Weekend Recap (3/22- 3/24)

My weekend started with Friday, because I had a vacation day from work I had to use up.  I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with my day off – until I realized I would much rather do little to nothing and just relax.  Last week was a stressful week at work, so I was happy to just have the day to de-stress and get some food shopping done. 

Friday

I headed out to Whole Foods (which is a lot closer to my new apartment), and picked up items to make for Friday night’s dinner. 

I made mahi mahi with hot sauce, steamed green beans and a DELICIOUS salad with romaine, mangos, pears, and a mango olive oil dressing.  It was so good!  I never had fish with hot sauce before, and I’m not sure why I waited this long to try it – because it was amazing. 

After dinner on Friday night, I started watching the documentary, Healthy for a Change.  I didn’t get to finish it yet, but for the most part it just kept saying the same thing – white sugar is the devil and is one of the reasons for obesity in the United States.  So if you didn’t know that, now you do.

Saturday

On Saturday morning, Bry had to get his car serviced so our alarm went off pretty early.  I got to relax in bed for a while until he got home thought – which was definitely nice.  It was so sunny on Saturday morning and I loved just relaxing on the couch for a while and catching up on New Girl!

I finally got out of bed and went over to Loft, because I still had one of their Savings Cards to use up before Sunday.  It was $25 off $50, PLUS they were having 40% off the entire store.  I got a knit sweater, a green blazer and black crops for work all for under $75.  Wahoo!  I saved so much money. 

On Saturday night, I went to a Coach purse Bingo game with Bryan’s mom, aunt and sister at his aunt’s church.  It was the first time I’ve ever played Coach Bingo, and unfortunately I didn’t win any Coach purses.  It was OK though, but we still had a great time eating tomato pie, lots of fruit and veggie straws. 

Sunday

Because I didn’t have any cell phone service on Saturday night at Bingo, I didn’t see that Comcast had called and left me a voicemail that they were coming out Sunday morning at 7AM!  Thus, we woke up on Sunday to our doorbell ringing 10X.  Thankfully, however, Comcast was able to somewhat fix the slow Internet connections we’ve been having.  At least now I can watch Youtube videos without wanting to chuck my computer out the window!

We didn’t get out of our pjs until around 4PM on Sunday, when we went food shopping and stopped at our old apartment to pick up the mail. 

All in all – not a bad weekend!  We didn’t get our wedding venue picked out yet (as planned this weekend), but I sent emails to a few others in hopes that their venue + catering is lower in price.  We’ve decided that the venue that we last saw, Morris Arboretum, is just too much out of our budget.  If catering and a venue was ALL that was involved in a wedding, we would have no problem, but there are about 10 other things that we need to pay for and we just can’t manage all of those.  On to the next!
