Four Posts in One – February so Far

By Laurie | February 17, 2011

What have I been up to? Believe it or not, a lot! I just haven’t had time to post, but I’m making up for it tonight by giving you an update of everything we’ve been doing so far in February.

I don’t know if you heard, but we had another ice/snow storm here in the Dallas area. I was snowed in and couldn’t go to work for four days. One of those days we had no power, another of those days I spun out on the way to the grocery store and got a flat tire. Another day I discovered I actually had a nail in my tire (causing the flat), and yet another day that I tried to go to work I spun out again. I officially hate sleet, snow and ice. It sure is pretty though.



Dave and I also had a wonderful Valentine’s weekend. We went to Cirque du Soliel Ovo on Sunday. It was fantastic. I’ve seen several of their shows in Vegas, but this by far was my favorite one. We sat in the second row, and had an amazing view of the characters and performances. I loved being able to see the expressions on their faces. The stunts were pretty incredible too. I love love loved it! I only wish they allowed photos inside.

On Valentine’s Day we both took the day off and hung out together at home, and then went out for a delicious five course fondue dinner. It’s hard to believe you can get full off of little bites like that, but I always walk out of there feeling so uncomfortably full.


We’re also planning a trip to Paris this Spring, and I am so excited. I’ve bought some study guides to refresh my memory, and I’m practicing in my car everyday at lunch. Even Dave is practicing. Oui, oui! I would love recommendations if you have been for places to stay and things we absolutely can’t miss. I am keeping a list and will no doubt be rambling about this until the plane takes off. I hope you are all having a great month so far! À bientôt!


Thanks to Nikki for the fabulous beret she got me for my birthday. As promised, I will be having my photo taken in front of the real Eiffel Tower, oh yes I will!
