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.
