Hoodlum Cousins

So I gave in and decided to take a week off from work. Chris was given the opportunity to work from HKB's Amarillo office for a week. I am a big fat weenie and am scared to stay in Dallas by my lonesome, so I went back too. I was very apprehensive at first, feeling like I was abandoning ship at Butler, however, once we pulled out of DFW I never looked back. It was a great week of relaxation. I spent the week napping, laying by the pool, shopping, and preparing for our annual Hoodlum Lake trip.

The lake was awesome. After 3 full days of skiing, knee boarding, & attempting to wake board I am burnt to a crisp and sore as can be! I am getting too dang old for this. I managed to read 2 books while we were there (LA Candy by Lauren Conrad -- 2 thumbs up--and My Sister's Keeper-- tearrr jerker). This year it was crazy packed at the lake house. I counted heads and at one point there was over 20 people there, and we all spent the night. Ahhh! The more the merrier I guess.

Ollie loves loves loves the lake. You can hardly keep her out of the water while we are there. ESPECIALLY if Chris & I were in the water. If she heard our voices from afar she was determined to swim to the middle of the lake to save us. It turned out that we had to save her. Silly dog.

Chris only got to stay Thursday and Friday nights. He had his "man trip" with his dad and brother here in Dallas.They went to the horse races, Chelsea soccer game, & golfing. I have barely talked to him since I've been home, but I'm sure he had a blast.

Funny story... kinda. My car went in the shop on Wednesday morning to get the AC fixed (it finally is-- Wahoo!) so I had to take Chris into AMA in my mom's car. I accidentally left my phone at my parents' house. Wouldn't you know that the BMW's "never fail" tires failed AGAIN. No phone, no spare tire, and no clue what to do. Soo I panicked and started to walk down VFW in my pajamas. I made it a couple miles before a sweet little grandma picked me up and offered to drive me home. Just. my. luck.
