Paul has been gone so much I have really looked forward to girl time! And that's exactly what this past weekend was all about! A few of us were invited to my friends Debbie's lake house on lake Kiawah just north of Frisco. Only about an hour away makes a quick weekend get-a-away very do-able!
So, Friday night Tina picked me up, we loaded the SUV with wine and snacks and headed north. After a little traffic and a stop for gas we made it to the lake. ahh, how peaceful! This is exactly what we all were craving! It had been a busy week for all and with Thanksgiving around the corner we all needed a little down time before jumping into family gatherings and hosting events. We settled into our first glass of wine and gossip -- then did homemade pizzas! I can't tell you how long it's been since I've done pizza at home?! What a treat...OK, I splurged a little bit but it's girls weekend! (and I did 10miles the next day...) And then we ran into a problem. Yes, the corkscrew was no longer. What were we going to do?!
Well, take a screw, a screwdriver and pliers and you have a homemade wine opener -- right? Well, not really...it didn't work so well! But, we did give ourselves a pat on the back for our creativity. We ended up having bad Smirnoff's leftover from the summer. Which aren't really bad -- except when you go from wine to Smirnoff....
The rest of the night we watched chick flicks that we could never watch with our hubby's and indulged in more yummy treats. (As if the pizza wasn't enough!) It was just like an old fashioned sleep-over. Just what the doctor ordered for those over-stressed, over-worked, sleep-deprived gals in Dallas! Cheers!
