weekend highlights and a winner.

Weekend highlights…..
FRIDAY:

Seeing an old man with a parade of Daschund  puppies running behind him at Waterfront Park.  Maybe the cutest thing I saw all week.

Happy hour and girls night with the ladies
in our church home community.

Happy hour at Night Light.
Cupcakes at Saint Cupcake.
Watched (part of) “Bright Star“.
SATURDAY:

Hung out with these beautiful ladies.
We didn’t do anything.  
We just chatted for hours.  
And it was perfect.

I think being able to do nothing with someone is the mark of a true friend, and these girls are most definitely true friends and I love them massively.

I was supposed to do Karaoke with co-workers later.
But I didn’t.  
I had a sort of “argument” with Craig and I was in a bad mood….which is not in the spirit of karaoke.  My work friends will probably give me crap on Monday because I never go to work functions.  Oh well.  

SUNDAY:

Lunch at Mongolian Grill (Craig’s fave)
with our friends Race & Caile.
Aren’t they cute?

Then….just lounging….and choosing a winner for the lovely giveaway for Cristin’s beautiful cowl scarf….AND….the winner is…….. # 16

of Absent Minded.

Congrats!  Please e-mail me your address, and thank you to all of you who entered!  AND…. thank you Cristin for providing this wonderful giveaway!

Hope your Monday is a Funday!  
Cheesy…I know :).

  6. Once I clicked on the picture of the old man with the daschunds and saw it up close- my heart melted. Sigh. How precious.

  7. Those puppies…so freaking cute. I would have gotten crazy-woman close to take a picture. Glad I wasn’t around 🙂

  8. Sounds like you had a pretty good weekend 🙂

    I LOVE the pic of the old man and his puppies!

  9. We used to have a miniature dachshund when I was younger and he was SO cute and sweet, but we had to get rid of him because my mom doesn’t like animals 🙁

    Those cupcakes look good, and I’ve really been craving sugar the last few days! I’m hoping the weather will stay nice so I can jump on the trampoline, then I can justify eating sweet junk food!

    You look so pretty in that picture, and I love the scarf you’re wearing. I’ve always liked yellow.

    I hope you have a good day, pretty lady!
