Weekend Update

Oh my… last week was so busy. I’m exhausted and about to hit the bed. Last Sunday I flew to Columbus, OH (and had a problem on the moving walkway at Midway Airport in Chicago). Although I was only in Columbus for 2.5 days, I loved Columbus! Thank you Jill, for the Columbus shopping and dining suggestions. I arrived home after midnight on Tuesday night. Thursday I drove to Louisiana and arrived home late on Friday night.

Saturday I cleaned my apartment and prepared to have my co-worker, Jim, and his wife over for dinner. Jim and I have worked together for 10.5 years. He’s like a second dad to me. We started with appetizers and wine. For dinner I made my mom’s recipe for Shrimp Etoufee. My mom and dad are both from Louisiana, so we have some great family recipes. :)


Since I couldn’t make it to San Antonio for Mother’s Day, Lindsay invited me to brunch with her family. I LOVE Lindsay's parents. They live in a beautiful house on Lake Conroe. After brunch we had mimosas on the deck and visited. With the exception of the appetizer tray on Saturday night, I didn’t take any photos…so unlike me. I’m just too tired.

Yay, Joan Rivers won the Celebrity Apprentice. I know there are many people who aren’t fans of Joan Rivers. I don’t understand why? I love her! For years and years my friend, Tiffany, and I have loyally watched Joan on the Red Carpet, no matter what channel she's on. Joan is funny, honest, and real. She completely deserved to win the Celebrity Apprentice. Not only is Joan passionate about her charity, she is very involved. Yay for Joan…

    I think Joan is scary, but hilarious. I saw her walking down the street once. That lady has some seriously firm skin ;)

    That tray looks delicious. Glad you had a nice time.

    I didn't realize that both your parents are from Louisiana. We'll have to share recipes. I love Crawfish Etoufee. Do you like Gumbo?

    I love Joan Rivers. She's soooo funny!

    I would never get that dolled up for class. Haha! Although I *was* wearing a dress today... it was far more teacher-y.
