memorial weekend part 1

now that its taken me the weekend to "get over" the fact that i am not getting my dream house aka the ketchup estate i can post about our very busy weekend. started off by heading down to indy on thursday for mike's work. kaylee was a super good girl for the whole entire trip. we made a mistake by telling her that she can go swimming later. all day that's all she wanted to do. we got lucky and was able to check into our hotel room {stayed at the omni} early so we dropped off our bags and went to lunch at the old spaghetti factory. while mike was in his meeting, kaylee and i went shopping. i found a skirt and top at h+m. went and got a cold beverage at godiva and kaylee a new cinderella barbie since booah has chewed off a foot from each of her other 2 barbies plus she was being super good except the part when she kept asking if it was time to go swim.

we headed back to the hotel room for a potty break and headed back to nordstrom to do a make-over since we had plenty of time to kill plus i'm really ready for frump girl to go away. only dilemma was deciding who and which make-up company to chose from. i decided to see what kind of sales they had instead. its amazing that justin timberlake's clothing company makes jeans and sells them for over 200 bucks. does he really need that kind of money?? anyway, i found a blouse when mike then calls and says his meeting is out. a 3 hour meeting = a nice get away for us. couldn't get any better than this. after buying some undies from victoria secrets {love their low rise cotton bikinis} we headed back to the hotel room to freshen up and rest my sore feet. i didn't bring any other shoes either. we headed over to the alcatraz brewery for a drink before heading over to pf changs for dinner. mike has never eaten at pf changs and he was kinda worried that he wouldn't like it or it wouldn't be as good as ruth chris's. he ended up loving it! their food has soo much flavor in it and the prices make it even better. we ended up getting 2 appetizers and 3 plates and mike had 2 drinks for 70 bucks including tip. after pigging out at dinner we decided to take kaylee swimming and we would walk the monument tomorrow. while on the elevator mike said the pool was on the lower level but our elevator did not go that far and that he would have to walk through the lobby which he didn't want to do since he didn't have a shirt on. i found this to be pretty funny for some reason and start laughing. mike says heck with it and gets off the elevator and walks into the lobby when a worker stops him, in the middle of the lobby for all to see and is stumbling to say the right thing when she just comes out with " the next time you want to avoid the nakedness in the lobby..." - i BUST out laughing even harder! i had tears rolling and had to hold in my sides. it was the funniest thing ever said and to this day i still tease him about the "nakedness in the lobby."

woke up friday to a rainy day. we ate breakfast at steak-n-shake. why are those places so dirty? the food was good and we walked around a little bit. mike wanted to see the new stadium and wanted to walk around it but obviously they are not done building it yet. {payton manning on the old stadium.}

we then decide to head out since it was cloudy and rainy. getting out of indy wasn't too bad considering they were setting up for the indy 500 and all that goes on with it... parade. almost out of indy and i tell mike we should head over to keystone mall. he made a u turn and we headed in that direction much to my surprise. i love that mall because they have shops that we don't have around us like crate and barrel, pottery barn and renovation hardware besides many others. i ended up getting some make-up from bare essentuals. i really like their stuff. ate lunch at ruby tuesday in kokomo. it was pretty much right after lunch that i got the "call" from our realtor. we both thought that it was good news, someone wanted to buy our house or at least wanted to see it again. nope. i cried all the way home. we were suppose to go over to friends house later in the evening but i didn't feel like seeing anyone. i did feel like seeing the bottom of a mega bottle of grey goose.
