Weekend Recap (10/12- 10/14)

This weekend was pretty great.  There was just the right balance of relaxing, napping, and shopping.  That’s the perfect mix for me!

Friday

After work I stopped by my favorite happy hour restaurant/bar to meet up with old co-workers.  One of the women was leaving, so we celebrated her new job opportunity with margaritas!  It is a tradition with my old company, and I was glad that I went.  It was so nice seeing everyone, even though it has only been a month.

Saturday

My alarm went off at 6 AM on Saturday.  I had to drop my car off at the dealership for inspection.  Luckily, Shelly (yes, my car) passed!  She’s healthy!  After dropping my car off, Bry and I took his grandmom to a bridge tournament near Arcadia University.  I got to nap a bit in the car, so I wasn’t too cranky. 

Before we got home, both of us were starving so we stopped at a diner near our house and got breakfast.  It was very delicious.  Bry had eggs benedict and potatoes and I had scrambled eggs with potatoes, rye toast, and a lot of coffee.

When we finally got home we used the rest of the day to catch up on TV shows and nap on the couch.  Perfection.  We both had a very busy week last week, so we had the Voice, X Factor and other reality shows to watch.  X Factor is actually a really good show.  I never watched a full season in the past, but this year I watch the show every week.  Demi Lovato is my favorite judge.

I checked the mail during a break in between shows and found this gem in the mail.  The Trader Joe’s Fearless Flyer!  To my surprise this entire issue focused on PUMPKIN! 

Sunday

I was able to sleep in until 8 AM Sunday morning, which was great!  Catching up on sleep was a necessity this weekend.  After having breakfast, Bry and I went food shopping for items for dinner this week.  Up on the menu this week:  spaghetti with homemade tomato sauce, baked eggplant and corn, soup and whatever else we can throw together quickly.  Once the groceries were brought into the house, I drove over to the KOP mall to shop.  Bryan opted to stay home, because shopping with me sometimes takes a while.  The goodies I purchased:  new GAP jeans, Dove body wash, and 2 candles from Bath and Body works (Brandied Pear & Snowed In).  I started burning the Brandied Pear candle during dinner and it smells delicious.  I told Bryan I would wait until it snowed to use Snowed In. 

For dinner, Bryan had a pork chop with a piece of tomato, basil and mozzarella on top and I had tomato, basil, mozzarella with my vegetarian spicy chik’n patty with a side of BBQ sauce.
