Pirate Golf & Undercover Cops

Recently, Ken and I decided to take full advantage of the beautiful weather Mississippi was offering. In Pearl there is a great (and only in our area) mini-golf adventure, Mac & Bones, which offers 18 holes of fun for reasonable prices. We hope it sticks around and expands with more courses! Previously there was another mini-golf place in Jackson/Flowood area that had golf, go-carts and laser tag, games and even an ice skating rink but it closed unfortunately. I miss ice-skating! There is so little “to do” in the area and it’s so far to drive to somewhere that has more to offer.

After Mac & Bones we drove over to Tinseltown to catch a movie! Ken had his heart set on the new 21 Jump Street with Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill.

 

After grabbing a water for me, large drink and container of Nestle Crunch Dibs for Ken we headed into the theater for almost two hours of laughter. The premise of the movie is the two main actors are cops that are assigned to go undercover at a local high school, where the roles of nerd and cool guy are flipped from their previous experience in school, to catch a drug supplier. It was SO hilarious!! I still crack up with laughter when thinking about scenes. Will definitely be adding it to our “media library” when it comes out. *Warning — it’s crude humor and rated R for a reason..

We were able to meet M & K, a sweet couple, for dinner that evening. K & I have been friends since our pre-teen years. They are getting ready for their wedding coming up in May. I’m excited for them and hopefully will be able to share in their special day.

The house hunt is still on.. kind of at a standstill but hopefully it will be in full swing soon. I think we have even decided to switch counties. Oh joy for the possibility of sleeping later during the work week!! We will see.

Seen any movies you thought were great recently? What activity for a fun outing do you prefer?

Weekend Update 3/10

Can I just say I hate hate hate trying to get credit cards and credit bureaus updated.. yeah, I said it…. (please mr. man who updates the bureaus.. don’t take this statement personally and make things even more impossible to be correctly updated for me! thank you)

As far as the house hunt goes… it’s still on. Which I think will end up to be a good thing. We didn’t (and still don’t) know what we were doing and almost got hoodwinked! They were asking waaaay too much and wouldn’t back down. But that’s ok… we have options.  We are going to regroup a bit and get connected with a realtor who apparently is awesome. This weekend we got to snoop browse around some other houses in the same area, but will have to wait a couple more weeks to be able to really see the details and not just drywall.

Besides the mini tour of homes this weekend, I got my hair done on Saturday… boy did it need it! Shannon from Lacru salon worked her magic, gone are the dark roots and fresh blonde hues are once again in place. I tried taking particular notice to how and what products she used to style my hair. I feel I get stuck in the same rut with how I fix my hair the mornings. (e.g. straightener straight or up in a ponytail) I seem to leave myself little to no time for hairstyling — would you like to guess how I have my hair styled today… it’s a 50/50 chance you will get it right! I need to take time to study Kate’s tutorials on the Small Things blog to have a few options committed to memory.( I <3 her site!)

Then Saturday evening Ken and I stayed up til 3 (A.M.!!) playing Star Wars The Old Republic! It was so much fun! But you know what wasn’t so much fun?? Going to bed at a normal time Sunday to get up at ridiculous-o’clock Monday for work. Booo work… why can’t we be independently wealthy… or our work be playing games.. that has to be a cool job! (I am grateful to have a job nonetheless)

How do you change up your hairstyle?
