Bedtime Drama

For all of you real parents out there, I know that bedtime can be a struggle at your house. Little ones wanting to stay up just a little longer...one more drink of water, forgot to brush their teeth, etc. Well, yes, I know you have it rough, but we don't have a walk in the park either at our house....take a look at what is now becoming routine at our house at bedtime...

Girls Night Out!!

There's nothing like a good old fashioned Girls Night Out to rekindle the old friendships and also create new ones. Tonight, I ventured to Rachel's house for a lovely GNO. Of course there are some great friends of mine that were there, but there were also several ladies there that I did not know before, and now I feel like we are old friends! That's the thing about girls....we can connect with anyone at the drop of a hat and act like old friends even if we've only known each other for an hour! We all decided tonight that this will be a monthly event where we will get together for lots of fun. I hope Rachel doesn't mind....I think we nominated her to be the hostess because she did such a great job! So, if I don't see you before then ladies, I hope to see you next month! WAHOO!



Me and Rachel...thanks again for a wonderful evening!! :)

Miscommunication of the Day...

Here was mine and David's conversation today while shopping in Express....

David: I need more buttwipes....I am turning over a new leaf
Anna: Oh, I didn't know you used buttwipes...
David: What??
Anna: Huh?
David: Did you say buttwipes?
Anna: Yes, you said you need more buttwipes.
David: No, I said I need more button-ups, I am turning over a new leaf
Anna: Oh, well that makes more sense.

We are so cool.....

It only took us 2 and 4 years respectively to take part in the "craze!!!" And by that, I mean we had a big night at the Higginbotham House. After much deliberating and denying his true inner nerd for 2 years, David broke down tonight and switched from being a faithful Verizon customer, to an Iphone user. I know, I know....everyone else already has one. Excuse us for being slow...and on another note, I watched Twilight for the first time tonight. I thought I would wait until all the intial hype wore off, but that doesn't seem to be happening, so I borrowed the movie from a friend and watched it. Now, before all you faithful Twilighter's burn me at the stake, hear me out. The movie was good, but maybe it was too hyped for me. I mean, I will not be going out and buying any Team Edward shirts or anything like that, but I did enjoy it. So yes, we are behind, but that is okay....we let everyone else work out all the kinks in stuff before we try it!

Ahh....the plans

As most of you know, we own a river lot in addition to the two that we just purchased a couple of weeks ago. We are selling that lot, and if you are interested, check out this blog for more information...


Anywho...we went out to the new lots today to walk around, in the rain mind you, because before a couple of days ago, we had never walked on the new property...just around it. It is really grown up, and I'm not a fan of gigantic snakes, so we just looked at it from the street. But actually, once you get in the middle of it, because there are so many trees and its so shaded, there is really not that much grown up stuff there....I digress, so we tried to picture where the shack was going, but we couldn't really see that far due to the trees....the guy that is doing the clearing should start in about 2 weeks, so we will be able to tell where everything is going to go then. Hope everyone enjoyed their rainy Sunday!!

Skate Castle 2009....whoop whoop!!

Friday night was suppose to be an exciting night of going to Misty Hollow Farms to do their Haunted Hollow, where basically you walk through the dark woods and people try to scare the crap out of you...however, after months of anticipation, I called yesterday and because of all of the rain we have had, they have a ton of trees down and its "not safe" to go through...wasn't that the whole point anyway?? :) So, we decided after a lovely dinner at Alfonso's to go to the Skate Castle...yes, you heard me right, we went roller skating...the conversation when we pulled into the parking lot went like this...

Anna-"I am really excited about skating...."
David-"Yeah, I think it will be fun"
Anna-"Oh good, its not crowded, there are hardly any cars here....wait, the kids that come here can't drive...nevermind."

So, we asked for a senior citizens discount when we paid, were denied, and then started out on a wonderful adventure. I remember being an awesome skater, could bust a move like it was nobody's business. So, I tried re-living my past...no such luck. Be sure you check out the video...its got me almost biting the dust, and then it has it in slow motion too...well worth the watch!

However, we did have so much fun! I highly recommend going back and doing one of those activities that you did as a kid. We laughed so hard the whole night, it was a hoot!

Here is David starting off the night with a little video game action at Alfonso's


Here we both are, showing off our snazzy skates...
