What a Wonderful Weekend!

Hi all!

So this weekend was awesome.

On Friday night I sang at a confirmation mass. Nice to get paid to do what I love and always nice to see young people getting confirmed. Then I went to Longs and got some nail polish and did that French manicure thing on my toes and fingers. It actually looks pretty good! It's supposed to be idiot-proof, but I did manage to screw up a couple of nails. It's one of the Sally Hanson kits (they're also the makers of my cuticle cream that I featured in "Products I Love") that has the two nail polishes and the little strips. You stick the strip on and paint the tip white, let it dry, and then paint over the whole thing with nude. Fabulous.

On Saturday Tim and I had a crazy day. We dropped my car off to have the oil changed (I was like 1500 miles over... oops!) and then ran around doing errands. Target, Ralphs, etc. Then picked up my car and dropped his. We were invited to a crawfish boil at the beach by a couple in my choir, so we drove down for that. The husband is from New Orleans, so he knows how to cook a crawfish. They flew in 250 pounds of LIVE crawfish and boiled them. Everyone there seemed to love it (no, I didn't try it) and it was pretty neat to watch. It smelled yummy... not really like fish, but more like the spices that you smell in all the restaurants in New Orleans. After that we rented "Racing Stripes" and "Finding Neverland". We watched "Racing Stripes" last night. HILARIOUS. My favorite line: "Better to burp and taste it than fart and waste it". ROFL... yeah, so not really a serious movie. Funny though, with a lot of celebrity voices! I kept telling Tim I wanted a zebra, but for some reason he didn't seem to into having one. I wonder why...

Today we went to church and then just sort of vegged. Did some minor gift shopping (a graduation and SOMEONE'S birthday) and then laid by the pool. It was so nice out today and the pool finally warmed up enough to get in. It was nice a refreshing and felt so good to get back out and lay in the sun again. Sometimes my pasty white skin just feels like it craves sun. Today was one of those days. Then we came back and watched "Finding Neverland". Can I just say that I love Johnny Depp? Too bad he's living in France with that chick. No really, it was a great movie... a little deeper than I had expected and very moving. I was expecting it to be a little more about the Peter Pan stuff, but it was more about the inspiration. I definitely recommend it. I finished the day off with some laundry and am now going to read until I fall asleep. I have a little headache (too much sun?) but want to get up early to work out (I slipped and didn't really go this week).

HOPEFULLY TOMORROW IS THE DAY! It's killing me! lol... no really, I'm excited and just want to know for sure. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you'll have to wait and find out! :-D

Hope you all had a good weekend... I'd love to have some of you post your weekend stories in the comments section - I know we have a biker babe out there who put some serious miles on her bike!
