This past weekend my parents were gracious enough to watch Alex all weekend long. My dad got to my house at exactly 4:30 Friday afternoon to pick up his grandson. I think its awesome for them to do that. I know Alex needs time to relax from school,taekwondo, and his daddy and I. My parents need time to spoil him with out Frank and I looking over their shoulders♥

I had never been into the club scene. My husband got over it a long time ago. Thank God!. As far as drinking goes,we just don't do it anymore. I really enjoyed our last date night together at the Millers Outdoor Theatre. I heard on the radio that there was going to be a free performance there for Saturday night. I looked it up and it was for Benise-En Fuego. I had never heard of him. I figured it was going to be just Spanish guitar nothing to exciting. It did not matter, I just love the environment. I love sitting on top of the hill at night with Frank watching the sky get darker and the different cultures that are in this wonderful city. I also love that its free!!

The performance was amazing. He played all different types of songs as you can tell from the clip. The dancers were amazing. It was a very good concert. Having a good time doesn't always mean having to spend money. If you live in the Houston area next week will be the last free concert for the year. I can't wait for more awesome date nights on the hill.

My BzzKit
I received a coupon for a free box of Gorton's Skillet Crisp Tilapia
I also received coupons and a spatula

I "bought" my free box at Kroger's. It came with 5 pieces in the box. Without the free coupon it would have been over $6.00. I don't quite remember the exact price. I think it is a little too pricey for 5 pieces of fillets. One piece did not fill me up even with sides. My son who is five at two pieces without any problems.

Satisfaction guaranteed. I honestly don't think you will need this though. The fillets are actually quite good and taste really fresh. We loved it!

You can cook this 2 methods. Either in the oven or stove top. I chose to use a skillet on the stove top. I told my husband to call me when he was 30 minutes away from home so I could start on his fillets. Very easy to cook. No mess and no stickiness to skillet which equalls to easy clean up!!

Kiss Nail Dress-Pictures

Okay so today I was feeling a little lazy. I have been on a crocheting frenzy and I cant seem to stop. My nails were bare and I needed to go to Michael's to buy more yarn. My nails needed a quick fix. I remembered that I had won 2 packages of Kiss Nail Dress and I grabbed the first set I saw. They only took about 15 minutes to apply. No drying time was needed.

Book Description

Release Date: October 2, 2012

Set in a Colorado ski town, Kaya McLaren's How I Came To Sparkle Again is a remarkable breakout novel that chronicles three people and their journey from loss to love; heartbreak to hope
Jill Anthony spent her young adulthood in the ski town of Sparkle, Colorado. But more than a decade has passed since she left when, only weeks after a very late miscarriage, she finds her husband in bed with another woman, she flees Austin, Texas for the town she knows: Sparkle.

Lisa Carlucci wakes up one morning after another night of meaningless sex, looks in the mirror and realizes that she no longer wants to treat her body like a Holiday Inn. She’s going to hold out for love. The only problem is, love might come in the form of her ski bum best friend, who lives next door with his ski bum friends in a trailer known as “the Kennel.”
Cassie Jones, at age ten, has lost her mother to cancer and no longer believes in anything anymore. She knows her father is desperately worried about her, and she constantly looks for messages from her deceased mother through the heart-shaped rocks they once collected in the streams and hills of Sparkle.
Three people at the crossroads of heartbreak and healing. Three lives that will be changed one winter in Sparkle. One tender, funny, tear-jerking novel you won’t soon forget.

I found UNREALY candy at CVS and Walgreens. At CVS, it was located in a round bin in front of the cash registers. At Walgreens, they were in a sidecap not on the candy isle.
