I hope this made you laugh and much as it did me!

Weekend Update

I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter weekend! I sure did. Even though I didn't get to spend it with any blood relatives my family of friends took good care of me and made it a wonderful few days. Unfortunately, being the terrible blogger that I am, I forgot to take ANY pictures. Not-a one. So I'll just have to borrow some to illustrate the good times I had.

On Saturday morning I got up and meet my dear friends Codi and Alison for breakfast at Big Blue Bagel.  

I had a delicious Cinnamon bagel and some hot tea

We gawked at a couple of these walking by. (They had their shirts on. sigh)

And caught up on all of the juicy gossip

After Breakfast, that turned into lunch, I hit up The Gap. They were having a HUGE sale (extra 40% off of everything) and I got a ton of sweaters for like $3! It was pretty fantastic. 

Later that night, some friends came over and...

We ate a TON of food. I made Paula Deans brie en croute and it was mighty tasty

Drank some wine

And watched the Lifetime movie William and Kate. It was ridiculous! 

(I think he said something funny!)

On Sunday morning I celebrated the fruits of the ultimate sacrifice during a beautiful church service. I then enjoyed a big Easter lunch with the Rummers and this crazy lady

And got to see (via Skype) my friend Jennifer's new baby. Isn't he precious!

What a great weekend! Happy Monday, y'all!

Dinner for one

 
I came home for Easter to a big empty house. My parents are on a cruise (I'm super jealous), so I decided to take the day off from people and get some shopping, homework, and cooking done. I made an excellent pasta dish that I got from my friend Whitney, who is an awesome cook! I bought some yummy wine from World Market, cozied up on the couch, and thoroughly enjoyed my dinner. Yay for me time!

Nuggets

I was flipping through Better Homes and Gardens Magazine (yes, we've already established that I'm an old woman) and I saw this ad...

At first glance I got very excited! Thinking this was some kind of fried cheese appetizer or possibly corn nuggets (who doesn't love corn nuggets? I mean, come on.). Upon further inspection though I read the not so fine print and saw this...

Popcorn fish is the MOST disappointing food item this could have turned out to be. I was pretty upset.

Rain, Rain, Go Away

This is what happens when you leave your rain jacket in your boyfriend's car and your umbrella in your mom's car and you have to where a suit to school. Not pretty. The trench coat makes me look like a flasher. WHOO! (This is the sound I hear when I imagine flashing someone. Okay, this is getting weird...)

P.S. This weekly thunderstorm business is getting old. Sunshine, please come back!

Fam Love

Look a shopping trip to Target today. Saw this.

Nuff said.

Good Ol' Fashion Fun

Amidst long hours of spreadsheet modeling and paper writing, the Boy and I took some time out to partake in one of the retirement home's most beloved traditions.

I love a good puzzle! The Boy got a little bored and ended up watching Family Guy but I enjoy having an fun, challenging task whose outcome will not have real life repercussions. Isn't nice to get away... (Cheers anyone? Yeshs, I am getting old!) Anyway, that's what I did this weekend and I'm pretty proud of my masterpiece! :)
