Let's get this party started

This is going to be a two parter.
SATURDAY :
The fun and frolic bagan on Saturday morning.....

Maria got up early so we could get as much in as we could ... First our Pedicure...
(We weren't going to have time for both a mani and pedi...) But it did'nt matter.... it was heavnely...

I kinda felt bad for my gal...
MY dogs were...Nastay..
I won't even post a pic ...they were that bad..
But Hey...... Now they are loverly !!!!

Thank you Maria...


BUT WAIT.. there was more !!!
We went to the mall and headed straight for the the
M.A.C counter..... We both purchased one of my favorite purfumes.... Turquatic...
(Can you see the weeping buddha next to the bottle???... he is weeping for pure joy over this stuff.. he and I both !!! )

OH MAN !!!... How I love it !!!!

While we were there.. we saw this great ad from another company...

This..................................> may just become my new motto.....




We also caroused around my other favorite .... The Philosophy counter... But....we walked away quickly .. it was all too tempting.

From there we went to the mausoleum that my father is in...
It was good to sit there for a bit to laugh and cry just remembering him...
Thankfully it isn't as gut wrenching now when we go.. and for the most part we are able to remember all the funny, happy things.. and laugh trough our tears.. But man we sure do miss him...



Maria was kind enough to indulge her poor old Mother by stopping in with me at Trader Joe's...
Not typically her favorite place... but one of mine..
I was only going to go in and look around and $51 dollars later..we were outta there...
To reward her for her kindness..A McDonald's Ice cream cone.... and a Sweet Tea for me.

(Man.. Sweet Tea......another favorite of mine.. and they were only a $1 a piece........ I know I know... I am such a big spender !!! )

Maria had made arrangements to have her hair trimmed... so I accompanied her to my brother and sister in law's house..

She---------------------> is getting featured far....... too much on this blog lately.....


(*Note to self... Stop showcasing Nancy so much...
She is coming off as far far too nice.....Ha !)


We actually got a lot in for those few hours... and like I have said before...
Any time I spend with her is great !!! Thanks Again Peanut.. I had a great time.

Alas.. my daughter does have a life...and made plans for the evening.. so we kiss kissed and she was off...


Fortunately I still have Mr R to keep me occupied... and he had a great idea..
He wanted to take in an early movie.. his suggestion was Disney's UP

People... This was such a good movie.... I didn't expect it.. but I cried.... I can't give away why... but it was just so touching.
Just an over all feel good movie. It doesn't matter if you 8 yrs old or 80 you will LOVE this movie !!

Then as if the day weren't already going along better then ever.. Mr R suggested going to a great Middle Eastern Restaurant in town...
Ummm Helllloooo... Hummus Chicken.... can you say Wonderful !!??

By the end of the evening.. I was on happy overload.... but ready to call it a day...

It was really terrific spending time with some of my favorite people... but Sunday was around the corner... and there was much more to come !!!!



( I KNOW... aren't I spoiled !!! )
