It's just after 7:00 in the morning and I am up already. Crazy! My head hurts a little, so I may try to lay back down in a bit.
Today is Mr. B's 39th birthday! We have an exciting day ahead of us. We were told that there is some kind of cattle drive through downtown this morning because of the rodeo starting. Sounds kind of smelly to me. I don't think we will be attending.
We are only a few blocks from the Alamo and might mozey on over there sometime today and take a few pictures. We ate "lupper" at PF Changs yesterday. That place *never* disappoints. It was so good! Then we walked around the shops at The Quarry. I found a Bath Junkie and Mr. B bought me some sparkly lotion.
Last night, we walked down the River Walk. I love it here. It's so pretty. The hotel, the Walk, it's just a cool place to be. The weather is gorgeous.
On our way back from down on the Walk, we stopped at Rita's on the River. We sat outside and had what they make best there. It was a *huge* margarita. Muy bueno!!! Neither one of us were real hungry yet, so we just had some chips and salsa. And some good conversation. It was just nice to chillax and enjoy each other's company. I really, really love him.
I hope you all are having a great weekend. Susan - - thanks again. You are the best!!!!!!
*smooches*

Lots to do!
We did family night tonight. Dinner and then a movie. Cameron's allergies are acting up and he had some Benadryl at 6:30. He saw - maybe - the first ten minutes of the movie. Then he crashed. Luckily he'd had his bath and was in his jammies already. It was fun. Justin is in bed and hopefully, close to sleep. No noise, so that's good.
I need to go bust a move on some laundry and pack. Mr. B packs his own stuff. I'll have entertainment though - - the Spurs play the Suns in about fifteen minutes. Oh yeah.
We are leaving in the morning after we take the kids to school. Mr. B mentioned something about a late lunch at P.F. Changs. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. We had decided to eat at different places this time. But - - without kids, it's hard to resist the Chang. *said in my best Homer Simpson voice* Lettuce wraps. Ummmmm...
I've got to cut my cardstock and grab a black sharpie. I really hope to get an autograph at the game. Hey, a girl can dream, right?
Okay, I have lots to do.
*excited giggle*
San Antonio, here we come!!

Have a great birthday Mr. Y!!
Have a great birthday Mr. Y!!
Please pray for Lawrence.
I've known Lawrence K. forever. I remember when he and Helen got married. I've snow skied with him before. I just adore him.
He found out today that his cancer is in his lungs and in lymph nodes as well.
Please be in prayer for him and his family. God has a plan. It's never easy to understand.
What I do know is this - - our God is mighty. Whatever His plan is - - Lawrence will want Him to be glorified. Please pray for peace and comfort for him and his family.

Two more sleeps...
Only two more sleeps until Mr. B and I leave for our weekend get-a-way. That's right. I talked him into Friday night, too. Now I am uber-pumped.
Susan rocks. Totally rocks. She agreed to keep the boys an extra night.
Yes, yes, YES!
I totally spilled the beans to David about the "surprise."
Here it is - - I contacted the AT&T Center and told them I wanted to do something special for my husband at the game. Long story short, we are getting two wristbands that will allow us to go down to the railing where they come out. We won't get to stay there the whole game, but we will be able to watch them warm up (from *right* there) and possibly get a autograph or two. How freakin' cool is that? To some of you non-sporties, that might seem really lame. But to these two Spurs fans - - it is phawesome (aka phenomenally awesome, Yoda coined that phrase one night scrapping while on muscle relaxers - - another story for another day.) Anyway, I couldn't keep it a secret. I wanted him to look forward to it like I was.
He was really excited. I think he was shocked. That's right - - I rock. And so does the lady from customer relations at the AT&T Center.
We are leaving Friday morning.
I. Can't. Wait.
Go Spurs, Go!!

