My highlights this weekend included:
~Finishing the last day of Summer school!!!
~Relaxing on the deck since the crummy weather finally broke
~Had this pretty arrive and am totally smitten--the cognac band is the best color. I've already worn it every day since getting it
#katespadefordays
~Low key night in with Thai food and movies
~Ran some errands to prep for having my friend and her husband over for dinner
~Cooked completely vegan for the first time ever (to accommodate my friend's diet), and it was a total success--everyone went back for seconds and there were no leftovers:
(portobello and poblano fajitas--recipe coming at you soon)
~Ate the most delicious vegan dessert ever--I think MG's mind was blow that there was nothing dairy/egg in it!
~Had some hilarious conversations with our friends
~Sunday morning trip to Panera
(a chocolate croissant may have also been had, but wasn't pictured because it was devoured in 2.5 seconds :) |
~Errands, and dropped off things at Good Will--always feels good to purge
~Visited my dad in the hospital--he's supposed to be released today!!
~Had a yummy chicken-salad salad with the salad we forgot to eat with dinner the night before
~Went for a 4 mile walk along the Potomac River; saw some enormous water-front houses along the way that we were drooling over
~Had a Sunday night dinner and a movie date night to see Mission Impossible752 5--which was really well done.
And today starts my summer break. First on the agenda: having a repair guy come by to fix our attic fan. I'm kind of partying it up over here, guys. You might have to stage an intervention for all the fun this is gonna be :p
Maybe a trip to Target will be in store which means I'll probably leave with 800 things.
Hope you had a good weekend and your Monday's off to a good start!

ReplyDeleteThat cake looks so yummie, cannot believe it was vegan. Yay for summer break. I haven't been to Target in a few weeks. Have done that on purpose because I just buy the whole store. I go in for a few things and before I know it my cart is filled. Love your new watch. So fab! Hope you have a great week.

ReplyDeleteYAY for the end of summer school!! This weekend’s weather almost made me forget how terrible last week was. Love the watch – I can’t think of a more perfect one for fall! A night when there are no leftovers is a night you can tell was a good one! Happy to hear that your dad is being released today :)
ReplyDeleteI love your watch! And thai food and a movie night in is my idea of a perfect night in. Glad to hear your dad is going home, hope he continues to recover!
ReplyDeleteI'm not big on watches but yours is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHooray for the end of summer school! When do y'all go back? All of that food looks so so good.
ReplyDeleteI love that watch! Been wanting a Kate Spade watch for a while, but for now my MK watch does a pretty good job of looking fancy. Think I have to come over to your house for vegan night!

First day of summer break? Wow - how long will you be off? Schools here start within the next 2 weeks here. I can't believe summer is over.
ReplyDeleteStopping by from Mingle Monday :)
Yay for the last day of summer school! All that food looks delish, sounds like an amazing weekend :-D
ReplyDeleteCheers to a fabulous week gurlie <3
I am so happy to hear that your dad is feeling better and can hopefully come home! I was a vegan for 6 months to adapt a healthier lifestyle and some of the meals I cooked where surprisingly nice and tasty! But I just missed cheese too much ha.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to watch Mission Impossible we are behind in the UK so it isn't out yet so I can't wait to have a night at the movies.
I am loving your new watch, I am in need of a new one but haven't decided on one yet!
Thai and movies sounds awesome to me! Love the new KS watch and good luck in Target. You sound like me in there.
ReplyDeleteMmmm that dessert! Love your watch too. It’s beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLoving that watch, sweet girl! I told B that it's sad that I am a grown woman and don't have an everyday watch. He said he didn't believe me - then went and checked my jewelry box, came back and said "Well, maybe for Christmas" lol. So even he sees how dire the situation is:)
ReplyDeleteSuper impressed with your vegan cooking, and definitely interested in that dairy free dessert right about now:)
You did a great job with the vegan cooking! I tried a vegan diet, but it was not for me.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome weekend! I can't wait for your vegan recipes. Tomorrow is my last day before I have some time off before August 18. I am so excited but I'll probably be doing a lot of the same things. xoxo
ReplyDeleteLOVE your watch!! I have a black Kate Spade one but dying for a brown or tan one!! Also, that pie looks amazing! Share the recipe in a post soon?!?
ReplyDeleteThe walk along the Potomac sounds amazing. I think the last time the hubby and I had a movie date night was the last time we were in DC...way too long ago!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness for the end of summer school, I am sure you are so happy! I love that watch too! Xo, Stephanie
