Weekending Highlights

Somehow it's not only Monday but it's the last week of September. How quickly is time flying???
Ok enough of that--let's chat about the highlights from the weekend!

My weekend highlights included:

~Going home on Friday afternoon to relax and attempt to recover from the cold. Ending up sleeping for 2 hours on the couch. Guess I needed it.

~MG took me out to Sweet Water Tavern for dinner since neither of us felt like cooking. I gorged on a bacon cheeseburger with their "wicked" sauce (it's wickedly delicious!)

~a quiet night in, finished Ballers season 2, and more sleeping on the couch ensued while watching Dateline

~Woke up feeling about 80% which is HUGE. I never feel this good this quickly after coming down with a cold. Guess that sleep paid off. And saline spray!! I highly recommend that stuff for any future cold suffering (do it like 8 times a day when your cold first comes on)!

~Early morning trip to Costco where they had the world's largest teddy bear. Stocked up on more pirate's booty, pesto and quinoa. Plus we got ourselves a new, fancy stainless steal motion sensor trash can for the kitchen (only $40!)

(teddy looks a little drunk)

~Did a quick run to Target and picked up this super comfy Gilligan O'Malley lounge shirt (omg it's so soft) for $19 and then found out once we got home that the check out guy didn't scan it right so we got it for free. #happyaccident

~Went to Tyson's mall to return a shirt to Loft and get some money back on the shirt I wanted to keep, but went on sale for 40% off (got $29 bucks back on that one) and MG found two new pairs of shoes for himself

Mixed Media Top  $35                                    Tie Neck Shell $23.99

~Had lunch at Brio: lobster bisque for two (I swear I could eat a vat of that stuff!), plus a margarita pizza to split (super yum!)

~Went for a 3 mile walk with MG on a trail near our house

~Had another pretty quiet night in which was perfect for my cold recovery, and after the crazy busy weekend we had last weekend. Facetimed with my one SIL and BIL, too!

~Started a new Diane Chamberlain book (she's definitely a new favorite author of mine!)

~Had a quick breakfast, ran to the grocery store to pick up some things I didn't get the day before, then met up with my friend MK for a long walk with temps that started to feel like Fall weather and then grabbed lunch together at Panera (hello broccoli cheddar soup in a bread bowl!)

~Made a cheesy chicken, broccoli and rice casserole to take to my friend who is going through chemo (dropping it off today)--we have a meal delivery sign up going on for her so she doesn't have to worry about cooking. Hopefully the casserole is a success!

~My other SIL and BIL were in town with our oldest niece for a recruiting session at Catholic University so I got to spend some time with them and then went out for a steak dinner that night

~Got in some good family time before heading off to bed to rest up for another work week (and the second part of her recruiting session this morning).

All in all, it was a restful weekend which was much needed to get over the hump of that cold. Hoping yours was fun and restful too!
