Monday is here again, folks.  Wahoo.  (I hope you noted the sarcasm there) 

Although I’m pretty bummed that the weekend is over, I can’t complain about the weather today.  It’s bright and sunny, which is the ideal way to start a Monday.  No need for any gloomy starts to my week!  Sure, it’s a bit colder than the weather we’ve been having but I’ll take no rain.

Here’s a recap of my weekend.

Saturday

Since nothing really too exciting happened on Friday, let’s just start with Saturday.  Saturday morning we didn’t wake up until after 12PM.  Bryan went out with some friends on Friday night and didn’t get home until almost 3:30, so I waited up for him before heading to bed.  That being said, I wanted to get a full night’s sleep so I slept until the afternoon Smile 

After finally getting up, we drove over to our jeweler to fix my engagement ring.  On Friday night, I noticed that one of my side diamonds that go around my band had fallen out and one of the prongs had broken off.  I was VERY happy that they were able to fix my ring in an hour’s time!  I definitely can’t complain. 

While waiting for the ring to be fixed, Bry and I went to Rock Bottom Brewery for some lunch.  I got the veggie burger with a side of jalapenos and black beans.  It was a great choice!  Unfortunately, I didn’t take any photos to show you but you’ll just have to trust me on this one.  If you have a Rock Bottom Brewery in your area, you must go and get the veggie burger.  Here’s a list of their locations:

After coming home from the mall on Saturday, I ended up using the engagement card that Leslee got us as a decoration in our bathroom!  I think it looks awesome.

Sunday

On Sunday afternoon, we went to Bryan’s parents’ house for Mother’s Day.  I had grilled lobster and Bryan had lobster and grilled steak.  Everything was so delicious!  After dinner we had mini cupcakes from a bakery near their house.  My favorite was the salted caramel vanilla cupcake.

Sunday night we finished up watching Dexter (not sure what season that was… but it was the one with the guy from 3rd Rock from the Sun).  *Don’t spoil anything for me in the comments!  I love that show.  We took a few months off from watching it, but I’m glad we picked it back up again.  It’s always so surprising and suspenseful!

Nicole @ Simply Nicole

I love Rock Bottom! And of course, it doesn’t hurt that I usually hit up some stores in KOP while waiting for a table 🙂
I went to Plaza Azteca in Plymouth Meeting for the first time Saturday night. Have you ever been there? Amazing!

Nicole @ Simply Nicole

Really?! that is the place you always talk about?! haha. I had no idea! Let me know…I am right down the street in Manayunk and do all my shopping in the Metroplex lol. I am always in PM!

Also…I don’t know if you ever go to Produce Junction…but they have awesome prices for produce/plants/flowers.

Nicole @ Simply Nicole

Love Produce Junction. There’s not one too close to me though. Email me and we’ll chat!

Chelsea @ LittleOneRuns

Mmmm those cupcakes look good!! Saturday was relaxing for me, then Sunday I spent the day with family. I usually get a salad. I’ve never went to a place that offers a side of jalapenos!! I must go to that place.

Nicole @ Simply Nicole

OMG the jalapenos truly made my veggie burger. I love anything spicy, so it was honestly the best burger I’ve ever tasted!

I should be embarrassed but Im not 🙂
IM SOOO GLAD FOR MONDAY.
Im ready to get stuff DONE with the family gone 🙂

Nicole @ Simply Nicole

I guess if I had family over all weekend I would be happy too to finally get some time to myself to get work done. I had a bit of time to sleep in, but it’s never enough 🙂
