Just another manic Monday

How was the weekend? Tell me what you got into?

Weekend was good buy wayyyyy too short.

Friday night we did happy hour on our patio and then played some board games.

Saturday I met a friend for lunch and then P and I went appliance shopping to try and decide what we are doing about our kitchen. Later we went out for a friend's birthday. It was fun to get dolled up and I ended up getting a little tipsy.

I didn't sleep well Saturday night and so Sunday I laid low. We went appliance shopping (again) and then I came home and mushroom and wild rice soup. It was soooo good!

The weekend was really good! Friday night hockey with one of my friends and even though our team lost, we had a great time together. Saturday I laid low during the day and in the evening got all dressed up and went out for the night. As I put it to people asking what we were celebrating, we took our sequins out for a night on the town.

Yesterday I went to a cool event that was ballot education, brunch bites, and shopping with a discount. It was a great time! I went with the same friend who I went to the hockey game with.

The only not-great part of the weekend was going to 4 different stores to get everything I needed for a recipe. Everywhere was out of sage and most were out of good hard cider. I got home too late to make it last night, so I'll be cooking it when I get home this evening instead.

My weekend was mostly good. Friday night I went to a high school football game with my friend. Her daughter (my other daughter) is one of the football managers and got the guys to wear pink on honor of her mom, who's starting chemo tomorrow. They also did a fundraiser for her at the game.

Saturday was the cancer walk and our team had a blast. They had a dj at the start/finish and when we got done we had our very own dance party. Seriously, other people just left, so we stayed and danced in the middle of the street. It was a very good time. Then I took myself to see A Star is Born and made friends with the 70 year old lady sitting next to me. She told me Bradley Cooper is "nice too look at" and then when she saw a preview with a shirtless man said "Oh heellloooo." Anyway, the movie was amazeballs and I'm dying to see it again.

DS and I went to dinner with bf and then bf and ended up having a bit of a blow-up. I got a text from the cop, asking if I was out at the local zombie pub crawl (because it's one of my favorite things to do). BF didn't find the humor in me having ongoing contact with him so we had to work through that. It was a little tense for a bit, but we were able to talk it out.

Sunday I took DS and bf to my bff's house for pizza and a get to know you, sort of thing. We had a blast and he digs my friends and they seemed to like him too. Then I went to bf's house and met his daughter, who thinks I'm the coolest (obviously). She asked him this morning if I could come over again and play lol.

tiramisu, it must be a thing as I had to go to two stores for sage, too. What are you making?

I'm making a kielbasa and quinoa one-pot meal. It's really easy to make, aside from washing the quinoa. Just olive oil, onion, turkey kielbasa (or another kind of smoked sausage), sage, quinoa, hard cider, and a little water. They recommend adding in kale or spinach, but I hate when greens get wilted because I think they end up slimy, so I have my greens on the side.

WE GOT THE HOUSE! WE GOT THE HOUSE! WE GOT THE HOUSE! Did you ladies hear me? Cause WE GOT THE HOUSE!!!!

We walked after our final offer and she came back two days later and signed the contract. You guys, I was so shocked I could barely breathe. We never even considered she'd come back after she gave us a verbal "no". But she did and we are under contract! Now for the fun of lining up financing and getting to closing.

So anyway, the rest of the weekend was really nice but obviously pales in comparison to the excitement of Friday night. Saturday I slept in and then went for a really long walk. The weather here was really perfect so I wanted to be outside as much as possible. Saturday afternoon some girlfriends and I went and had a late lunch and watched football on an outside patio. Then we came home and watched more football. Sunday I went to watch more football.

Happy Monday everyone!

tiramisu - that sounds so good... I miss quinoa.

I got sick over the weekend. Just a little cold, but it's annoying. I need to hurry up and get better because we leave for vacation this Friday.

Speaking of, I need for it to hurry up and be Friday!

weekend was pretty low key and boring.

I worked Saturday AM, had a late lunch with some friends and then had a dinner and drinks plans with some other friends.
Sunday I got up early and hit the grocery store, made some meals for the week and watched football. My ADHD was in full force this weekend so there was a lot of wasted time doing nothing, which makes Mondays extra bad. uugghh

It's clearly sage weather, because I just made a sage-heavy turkey and dumpling soup today, LOL.

Congrats kaneen!

This weekend was far too short. I took full advantage of rainy afternoons to nap, I went riding, M and I had a date night and tried a new restaurant - it was wonderful. Monday just came around too quickly.
