Valentine's Date/Mom's B-Day/Bard Visit

I don't have a lot to post other than we all know how SHOCKED I was to receive my valentines necklace on Thursday evening. I hope Russ notices how much I am glowing because of him. Friday morning I dropped Bubba off at Mrs. Gabby's. He greeted her with flowers and the cutest "Happy Vowemtimes Day" ever said by a 3 year old. Gabby loved it. Then it was off to Sissy's. We tackled Target and Starbucks then home. I knew a date night was in order, so I cleaned house and showered. Russ had arranged for Dalton to stay at Gabby's house while we went and dated like old times. We headed to The Legends to try a NEW restaurant. Mind you we both have not had fast food(besides a soft chicken taco fresco style from Taco Bell), or anything outside of HOME in a long time now. We stopped at Jazz, a Louisiana type restaurant. YUM is the word but nothing really healthy on the menu and as Russ would say "everybody who's heart got broke that day" was hired on for the waiting staff that night. Atmosphere was fun but the staff was horrible. Made me mad and sad for them. Regardless my tummy cramped up bad after dinner. I think it was shock to my gut literally. We walked The Legends anyway while my tummy was hurting. We walked the entire shopping area holding each others pinky's. (awwwww)When it came time to leave and my tummy was done hurting. I was craving a refreshing smoothie. What better place to stop then Cold Stone Creamery?! All I have to say is Strawberry Bonanza with splenda is FAB-U-LOUS! We then headed to get Bubba who mind you was wound for sound and high on sugar. Just like a great babysitter would treat him on a Friday night :) By the time we got home we all tuckered out instantly.
I know posting these headshot's might be corny, but I just love myself that much right now! The rest of my body is getting in better shape as well but Russ isn't around when I take these and I cant take a full body shot myself. ;)
Saturday we got up attempted shopping...until Judd called and requested Russ's assistance at the shop to help drop two gas tanks which took almost 4 hours. Therefore making us late to my Moms birthday dinner. All the family was there and it was a good but short visit. Everybody was already into about 2 hours of partying if ya know what I mean. So fun, sweet, good food and then we headed home and were all in bed at 730ish.
Sunday we woke around 7 headed for coffee and a few items from Walmart. Then we went and tried out every elliptical known to man. Dicks Sporting Goods (twice), Sears, Kmart(twice), Walmart....everything but Nebraska Furniture Mart and well I would need Valium to just go in that place on any Fri-Sun.
Tonight we reunited with the Bards. Amberly and I have always had some differences but our families used to be so strong and close. Plus the kids have always got along great. Amberly just happened to email me on Thursday and our apologies began from there. The past...well is exactly that, THE PAST and now it's a new day. So here is to rekindling a friendship. Amberly walked in and we hugged so tight, then of couse spider monkey Jeff jumped on Russ's lap. LOL..and the kids picked up right where they left off.
After they left I made an amazing chicken and rice dinner, worked out, showered and finally got a chance to sit here and blog.
If you can't tell how busy my weekend was, then realize that there are only 2 pictures on this post and that should put things into perspective for you.
Tomorrow is weigh in...Good Luck to me and Hubby
