The Wrestler

We met Colin and Amanda tonight for some grub and a movie, The Wrestler.

I hope you don't ask me what I thought of the movie. I'm not sure how I would respond.

Prisoner of Azkaban

I'm reading the Harry Potter books - watching the movie each time I finish an installment. Tonight was Prisoner of Azkaban, book 3. I won't bore you with my review, but the movie is by far my least favorite movie, and by far my favorite book of the series.

Goblet of Fire

Goblet of Fire, the book that I didn't finish years ago.

I restarted it and am loving it so far!

Who Loves You Napster? I do!

I love Napster days - just chilling, listening to tunes - new and old.

Pretty Little Toesies

Someone got a pedicure today! Me! Holli was so excited to do my toes. I resisted at first. A friend washing and rubbing my feet? No thanks! But I'm so glad I gave in! She gave my big toes some bling, too, in true Holli fashion!

Turbie Towels!

I cheated. I actually took this photo on Tuesday but let's pretend I took it on Monday. Deal?

Sid and I ran in Bed Bath & Beyond so I could look at curtains. Naturally, I fell in love with the most expensive curtains in the place so we didn't buy them. Not wanting to leave the store empty handed, I grabbed a two pack of those super absorbent hair towels.

Check out how big our heads look! Awesomeness! Sid is making that weird fat face where you suck your chin into your neck - think he probably did it on purpose.

Sassy

This is Sassy. Sassy is Stacey's crazy little dog. At random, she'll turn on her back, stick her short tiny legs in the air and become as still as a statue. It's hilarious! Naturally, every time she did this tonight, I scrambled for my cell phone camera and she'd quit. This crappy photo is as good as I could do!

Snuggie!

I forgot to bring my camera on our triple date night with Amanda, Colin, Evan and Gary tonight, so I'll use a photo from our LAST get together. Well, technically Evan and Gary weren't with us on the last game night, but they were GOING to be so that counts.

Amanda brought out her brand new Snuggie and as we lustfully ripped it open, the free book light tumbled the floor. So funny! The Snuggie was enough to knock me over with excitement, but a free booklight too!? Someone slap me because I must be dreaming!

P.S. Sid and I are SHARING the Snuggie. It's HUGE.

Mmmmm, smoothies!

We made strawberry banana smoothies for breakfast - yum!

Cozy TV Night

Know what tonight was? LOST night!

Sid tucked me into my favorite chair with my favorite quilt and we spent an hour with our favorite fictional characters!

Chilly Morning Walk

Sid and I suited up early this morning for a walk and it was C-H-I-L-L-Y!

My New Chair!

"Let's breeze through the furniture section," Holli said innocently.....

It's Buddy!

The blog could use some Bear....

Valentines Day Skies

We had the most unusual skies today! We felt like we were under water looking up at the waves. So bizarre but so beautiful (and even more bizarre? It sleeted today at random!)

We grilled some steaks and shrimp and cuddled up in the living room to watch the last two episodes of LOST. It was a cozy Valentines Day!

Trail Dust

I cheated. This is obviously a photograph of a photograph because I didn't take my camera along for the evening.

We met Holli and James at the Trail Dust Steakhouse in Aubrey for dinner and we had a ball! We were seated right by the dance floor with a fantastic view of the band. Sure, we had to literally scream at the top of our lungs to hear one another speak when the band was playing (which luckily wasn't the entire night), but the food was scrumptious!

Picture Time!

Siddy and Me

Tornado Alley

Tonight, we were prepared for the worst. I had my tornado outfit set out by the bed - jeans, Nikes, sweatshirt - something to throw on if the worst case scenario exploded on our doorstep. We had the curtains, our eyes, and our ears open. According to the news reports, you'd think a Category 5 hurricane was headed our way. In actuality, we had 15 minutes of rain and wind gusts. Living where we do, we get strong gusts everyday! In all fairness to the media, there was a tornado about 80 miles north of us that devastated a little town and killed several people. We're actually considering a little tornado shelter. We've had too many scares and you can never be too careful. I think it was last year that a deadly tornado swept through a rural area about 10 miles east of us, killing 3 people as they slept.

Dancing in the Moonlight

I joined Sid outside tonight to peer at the beautiful moon. We saw something move across the street and turned just in time to see an animal with no tail bounce into the culvert. We both swear it was a bobcat. We've seen a bobcat once or twice around our town, but that close to the house is a tiny bit distressing.

My Nose Is Growing...

....I think. Or maybe it's not. When I see my nose on my face in a photo, I swear its grown. But when I chop my nose out of a photo, it looks like a lovely, normal nose. Sid calls it body dysmorphia. That is WAY too big of a word for me.

Silly Photo Sunday

I decided to take a silly photo for my Facebook. After selecting this photo, I posted it with pride. Immediately, Mom decided to tell me how awful it was and began her daily assault on my masterpiece. I happen to find the picture amusing because I look possessed by a silliness demon. I guess demons aren't funny, no matter how silly they are.

Saturday Tales

What a day! Stacey and Holli picked me up bright and early and we headed to Harry Hines for some bargain shopping. And when I say bargain, I ain't joking. I got a bag full of jewelry for $80, two handbags, a makeup bag and a cell phone holder for $50, and an adorable designer-ish hat for $20. We all headed to our respective homes to freshen up and recongregated at Stacey's for some grub. This was the only photo I took but it is precious! It's Cole, Carly, Abbey and Haddie! Too much cuteness for one room, don't ya think?

She's got Wings...She Knows How to Use Them

Guess what? I had never ever tried wings before tonight. That's a lie. I tried ONE wing just a few days ago at Stacey's but it didn't count because it had been sitting out and was cold.

We joined Amanda and Colin at Buffalo Wild Wings and boy have I been missing out! Delicious! We stuffed our faces between laughs and then headed to their house for a HILARIOUS game night! I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. In fact, that reminds me that I have precious video of their dog, Zoe, that I need to post on the other blog! Zoe needs her own tv show, seriously.

Another Cheat

Guys, I am so terrible at this photo blog stuff! Here is another favorite photo from our Houston trip this past weekend.

Ken Ken and Sid took a chill pill, apparently!

Curly Headed Leigh

Hooray for sunny days, coffee and HAIR APPOINTMENTS!

Holli decided I need curls today and since I never, ever wear my hair curly I was super stoked to try it! I think it was Holli's way of politely saying, "Leigh! Change the hair up, girl!" (I always wear it straight. Always.)

I promised her I'd buy a curling iron and believe me, she followed up on that promise!

I snapped several photos and they all turned out dorky. This was the best I could do.

Ry Ry

So, I didn't actually take this picture today, but I'm missing my Ry Ry and I LOVE this photo of him! He looks so much like Randy! I also had a flash of my Granny when she was a teenager - I don't remember if it was a mannerism or an expression, but I quickly said to Mom, "I just saw Granny in him!"

On the Road Again

We had to say goodbye to Ken Ken, Ryan & Cindy today. What a perfect trip!

Couldn't decide between the two photos so I'll just post both.

Dancing Queen

Today was the big day - the day of the dance recital! Makenzie was brilliant, a super star! She was sick as a dog but showed no signs of being rattled. You can read all about her big day here!
