Weekend Happenings

Good Friday morning!

The Gallery Pics are of Copper and Sparkle. I haven't featured them lately, so I thought I'd put them in the spotlight since I was running a little short of photos this week.

RANDOMNESS #1 - I was at Chick-Fil-A in Trussville yesterday, and they are offering a really good deal. Next Wednesday, May 19, go to the Trussville or Roebuck Chick-Fil-A location and order any meal you want... BUT SAVE YOUR RECEIPT. It's good May 20 through June 19 for the VERY SAME ORDER FREE! So basically, it is a Buy One/Get One Free deal, but if you're planning on shopping in Trussville next week, arrange your schedule to go Wednesday, and then you'll have a free lunch sometime the next month. (You know you're going to eat at Chick-Fil-A anyway!)

RANDOMNESS #2 - I found this little tidbit on Bargain Mom's website. Chick-Fil-A will introduce a new Spicy Chicken sandwich to the menu in June. To get a free sandwich, they have created a website where you can register Monday, MAY 24. Go to www.getspicychicken.com. You will select the restaurant and time to pick up the sandwich. (Can you tell my son works at Chick-Fil-A? I'm like a Chick-Fil-A Booster!)

RANDOMNESS #3 - Since your bellies are full (or soon will be), you can now go bowling FOR FREE. Go to www.kidsbowlfree.com and register your children (15 and younger) for free bowling at Vestavia Bowl Monday through Friday throughout the summer. All you have to pay is shoe rental. The details are on the website. We did this last year, and if we had a rainy day with nothing to do, we called some friends (who were also registered) and BOWLED! FOR FREE!

Weekend Happenings

I hate to say it out loud, but so far we are still virus-free. In fact, everyone seems to be feeling exceptionally well today. So I'll tentatively talk about Weekend Happenings here on A Simple Life knowing at any minute it could all come tumbling down like a house of cards. But that's okay, because as we've already established, I'm the MOST FLEXIBLE human being alive... NOT!

Tonight we're visiting and eating with friends. Roxie is hanging with Grandmother and Katie, and Austin isn't quite sure what his plans are, but plans he will probably have.

On Saturday night, Mikie and I have a date for a silent auction at the Garden Art Party. It sounds very sophisticated, doesn't it? We've been a couple of times before, and it is a lot of fun. I love walking around the room and seeing all the beautiful things being auctioned. Mike stays right by my side the whole evening. It has more to do with watching to make sure I don't bid on a ten-day cruise than actually enjoying my company, I'm afraid.

I have to admit, I do have a huge urge to write $1,001 after a $1,000 bid... you know, just to see what happens. And it would be so thrilling to win, wouldn't it? Well, until Mikie found my hiding place behind the large plant in the corner of the room.

But they have everything from floral arrangements, to photography sessions, to paintings, etc. It is a really fun event and it benefit Alzheimer's of Central Alabama. We've really enjoyed the times we've been before, so hopefully nothing will happen to mess up our evening out and about!

Sunday is Mother's Day... for me. We're going out to eat after church (I'm not sure where), and I will receive my gift (I'm not sure what) and then I'm taking my complimentary Mother's Day Nap when we get home! And to make everything even better, we're doing the Family Change Date Sunday, and we're all going to see Iron Man 2 Sunday night using all the change we collect from our rooms, cars and purses to pay for the tickets. It's like a free movie, I tell you!

This weekend really looks fun in writing, doesn't it? I hope no one throws up and ruins it for me!

I hope you and yours have a fantastic weekend! I'll have a few more graduation ideas to share next week. Tis the season, you know. And I think we'll go ahead and start talking about some new summer activities to try with the kiddos. It will be a week of information overload, I tell you!

Take care, and I'll talk to you Monday.

Sincerely,

The Enchanting Belinda
