Weekend Wrap Up: Busy yet Relaxing

I'm going to blame Daylight Savings Time for not getting my weekend wrap up up until Tuesday.

 Regardless, we had a great weekend.
We seemed to cram a lot in but had a fair amount of rest time in as well

(multiple naps on the couch...)

This weekend we:

• did some Spring cleaning 
• tried out the new 'pineapple' flavor at Yagoot
• went to a free yoga class at Lulu
• had coffee with a new friend, Lauren
• test drove some cars
• found out that we could have a beer on the patio at BD's Mongolian Grill for a $1 and have Floyd with us. dreams.
• watched the original 'Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' (very good)
• checked out the new Moerlein brewery downtown

And for my favorite purchase of the weekend: I picked up this blush (in pink passion) 

from elf (at Target) that I am quickly becoming obsessed with

 

Speaking of elf...look at this Groupon I found 

$15 for $30 worth! 

That is SO much elf!!

Gearin Up for the Weekend

So, we are hosting the mothers this weekend for a Mother's Day Luncheon...and I'm really excited! After much deliberation, I think I have decided on a menu. I LOVE planning menus but I have this teeny, tiny issue with wanting to make sure they are perfect.  And then I go over and over and over them until I'm positive they are perfect.  It makes for a long process and one that the Mister does his best to stay out of. Which is probably for the best because his answer is always, 'yep, that sounds good, I'd eat that.'  Not the most helpful answer.  So this time around I enlisted the help of Bethany...she gives much better input.

However, you lovely people, are going to have to wait to hear what the menu is until after the luncheon.  Hey, I have to keep some secrets from the Moms :)

Ill be back later this weekend with a full wrap up of the events, recipes, and crafts.  For now, I better get to cookin!


P.S. There's a Yagoot opening up about 7 seconds from our house on Saturday and they are giving it away free. I. Can't. Wait. Has anyone had Yagoot?? It's am.maz.ing. It is so good I may just move the luncheon there.
