Well it was a Filet with twice baked blue cheese potatoes and a salad...dinner...oh and a slice of cheesecake.
And while I am admitting things - actually I didn't win anything, but I did break 100 on the golf course and I had fewer putts than my (usually) putter-master husband.
For the first time a "for-serious," non-goat patch, full par-72 I shot under 100!! I had a grand total of 32 putts, which is pretty dang awesome. Had I been able to hit my driver on the first so say 13 holes, I would have given Andrew a true run for his (actually our) money.
If you care, I shot a 98 and when factoring handicap, I shot a 64.
And as for the rest of our weekend...we cleaned house, did yard work, ran errands, bought John another present, took Tucker to the vet, walked/played 18 holes (approximately 8 miles, while carrying about 15lbs on my back), then ate at Kiefer's yesterday. Today, we slept "in" because of the time change, we made it to 7:30 rather than the usual 6:30, shopped on Soap.com for all kinds of necessary household items, then played another 18 holes and walked about 6 miles...carrying my clubs again.

Little More John...
Sister needed a boy more than she needed anything else in this world. God knew exactly what he was doing by giving her this little monster. Not only does he make my world go round - he also has forced Sister to let go just a little bit...it was needed - she will admit it. Just like I needed Tucker to make sure I cleaned my house every week (Mom, I know you are thrilled!)
Take these pictures, both from last night, for example...
On the way to dinner at Mellow Mushroom, they spotted this "biggggggd monster tuck" in the parking lot of Advanced Auto...so what do they do, go get pictures in front of it and get the drivers autograph! And they found out that there is a monster truck rally this weekend in OS so what are they doing tomorrow - taking John to the monster truck rally!!!
And this happened when they got home...now she is going to kill me for posting this - but it is too funny not to share. I guess when your parents just discovered the leak coming from the washing machine, you cover your eyes with anything you can find...I will let Sister's caption say it all....
"Oh yeah. Those are pads. The maxi variety"

Pioneer Woman Book Signing
As I might have mentioned...Kim and I decided on a Thursday night to go to Memphis the next afternoon for one reason, well may be two, but really to see Pioneer Woman!!! As an added bonus we got to meet her husband too! And just in case you really didn't believe me that we went, the evidence is below...
And yes we were only, slightly, possible, excited. Okay!?!

Just one to get you started...
And my personal favorite...

Suggestion to Gas Stations
Put the dang air station under a cover too!!
Because before I put air in my tires during a "cold snap" I like to see if when it warms up again if the tires still need air - which is exactly what I did from Sunday until Monday night...so when the tire pressure light was still on Tuesday morning and it was mid-50's, I decided the tires must really need air. I give my father all the credit in the world for teaching me that the pressure in our tires drops when it is cold, and expands when it is warm, and that you should consider that when filling tires.
However, I was also "running a little behind" this morning and managed to make it to the gas station to get air at the exact time that the rain started really coming down. And don't give me a smart-a comment about needing to use an umbrella...have you ever tried to put air in your tires, while holding the pressure gauge, in a dress, while holding an umbrella - that's what I thought.
So I came to work this morning with wet clothes and hair all because the dang air pump isn't covered....and because I am stubborn and my dog wouldn't get up...

Must Tell You Something...
We had a super stinky, nasty, disgusting puppy living in our house. He managed to avoid his twice-monthly bath since - oh you aren't going to believe this - mid-January!! That's right, he missed approximately 3 trips to the tub. So he got a good rub-a-dub-dub, Tucky and Momma in the tub last night! I should tell you that he loves bath-time and does amazing well when I use the tub...the hose outside is a completely different story, he thinks it is time to play chase with the water coming out of the hose.
Anyway, when I put him outside this morning he smelt like a vanilla bean, my guess is that he will smell like a stinky dog that has rolled in the mud by this afternoon.

Weekend Recap
Well let's start on Friday -
1) We had steaks, in the rain, because I wanted a steak
2) It was topped with caramelized onion and blue cheese cream sauce with Whiskey glazed carrots
3) There was also a trip to Bruster's that involved a hot brownie sundae
Saturday...
1) Tucker sweetly woke us at 6:30am
2) We canceled our tee-time because of the rapidly approaching rain
3) Paid bills and cleaned house
4) Had Chick-Fil-A for breakfast
5) I went furniture shopping for MB and Andrew went "looking" at Dick's sporting goods and Bass Pro
5) I went to the mall to get a wedding shower gift from Dillard's
6) The boys were waiting for me on the porch to go to PetSmart
7) Tucker was the center of attention for 30 minutes and loved every minute of it
8) Nap time for all
9) Got ready for a wedding shower while eating a pan of homemade cinnamon rolls because we were starving
10) Went to a wedding shower
11) Woke up at 12:30am by the dead battery alert on the Carbon Monoxide detector
12) After spending an hour attempting to figure out what was beeping, how to reach the beeping thing (10 foot ceiling with a 3 foot step ladder doesn't do much), how to get blank-blank thing down, taking out the batteries, oh did I mention Andrew standing on a step ladder on top of an ottoman??
SUNDAY
1) Tucker woke us up at 6:30 then decided it was a false alarm and wanted to go back to sleep
2) Went to 8:45 Church and realized that it was dang cold outside
3) Grabbed brunch at Corner Bakery and decided that it needed to warm up more before I would be playing golf this afternoon
4) Ran to Lowe's for all kinds of yard stuff
5) Decided to take a nap and see what it felt like at 12:30, oh and Andrew turned the heat back on in the house because it was 60 inside
5) Sent Andrew to the golf course alone since it was 45 degrees at 12:30 with decent winds and no sun and my shoulder was hurting...actually Tucker begged me to stay at home with him so we could watch golf, NASCAR, and the back-sides of our eyelids...as I type, he is in super tight ball with his back feet under he head and is snoring up a storm.
6) Promised to have dinner ready when Andrew gets home...but I need an onion for dinner and really don't want to go to Kroger so I think I will just make it without an onion (and hope that Andrew doesn't notice it is missing...)
