Good Ole....Rocky Bottom!

We such a fun weekend! Tony & Britney came in to town for the game.
Friday night was dinner at Cafe 123 (so good it was ridiculous!) then off to the Rail.
Saturday was tailgating and football all day....and I mean ALL day. Philip and Tony went down to the bar when we got home and Philip helped some kid that tried to jump on the train (smart!).
Sunday was Niffer's for lunch- we got it for free b/c they forgot to put our order in!- and then lounging and resting all day.
Sunday night there was another installment of Sunday Funday at Hiro & Lynday's. The most awesome chicken and more great episodes of True Blood.

Tap Report- Part Deux...

Will be postponed. I forgot that we have a wine tasting dinner tonight so I won't be able to make a fool out of myself until next Tuesday.

L-S-Who????

Oh yeah, the team that beat us in the final minute of the game the past 2 years! What a bummer!

Otherwise, we had a great weekend. Mom & dad were in town for the game. Friday night we hung out on the porch, ate pizza and went to the bar for a little while. Saturday we woke up bright & early ready for a great day on The Plains. We couldn't have asked for a better day- not a cloud in the sky & perfect temperatures. It really felt like football season! We even ventured away from our tailgate spot and got to see some friends. Sunday was about as good as it gets on a fall day. Went to the coffee shop with mom & dad and Andrea & Casey- they had stopped by on their way home to see the new place. Philip had to go to the hospital for a little bit so I sat on the porch, listened to music and read a book with Charlie's head on my leg. Then we went for a run around the neighborhood to explore some new routes. We ran about half the time & walked the other half just b/c it was such a nice day, neither of us were in a hurry to get back home. Beth & Tyler stopped by to see the place in their way home. Last night we headed to Hiro & Lyndsays for pizza (I think we are keeping Papa John's in business), wine & some delicious Halloween treats that Lyndsay had made. We watched this new show in HBO called True Blood. It's about vampires, don't ask....anyways, it was interesting show. Terrible acting but we watched 2 episodes so I guess it had our attention!

We're looking forward to a low key week. Philip isn't on call at all- wahoo! Hopefully we'll be able to rest up for another fun football weekend down here in God's Country. We can't wait for Tony & Britney to get here on Friday!

Is it bad that Monday isn't even over and I'm already wanting it to be Friday??

Ratta-Tap-Tap....Report

So here's the report...
1) there was no a/c in the building (yikes!)
2) 3 people in the class
3) i was a little rusty and my shoes definitely need to be replaced (i think i've had them since '96 or '97)

The class was a lot of fun, just went a little slower than I'm used to. I'm going to the level 4 class on tuesday. I feel 100% certain I am going to look like a fool! But I think I'm up for the challenge. Full report on Wednesday.

Ratta-Tap-Tap

I have my first tap class tonight! Most of you know that I took "adult tap" for a few years in Bham but I haven't been able to find a place in Auburn/Opelika that has classes. I finally found one and it's right by my house! I told the owner that while I am no "daning queen", I might poke my eyes out if we learned shuffle ball change for an hour. She said I might be too advanced for the adult class so I might want to come to the Level 4 class with the high school seniors on Tuesday. Ummm...okaayyy... She said there was another girl that was around my age that was in the Level 4 class. Oh goodie, I thought, I won't be the only loser! We'll see how that class goes. I'll probably end up making a total arse out of myself! I'll give a report tomorrow on how the adult class goes. Hopefully my eyeballs will still be in tact:)

Calm Before the Storm

We had a nice relaxing weekend at home! It was very nice being able to do a whole lot of nothing since next weekend is going to be crazy with the LSU Bengal Tigers coming to town!! And let me tell you, they are all coming. Every hotel in the Auburn/Opelika area is booked! So we took advantage the weekend and tried to relax as much as we could. Friday night we hung out with some friends on our porch, drank wine and ate pizza! We made it down to the Rail for a little while. The crowd was great and so was the band!

Saturday I went in to Auburn with Lindsey and we shopped around for a little while. We had a great time! I got home just in time for the second half of the Georgia game but then fell asleep on the couch! We started watching the Auburn game but it was so boring that we decided to go down to the bar for a little while.

Sunday, dad had to drop mom off to meet up with her friends for their Fripp Island trip. So after he did that he met us down at the coffee shop for some breakfast. Then we hit up our Sunday usuals- Target, Kroger, Petco. So exciting.

Sunday afternoon we had 2 birthday parties!!! Vivian's 1st Birthday and Laurel's 30th. They were both a blast. Vivian was soo cute in her birthday bubble outfit but she didn't really love the cake:( Laurel's party was at Mikata (Mikata means fun!) and we had a great time with all the neighborhood peeps!

This weeks is a little crazy. Philip is on call almost every night and the Chamber has our annual golf tournament tomorrow so I think we will both be ready for the weekend!

Oh, and here's my new bike that I ordered from Golden Bikes on Saturday. I can't wait for it to come in but b/c it's a new model it won't be here until the begining of November...bummer! I'm going to try to find a basket for it so Charlie can ride with me! ha ha! And definitely a bell and some streamers too!

Hunts-vegas!

Philip and I loaded up the truck (literally) and headed to Huntsville this past weekend. We had planned on stopping at Chick-Fil-A for dinner but the closer we got to Birmingham, the stronger my Rojo craving grew. So we ended up stopping there for dinner, eating our usual favorites and tried to out run the rain that was headed our way! We finally made it to Huntsville kinda late but at least the furniture didn't get too wet!

Saturday morning we went to Scottsboro to watch Bob kick some butt in his triathlon. The rest of the day was spent lying on the couch & watching football! Saturday was Bob's birthday so we went out to dinner and had a really nice time. It had been a while (like February) since we had been to Huntsville and we were really glad we got to go!

We had to head back to Auburn early on Sunday so Philip could check on their patients at the hospital. Sunday afternoon, we went down to the coffee shop and tasted a few of the soups they started serving this week- they were great!- and went to Luke Donaldson's first birthday party. It was a lot of fun and he was so cute! He put his whole face in the cake and got red icing everywhere!

This week has been nice & slow. Last night, they Donaldsons & Meyers came over for spaghetti and we all got to visit while the babies chased Charlie around the house- he loved it!

This weekend Auburn is playing in Starkville so we're looking forward to a relaxing weekend on the couch!

Happy Friday & War Eagle!

Charlie just wanted to tell everyone Happy Friday and War Eagle!

Football & Fun

Who doesn't love a holiday weekend! Especially when it's the first weekend of college football!! We started the weekend off on Friday eating mexican with Hiro, Lindsey & Dennis and watching a lady take a flaming shot then barf all over the floor. It was quite entertainig!

Saturday my parents came up and we headed over to our tailgate spot. It was pretty hot but we managed to survive thanks to some ice cold beverages:) The Auburn game was fairly uneventful but they won so everyone was satisfied. We left about half time, ordered pizza and Philip was asleep in his recliner by 9:30. A successful day, by his standards.

Sunday we ran errands and hosted the Southside Sunday Funday! It was a blast. We've really enjoyed getting to know all the couples in our new neighborhood. Everyone is so nice and has welcomed Philip and myself into the neighborhood group with open arms! Even Charlie had some of his new friends, Victor & Boo Radley, over and they played & played all night.

Monday was spent at the coffee shop and watching the entire season 4 of Enterouge on dvd. Yeppers, that would mean roughly 5 hours on the couch- it was awesome!

I'll try to post some pics tonight. I forgot to take my camera to our tailgate on Saturday but took some pictures on Sunday so hopefully there are some worth posting.

WDE!
