Oh, how thankful I was for the extended weekend! I really don't know what one does to celebrate MLK day, but my friend and I made it a day of snackin', shoppin', and sippin' in Dallas. After Friday night's antics, I spent Saturday feeling what I imagine a narcoleptic feels. I tell you, I couldn't stay awake for a thing, which by the way was really bad of me because I had a baby shower to attend :/Chips, warms salsa & booze @ Margarita Ranch, yum! Although my stomach was on the fritz I still partook in the good time with my friend. I also spotted a hot, handsomely lunching alone. Double yum!
(My pictures are out of order)We stared out in Oak Cliff @ El Ranchito. The restaurant's ambiance is awesome, as are their chips & salsa, but these nachos blew. I ate about 2 of these cheese covered chips and the rest ended up in the trash. Strangely enough, I'd go back just to give the place a chance for redemption since it looks so cool.
This little puppy is Spike, however I call him Justin. He belongs to my brother's fiancee. She won't let me have him. I try. Anyway, they recently bought a house and the mothers went over to help paint. I went over to eat grilled cheeseburgers, be nosey and attempt some lesson planning.
Instead of being useful, I played on the tire swing and attempted to get on the roof, but was too frightened remembering my fear of heights. Instead, I asked M2 to take my picture while I tried to look like I was diligently doing home repair. Stupid idea.
So, there you have it between the last post and this on you've seen my entire weekend... almost ;)
I think eating good food and hanging out with friends sounds like a good way to spend MLK day to me. And home renovations are an important part of any long weekend.
We have a public holiday next Tuesday, which means it's not a long weekend and means I don't have to be climbing on the roof.
I'm not sure what you planned on fixing up there with no tools though. You should have worn a tool belt for the shot.
Cute pics!!! And for the record, MLK day is supposed to be a day of service to the community. Maybe your uh...attempt to uh fix the roof might count for something.
I thought at first you were referring to our dear bloggy buddy MKL. heheheh Then I had to read it twice. So anyway, what is an MLK day? I wish we had one of these here, heck, I'm just looking for another holiday so I can sleep in and hang out with people I love. Have a great weekend sweetie. And and the chips with salsa and lots and lotsa cheese is totally making me drool right now. hehehe
I grew up in a slowly, painfully dying small mid-western village that was propserous way before my time. By my early early teens, I was forced south to the great, hot state of Texas and the rest is history. Now, I'm dying to get out of this overgrown, small town minded, big city suburb they call "FUN CENTRAL" because it lacks fun and public transportation.

I thought you wrote:
MKL, you made my day!!! I was so happy, but then... nope, wasn't me :(
Lovely pics, you look cute, but I don't buy that you're repairing the roof! :P What's that in your hand?
boo to bad nachos, but those drinks look good ;)
@Scoman: What's you holiday? Thank God you don't have to climb the roof!
Uh, did you not see that screw driver in my hand? I don't know what you do with a screw driver on the roof, I merely grabbed the nearest tool :P
@MKL: Don't worry, you DO make my day, too. LOL
You spotted the screw driver!
@Michelle: The drinks were tastey! And, I usually hate margaritas!!
I was about to poke fun at you for taking a screwdriver to "fix" something up on the roof, but I saw you already addressed that issue. :)
@Omega: Gosh, do you have any faith in me? lol
