Magnolia 171 Report post Posted January 4, 2013 Yes, hair appointment and lots of errands tomorrow, and on Sunday there is a baby shower for my new grandbaby-to-be. Today is the last day of my vacation so I'm going to relax as much as possible! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nurktwin 2,143 Report post Posted January 4, 2013 I had a great time this morning with friends for breakfast. We talked about old times as kids and high school and how much trouble we used to get into. We laughed so hard, people in the restaurant thought we were on something!! Might go out to lunch tomorrow with the daughter and then have her and her B/F over for Sunday dinner. Other than that, I'll be doing what I do best, NOTHING!!!!!!!

Rick 156 Report post Posted January 5, 2013 I'm going to try to do as little as possible. It's been a long week. I'll probably do some cleaning, sit by the fireplace. Sunday is my birthday, so we're going out for dinner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amber 70 Report post Posted January 5, 2013 ^ Happy birthday Rick!!! Love your quote! Gram Parsons was from the town I live near (Waycross, GA), so we are very in tune with your statement. We have a Gram Parsons tribute weekend in September that is full of lots of music and bands. As for my weekend plans....relax!! Classes start back on Monday....

LizzieB 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2013 The Bachelors of Austin Debutante Ball. My sister-in-laws third daughter is being presented. I've never been to a debutante ball, and I have no idea what I will think of it. Supposedly, this one is all about the party, so I'll probably like it. I'll have to report back on Sunday.

SingsInFrench 262 Report post Posted January 5, 2013 Not much; my back went out Wednesday night, so I can't do any packing. I'll watch the Packers/Vikings game tonight. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomFest 576 Report post Posted January 5, 2013 Football! Our Seahawks going into D.C. to take on the Redskins. I'd like to be optimistic, but we don't have a great history of playoff wins on the road. It's been 30 years since we won a road playoff game. Ouch.

Magnolia 171 Report post Posted January 6, 2013 Ohhh, I wanna see a photo of Lizzie all dressed up for the ball! How was it Lizzie? As you said, most any party is a good time! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieB 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2013 It was fun! It was a huge blowout party with food, drink and music (three bands). I'd say there were 500 people there. The flowers/decorations were gorgeous. I got to see some of my brother's childhood friends and meet some new ones. My niece was absolutely stunning, as were all the debutants (but Whitney was the prettiest, of course!), and everyone looked beautiful in their fancy clothes. It was fun getting all dressed up. We called it a night at 1:30, but the party went until 4:00. When we got up at 8:30 this morning, there wasn't a trace of any of it left in the hotel! Just an aside, Ben Crenshaw's daughter was a debutant and my niece said her Oscar de la Renta dress cost more than a car! She also wore silver platform shoes (the other girls wore ballet slippers) and could barely walk down the stairs! :confused: (Thank you Sheila, that's very kind. I hope to find a picture with my dress somewhere and I'll post it.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
