Can I just tell you what a fabulous Saturday we had? My brother, Aaron, and his girlfriend, Maya, and her parents were passing through our little desert city on their way to Houston. (Yes, they are driving to Houston in spite of the mess Ike left behind). Anyway, they were passing through and they were able to take a few hours to hang out with us for a bit. Since it was only a few hours in the afternoon I didn’t do any cooking. In fact I didn’t do much of anything and it was fabulous. We pulled up the chairs in the backyard, poured a couple glasses of wine (don’t worry, the driver didn’t partake) and just enjoyed the company. Aaron and Maya don’t have any children so you can imagine how a few hours with our crazy four wore them out. It truly was a great afternoon though that flew by too fast.
Aren’t they cute?
Before they pulled into town though, guess what I’d spent the morning doing. C’mon, guess.
Give up?
I did a mini makeover. On Jeff. It included cutting his overgrown hair. And then I talked him into letting me use one of my Biore pore strip thingys on his shnoz. But the kicker? He let me wax his unibrow. It totally took some convincing, but he let me do it.
And he looks so much less Mr. Brawny like for letting me have my way with the sugar wax.
I would post a picture but I’m not certain he’d be too happy about me showing off his freshly waxed brows.
Okay, last but not least, I wanted to show off something I am SO excited about.
You all remember that I’m running participating in a 5K in a few short weeks right? Well, a couple of weeks ago I entered into a giveaway that Nicole at Apron Strings Aflutter was hosting. The prize? A running skirt. Yep, you read right. A skirt. Well, a skort really, but you get my drift. And I wanted to win SO badly. You can imagine then how thrilled I was when Nicole let me know I was the lucky winner.
How cute is this? I’m totally banking on the fact that my spiffy new skirt will distract everybody from the fact that I’m not so much a runner.
Yeah, so how was your weekend?
