Where is the #1 Stunner?

....in Africa! This little chick spent the past 15+ hours flying to Africa to work with the Vanderbilt medical team as a nurse/OBGYN and help open a hospital in Botswana. My Stunner, a.k.a. Abigail, will be living and working in Botswana for the next year. I attended her going away party a few weekends ago in Atlanta and her hubby, Greg, finally sent me some of our pictures via his iphone. Let's just say, it was a crazy evening but I'm really glad I went. You too can follow her journey entitled Botswana Bound on the right hand side of my page. Stunner, we love and miss you and you will always be our "Miranda" and "Sabrina" the teenage witch! :o) (Ok, that was to make you get angry and scream hehe)

Cajun Steamer = yum!

Every other weekend Steven and I take turns selecting where to eat out. Yeah, two little oinkers, I know! Anyways, so this past weekend he picked the Cajun Steamer. If you haven't tried it, we highly suggest it. It's always packed and the food is so yummy. We invited my parents because they love seafood and Cajun cooking too. We heart that restaurant! (even though gator tail won over fried pickles as an appetizer)

Beating LOMA at her Menu Making!

Ok, so this weekend I went to Trader Joe's (fabulous place) and I planned all our meals for the next 2 weeks. This is my tentative menu, although we always eat out on the weekends. Oh, and most everything is gluten free too! woo-hoo
`Salmon stuffed with dill and shrimp
`chicken enchiladas with sauce, chips and salsa verde
`mandarin orange chicken, vegan fried veggie rice
`baked eggplant Parmesan, spaghetti sauce/Penne noodles and garlic bread (for Steven)
`breakfast for dinner! homemade waffles or pancakes, eggs and turkey bacon
`swordfish with baked potato and steamed veggies
`chicken verde burritos and blue chips & salsa
`flounder with crab meat stuffing and vegetables
`turkey burgers, skillet potatoes and onions or garlic fries
`chicken tenders and raspberry balsamic and candied pecan salads

I wrote all this to keep me accountable! This weekend we ate dinner at the Cajun Steamer-you know we love our seafood! Pictures and details coming--later!

13 minute phone call


.....and we're off to Las Vegas, randomly! Yep, I am by no means spontaneous when it comes to trips but tonight while making shrimp stir fry the inevitable house phone rings and I think it's my mom. Turns out, it was my Hilton Honors calling because I am a valued customer *wink wink, aren't we all? Anyways, what he should of said is the economy sucks and Vegas is hurting but what he said is they are running a special and you can go to Vegas for cheap-o. I told him his price wasn't low enough and my hubby (who was sitting on the computer) wasn't home so a decision couldn't be made. He swore he'd make it worth my while so the long and the short of it is the manager got on the phone, I got a super duper deal, 3 days 2 nights to stay on the strip at the Hilton Vacation Resort in a suite and I have 5 months to go. Can we say weekend get-a-way? Woo-hoo. Wanna know the highlight for Steven? He thinks we are going to see Cris Angel Mindfreak show live....um we are going shopping, NY NY, Paris and the Venetian of course! Got any more suggestions? The last time I went it was for a family vacation and I was a teeny bopper so this should be fun!
