~Oh I'm Back~

Hi all.  Yes, I'm back.  My weekend was wonderful.  Expensive, but wonderful.  I would have been on here sooner to let you all know how it was, but my parents laptop computer took a dive and well, I couldn't do an entry!

First of all, I got my hair cut on Friday!!  Boy, did I need it and I love the cut and color.  I cut about an inch or so off and then had her put more layers in to make it lighter for me.  See, I have enough hair for myself and another person!!  So, I needed some of it to go away... lol.  I also had her put a warm blonde/brown in to darken it up for fall.  I love the color and it is more my normal color too.  Fits me just right, I think!  But, the blonde in me forgot to get a picture of my new hair to share... Oops!

Second, Wine and Roses is beautiful... Very nice and quiet.  Derek and I enjoyed our time alone... Although, we missed the kids terribly :)  The hour long massages were fab!!  Derek said that if we ever were to hit the lottery that we'd hire a massage therapist to be at our house everyday!!  Can you guess that he enjoyed his first professional massage?
  
                   Wine and Roses parking for check in...
  
             The main house and resturant... Lovely in side...
                                      Very old fashion...

Our room was very lovely.  We were suprised with how nice it was.  See, they had rooms starting from $159-$300+.  We just got the Garden Room with King and that was $179.  (Expensive weekend...) But as you can see from the pictures below, it was very nice!!
  
                                     The King size bed...
  
          The bathroom... Yes, that is a TV in the bathroom!
  
   Our balcany... We didn't use it... But it was a beautiful view...

We enjoyed a nice dinner at their resturant too.  Very different from what we are used to, but we enjoyed it just the same.  Our dinner with dessert and tip was $115!!!  Can you say "OMG"... And "thank goodness for Credit Cards"???  Yeah, expensive!!  And the bad thing was that the portions were so small.  Poor Derek had to eat like 6 pieces of bed with his soup and dinner just to feel full.  lol... He was not used to the Itty-Bitty portions!!

But over all, our weekend alone was great.  We liked just being able to do what we wanted and enjoyed the quiet time.  Sleeping "all night" was nice too... And not having to wake up at the butt-crack of down was nice too!

     **Thanks Mom and Dad for giving us that time away**

So, that is about it.  Saturday we left around 930am and headed home.  We had to make a pit-stop at the Yamaha shop and pick up parts for Derek's bike.  Remember, he crashed it :)  Once we got back in town, I dropped Derek off at the PD and he went off to Sniper Training.  They have a Sniper position open on the SWAT team and he would like it... Don't know if he'll get it, but he is trying.

After he got home, we didn't do much.  We went over to Derek's parents house and hung out there for a bit and then went grocery shopping.  Goodness, do we do that a lot :D  Lol... Then it was a nice quiet night athome, watching Cops and eating hotdogs and Mac & Cheese!!!

Of course, Sunday was spent watching, Can you guess?, FOOTBALL!!!  Ugh!  All day long it was on... Boring!!  But I did pig out on all the horrible food that comes along with Football.  Hot wings, Artichoke dip, Mini-Pigs in a blanket... And Cupcakes!!  Rowan and I made cupcakes yesterday morning and we only have about 10 left!  ahaha...

Those went quickly with everyone that we had over :D

And that was my weekend.  Nothing exciting besides the Wine and Roses trip.  And with all the crap that I ate this weekend, I am back on my diet...

But that will go out the window on Friday when I go to PISMO!!!  Muahahahaha...

I'm going to do another entry... Photo entry really.

Oh and I wanted to thank Nae for the great graphics on my side-bar!!  They are wonderful :)

Be back in a bit...
