MOM visit!

“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. When I let go of what I have, I receive what I need.” - Tao Te Ching

Good stuff.

My mom is traveling the brutal 9 hours down to Clovis tomorrow soooo naturally I'm as excited as an elephant in a peanut shop! I have a mini itinerary of what we'll be doing:

1. Thursday dining in: Bax, J and I are making dinner . . . and considering our successfully delicious meal last night of mashed potatoes, beans (mmmm beanzzzzzz) and chicken wings, I think we'll be just fine. Ooo maybe I'll try out my mom's recipe for meatloaf . . . MOM! MEATLOAF!! Just a thought.

2. Friday I have to work--gross--so she's on her own for a few hours to explore the wonderfulness of Clovis. There are definitely places I'll slap her hand for going to (hellooo Southwest-side of town), but she's creative so I'm sure she'll be just fine. I feel like the rest of the night more than likely will entail plenty of wine and plenty of girl talk. And I do mean: Girl. Talk. Dance. Fest. 2011. These moves didn't just appear one day! They came straight from the lady herself: mi madre.

3. Saturday will be Huskermania around the Nancy Lo' household. I might even make some guacamolesss. Watch out; things could get CrAzY! . . . then Saturday night I'll cruise the streets of Portales (Note: If anyone has a real classy purple low-rider with tinted windows, I could really use one) and show her campus, then treat her to a fancy Italian dinner at Vines. Repeat: CrAzY.

4. Sunday will be an early-morning sad goodbye sesh as she heads down the road to Nebraskerville and I trek the opposite direction to Santa Fe to pick up MY SKIIIIIIS! I've been getting overly- and probably awkwardly-excited for ski season sooo if I don't get some powder splashed in my face fast SOON I might lose it.

Kidding. But really.

Looks like it's going to be a great weekend.
