From dinner we spent to the rest of the evening drinking a few drinks and doing karaoke and Just Dance. I had a really awesome time. I stayed til 3am. The latest I have ever stayed up for about a year. I gave myself an hour to sober up before I drove home. Two drinks wasn't too bad though. All the sweating from dancing and singing worked that off. Nat's husband Aaron even got in on the show which was pretty interesting to watch.

I must say this was a much needed break from the recent stress I have had. When I came home I had to wrap my poor fingers though. The skin is cracking and flaking away leaving nothing but red and bruised skin beneath it. I am having trouble as I type now since 4 of my fingers are wrapped up. I am scared to say that I might have to give up my job that I love which is doing nails every weekend. I plan to schedule an appointment with a dermatologist this week and see what I can do to heal them and prevent this from happening again. I have put it off long enough and hopefully I can avoid putting away my passion.

Ahh Sunday! I got to sleep in. Which was very nice considering I am usually up at 7:30 or 8am every morning with Ava. I woke up groggy from drinking and oversleeping. I had to meet with a client of mine at the Jockey Lot to fix a nail and look for a belt for my husband. Unfortunately the leather store was closed. It was a ghost town because of the holiday.
After a little trip to Rayne, LA, I had my little girl from the babysitter and we went to what my friends like to call the Simcoe Compound (an apartment complex where a few of my friends live). Ava got to see her best friend Moxie. Nat had prepared the girls Easter baskets and eggs to play with. Which all but lasted a few minutes. Silly girls. Miss Bekki (you can call her the momma of the compound) and Nat had prepared a feast of brisket, beans, potato salad, rice dressing, broccoli and cheese, deviled eggs, rolls, cookies and pie. You can say before the end of the day I was stuffed. Absolutely delicious.

We took the girls to the pool. Which yes in Louisiana it is already pool weather. It was a little cold at first but the girls took it like pros. After about an hour they both seemed to be getting sleepy. Since Ava was out of little swimmers (I forgot to buy new ones for this year) she came out with a water butt. Totally made me jealous. Wish I had a butt like that.

Stripped and changed, we had to sadly say our goodbyes. Ava and I had one last stop of the day to visit Nanny K. She just moved into her awesome new house and we had to go check out her new digs. I am so proud of her. She has made an awesome decision that I can see is truly making her happy. I look forward to coming visit a lot. I am really excited for her. Now if only some of that excitement would wear off on me about my own moving situation...
