I woke up this morning with only 2 things on my agenda....1) go to Skinstar for my 11:30 appointment and 2) eat lunch with Mar.  We have a lunch set in stone every Thursday. Well, I got a call from Mar saying it was a crazy day and that he had 6 emergency patients and couldn't eat with me...SO the only plan I had was my appointment at Skinstar.  Well, Shanny calls me at 11:15 asking me if our lunch date with our sweet friend, Nancy, was at 11:30.  I thought our lunch was NEXT Thursday due to an iPhone auto correction message on a FB message that said the third instead of thurs....LOL!! On a side note, Shanny texted me one day and said she couldn't go to Zimbabwe!! She was typing that shse couldn't go to Zumba but her iPhone auto corrected it! HA! :) Anyway, I rushed to Skinstar for my MUCH NEEDED appointment and then headed to have a wonderful, fun lunch at Capers with Nancy and Shanny. I then met Hannah, Rosy, and Banner at Pleasant Ridge and we shopped for awhile and got cupcakes. :) Then, I came home for about an hour before I headed to my nephew's football game.  So my lazy day turned into a fun-filled eventful day.  :) Mar is off work tomorrow so tonight is our Friday!! WOO-HOO!! We can sleep in tomorrow! Lamar's alarm goes off at 5:45 every morning.  It's so funny because he has the station set to a Spanish station and we laugh every morning when it goes off because of the funny music that is playing. :) Anyway, here are some pictures from this week.
I ate lunch with Shanny on Monday at Capers (same place we ate today).  The waiters all know her in there and know exactly what to bring her.  It's so much fun! They brought her a ton of lemons and 2 extra cups of ice!! HA! :) She usually only asks for one.  She's not high maintenance at all and super super sweet....she just loves her drink a certain way and they all love her to pieces in there and know what she wants. Shanny is seriously one of the sweetest most compassionate people I know. She loves everyone!!! :) AND, she's the best nurse I've ever seen, too!!!
Yesterday, Mar called me and told me he wasn't having a lunch break (although he ended up getting one) and he wasn't going to get home until later in the evening because he had his weekly meeting with Gayle Bone, who he loves.  SO, I decided on the spur of the moment to pick up Rosy and head on down to OBU to bring Macy her clothes that she left at home and to hang her curtains.  When we got there, we unpacked Macy's clothes and then picked up Abby at her class room building and headed to this GREAT restaurant called Fat Boys. The barbecue was as good as Terri-Lynns which is saying A LOT!! Their chicken nuggets (Rosy got them) were amazing, too! I'll be eating at that place a lot this year!!  
Not the greatest picture of me but I love this picture of Macy's hair!!! I think her hair is so pretty!! It's super thick, too! 
After we ate, we headed to Wal-Mart to buy black out curtains to go behind Macy's chocolate brown curtains that I got her because the light was showing through (even though they're lined) and making them look a little maroon. Also, Macy really wanted to have NO light shining through at night...there's a light right outside her room that shines through.  After Wal-Mart we went to the ice cream place again (2nd time this week) and then headed back to the dorm to hang the curtains.  We got Macy tension rods to hang them and they were only $2.97!!! WOW!! Rosy was having so much fun playing with Macy and Abby.  Abby LOVED Macy's bottom bunk bed.  It has a ton of memory foam.  Macy's top bunk has even more.   
Abby likes the smell of fish food which is so funny to me!!! Rosy loved looking at Macy's fish. 
Macy's room with her new curtains (I wanted to hang them higher but we couldn't find a curtain rod that OBU would allow).  Got them at Pier 1 (click on link to see the fabric up close)...they have little polka dots on them. I love them! After we hung Macy's curtains, we hung out for a little bit and then left where we would be home by 5:00. I was too tired to do anything once I got home. It was so much cooler outside last night and was such a relief but I was too tired to even go walking.
Shanny, Banny, and Brina at Cannon's football game tonight.  It felt wonderful outside!! HEAVENLY!!!
Some of the fam....minus Sheldon and Sabrina...Sabrina's taking the picture and Sheldon is off taking pictures of the football players.


Just Maxx hangin out in a box. LOL! :)

Shanny was talking to the coach's daughter and Rosebud for a long time. :) Their conversation was really cute.
Cannon with Mar and Poppy...this is the only time he'll be shorter than them...see next pix.
See what I'm talking about.  Look how tall he is!! He is in the 8th grade and is 6'3"!!!!  He is an AMAZING football player, too!! Maxx is beside him...he's my nephew, too, and he is SUPER smart...this is one talented family, I tell ya.  I haven't even mentioned the fact that Sabrina (the gorgeous girl in the pix) is a wonderful artist and so is Madie (my niece who isn't pictured).  My brother, Shel, is also a great artist, a lawyer (although he doesn't practice anymore because they own Skinstar and he likes it MUCH better), and the funniest person I know!!  

Well, Mar-e-doodle is wanting to head on back to bed and I'm HUNGRY so I'm heading to the kitchen first...yes, eating at 10:55 pm and I didn't walk today, either. :)

Fast and Easy Rolo Brownie Bites

Happy Happy Friday, y'all! Some of y'all might know that back in the day I had a baking blog. And, by back in the day, I mean I started it in 2009 and my last post was in 2011. I probably should update it and keep adding to it, but I just don't bake or cook as much anymore now that our nest is empty. But, I did have so much fun with that blog. I would just bake or cook as usual but along the way I would take pictures and blog about the recipes. I still go back to that site and get recipes. I send my kids and friends there when they are wanting a certain recipe, too. It's so easy to just send them a link. I'm all about fast and easy recipes! One of my favorite super easy "go to" recipes are these super yummy and easy brownie bites. I first blogged about these in 2009 here but thought I would add the yummy recipe to this blog, too.  Ingredients: Brownie Mix (I use the Duncan Hines 13x9 family size). Rolo's (they now have them unwrapped) WOOHO...

Dresser Redo

I've been so bad at blogging in the past few years. I blog so I can remember. I painted a set of chest of drawers a few years ago in our other house and I loved the result. The only problem is I didn't blog about it so I have no record of what I did to it. I have no idea what red paint color I used. I thought I had it written on FB but I have searched and searched and I can't find anywhere where I wrote the paint color so now I have this wonderful red chest of drawers and have no idea what the color is. I didn't want that to happen again so I am making sure that I write about the chest of drawers in our master bedroom that I recently painted.  Here is the piece of furniture before Sorry about me in my robe in the mirror. LOL! I really wanted to lighten this up so I decided I would paint it white. I LOVE white and thought it would be great SO I used this chalk paint that I got at Michael's. I had already used it on my coffee table and thought it would be f...

My girl is MARRIED!!!

Oh, it's been so long since I've posted! I always say I'm going to start blogging again so I can remember things and then I never do. I get overwhelmed because I get so behind. It's like when I used to scrapbook, I would get behind and then just not do it. That's how I am about blogging but I just don't seem to remember things as well if I don't write them down and I love to have a record of life with pictures. But, I just HAD to write about Macy's wedding! I am just so happy about it!! I feel so overwhelmed with God's love for me and His goodness!!! Macy has always been such an example to me of God's grace and this is no exception. I always say, "How can Macy be MY child?" because she's just so NOT me. She is so much better! She loves mission trips, she is so laid back, and she has definitely not struggled in the same areas that I have struggled with. I've prayed for so long for specifics for Macy's future husband. The mai...
