• Weekend update

  On my way to the gym Friday, my car was making all kinds of awesome noises. I called Cowboy to come check on it. I had a training session with my trainer and wasn’t going to miss it because my car wanted to try to punk out and not get me there. He arrived and my car had no oil in it. Win! We put more oil in, checked all my other fluids but the high pitched squealing was still going on. He followed me home and I thankfully made it. We then went to dinner at this fab fab fab Vietnamese place by our house. I was being pissy because there’s a Vietnamese place close to my gym, but he was right (again) and thought it best to get my car home and then worry about dinner. So glad we tried that Vietnamese place, but the jealous monster in me cannot let him go there by himself. Those ladies were on Cowboy like white on rice. I wanted Vietnamese spring rolls, the kind with Shrimp/or pork and Cowboy wanted to get it vegetarian since it was Friday. He only whispered it, and I didn’t think the girl heard him, but she did and brought back tofu spring rolls. I’m thinking no tip for you, ma’am. We ordered this super yummy honey braised chicken thing for dinner and that was the bomb.com. The fish sauce there was just right on point. After dinner, I showered/crashed. Hubs tried for sexy times that night, but I had an early Saturday planned and wasn’t having it. That rarely happens.

  Saturday, at the butt crack of dawn I showered/got ready for the Fight for Air climb volunteer thing for work. Our team leader mentioned firefighters. That was all I needed to attend.

  

  There were more than just these two, but I was trying to be covert. They were super cute. It was a 48 flight climb, and they climbed the entire thing with all their gear/oxygen tanks on. Amazeballs.

   

  One day last week, I also did a lunch time nails. Back to my favorite color, Bastille my Heart by OPI.

  

  One day last week, my weight was down to 202.6. Super stoked!

  

  I got this shirt at the last shopping spree weekend with Sheri. I was feeling skinny and took a pic.

  

  This was my rodeo hair before it got all wind blown. Brother’s gf did an awesome job highlighting it last time.

  

  This was on my way to the gym one day last week.

  

  I wore this dress one day last week. Perfect for spring time meetings with vendors, right? I wish you could see the magical cream shadow/eye shadow combination I have going on in this pic. During the shopping spree I scored something from Mac’s holiday collection and it’s super awesome. It’s a paint pot in some magical color with the word skate in it. It’s a pale pink with gold shimmer. I put Pink Opal pigment on top, something darker in the crease and ta-da, magic! I need to do a video tutorial on it.

  

  At the volunteer thing, I wore these fab “booty” shorts then changed when I got home into an even sexier top to see Hunger Games. Semi-see through over a black bra, sure thing, ma’am. Hubs really liked this outfit. When we got home, he asked, now what do you want to do? I said you. I got what I wanted. Sweet!

  After that, he asked what  I wanted to do, but I was at that point where I got everything I wanted, I wanted him to pick something. He wanted to paint the guest bedroom. ?? The weather was super nice, so I didn’t want to do that. That’s more of a rainy day activity. So he suggested buying the stuff we’d need for when it does rain. We did that, and while there, he mentioned wanting to plan a garden. Another surprise. We bought some seeds and headed home.

  Sunday, at the butt crack of dawn again, he wanted to get started. I helped, but was still tired.

  

  He shoveled the grass out and I supervised. He finally, finally bought a kennel for the dog and got most of that set up yesterday. Double win! I started laundry and then headed to another clothing swap. I really love these. It’s so cleansing to purge my closet, give things to someone else to wear and get some new stuff. I’ve scored some super cute stuff in the past. Shrinking down didn’t leave me many options, but I did score some cute stuff.

  

  This was my outfit. I love this blue shirt, don’t I?

  

  Eep! I see collar bones. I so love these sunglasses too.

  

  Ok, enough shenanigans, this is one of the items I scored at the swap. Isn’t it super cute? I love love love it! I’m such a dress girl. My mom game me these shoes over the weekend. They’re cute little kitten heels.

  The girl who had surgery the same day as me went to the swap and she got one of my dresses. Yay! Cowboy didn’t want me to part with it. It was black/copper. I’ve worn it to a couple weddings and to a Christmas dinner with him. I was sad to part with my beloved dresses, but I know they went to good homes. I had such a good time at the swap and seeing people I haven’t seen in a while. They were impressed with my weight loss and I loved discussing it. It’s just one of those things where, it’s available, we don’t live in a third world country. Just do it.