No school tomorrow.
*sigh*
If the school district starts at 10:00 or later, our preschool is closed for the day. Dang it. I had a hair appointment and everything. I got right on the phone and as luck would have it, I was able to re-schedule for Friday afternoon. That was nothing short of a miracle. Whew. We leave Saturday morning. I *cannot* have my hair touching my ears at the Spurs game.
Mr. B made our hotel reservations today. I've never stayed at this place, but it looks pretty awesome. It's the Hotel Valencia on the Riverwalk. I'm always bugging him about wanting to stay down there. It's closer to the AT&T Center and - - it's on the Riverwalk. Hello... I looked at their website and it looks like a pretty fabulous place. I'm trying to talk him into taking me Friday and squeeze an extra day out of a lovely hotel. I love staying at hotels with Mr. B. *wink, wink*
I have a trick or two up my sleeve that he knows nothing about. I can't divulge anything right now. I never know when he's going to read my blog. (He rarely does, but still.) It's going to be awesome, nonetheless. I have a feeling I will get the "Wife of the Year" award for this one. Keep your fingers crossed for me. And don't guess or anything here. I don't want him to see it. So - - shhhhhh on the whole surprise thing. I don't want to spring it on him, or even hint that I have a surprise, until it happens. If you know me well at all, you know that I have a terrible time keeping surprises. I want to tell him so bad. But no. I shall reveal it to him in due time. And it's gonna rock.
I'm cooking chili tonight. It's been on the stove for most of the day. It is a total chili day. So cold! Shorts last week and freezing rain today. Go figure.

Oh, it's a compact alright.
My van had to go in the shop today. Did I ever tell you guys that I hit the fence with it the first week I had it? I did. It made a lovely mark on the front bumper. Well, the gracious folks at the Honda place had it fixed for me when they touched up a couple of other tiny spots that were there when we bought it.
Since the "repair" the clear coat has started coming off. Not good. I had them look at it during an oil change in December and they felt like they could get the repair work done under warranty. Cool. I lucked out there.
I finally made the appointment to get it fixed and they agreed to get me a rental. Enterprise was so nice - - they really did come pick me up. (It was across the street. Still nice though, it was drizzling at the time.)
I tried really hard to get the upgrade. It doesn't hurt to ask, right? They only had one other car (uh-huh, sure) and it didn't have a "number" yet. So, no dice. The compact it was.
David laughed his butt off when he saw it. It looks like it could run on a 9 volt battery. He said it looks like Mr. Bean's car.
Anyway, the rental reminded me of this Seinfeld clip. Enjoy!

B's movie review...
Blindness.
I wanted to gouge my eyes out with toothpicks.
It was - - hands down - - the WORST movie I've ever seen. Ever.
Mr. B and I have a running list of worst movies. Dante's Peak used to be number one. Not anymore. This movie was WAY worse than DP.
Here's the new list. In order.
1. Blindness
2. Dante's Peak
3. Open Water
4. Flight Plan
If you really hate someone, suggest any of the above movies.
In Blindness, there is violence, nudity (not pretty nudity either) and rape. By the time the assaults happened, we were so invested in it that we were curious about the ending.
Let's put it this way, I wouldn't have minded watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button again instead.
Oy vey.

Basking in the love.
Okay - - I am loving this. Another award. Thanks, Johnna!! To claim this award, I have to list five addictions I have. Here goes...
1. All things Mamma Mia! I am watching it again right now. Again. I listen to it in my car, on my mp3 player, it's endless. I have yet to tire of it.
2. The Twilight series. I just finished Breaking Dawn this morning. The reason I know that it is a total addiction is because I crave more. And it's over. For now anyway. I'm ready to see the movie.
3. Scrapbooking. I know, some of you might find this kind of pitiful. I absolutely love it. I love the emotions it evokes in both myself and those others that I scrapbook for. You know, gifts and such.
4. Diet Coke w/Splenda. Really, does this shock anyone? *insert major eyeroll here*
5. Facebook. I am on there every day, several times a day. I love the re-connecting, staying in touch, knowing other's birthdays. All things Facebook. It rocks.
I'm sending this award to:
Stephanie
Shawna
Ashley
