Is it Monday already?

Grr, I can't believe it's Monday already again. It seemed like the weekend just flew by. And of course the week drags on and on and on. Oh well, here we go again at the start of another long week. Let me give you a recap of my weekend with some interesting tidbits along the way!

FRIDAY NIGHT:
We went to see the Incredibles and it was AWESOME! I pretty much love all the Pixar films so I wasn't really worried about not liking this one. But it was really a very good story, great graphics, and just an all around great flick! I definitely recommend seeing it. ;)

SATURDAY:
This was a long day! Saturday morning we got up and went to downtown Fort Worth for the Diabetes Walk. We raised $1200 as a team so I was so proud! I love the fact that we raised all that money because I know it is going to such a good cause and hopefully will benefit my husband one day soon. After it was over, we hauled back to the apartment to drop off the dog (we stayed at Austin's parents house on Friday night to make the morning drive a bit easier), changed, and were on our way again to head over to Dallas for SMU Homecoming.

Here's what I have to say about SMU Homecoming: I am SO GLAD that I have graduated and moved on from that place!!!! As I was walking up the Boulevard trying to find the people we were going to meet up with, I was seriously thinking to myself "how the heck did I survive 4+ years here!" Austin & Joey came with me, and about five minutes into the "tailgating" they turned to each other and then to me and said "are you sure YOU went here?" I mean, I've always thought that I was different than the typical SMU person, and the more I am away from that place, the more I realize that I am different. But in a good way in my opinion! Anyways, we spent about 20 minutes wandering around, and I saw a few people that I hadn't seen in over two years so that was good. And I didn't run into anyone that I didn't want to see which was really good. ;) I was disappointed that there weren't very many people I knew there but I guess that's just how it goes as the years go by. I know I haven't been to Homecoming since I graduated and probably won't go for awhile more unless something specific happens. We went to the football game for the first half and surprisingly they played pretty well. Got home and thought about going to the Brahma's game in Fort Worth, but we were exhausted from walking that morning and being outside all day so we took a short nap, went to Mercardo Juarez (YUMMY!), and came back to watch tv and head to bed early!

SUNDAY:
Yesterday was good and bad. Got up in the morning and went to SuperTarget to get groceries and some dance clothes for our performance coming up next week. Picked up the first season of the O.C. for Austin which I watched last week's episode and actually thought was pretty interesting. Yet another show for me to get addicted to! Then we went to Varekai, the touring Cirque du Soleil that's in Dallas now through December. WARNING: DO NOT GO!!!! We went to see Allegria like a year and a half ago and loved it, but we were super disappointed in this one! It was really nothing spectacular, the staff was super rude, and to top it off we were bitter that we spent all that money on that instead of going to see Morgan Fairchild in The Graduate which we probably would have enjoyed a hundred times more. Oh well, you learn! Then we came home and went to work on my garage which was good because we got through a TON of stuff. Since we're moving two weeks from Friday, it's time to get in high gear in the sorting, packing, and throwing out mode so nothing gets moved unnecessarily. Which reminds me, let me know if anyone knows of good movers!!! :)

Then last night was watching some Desperate Housewives. I really LOVE that show! It is super entertaining and good because usually Sunday nights were pretty boring. So that's my weekend wrap-up - two reviews and just a general commentary on the bubble that is SMU! Now if I can survive this week, I might make it to next weekend to have some more fun!
