Weekend Trips

Last weekend my parents and I headed to Arkansas for yet another wedding. This one was for a family friend that Jason and I grew up with. Somewhere there is a video of us being rock stars...don't you wish you could see that! I was on keyboard...not sure what Jason and Brock where doing. We stopped in Memphis on the way because mom had a test at the University of Memphis. Dad and I used that time to shop. I didn't have any luck with finding shoes for work, but it was fun to look (I am too picky about my tennis shoes). We also went to look at TVs and cameras, but didn't buy anything. I tried Pottery Barn Outlet again this trip but no luck there either. I made mention of getting some yummy cupcakes at Muddy's that Heather had mentioned on her blog, so we stopped there before picking up mom.

We got two red velvet with cream cheese icing, lemon with lemon icing, strawberry with strawberry icing, and chocolate with mint icing. Very good and very sweet, so we saved some for the next day! Lemon and mint chocolate were my favorites! I will definitely be making a stop there another time. Thanks for the suggestion Heather!

At some point during the trip my car reached 1,000 miles! I had to document the moment!!

On the way back, we made a stop in Germantown to see sweet Ruby (and Jason, too). We went to lunch and then explored Fresh Market...very fun. After that we ventured to the Mall...again, no luck with the shoes. I had to ask the girl to let me try on the left shoe, too. I figured the 2nd time she would know to give me the left shoe...nope, had to ask again. That made me mad, so I decided not to buy from them...I didn't care for either pair I tried on, so I probably would not have bought a pair anyway.

This weekend I headed to Franklin to visit with a couple of classmates! We missed S.C. who has to work in Hawaii...poor thing and B.P. who never checks her email! Don't worry B.P., Sept. will be here before we know it! It was nice to get away and visit with friends. Wish it could have lasted longer. I had planned on shopping since it was tax free weekend, but the crowds at the mall just about sent me over the edge...think Christmas but worse.

I have today off, so I hope to actually get my room cleaned and organized, but also enjoy the day...after I get my allergy shots. Sounds fun...I know!
