the snow is coming...

well, i made it back from Ky -and a few pounds heavier I might add. to be honest i should have just stayed home in KC and been lazy with my sweethubby -but oh no i had to cram a super short holiday visit into a long weekend. i really did enjoy myself and i guess it was worth it... since i did get to see my granny that i miss dearly and of course the rest of my family and a couple of friends as well.

we had a great night out with my sweethubby before we left on our trip. we went and ate at our favorite restaurant j0se peppers and then headed downtown to see Wicked and wicked good it was. i have to be honest and say that it wasn't as good as the show i seen in Chicago, but it was still great. the lady that played Galinda in this show just really over did her character to the point that it came off more annoying than funny and all i could think of was the SNL character that m0lly shann0n played -the cath0lic scoolgirl one...yeah she was like a cross of that character and an over perky cheerleader...it wasn't that great. the lady who played Elpheba did a GREAT job -really good! it is a great show and if you ever get the chance to see it -i highly recommend it.

sooo... we ended up having a late night wednesday since the show didn't end until after 11 therefore i ended up sleeping in on thanksgiving day and didn't leave KC until after 8am. atleast there wasn't much traffic -that was good. we made it to my grannies at about 8pm and ate some yummy leftovers...don't feel bad for me -my aunt cooked me a turkey dinner the next night and it was hot and delish!

my friends birthday was on thanksgiving day so saturday i stopped by and saw her after a day of shopping. and i picked her up a UK snuggie and she loved it (i hope my hubby doesn't read this b/c he would kill me if he knew i spent 1 cent on a piece of UK merchandise...so shhhh! it's our little secret) :)

we said our goodbyes over a DQ breakfast of yummy biscuits & gravy (another thing i miss about Ky since KC DQ's don't serve breakfast -it's a tragedy) and then hit the road. traffic on the way back was not so nice it took me about 2 hours longer than normal and i was dog tired when i got home. getting up to go to work the next day was not fun -not fun at all.

i didn't get out for any crazy black friday shopping but i have gotten some great deals the past couple weeks from my favorite stores Marshall$ and TJ M@xx -look what i found...

the jacket is a gift for my babygirl littlebit and the boots are for moi :)

we have a chiefs game to go to on sunday (it's supposed to snow -burrr!) and then we are going to decorate our christmas tree :)

hope y'all stay warm and have a great weekend!

Wow, what a whirlwind trip! I'm glad you made it back safe and sound. That's blasphemy that your husband is that opposed to the best sports team! And you all used to live here! Sounds like your trip was worthwhile.
