Good thing I decided to put my work bag in my car before heading out for the evening Friday night...the shiteous garage I was parked in was doing construction on the parking decks and if I would've left my car there I would've been trapped. Death to Center City parking garages! I walked around a bit and got a manicure (OPI I Manicure for Beads) - I also included that same polish in the fun box I sent to Christine for winning my birthday giveaway.
I made my way over to Aerosoles on 17th & Walnut for a private shopping party Jill organized. Good deals and shoes that will not kill my old lady feet = solid night. We went to dinner at Devil's Alley after. Food was meh and the service was terrible - a half hour between when the first dish in a course came out and the last. I've been there for lunch about a year ago with a much better experience. It took me an hour and 40 minutes to get into work Friday and 21 minutes to get home. Traffic.
I was in Doylestown to have breakfast with my girl AEB by 8:30 Saturday morning. We met at
The Hattery. We like it there. The lobby has a cool old suitcase wall.
I stopped to see my niece Lola Jean, who was six months old Saturday. She is cuddly and inquisitive and hilarious. I adore this child. I went to Target after and scored huge on chicken breasts. This is life excitement right now. I also got some totes for basement reorganization and sand toys, sidewalk chalk, and bubbles to leave for renters at the shore house.
I spent most of the afternoon laying down with a heating pad due to a bastard pinched nerve. When I got up, Mae decided the heating pad was hers. She could win every side eye contest.
Saturday night I met the Sisters Wexler for a belated birthday dinner at Three Monkeys. Fabulous food, wonderful friends, and a huge Villanova Win made for a good night. I was home and in bed before 11 but slept like buttholes because a humdinger of a storm ripped through and Geege and Mae were beside themselves.
Sunday afternoon we headed over to the Flyers Skate Zone to see our friend Jimmy Mac play on the NHS Blues against the Flyers Alumni for the Goals for Giving hockey fundraiser.
Weekly food prep:
egg muffins with leftover Easter ham and sharp white cheddar for breakfasts. For the freezer:
power breakfast muffins and
breakfast burritos made with eggs, diced green chiles, sharp white cheddar, and ground sausage (made egg mix and sausage, assembly and freezing tonight). Sunday dinner: baked chicken, baked sweet potatoes, and sauteed baby bellas and shredded brussels sprouts. Lunches: baked chicken and steamed broccoli. Snacks: grapes, cantaloupe, snap peas. Lemons cut up for water. Killed it this weekend. Other dinners are baked salmon and steamed veggies.
Other weekend things:
-Five loads of laundry done
and put away. Putting away laundry is one of my most hated hausfrauing items so it's worth noting. Usually I let it sit in the basket for a few days.
-A second trip to Target Sunday for the stuff I forgot Saturday...still forgot three items.
-Three bags of trash, one large picture, a chair, a rug, and a weight bench gone from the basement.
-Shades of Blue marathon
I saw a lot of my people this weekend, plus Michelle and Amelia Thursday night. It was a good one!
How was yours?
