Well, it’s Monday again, and I can’t believe it. It seems like the weekends just fly by! Here are a few highlights from my weekend:
- A delicious Thai dinner on Friday night. I’ve always taken a very firm “anti-curry” stance, preferring pad se ew or pad thai, but I tried a bit of yellow curry, and man…I might be a convert. It was amazing.
- Going grocery shopping at the crack of dawn of Saturday morning. Seriously, I was the first person in Whole Foods, and I got my dark chocolate non-fat mocha, and dreamily wandered the aisles. Whole Foods has some affect on me where I can’t help but want to turn into a totally crunchy granola girl, who hikes and kayaks and all that jazz. Instead, I settled on some organic produce and other delicious goodness, but man alive…that store does something to me. And seeing my refrigerator and cupboards full of healthy foods makes me so beyond happy.
- I cleaned out SEVEN BOXES WORTH OF BOOKS. What’s that I hear? The sound of anyone who has ever helped me move cheering? It’s true…I have wayyy too many books. I finally got rid of my college textbooks and other books that I know I’ll never read. I couldn’t bear to part with any of my childhood books OR The Babysitters Club series, but I did make a huge dent in my collection, which is now contained in two bookshelves and four cardboard boxes. WIN.
- I hauled my books and two bags of clothes to Goodwill for donating. And then I took a nap, because of my Morning of Awesome.
- On Saturday night, I went to Elizabeth’s for dinner and to give Senor Pants his birthday gift. It was really nice to just have a mellow night—I’m so appreciative of friends where we can just hang out and talk and laugh hysterically. And of their adorable children who are just too cute.
- On Sunday morning, I went out to breakfast, where Andrew and I negotiated the perfect splitting of this amazing Apple Pancake and Eggs Benedict. We were both happy with the combo of sweet and savory, and I say again, I would rather go out to breakfast than any other meal. Period.
- Sunday afternoon, I got to spend time with my dear friend Katy. Katy is loyal, sweet and funny and it was awesome to get to grab lunch and chat for a bit. I seriously hit the jackpot in the friends department!
- Finally, the weekend capped off with a family dinner of pizza, lots of laughs and the most epic game of Yahtzee EVAH! I rolled three Yahtzees. It was amazing, and as always, it was SO GOOD to see my family.
I wish the weekend could have lasted forever, but alas, it cannot. The good news for me is that I worked out early this morning, I have a facial scheduled tonight to hopefully combat my skin, which has been acting rather middle-schoolish, and I’m on the downhill slope to my two weeks of Spring Break, which cannot arrive soon enough.
What did YOU do this weekend? What was the best part?

BSC. Sigh!
Reminds of good old times.
This is what I did this weekend: http://gubraithianfire.blogspot.com/2010/02/back-in-jammies.html
Real cute blog. Me Likey.
oh man, i know we kept all our Babysitter’s Club & Sweet Valley High books… i wish i knew where they were.
and i’d LOVE to get a facial! doesn’t it piss you off that all through your teens they tell you your face breaks out because of puberty & hormones… they never tell you it will most likely continue for the rest of your life in some shape. grrrr… more lies, add it to the “period space space” rule crap they feed you too
I am so impressed you cleaned out your book collection. Mine needs serious attention. I think when I move this September, I’m going to have to part way with at least a box or two. Because I’ve officially run out of bookshelves and tables on which to stack them!!!
This sounds like a lovely weekend (minus the getting up so early
)…
I love Thai food and I am a red curry girl all the way!
Do you have a favorite Thai restaurant?
My weekend was mellow. I tried crocheting a simple beanie (and it was quite easy, I have to say!
)… other than that I ran some errands and cleaned the apartment. That’s about it.
Weekends can’t last forever, but it sure would be nice if they were 3 days instead of 2. Seriously. I’d even compromise and say every other weekend is 3 days. I think the collective whole of our lives would be that much better off!
I love thai food, even the curries. Speaking of curries, do you enjoy Indian? I like indian food especially if the curry is really spicy and the naan is cheesy, It gives me tummyache sometimes but i never learn my lesson.
I agree about breakfast. Although I guess I’m partial to brunch since it’s the only morning activity that encourages drinking mimosas.
I feel slightly foolish that this is my first comment on your blog (since I’ve been reading since your 20sb win) but I LOVE YOUR BLOG! I look forward to your posts and you crack me up
and that dark chocolate non fat mocha sounds HEAVENLY. I wish there was a whole foods in my neck of the woods.
Saturday night was so great – yummers. Also, Whole Foods totally does something to me too – like I just want to buy hippie soap and start a coffee cooperative or something. ! It must be something they pipe in. AND I totally want a dark chocolate non fat mocha. AM JEALOUS.
But not as jealous as I am of this book collection – I am so totally going to have to borrow some Baby Sitters Club books.
Sounds like a fun weekend! I hate that there’s no Whole Foods store near my house, it would make shopping for healthy food so much easier!
I’m with Nilsa, a three day weekend would make the week SO much more bearable. Really it would.
Very impressive on the book clean out. I got rid of a bunch last summer before I moved cross country and I haven’t missed any of them one bit.
Sounds like a great weekend! Best part of my weekend was an amazing dinner in Houston. Seriously it was amazing.
I wish I still had my Babysitters Club collection!
Aww, I’m lucky to have YOU!!!
