   What a fun and wonderful weekend. ;-)  This has been one of those weekends that I wish never had to end.

This is my silly husband posing with his X-sister in law Lori, and her daughter Jordin.  They live in a small town about 3 and a half hours away from us - which we took a fun road trip over to visit them and spend the night at their home.  I just love the open road - I could drive forever and ever!  Anyway, we hadn’t seen them in over a year, and they both looked so beautiful. We had an enjoyable visit, took them out to dinner at a yummy chicken fast food place, (the only place in town that was open and not too crowded) and my husband fixed their computer.  We spent the night and stayed up real late looking at pictures and playing on the internet.  On the morning when we left, Lori fixed us pancakes - which was special because she doesn’t cook often, and we played with all their animals. It was just a good time, and I didn’t want to leave them.  I am so glad to have become a part of their family. I love them, and will look forward to the day when I can see them again.

The other cute picture is my kitten Lixy. She loves it when I take the laundry out of the dryer - she curls up in it’s warmth and takes a nap. Always the white clothes too LOL~ She’s so cute - you can play “Where’s Waldo” if you want to - she’s kinda hard to find. (he, he!)  I love my cat, just had to share.

Well I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I can’t believe it’s time to go back to work tomorrow, grrrrr!  I’m actually grateful for a brand new week. I didn’t eat too well on my trip, unfortunately, and I didn’t exercise at all.  But what good is a road trip without chips and cookies in the car, maybe a hamburger, soda and a couple donuts??  Oh, and you can’t forget the peanut nutter butters, which are my absolute favorites! (mmmmm!!!)  I know, this is so very bad.  And I’m sorry that I have to write this in my entry and perhaps make your tummy rumble with temptation.  But hey - what’s done is done.  The funny thing is that I don’t feel too guilty about it.  After all, I’ve lost 23 pounds in the last three months.  So the reward will be short lived.  Back to work in the morning!!!  It’s going to be a busy week at work. But this weekend my husband and I are throwing a luau - pure Hawaiian style - to say goodbye to summer and hello to fall - and to my favorite time of the year, and hello to FOOTBALL season!!  Yay!  (Yep, I’m a football maniac, and I like it this way LOL~)  This will be the first major party at our new house, kinda like a housewarming party. But mainly just to laugh and have some fun with family and friends.  Hope I don’t end up stressing too much. 

Is it possible to throw a luau here on buddy slim??  Hmmm… How to figure that one out?

Anyhooo - nough’ babbling for now,  buddies.  Happy Happy Joy Joy to you all!
