I'll begin somewhere, around the beginning.
The 15th was my birthday and I spent the evening at Paradise burgers with the best friend...a girl could ever ask for. <3 I'm so happy she's back in my life. We picked up, like we never left off.
The 18th Chris and I went to the new restaurant in Chandler's Landing called, "Allure".

I'm in love.
The day started off as a nice and lazy one...we got up in the afternoon (we stayed up til 6 that morning), we get up and go get some Starbucks.<3 I suck down my "snickerdoodle" and before I know it...I'm shaking. I figured it was just because I hadn't ate yet! We get all fancied up, and head out to Allure. We get there and it's damn near empty...Perfect!
Our waiter's name was Griff, later to find out, he was a regular of Chris' at Home Depot, and he recognized me from my store as well.
Small world.
Griff was a great waiter, he pulled my chair out for me when I cam back from the restroom!
For appetizers I ordered the Oyster Rockefeller, and Chris had the Shrimp Jalapeno Poppers.

AMAZING.
For our main course I ordered an 8 oz center cut top sirloin with garlic butter, truffle fries, and roasted corn.
And Chris had the Ahi Tuna Steak, crusted in sesame seeds on a bed of a mango risotto.

We both enjoyed our meals VERY much!
And here are some more pretty pictures...
Might I add...the boy puts on a HELL of a Birthday Dinner for me. ;)
After our meal we asked to speak to Chef Nay...she's a really good friend of ours. When she came out she was SO excited to see us!!! She hugged us and invited us to a dinner party at her house for the next night. THEN she came back and surprised us with this....
It was SO divine there. Everything was excellent. The food, the service, EVERYTHING. Our view was breathtaking...We watched the sunset, a sailboat, and even a lovely lightning storm before we left.
On our way home it started raining pretty hard, we were on 66 and had ZERO visibility. Chris' driving wasn't scary, it was the other assholes on the road that were freaking us out. We pulled into our Starbucks for shelter...We decided to wait it out for a bit...then it started to hail...then we noticed a circular form of wind/water beside us... it kind of freaked us out so Chris decided to make a mad dash to the door...he was counting down...I was worried about the hail so I grabbed my knit sweater that I keep in his car...
1...2...3 GO!
I open my door, and IMMEDIATELY the wind SLAMS IT SHUT pushing me back into the car, throwing my purse into the floorboard and EMPTYING IT. It sucked. So I gathered my things put my hood up and RAN LIKE CRAZY! I made it in unscathed. While we were hanging out we got some drinks, and chatted to people in there that we knew...Randomly this older guy comes up to my and waves...Ugh. Super creeper. I asked Jara who he was and she said it was just the Starbucks Creeper...I'm like..Nice. The wind kept blowing the doors open to Starbucks, it was intense! Finally things settled down to a steady rain, and we decided to head on home...we were after all just down the road. LOL

I love that man!
So, the other night I took a webinar about parenting. It discussed how to get kids to listen without yelling, repeating yourself...It was great. I loved it. It answered a lot of questions for me, and I feel like a better mom for having viewed it. Positive parenting FTW! <3
Last night I made half/half cookies...half were mini Reeses Pieces, and the other half were Andes Mint cookies. So00o0ooo0o good. Chris' Mom was in town, so I pawned half of them off on her, and her boyfriend. Hehehehe... <3
Food Porn.

The other night I got bored and did muh hurr.
I'm in kite-form at work...
I personally thought that was...odd...
This plan is growing on the side of my house...my yard crew even mowed around it...I think it's cantaloupe.
I really enjoyed spending this evening with Chris' mom, and her boyfriend. We had a good time...and of course good food is always welcomed. They keep begging us to visit them in Broken Bow...I love that area, especially in the fall...it is BEAUTIFUL!
They won't have to beg for too much longer... It's just a matter of time off/money!
We did unfortunately run into the Starbucks Creeper again...Ugh.
He kept trying to sit closer to our table on the patio, and his cigarette smoke was choking me up he was so close...and then when we were getting ready to leave he asked Chris if I worked there...Thank God I don't! Freakin' stalker...
Then we went to Wal-Mart to pick up some necessities (deodorant, flea stuff, socks, etc...)
And Chris got me this!:
I freakin love them! They're so comfy! The have little grippies on the bottom that spell out "BOO"...So I don't bust my ass on the tile...lol.
It also came with a solid black pair too! Yay!
I've been spending a lot of time on YouTube tonight...Oh how I love internet junk<3
I found these...
I like that, I feel I could do better drawing her....
Okay...I like this concept...but I feel like both bows on both eyes...was too much.
E for effort!
Chris locked Stanky in the pantry earlier because he was playing in the bags...
I opened the door, to find this...lol.
I need to try and get a video of Stanky running and JUMPING into the pile of bags...
Oh that big ol' silver bag on the bottom shelf?
That's an 8lb bag of espresso beans.
Yeah.
lolz.
Recently the girl who did the Kids Workshops quit...She's a teacher now!
So my co-worker Kem, and I volunteered for the job!
Well...I think Kem volunteered, and then recruited me. We're partners in crime now!<3
I love working with Kem because she's SO ORGANIZED! She's got a little binder dedicated to it and everything!
October is Fire Safety Month, so she wants to do a specially themed Fire Safety/Kids Workshop Event! I'm so looking forward to it! I suggested face painting because, out of all the carnie work I sometimes do at my job, that's my favorite! I've been getting super inspired tonight...
I won't lie...I wasn't as excited as I am now about the whole ordeal...But I'm determined to make this a GREAT event for Kem. We've been shopping for supplies, and we have most of it...We got my little face painting kit, a candy bowl (she event painted it, and I'll be glittering it!), we enlisted Floydicus Maximus (another co-worker) to design our customer Fire Safety Kid's Workshop aprons! I've got to get mine later today to take home to paint! Kem's looks AWESOME!
I need to post pics....I'll do that later!
I'm super excited.
SUPER
