Sittin on the Couch...

It is a lovely Sunday afternoon and I am sitting on the couch in comfy clothes with a big fat blanket watching the Red Carpet for the Grammy's. I have to say that the Grammy's are one of my least favorite award shows. I am always appalled at what these people are wearing, and the actual award show usually makes me mad. But, rest assured, at some point tomorrow I will do a best and worst dressed post!

It has been a wonderful weekend. I've had alot of rest, alot of together time with my man, alot of good fellowship with my good friend Julie, and alot of good food!

I probably should clean the house up from our fun weekend, but I'm actually feeling quite content with leaving it be for now. Both Grant and I are relaxing right now and there is no need to ruin that!! I will make a homemade pizza for dinner tonight and I am greatly looking forward to that.

Okay Lady Gaga just got onto the red carpet and oh-my-mercy she is bizarre. I am not into her. She looks like the Intergalactic Statue of Liberty Solar System Princess. And HELLO to her mega-short "skirt".... I think I can almost see her area.

Okay I had an apple as a snack and that is just not going to cut it. I'm off to eat some Oreos. Peace.

El Breakfast

Have you ever had a breakfast taco?

If you have not, then please let me know so I can add you to my prayer list.

I was just eating one and then I thought "I have to blog about this right now".

Breakfast tacos come in many different varieties and flavors. My personal "old faithful" is the sausage, egg, and cheese breakfast taco.

It is heaven.

Some people add salsa, but I do not.

The building I work in is attached to a fancy-schmancy hotel and if you call by a certain time in the morning, you can get 2 breakfast tacos from the hotel restaurant for $2.

That is $1 per taco.

They are so good.

They go great with a Diet Coke.

Amen.

I Haven't Cooked Since Thursday

When Grant's parents come in town, we eat. And then we sleep and then we eat. And then we shop and then we eat. And then we sleep again and then we eat. Shower. Eat.

I love it when Grant's parents come in town.

I think I can best describe the weekend in list format:

Places We Shopped:

1. Ikea (Oh-my-good-gracious)

2. Hobby Lobby (Hooray for picking out fabulous fabric for my dining room chairs!)

3. Tuesday Morning (it was a hidden one that I had never seen before and a whole new world has been opened to me)

4. Ross

5. Marshall's Home Goods

6. Charming Charlie

7. Target

Glory, glory hallelujah.

Things We Ate:

1. King Cake that a New Orleans friend brought to Grant. It had a cream cheese filling. Oh yes, it did.

2. BBQ at Goode Company.

3. Pasta and breadsticks at The Olive Garden

4. French Fried Onions, bread with honey butter and yummy steaks at Salt Grass Steakhouse. (We tried to go to Taste of Texas but the wait was 2 FLIPPING HOURS so we voted no!)

Things Grant and his Dad did:

1. Golf
2. Golf

We had a wonderful, wonderful time with them and they got back to New Orleans just in time to watch the Saints game! Hooray for the Saints going to the Superbowl! We always have such a great visit with them.

Yesterday, after church, we went to eat lunch with a bunch of friends cause Grant and I were craving some mexican food. We went to Cyclone Anaya's and I filled up on chips and queso but then I filled up again on tacos.

I should be full but I'm not.

I Promise This Whole Post Is Not Going to Be About Vomit

I know, I know. Today is Friday and the last time I posted it was Monday. However, there have been some events that have unfolded since the Golden Globes post and I was unable to blog.

What happened, you ask?


Something died inside of me and really wanted to come out but couldn't, and then I thrashed around in bed for a day and then I spent the hours of 5pm-3am hugging the toilet and then I died and then I came back to life.


Today, I feel like a new woman. Praise the Lord. That was not a good side of me!


You know what else is awesome? Grant's parents are in town! Hooray! They drove in late last night. I am at work today, but Grant took the day off and he is playing (you guessed it!) golf with his dad. His mom is visiting with one of her dear friends who lives in Houston. We are so glad to have them here. As usual, we will eat our way through Houston this weekend! I just hope my appetite is back by then. I'm still a little scared to eat anything. This has been a very strange way to lose weight! :)
