My wonderful weekend...
This past weekend we went to my younger sisters house for a "Girls Weekend" for my mom's 60th birthday. She didn't want the party we had for her, so we had the "Girls Weekend" to smooth things over with her. It was AWESOME!!!!
We got there on Friday night and had my mom's two best friends drive out to surprise her. My sister lives 3 hours away, so mom had no idea anyone else was going to be there. When we pulled in, she didn't recognize their car (it was late, the car is new and she didn't expect to see them, so she didn't pay attention to it). They came running out of the house and said "Hello!" When it dawned on her who was there she started crying and ran over to hug them. I was so glad they made it.
The next morning after breakfast we went to a local salon and we all had pedicures in the same room, at the same time. It was wonderful. After that we went to a nearby city for lunch reservations at Brio's and then did some shopping. That evening we had tickets for a Cabaret show. It was so funny!!! I had a couple of drinks that day. One of them went to my head, so I stopped drinking. Didn't want to dance on the tables. Hee Hee.
When we went back to my sisters house it was late, but we still watched "Because I Said So". It was cute and funny that the mom on there was turning 60 and didn't want a party AND she had three daughters. How funny is that? The next morning was Mother's Day and we took our time getting ready to leave and did some more visiting. It was a very nice weekend. Mom had a blast and just kept crying all weekend. What a memorable weekend.
I hope everyone else had a great Mother's Day Weekend.
I also only gained a pound over the weekend with the drinks and all of the carbs I ate. I lost 1/2 a pound today, so hopefully tomorrow will show the other 1/2 gone.
Hugs to all,

That sounds wonderful. I am going to go spend a day with my mother at the end of the month. I didn't make it to see her for Mothe's Day. I chose to spend the day being a Mom also. My youngest sister went and spent the day with her. Mom wil be 79 on the 27th of this month. I would love to take her for a pedicure or something. She doesn't go out much anymore due to her oxygen. I can mange to get her out a little.
Glad you had a great weekend.

Sounds like a wonderful weekend. You made me laugh about the drinking. I had a few sips of drinks and some champagne on my honeymoon. However, it wasn't until I insisted we visit all of Rachael Ray's favorite places in Bermuda that I got in trouble. On her 40$ a day tour of the island she had a drink called a Rum Swizzle, so of course we had to go to the same spot and have one too. I managed about 1/2 before I felt it hit me...hard. Clarke enjoyed the rest and got a good laugh out of me being such a "lightweight"
