Ladies' Night

As Chris has already said,I went to a bachelorette party this weekend. Today photos are all of us (Katie, me, Brandy, Josie, Amy, Jennifer & Riley) in front of the limo we rented for the night and the bride and me in the limo. We began the day with a shower Saturday at 3. Then we grilled out and had a nice dinner. At this point, many of the girls were drinking. After dinner, we got dolled up and waited on the limo. We went to downtown Nashville to the Cadalliac Ranch. It took the place of the Red Iguana. We got there around 9:30 and stayed there dancing until 12:30. Then we called the limo driver and we went to a new place called Stampedes. That was bad, so we left 15 minutes later and went to Steak N Shake. Eating at 1:30 in the morning is probably not a great idea, but hey, why not? We then napped in the limo on the way home. I did discover that I am getting a little old for this because I didn't want to drink (I'm not keen on hangovers) and was ready for bed around 11! It was fun, though.We had a great time. Oh, and Katie, we did not find a Peter for Brandy.

In other news, as Chris said, we did not get a car. I was very upset with the salesman. I told them I wanted a base model with NO extras. He kept talking about the cars he can get in and they all had the "preferred package", which is about $2000 worth of stupid extras like first aid kits. I told him I wasn't paying $60 for a first aid kit and he told me that if that was what he could get in, that is what I was going to have to take . I don't think so. So, back to the drawing board.

School is now out and I will start my summer hours on Tuesday. My audit is on June 6th, so wish me luck. All is well and I hope that everyone is doing well.

They got me

Today the senior class got me. Today was there class day and they do gag gifts for some of their teachers. Well, I was included. They called me into the theater and made me stand on stage. Then Krista said, "Because you like to dress up so much...you know, Marilyn at the Murder Mystery, Baby from "Dirty Dancing"...we thought you should have your own dress up kit. Now you can dress up anytime!" I got a funny set. It is a pink feather fan, pink tiara and jewelry set and shoes. I work the tiara all day for them. At least I didn't get the Metamucil and anti-wrinkle cream!

Things are going pretty well. Chris wants to keep looking at some other cars, but I think I have finally settled on the RAV4. I really like it, as far as large cars go. We really need to replace my car soon. It appearantly has a terminal disease. :) I am starting to get excited about the prospect of a new car. I love mine, but it is time to upgrade!

That is about it for now. Tomorrow I am going to a pancake fundraiser at O'Charley's. Then, I have to go to a baby shower and drop off my rings at Kay's for refinishing. I think it will be a productive day. I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Crazy days!

Ok, I know it has been a long time since anyone has heard anything from me, so here it goes. I finally graduated last Friday with a BA in Public Relations. Unfortunately, no one thought to bring a camera, so we have no pics. I am going to order a couple of the pics they take when you graduate. They are a little pricy, but it is worth it to have a record of the event. Steve and Peggie came down for it. I appreciate that. We ate at Chris' choice of Cozymel's. It was very good. Chris and his mom spent all day Saturday woking on this blog thing and I went grocery shopping. Although I love my husband dearly, it hurt my feelings that he did not mention me in his blog on Saturday. Anywhoo.....we found out that my car needs to be replaced. The guy Chris took it to told him it would be about four grand to put a new transmission in. So, we are looking for a new car. As much as I would love to have another convertible, we need a car that is comfortable to take trips in and has good gas mileage. My front runner right now is the Toyota RAV 4. It has all the room we need and it gets 29 mpg. (That is actual, I know someone who drives a new one. And, she has had it for a year.) I tried on my dress and shoes for the wedding we are in this summer. That is about it. Graduation for Santa Fe is on Chris' birthday. He won't tell me what he wants to do, so that is still in the air. Anyway, happy Mother's Day to all and have a great week!
