Work, 4 mile walk and a bit of abs during lunch with Stacy, a visit to LuLuLemon which turned out fruitless as their pants, while I LOVED the style and they were super flattering, were a bit less capri and a bit more like ankle pants. Cute? Maybe. But not a 5'2" chica whose looking for pants that hit just below the knee. For $88 they had to be right. So i'm going to spin a bit, make sure it's something I want to do on the regular and if so, go back. These are the ones I tried on. They said the shorter ones would be in "in late spring early summer." Oy.
No, they don't come with those abs. If they did, the $88 sticker wouldn't even kind of sting! After Lululemon we hit up Lacoste and Austin got a new shirt, then we were on our way to Auburn to meet Tyson, say hey to Teresa, then drop off a car - time to hit Mobile for a Mardi Gras Ball! After a long drive, we got in town and went to a dinner party, then to O'Daly's Irish Pub for a drink, then to Boo Radley's to check out the band and dance. Fun night! I bumped into some old friends from college and we had a blast!
Saturday we woke up to find horrible weather and a cancelled parade. BOO! We made the best of it and had breakfast at the hotel, visited friends, and checked into the second hotel (within walking distance to the ball). Then I hit the gym and walked 4 miles, finished a book, and then met up with the guys at the hotel bar. Before we knew it, it was time to get ready for the ball! We had a great night, saw so many friends from college and had a very late night. But it was a good time and of course hilarious to see the boys in matching tuxes with tails, and fun to dress up in long gowns! Here's some pics
Q: Have you ever been to a mardi gras ball or ball of any kind? First mardi gras ball for me - I loved seeing everyone dressed up!
Q: What was the highlight of your weekend? Mine was probably Saturday, before we went to the ball, just hanging at the hotel having a beer with Austin & Tyson - I heart chill time!
