Late Night...

We had a late night last night, which is unheard of for me through the week. Come to think of it, late nights are pretty rare for me nowadays anytime. If you know me, you know I am not a night person. Anyway, last night I did have a late night...and I'm paying for it this morning. Ugh.

Mike, Jeannie, and Bobby showed up at our house yesterday at 4:00 and we all headed to Tupelo. We had decided on dinner at Logan's Roadhouse. We love Logan's and they are having a special right now where on Mondays & Tuesdays you can get two full meals for $12.99, which is awesome. So Logan's it was. I was really good and picked out the grilled chicken, dressing on the side, and grilled veggies & mushrooms for my side dishes. I did give in and have a Coors Light, but at 2 points/12 oz, I don't think that's bad. :) So we had a nice dinner at Logan's and I hadn't killed my diet. Go me!

After we ate, we dropped the boys off at Bancorp South Arena for their concert. They were so excited. We were excited to be off on our girls' evening out. :) We headed to Petsmart for a quick catfood pickup then went to Hobby Lobby. They had their paper packs & spare parts embellishments 50% off so we looked around there. I ended up getting some really cute flowers and a paper stack that I love. Now if I can just find time to use them...

Next we went to Belk. It is Clinque Bonus Time and we wanted to take advantage of that. I love Clinique! Last time I was at their counter I tried their touch base for eyes and fell in love. I was running out so I wanted to restock on that. I also go a tube of lipstick that I'm still trying to decide if I like or not. Anyway, that was enough to get me the current bonus, which I was really happy with.

Here's where my diet went to pot. The plan was that we were going to be bad and smuggle in some semi-healthy popcorn for our chick flick. I have a weakness for popcorn and knew I'd have to have some once we got inside. The problem was that by the time we made all our other stops, we didn't have time to go anywhere and buy said contraband snacks before our movie started. So what did we do when we walked into the theater? We bought the jumbo bucket of popcorn, of course! "Would you like butter?" the girl behind the counter asked. (Should they really be allowed to call that stuff butter???) To which I replied a very weak, very guilty, "Yes, please." Jeannie & I did share the monstrous bucket of popcorn, so that should count for something, right? And we did have a tiny bit left that we didn't eat, so that's good too, I suppose. However, I looked up the nutritional information on typical movie theater popcorn this morning and saw that the large bucket contains a whopping 1,238 calories and 78 grams of fat, 49 of them saturated. OMG. According to my calculations, that would be 15 points for my half. Since I only get 22 points per day and had already maxed those out, I pretty much blew my diet last night. Oh well...live and learn, right?

Guilt aside, we did enjoy our trip to the movies. We saw New in Town. I loved it! It was a really cute, clean movie and it had some hilarious scenes, not a few of which involved the little group of ladies in town who were "scrappers". They were ridiculously funny. Of course, we probably appreciated that more than the other 5 or 6 people in the theater since we ourselves are "scrappers". LOL Anyway, I would definitely recommend this one.

Our movie was over at 9:00 and the concert on the other side of town was still going strong, so we headed over to the center of the universe, AKA Wal-Mart. What better place is there to kill time late at night when everthing else is closed? We wandered around there for a while, picking up things we didn't need, which is pretty much the purpose of Wal-Mart. I did score a copy of Pretty in Pink -one of my all-time favorite movies - in the $5 bin, so I was happy about that. I just love that movie!

At 10:30 we finally heard from the guys that their concert was over. By the time we got back over there to get them, stopped for gas, and made it back to our house, it was midnight. UGH. It was around 12:30 when I finally got to sleep. At 4:15 my alarm started going off. UGH again. Boy I'm ready for 2:30 this afternoon so I can go home and take a nap. I've decided I'm too old for late nights out on work night. LOL
