Glad to hear that you are all safe. I watched the weather channel last night and saw that they were tornado watches and warnings out your way. My daddy was born and raised in Arkansas and was absolutely terrified of any kind of bad weather.
'Nuff talking about trivial things like the weather. Let's talk about you being excited about the Triple 2's!
I can remember being terrified of tornadoes when I was little...and we have NEVER even had a tornado here! So I can only imagine living somewhere where that is actually a real threat.
For your countdown!
I can't believe how quickly these trips are coming!
YAY
I also did a bit of yoga. About 2:00 I realized that I had not packed myself or the kids. I don't pack DH because I don't know what he wants to wear. I do pack his toiletries, though. (Is that too feminine a word to use for his stuff?) Anyway, I ended up only getting myself packed before it was time to get the kids from school. DH was trying to get off work early, but didn't end up getting done as early as he'd wanted. He still made it back home before we did, though. We had to go all the way across town to Wal-Mart for a couple birthday gifts. DD had a party to go to that night, and my nephew's party was on Saturday. We also stopped and fueled up before heading home. We quickly packed the rest of the way, loaded up Margot-puppy and took off for the kennel to drop her off. Next, we dropped DD off at her party. After dropping DS off at the in-laws' we finally were on our way to Little Rock. I don't think we checked in to our hotel until 7:00 or 7:30. 
After we got out things situated, we met up with a couple of friends for dinner at Pei Wei! Anyone else love Pei Wei as much as I do? My friend Amy & I split the lettuce wraps, the crab wontons, and the Caramel Chicken. Yummy! We visited back at their house for a bit before heading back to the hotel for the night. Holy cow. Only the shoes on our feet and no make-up, no deodorant, no toothbrushes. 
DH went down to the front desk for toothbrushes and we made plans to go get everything else we needed Saturday morning.
I put on my sunglasses and pull my hoodie's hood up over my head and venture out into public. (I know it's pretty vain, right?) I felt so silly walking through the lobby. I just knew people were looking at me, thinking that I'm trying to pretend that I'm somebody! We make it to Target where I have to remove the sunglasses in order to choose just the right everything. I'm talking everything. At least it's stuff I would have eventually had to buy anyway. I also needed a new pair of shoes to wear out that night. I had driven down in my Uggs and they were not going to match the outfit I'd packed. We went back to our hotel so I could "fix up" and then off in search of shoes. The mall held no shoes for me that day. We left with me feeling pretty discouraged that I'd ruined our day. It was lunch time by then, so we set off in search of a Shoe Carnival and some lunch. We had lunch at a Schlotzsky's Deli. We don't have one of those in my town. We used to get Schlotzsky's in Branson, MO, but since theirs shut down, we haven't had it. It's been too long. Schlotzsky's made everything better. That, and there was a Shoe Carnival nearby. I found some cute gold flats and we went across the street for some yummy Cold Stone! This was shaping up to be the best birthday ever!
It sounds like you had a fun, birthday weekend trip.
Mmmmm, Cold Stone!!! Love that place but so sad they closed the one around here.
Glad you had a good birthday weekend!
Which led me to look in to a grocery delivery service. We've gotten Allison started with some new Converse. She promises not to wear them until Disney World:
For the time being, that is! 
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
