Vaca So Far

Friday we worked out at the gym having our pick of any equipment we wanted, took Riley to run at the lake, got oil changes, basically all the things we do on the weekend but during the week with no crowds is much more enjoyable!

Yesterday it rained but luckily not all day. We were going to go to Dallas for David's best friend's birthday, but I fell off the sofa onto a remote. I have a huge bruise on my leg the purple & black kind. It is about the length of my entire hand to give you a visual size. When I fell on the remote it hit my tailbone and I'm pretty sure I bruised that as well. Needless to say I did not feel like riding in a car for 3 hours so we apologized profusely to David's friend and will go sometime in the next upcoming weeks.

We did go to The Melting Pot . After we ate I felt as big as a house. we ordered Boston Lager Cheese, Fondu Feast for our entree, California Salads, with Cookies & Cream for desert. I also had 3 Ying & Yang Martinis, they were not strong at all but made with Godiva and it tasted like I was drinking ice cream...So Good!!





Today I am missing my favorite day of Mardi Gras, Ernst Cafe's Bacchus Bash. Bands play while drink & food stands serve all day. I really wish I was there, I haven't missed a day there since Emily & I first went.

Although David & I are going downtown today. It should be fun!


Riley is going to come downtown with us, traveling in a Vera Bradley tote.....KIDDING!

Riley is so cute! I miss Austin. We were in Waco last night and I was telling Mr. Guru that I wouldn't mind moving back and living there.

OK...I got the bowl on my coffee table at Nordstrom, in their home section. I got it at the Houston Galleria. It is 3 "petal like" bowls placed inside one another.

I am glad you like it! It is striking on the table.

Let me know if you find it, and I want to see a pic of where you put it!

I have always wanted to try the Melting Pot but never have. Guess I'll just have to now. Btw, I LOVE cookies and cream:) Hope you have fun on the rest of your stay-cation!

You two are adorable. And the dog in the bag is too cute. What a good idea to vacay in your own town for the whole weekend! I love it and may totally steal the idea!
