We tried out a new restaurant for dinner Sat night; SO good - I had chicken with crab, shrimp, sundried tomatoes, capers, in a white wine sauce.
I went shopping at the outlets today and found a bunch of cute spring clothes for work and a dress at White House Black Market; got a pair of heels at 9 West. It felt so good to be outside today. We grilled for dinner tonight.
Tonight I'm trying to finish up laundry so S can pack. He'll be in Anaheim for most of April (home on weekends), but he's loving the job. I'm just so stinkin' happy for him. <3

I ended up having a really good weekend!
Yesterday, even though I had to grade papers, I was very productive and got all my cover letters graded. Last night we went out for pizza at the best local pizza place and went to see It Follows, which was weird and very creepy, but I kind of liked it.
Today started out with wind and pouring rain. We grabbed coffee and walked around the flea market. Didn't get anything, but it was fun. Then we went out for brunch and went shopping. I bought a bunch of really cute spring clothes and dresses.
The sun came out so we could take Rox for a walk. Now we're just relaxing. And I'm not even dreading work all that much this week because my Spring Break starts on Thursday (hot)

They always go by WAY too fast.
It was pretty good. Yesterday, I didn't end up hanging out with my sister so instead we tried to go to the trampoline park. We ended up at a bounce house instead due to traffic. I took a 3 mile walk, which felt great. 4 days until spring break!
Mine was good! Friday I went to my friend's show opening at a gallery near my office, then met G at home for Chinese take-out. Saturday I had some neighborhood association business in the morning, then G and I went to the mall to get him some new work clothes and shoes. We went out to dinner afterward. Yesterday we had friends over to watch the Michigan State game (G is a fan) and then just vegged all night.

OMGoodness, mine was so busy but mostly fun.
Saturday I went and got my hair done, road tripped to meet up with friends, shopping, lunch, pedicures, fancy dinner (I tried alligator), bar hopping to half a dozen different places, shuttle to the casino, and finally sweet sweet sleep at the hotel!
Sunday we all lounged around the hotel a bit chatting, drove back, tried a new place for lunch, tried to nap.

It was pretty good. Very chill. The weather was gorgeous! Saturday, we just piddled around town a bit. Sunday we had lunch on the patio, I took my nephew's 6 month pictures, then H and I cruised around town.

Weekend was great! The shower went off without a hitch and SIL got lots of good swag and I got lots of compliments on my party-planning and organization skills. Not gonna lie, I eat that up. I love doing it and I love the recognition for it.
Minimal drama. One lady was just SO annoying the entire time. Pre-party she said, "I don't know why no one consulted me about the party. I have lots of good ideas. Everyone should bring the baby a book." BTW- she didn't bring a book. Then she told my mom that SIL baby was named after her deceased son. Baby's name ends in -ly and her son that passed away was names Lee. So yeah, that makes the baby named after her son, who was a friend to SIL. she just had something to say about everything.
Sunday was so nice out so I decided to do some shopping and update my wardrobe a bit. Scored this pretty bag. It's too big for my liking, but I just loved the pattern so much I had to buy it.

It was alright. Friday we talked about finances a little. Saturday after work we had the full talk and made a budget, planned out debt payoff, blah blah. It'll be an unexciting time but it's worth it. I trust Dave Ramsey, I've done it before.
Yesterday I did some meal prep and cleaned a bunch and then we went to a lacrosse game that his shelter had a booth for. It was fun! I like violent sports and puppies so why not both? Haha.
My weekend was good! Friday I met S for a drink since it was our ex-anniversary, and I'm trying to cultivate as much goodwill as possible since I will need him to sign off on the uncontested divorce soon. It was fine. Then I went home and ordered pizza.
Saturday I did laundry and watched TV most of the day. Saturday night was Wine Riot, and it was really fun! I brought the guy I'm dating, so it was the first time he met any of my friends, and it went great. The food was really good too - we had oysters, maple-bacon grilled cheese and lobster rolls. We all went back to my neighborhood and went out for another drink.
Sunday, T left around 10:30, and even though it was really nice out, I spent the day on the couch re-watching TWD to prepare for the finale. lol
