3-day weekend: great way to chase the week!

this week was probably one of the most stressful of my recent life. thankfully i had the right people to talk to, at the right times for my own processing purposes. after about 5 or 6 conversations, i was able to arrive at a logical decision-and i was given a compliment today from someone i respect very much. (more of this story in march). 

so this was our three-day weekend, and it started out at northpark mall, la duni- delicious veggie platter, non-work-related conversation, and fun company! we moved over to kona grill to enjoy laughing with sabrina, a friend of nafia's who i got to meet at the tea party (she's great! lots of fun!) then we did a little meandering around, checking out a couple of stores, playing around before the movie-we may have had to purchase later tickets because there were none together. the movie: how to be single-funny, sweet.

classic. i got a short video clip of nafia and this one, but the file was too big to post...or i'm just too impatient!

saturday was an all-day t.v. marathon. i finished dexter, and was a little disappointed with where it left off, but hey, as long as they bring him back, we'll see if they are forgiven or not!

also saturday night, i decided it was time to do my hair again! so keratin brazilian blowout treatment again! it went well, and my hair is smooth and silky!

used my favorite hair person..oh, that would be ME!

sunday-funday! wish it had been sunnier and brighter, but it was still good. there was this breakfast joint that looked interesting in fort worth, last time we got lost there. it ended up being very cowboy-ish. good bacon! it was a people-watching morning. then a quick car-tour up and around the tcu area, and then off to see the stockyards. i can't believe i've been in this area over 11 years, and have never been over there! for sure a must-visit when family and friends come into town. #mustwearboots

drove through historic grapevine as well. i just LOVE that place! sometime in the spring, i think i will need to get over there to enjoy the quaintness of it all!

this morning i got to go for a walk-i've been avoiding it this past week because i've had a cough, but today was too beautiful not to! eight miles-it was good! my runtastic app cut out on me again, though. boo. then this afternoon, i had a meeting with a friend, for whom i have great respect, at the coolest little coffee shop down on greenville! (wish i'd gotten a pic!!) another reaffirming conversation-there's something about someone saying they're proud of the way you handle things, that just makes everything seem a little better.

it was a good weekend.
