This week's weather did well by my new plants!
The transplants took beautifully.
My tulips have already started blooming.
The snapdragon has tons of new buds, ready to burst!
The dahlias and morning glories have poked through the ground with lots of little sprouts.
Everything looks great so far!
Don't you just love projects with such tangible results?
My mom always says that it is so much more rewarding to clean a dirty house than a spotless one!
Also, I'm spoiled.
I enjoyed dinner outdoors twice this week!
It was a very strange feeling - relinquishing control of the cooking. Have I mentioned yet that I'm a bit of ancontrol freak avid cook?
I did it twice though, and the results were...well...
DELICIOUS!
Chris grilled up a tasty dinner for us on Sunday.
He grilled marinated pork and shrimp with butter and Old Bay -and now, I'm hungry again just thinking about it!
My parents grilled shrimp and served it over my mom's famous Caesar salad with homemade croutons and dressing.
Spring Break should happen more often than once annually...I'm just saying...

I also chopped off 8 inches of my hair this week. It feels FANTASTIC. Chris has only ever known me with long hair, so I was interested to see his reaction. I didn't tell him that I was getting it cut or that I had a surprise or anything. When he got here, he told me I looked pretty twice, and then 5 minutes later realized what I had changed.
Success!
AND, to SAVE THE BEST FOR LAST!!!!!!

Nothing beats the midnight premiere of the Hunger Games on a school/work night with my little sister!! We got there over an hour early and it was jam packed! We barely got seats together. They did such a great job with the movie. Obviously, they had to leave out several small things from the book, to fit it into a reasonable amount of time, but honestly, they captured the characters and the storyline very well. I wanted to start from the beginning and watch it a second time as soon as it ended!
May the odds be ever in your favor!

Yay for your flowers growing this week! I am going to get started on planting this weekend (hopefully).
ReplyDeleteAhhh love the flowers! Snapdragons are so fun. Can't wait to see a pic of your new haircut:)
ReplyDeleteOmg I am so hungry now...shrimp w/ caesar salad and homemade croutons?! DEEEELISH! I really want to watch Hunger Games but do you think it would be better to read the books first? I really want to but I also want to watch the movie!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour spring flowers are so pretty! And that shrimp on the grill looks delicious! I am now hungry. Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you liked the movie. I'm excited to go soon. I might way until the crowds die down. Crowds inside buildings aren't really my thing. I'm more of an open-air kinda girl :)
ReplyDeleteyou are hard core going to the midnight premier on a work night. my sister did the same thing. if we lived in the same town, she probably would have suckered me into going with her... but instead i will be seeing it on sunday night!
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I are going to see the movie this weekend!
ReplyDeleteYum! I love BBQ shrimp.

ReplyDeleteOh, I love snapdragons and dahlias! Can't wait to see how your garden grows, Rebecca!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with me!
Ahh I found daffodils in my yard the other day. I could have cried with joy!
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are gorgeous. And I can't wait to see The Hunger Games!
