I feel pretty

This past weekend was so wonderful! I don't have many weekends where I just feel pretty....this was one of the few weekends that I did not just lounging around in sweatpants and a t-shirt.

Friday night after I got off of work Mike and I decided to go out. He put on a nice shirt and a blazer, I put on a pretty blue turtleneck, a white "fluffy" sweater and my favorite pair of boots that just make me feel a little prettier and we headed out to P.F. Changs. The wait was over an hour so we put our names down and decided to walk around the mall a little bit...which was really nice for me because Mike hates to go to the mall and refuses to just go to look around. We went in Williams Sonoma (one of my favorite stores) and sampled some apple cider, pumpkin bread and some absolutely delicious pumpkin brittle. Mike had never been in Williams Sonoma and was a little taken back by the pricey-ness but was still nice.

After walking around for a while we went back to discover that we still had an hour wait, unless we wanted to sit on the Verandah. When they first suggested it I laughed! It was freezing outside. They couldn't be serious! Well...turns out they had the Verandah "draped" off and heaters that had been warming it up for quite a while so they assured us it was nice and warm. We decided we didn't want to wait so we headed outside. It was actually really nice....it was warm and wasn't as much noise out there. After a delicious dinner we got up and I realized that although the rest of my body had stayed warm, my legs and backside had sort of gone numb! Dang the non-padded seats!

Saturday morning I tried to do some more Christmas shopping....again, I was unsuccessful. Oh well, I guess I'll get there. Saturday afternoon I went to the ladies Christmas tea at church. It was sooooo nice! I dressed up in my black and white Ann Taylor dress and gave a little extra effort when putting on my makeup and then headed to church to just relax and be waited on! The tea was delicious (we had Pumpkin Spice, Mango and then a chocolate raspberry tea), the food was yummy (scones, little sandwiches and sweets) and the servers were just wonderful. The men at our church are just amazing men...and it was so sweet of them to serve us. The fellowship that us ladies had was wondeful as well and I look forward to it again next year. After being waited on and pampered a little I went home, sat down and then Mike walks in and asks...."hey hon, would you mind heating up my leftovers from yesterday?" and just like that the pampering came to an end:)
