Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Weekend!

I don't want it to end - other than the fact that it's supposed to be almost 80 degrees tomorrow! Sweeeeeet!

Here are the highlights -

*Friday night - made Rachel's out-of-this-world salsa. Seriously, addicting.

*My little sis, Caroline, made the Cheerleading squad at East High!

*Saturday - Went to Western Gardens and picked up some seeds for my little veggie and herb garden. I decided to try out a much-raved-about new breed of tomato, the Super Sweet 100's. Can't wait to get planting!!


*Met Gerritt at Tony Caputo's for my favorite sandwich, and then we split up and I mozied on down to Sur La Table at Gateway, and got a few fun things for myself with an old gift card. Can't wait to try out my new Sushi Made Easy book! :)


*Came home and, since it was still warm and light, vacuumed and cleaned out both cars and washed them in the driveway. Ahhhhhh - CLEAN! Nothing says 'summer' like hosing down your car in the yard. I can't tell you how much this still pleases me.

*Sunday - Went to my Mom's for a delicious family dinner and the fun company of this darling Guatemalan family, the wife whom takes care of my Grandma a few weeks a month. Max thinks he speaks Spanish since her 2 year old taught him "Gato! Gato!" is calling the family cats and usually torturing them....



All in all, a good one. Hope everyone else enjoyed theirs as well!
