Snowy, Busy Shenanigans

I’m so glad so many of you liked the recipes that were posted last week!  I hope everyone had a FABULOUS time on Sunday watching the game.  Our Super Bowl party was a SUCCESS!  YAY!  There were about 20 of us total and we had SO.MUCH.FUN!  TONS of food, laughter, chit-chat, game watching and GOOD TIMES!  I looked around the room at my Hubby and our group of friends and just felt SO incredibly blessed that we were spending our Super Bowl Sunday with them, in our house, having an amazing time together.  It was the BEST feeling!  I didn’t do a ton of picture snapping BECAUSE, I was actually feeling a little-tiny-bit under the weather.  Luckily, I was able to look past it and still enjoy myself throughout the evening.  After everyone was gone and Hubsy and I had finished cleaning up, we went to bed and……..the initial little-tiny-bit-under-the-weather feeling kicked into HIGH gear.  YUCK!  Fever, chills, tummy ache, head ache…NOT FUN.  I didn’t get out of bed at all yesterday except to feed our furry baby and eat the soup and grilled cheese that my personal, handsome care-giver made me.  Exactly 24 hours later and I’m feeling TONS better!  PTL!  Just in time for yet ANOTHER snow storm to hit us 2night, and, lucky for me, allow me to be off work again tomorrow!  Hip hip hooray for that!  I do wish I had at least taken a picture of the food table and the game-watching set up.  Ohhh man, THE FOOD.  YUMMMMMMMY!  We hit the jackpot with all of the delicious food that was made and brought by our friends.  And the house was so nice and CLEAN for our guests!  Hubsy and I spent ALL DAY on Saturday cleaning the WHOLE house, top to bottom, and it was all ready for our guests on Sunday evening.  Isn’t that the best feeling in the world, when you finish cleaning?!  We also did some more decorating in our “happy yellow” room.  I’ll be sure to post some pics soon! 

Today, I am working, playing catch up and getting ready for this second, big snow monsoon of 2010.  We had a little under 2 feet on Friday and we are expecting another good foot of snow tonight and tomorrow.  I just finished talking with my boss about us being off tomorrow.  I mean, HOW AMAZING IS THAT?!  It’s not even snowing yet but we already most likely have off.  I grew up in Texas, and even after living on the East coast for almost eight years now (WOW! Eight years already?!) I don’t think the joy of being snowed in will ever really wear off.  It probably has to do with the fact that I get to enjoy the snow and never have to actually shovel or plow it, HA.  Sooo, snow storm tonight, tomorrow we have BBS, Thursday night my hubby has an indoor soccer game, and then this weekend I’M LEAVING FOR LAS VEGAS!!!  I will be in Vegas until next Thursday, and when I get back my hubby will be gone on a business trip of his own!  Busy-ness all over.  Luckily, we will only miss each other by two days AND he is coming back early Saturday morning and has a secret-something planned for us Saturday night to celebrate our Valentine’s Day together, since we will be apart this weekend.  I am so excited to see what it is!  It makes my heart melt that he has something so special planned as a surprise.  LOVEEEE HIM!  Oh, and next Friday, when I get back from Vegas (sans my hubby for the night), my mom, sister, niece and dad are coming over for the night for our planned ‘Julie and Julia date night’, Aka: an entire evening of french wine, french cooking and Julie and Julia watching.  I promise, cross-my-heart kind of thing, to take LOTS of pictures.  Oh, and TONS of pictures in Vegas!  I am hoping to post again this week before I leave and am away from blogging land for a good week and a half.  WHEW, lots going on!  God knows that I like to be kept on my toes – He is good!

Okay, I think that’s enough words for a post without any pictures!  I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL Tuesday!  If you’re getting hit with the white madness tonight, stay warm and safe!
