Easter Weekend
Lets see, where to start! This has been an eventful weekend, to say the least! I have been suffering from a mad case of insomnia, giving up and just getting out of bed at 4 am, after watching the clock tick away.... No I'm not overloaded with Caffeine... no I'm not overthinking things... I am literally laying in bed zoned out completely on black space...
Anyways, that disclaimer was just in case I get out of order!
OH - and the storms that came through town... funny thing. Thor, our dog, who is named after the God of Thunder... Get this - HATES THUNDER. Not in a hide under the bed and wait for it to be over kind of way.... but like "How DARE YOU try to invade my space, I'll hunt you down and give you the most vicious barkfest I've got in my little 12 pound frame!" kind of way!
Saturday, we had quite the eventful day! Thor started things off with a dog-gone Easter Egg Hunt at Reservoir. What Fun this was! There were people and dogs dressed up in kooky outfits, which I did not expect... At least Thor wore his yankees! So it was a bit unorganized... which, being a planner drove me a little nuts, but we waited patiently as we could and then it began! Thor didn't seem to care much for the eggs, but you would think they were filled with money the way Amber went to town. FINALLY we got her to understand we only wanted the GOLD egg... which we found, and won a portrait of Thor! woo hoo add to the art collection!
Then we came home and ended up going to Pinnacle Mountain for Saddle Creek's Egg Hunt. Lots of fun,
ran into Leah from Amber's class... came home and finished getting ready for Sunday.
Then it was time to start prepping. We had a brunch for a group of friends, and it was delish! Test Drove a new creation made by my loving husband, and inspired by our trip to Dallas. We now have a Greek Pile, with delish gyro and taziki, eggs, potatoes and garlic biscuit! yum yumm!
It rained ALL day, so we told the kids to go upstairs and all the adults hid eggs. I think we had as much fun hiding them as they did finding them!
Our new Easter Tradition, as Amber was not that interested in Dying eggs this year: We are goign to start painting wooden eggs to keep year after year. We all three sat down and painted eggs Sunday after everyone went home!

Spring
It is officially spring here! Some days are absolutely gorgeous, others are rainy. Every once in a while its 32, welcome to arkansas!
The last weekend of March was eventful! I got a new car - Toyota Sequoia - on Thursday and we took it on a road trip to Dallas. When we left arkansas it was 74 degrees and gorgeous, which is what we packed for... only to arrive in Dallas 4 hours later and find that it was 38 degrees, and the newsmen were warning of possible snow! in Dallas! Weather aside, we found an amazing breakfast place that we ate at every morning, and will now be our regular breakfast place (sorry Word of Mouth.... this is better AND closer!) www.breadwinnerscafe.com. Of course we also had our delicious Chow Thai the first night, and Nobu the second night... what amazing tuna and Kobe beef! Great shopping- Morgan found some great jeans, I got an awesome top... waiting on the completion of the workout before I do any serious shopping. Only 3 weeks to go! It was nice to get out of town and connect with each other after the hectic few weeks we'd had!
This week also marked my final week as a board member for the PTA at Amber's school. It could not have come at a better time, as I am getting more and more busy with my event planning. I have a huge proposal I am working on that could very well guarantee me a hefty commission every year! I am also working on designing my very first website from scratch. Its not cooperating 100% yet, so for now you can see it at www.allindetails.com/heather I don't know why it won't put the information on the FRONT page, but I'll be consulting people who know what they are doing soon!
Last Friday it was so gorgeous, Morgan and I went to the driving range to hit some golf balls. I think I'm going to get my first set of clubs for my birthday, and apparently, I'm pretty good at hitting the ball straight. I just need to work on going further than 50 yards! Today, I hope the weather holds up, as we were supposed to go play put put with Amber.
We have talked about starting a monthly brunch at the house, inviting friends over for my attempt at making BreadWinner's food... we shall see how THAT works out!
