Easter Weekend

I hope that y'all had a fabulous Easter weekend!  I'll have a full recap of Houston on Wednesday so I don't want to say too much about that now, plus I'm exhausted so I'll give you the edited version.  I'm really wishing that like my other teacher friends that I was with last night, I also didn't have to go to work today.  On the bright side it is just staff development... Linking up with Biana!

Friday

Friday morning I set my alarm for 6:45, took a shower, packed up my stuff that I had been too tired/lazy to do the night before, & headed off to Houston.  There was a little hiccup in Dallas, have I ever mentioned how much I HATE driving in Dallas?  Because I do.  Being in Dallas, great.  Driving in Dallas, no.  Other than that though, it was smooth sailing.  I actually didn't stop the entire 4 hours.  I just wanted to get there & had no need to stop.  I met up with my friend Zach first & we had lunch and hung out for a couple of hours before I was off to my hotel to check in.  Then, I headed over to my friend Meg's house where we hung out until her husband got home to watch their baby.  We got ready & then headed out for the night.

Saturday

Saturday morning was slow going.  I wasn't hungover or anything because I hadn't drank a ton but I wasn't quite sure what I wanted for breakfast (which wound up being nothing & would cost me getting to eat crawfish later) & where I wanted to go didn't open until 9 anyway.  The not eating breakfast part was a poor choice but the not leaving until 9:30 was a good one.  The farmer's market in Tomball, where I used to live & am still obsessed with, opened at 9 but all the antique stores didn't open until 10 so I just hung out for a few minutes.  I thought about going to get breakfast tacos or something but I had such a prime spot & it was getting busy so I just stayed put.  

I looked through the stores, wanted to buy all the things, did not buy all the things, & then realized I was starving.  It was an awkward time & I still really wanted to go to "my" park plus eat crawfish.  I knew though that if I didn't eat I'd hate my life at the park & start to get really light-headed.  So I ate.  I ate more than I intended & then was off to my park.  I was going to hang out at the park until I thought I was hungry enough to eat at least some crawfish.  However, by like 1:30-2 I decided to call it quits & not wait around anymore because I still had a 4 hour drive home & knew I'd be stopping at Buc-ees too.  

I got home around 6:30, reluctantly went to the store just to get enough to make ranch pork chops for the week, put those in the crockpot, & pretty much did not move.  I moved some of the stuff I had had to remove from my cupboards Thursday back into the cupboards but not all of it.  I then pretty much passed out.

Sunday

Sunday was still fairly slow going.  Driving is exhausting y'all.  I still love it though.  I moved some more stuff back into the cupboards, attempted a nap, finally checked my mail, went to the store for the rest of my groceries, ate some chips and dip, read the few blogs I hadn't on Friday, & then headed off to Helen & Caleb's for fancy dinner.  This was the only picture I managed to take.  As always though there were 4 courses.  We ate, talked, & played some games.  I stayed later than intended considering I live 40 min away & still had to get up for work at 5 am today.  By about 10:30 I was home but not tired.  It was closer to 11:30-midnight before I finally fell asleep.
