty quickly!!! I am super pumped for them and super excited to have a baby in our family!!!! They had their first sonogram at the beginning of January and the two grandmother's got to come see the baby. They went a few weeks ago for another appointment and the doctor surprised them with a another sonogram. The baby has grown to 2 1/2 centimeters and was wriggling around with arms and legs!! Super duper cool!!!! So if you see me at the grocery store and I have diapers in my cart, don't start staring at my belly!!! It's not me!!!! :)



Until next time!!!!

Shae came for a visit

I love it when friends come for a visit. My best friend, Shae, came for a surprise visit for Christmas! The kiddos didn't get to come this time so I am planning a trip to Virginia soon to see them. Shae spent the weekend at my house and we went out a few times. Fun times! We went to the local bar down the street from my house on Christmas night and had a few drinks, caught up on how the day with the family was, and flirted with a cute cop! :) The next day we went shopping for some goodies at Crate and Barrell and Gap. We had a yummy meal at Chuy's! That evening we went to the MAT and then Kinkie's for dancing. Hold on, I know that you are wondering "When did Andi start to dance?" Well that is a good question. It takes a few drinks to get me dancing. We met new friends and met up with some old friends. We had a good time.

Sunday well we layed on the couch and was lazy. Had a great time with her during her visit!!! There are more pics on facebook, but we refrained from posting pics that we took that we didn't remember the next day. Just use your imagination!!! Ha!!!! :)

Au revoir!

Andi

Do you find this as scary as I do????

Just saying!

Adios!

Andi

Catch Up Time!!!!

I think it is strange that I am catching up on a brand new blog??? Well I wanted to catch you up on my shenanigans over the holidays... A friend of mine Susan came in from NYC for a visit. We always try to have some good girl time so we went over to her sister's house and baked cookies. We then decorated them. I enjoy baking and find it relaxing and fun. Decorating though??? Well lets just say not so good at it. They made fun of mine all night long. See pic:

Would you like to place an order for your first grader? They will think you are a French chef -- I am certain!!! :)

Well then Susan and I decided to participate in the Jingle Bell Run in Dallas before Christmas. I love going to the gym and I love going to weight classes, but I hate cardio! I am trying to enjoy it though and I am trying to push myself to do more cardio so I went. Susan had pity on me so we ran and walked some. Thank you Susan!!! Marathon is on my bucket list though. The people there were interesting all dressed up. We wore our jingle bells on our shoes. That is all the wild and crazy we did. The jingling got on my nerves greatly throughout the night!!! Bah Hum Bug?? We didn't get to take a pic of this but there was a person dressed up like a reindeer that had rollars on the back end it was funny!! There were two guys dressed up and obviously they were confident in their sexuality! I love guys that just have fun and are goofy!!! See below. We then went over to the Anatole for an after party. I found it pretty ironic that we just exercised and then they served beer and pizza! Ha! The pizza was the greasiest that I have ever eaten. Next year maybe I will wear a fun hat???

Adios Amigos!
