Relaxation

So I've been a little MIA since I'm on vacation this week. I've been running all over Big D trying to fill my shopping addiction that I just can't sate in LR. The run-down of my week so far

Sunday: Spent whole day at the lakehouse with my Dad and little sister. That is my happy place, when I have time I will have to dedicate a whole post to the place that I think of in my mind when I want to "run away from it all."

Monday: Spent more time with my Dad at the lake. Drove back to Dallas. Had dinner with Grandma and helped her shop for 44 cent greeting cards at Wal Mart, we now have cards for the entire family for the rest of the year (when you live in another state from your family this is what you do on vacation)

Tuesday: Lunch at Snuffers (yum!) and then off to Ikea. This is stop I try to never miss when I come home. Happy hour and more with my bestie from high school Emily. Way too much craziness to admit to the internet world, but I'm pretty sure the dance party at 3:00am in her parking garage was the high point.

Wednesday: Recovery from Tuesday's happy hour sake bombs. Went to Barnes and Noble, bought the last 2 books in the Twilight series and this awesome cookbook that I love. Dinner with Grandma and Aunt Gail. Heard stories about my mom and aunt growing up in Canada which were hilarious. Rented season one of the Tudors and my mom and I watched it into the wee hours of the morning. That show is ridiculously good.

Thursday: SHOPPING!! Went to my mecca, Northpark mall. Got a sweater at Club Monaco, three dresses at Banana Republic, another sweater at J.Crew, makeup at Sephora, two shirts at Forever 21, a Texas charm necklace at James Avery (I love my state!) and to finish it off I dropped in to visit Emily at Neimans and got the Tory Burch flip flops that I've been coveting. Whew! Dinner with Dad at his favorite restaurant Campisi's. More Tudors with Mom.

Friday: Slept in, all that Tudors watching late into the night and family visiting was taking a toll on me. Found out the plumbing was backed up (tree roots are hell on pipes in old houses like my Mom's) so no showering for me. Good thing I bought dry hair shampoo at Sephora on Thurs. Lunch and then went to get a wedding gift for tomorrow. Finished season one of the Tudors while waiting for the plumber to arrive. Man I need to see season two soon. That show is amazing.

Tomorrow is the wedding that I came in town for in the first place. I am pretty excited to see my college friends that I haven't seen in a while. Will update with pics when I return to Arkansas on Sunday, or maybe Monday lets not get over ambitious here.

Adios amigos
