Tuesday night, Ashlie, Rebecca and I had a girls night and went to see Legally Blonde: The Musical. It was FABULOUS!!!
We had so much fun. We ate dinner first at Bourbon Street, which was delicious. I ordered the Mahi-mahi...I know, I'm eating seafood on a semi-regular basis, which is bizarre. But it seemed like one of the healthiest options, and I had been doing so well with counting calories and working out.
We walked 5 blocks in the cold and in our heels to get to the Civic Center (I hadn't realized how far it was, we were frozen and almost running to make it on time!) Our seats were in the first level of the balcony seating and they were pretty good. I had to strain my eyes a little, but the cast was mic'd up and we could hear everything.
I had a big, stupid grin on my face the whole time. It was the best musical I have ever seen (and the only one, haha!). The songs were so cute, and there was even a real Bruiser (the dog) who was adorable, and knew his lines perfectly. I never wanted it to end.
Now, Beauty and the Beast is coming and I MUST get tickets!

Weekend Getaway
I just spent a glorious much-needed getaway weekend in Dallas with my bestest friend in the whole world and after coming home I felt recharged and really happy.
Friday night I got there kind of late, so we didn't do much....I brought Jenny her bridesmaid dress and drank a bottle of white wine by myself, laughing hysterically when the "tea-length" dress touched the floor after she got it on. There will be serious alterations- hopefully the dress comes out looking a bit more like I had pictured in my head. We looked through the Brides of Oklahoma magazine (because I'm in it!!!!!) and made fun of a lot of color schemes/table setups/cakes, etc.
Saturday we got up and headed to our favorite restaurant of all time- Schlotzsky's!!! After a delicious lunch, we went to the Bux for coffee and then over to Jenny and Tim's church friends' house to talk about owning homes in the neighborhood they lived in. I met the most adorable Poodle/Cavalier King Charles Spaniel cross- Lucy. She lay with me most of the visit, curled up in my arms. I want one.
After about an hour, we were supposed to go meet with Barb, the realtor....but she called and said her car was messed up and she needed to reschedule. We were pretty disappointed, and didn't know what to do for the rest of the afternoon. We ended up going back to the apartment and watching Twilight, while Tim made us some vegan rueben sandwiches using avocado instead of corned beef- they were amazing.
Jenny had free tickets to the Studio Movie Grill, and we went to see "It's Complicated." We almost missed the beginning because we were trapped in a stupid traffic jam, but we made it. The movie was really good- we ordered dinner and had great seats. It was a little slow at first, and I didn't really like the ending...so I gave it a B. Jenny was split between a B+ and an A-. FYI.
Sunday was nice and lazy. I thought they were at church all morning so I kept forcing myself to go back to sleep every time I woke up. I finally got out of bed at 11:30 and realized Jenny had been home the whole time. We got ready and went to eat at Cafe Brasil....it was awesome food, and they had a coffee bar! Yum. The plan after that was to go to Borders, but we had seen a preview for "Leap Year" the night before, and decided to go see that instead!
We love movies.
It was a really cute, cliche romance movie and it was perfect for the mood I was in. I said goodbye and reluctantly drove back to OKC, listening to "The Secret Garden" on my new favorite Audiobooks app.
Now it's Monday again, and bootcamp is just a few hours away. I hope Friday comes fast. Thank you for the lovely weekend, J-Pro.

Happy 2010!
Wow....twenty-ten! So crazy. I really like the numbers that make up 2010. Much more than 2011 or the rest of the 20-years.
Our New Years Eve was really fun! Josh and Jana came over at 7 and we started into the mountain of food and appetizers that I had bought. Potatoe skins, mozzerella sticks, sausage, cheese, crackers, chips, grapes...I bought so much food because they said their friends from Stillwater were coming over too, but then they ended up ditching us. Oh well, more for us!
We played Ryan's new board game called "Would You Rather" and it was pretty funny. You get all of these riduculous and hilarious scenarios and you have to decide which you would rather do. Like, "As a man, would you rather have your grandmother's first name or her haircut?" And "Would you rather go through life with no tastebuds or no feeling in your fingertips." We stopped playing halfway through to watch The Hangover, it was even funnier the second time around. We took shots of all kinds of stuff...tequila and Absynthe that we had bought on our cruise to Mexico. Mallory and Patrick showed up around 10pm and the party continued.
The boys decided they were going to taser each other with Jana's taser, so I filmed it with my camcorder. Patrick sucked up a bunch of helium from the balloons before he got tased, so he sounded like an Oompa Loompa being zapped.
At five minutes until midnight, we opened the champagne (I bought this new kind made by Barefoot, it was a little cheaper than the kind I usually buy and just as good!) We counted down from 10 and at exactly midnight...our TV shut off!! We were so mad! I figured out that it was because we set our DVD machine to reset at midnight every night so it can update itself, I never even thought to turn that funtion off. Haha. We popped this huge confetti shooter and my living room has never been messier. Patrick and Mallory left shortly afterwards, and Josh and Jana slept on the couch for a few hours while we went to bed.
The next morning there was stuff EVERYWHERE, but I'm so glad we finally had a New Years party at our house. And the decorations were a hit! :)
