gearing up for tonight!

the latest - traveling down south

Preston and I got back late Sunday night from spending the weekend in South Carolina with his family. We definitely are spoiled while we were there; you would've thought Sunday lunch was a holiday with the ham and fixin's his mom put together. While we were there, we went to the lake so the boys could do some fishing, a little bit of shopping, LOTS of eating, went to the Clemson game, saw some of P's friends from Charleston, and relaxed..A LOT. It was a shock of cold; Oklahoma's not quite to the 40s and 50s, but we had a great time! (And I love any excuse to wear a sweater or my uggs :) !)





We'll be back to South Carolina again in December and hope to drive the dogs out there sometime next spring. Side note: So glad ONE team we root for won this weekend. I just wish it would've been mine :(

lotsa love

I must've been in a good mood this week. All those endorphins or whatever the happy drugs are from exercise.

Hope you have a good weekend!

wordless wednesday: pics from the fair

We made it bright and early...

I was still hydrating..

Preston was not.

We rode a ride...my pick! (I don't do heights. Or upside down.)

Now, Preston tells me he doesn't do "spinning". No turning back now..

We people watched...And game watched.

And generally had a great time :) 

 

this week's grub

We're fixing to run out and pick up P a birthday iPhone. I'm excited for him to finally enter the 21st century.

 For the sake of laziness, I'm doing all I can to avoid the store this week.

Monday
Hotdogs and onion strings

Tuesday
crab bisque

Wednesday
pizza

Thursday
pork chops a la Preston

Friday
leftovers (fingers crossed)


Boring I know.

Yesterdays game day/birthday get together was a success!! I ended up cooking a pork butt. So we had barbecue sandwiches, guacamole, salsa, crab bruschetta (which was YUM), cole slaw, cookies, key lime pie and hot wings!

We also served the "basil mojitos" which were fondly called "pesto-jitos" by the end of the night. They are delish.

Ketel Citron vodka
soda
muddled fresh basil leaves

I preferred mine shaken with ice. I can't go on enough at how good these were!

Such a relief the sooners kicked some butt!! Looking forward to more cool Saturday cook outs! Hope everyone's teams did well!

Can't wait for BPad finale tomorrow! Happy Sunday!
