Haven’t felt like posting much this week. Haven’t much felt like myself either. PMS really hit hard this week…and I’ve been tired and dragging, ornery and sad, and I’m sure, almost unbearable to live with. My moods have fluctuated so greatly from being sad and crying to just plain ole tired and unresponsive. I’m sure Thom thinks my head is going to spin around at any moment now. But…I’m feeling loads better now. Why is PMS getting harder the older I get? Auuughhh…
Anyway…so Hot Springs was pretty cool. Thom and I headed up into Mountain Tower to view an awesome Arkansas vista. We could see miles and miles of mountain ranges and parts of Lake Hamilton. We drove the main drag which had lots of artsy shopping, the Arkansas Walk of Fame, and Bathhouse Row. We walked around the Arlington Hotel which is where Al Capone stayed. Across the street we strolled through Arlington Park and looked at a spring. And it was HOT. Very cool.
We also drove out to Lake Hamilton and stopped at The Winery to do a tasting.
No trip is complete until I track down the local TJ Maxx and flex my discount benefits. Bought some really, really cute stationery and shower gifts {for Heather’s upcoming bridal shower}. And then we headed out to Benton to eat at Brown’s. It’s an awesome, AWESOME buffet..and I’m almost embarrassed about how much I ate. Almost. The food was just so homey and delicious.
On the way home I got my first glimpse of tornado damage. Huge trees uprooted, homes with their roofs torn off, and tons of electric company trucks trying to get the electricity back up and running.
So that’s about it. I returned to work and have had a productive week there. The weather here has been so rainy and dreary, and the natives are baffled. There have been way more storms than normal, but luckily, they seem to skip over the Little Red River Valley…so I haven’t had to be so concerned.
Hope y’all are well…and having a great week!
Oh yay! Shower gifts! My mom has already started buying them too 🙂
Love,
Heather
