Weekend Review

Happy Monday friends. It's the first full week of the new year back in my normal routine. You'd think I'd be high on new beginnings and all gung ho to execute life perfectly now. Whelp... so far in 2013 I've gained a pound, still haven't finished unpacking, have been going to bed way too late and sleeping in to make up for it, the apartment is messier than ever, and I have done nothing in the way of planning ahead (you know... figuring out what's for dinner, what I'll wear the next day, packing my lunch the night before....). I did have the yucks though, and that has put a serious kibash on my attempts at perfection. Keep calm and carry on! As long as I wash my hair tomorrow, I will at least be better off than I am today. ;-)

I was still feeling pretty sick, so Friday night was very low key. Andy and I stayed in, made grilled cheese sandwiches and soup for dinner, and watched a movie. We've been living in these pajamas my Mema got us for Christmas. They are nice and warm, which has been much needed lately.

Friday night = pajama night

I went to a Weight Watchers meeting on Saturday morning - down another 1.6 pounds (although I gained all of that back over the weekend). After the meeting it was time for my first day back at job number two. My shift flew by because the club was SOOOOO busy. Those New Year's resolutions were definitely being accomplished on Saturday! Hopefully people will give up soon so we are not so busy! Just kidding. I do really hope everyone keeps their resolutions... maybe they can just meet them when I'm not working, lol.

Saturday night was spent being treated to a delicious dinner at Will and Rose's apartment. It was so nice of them to invite us over to celebrate our engagement. :)

Everything tasted amazing!

Will and Rose were kind enough to let us borrow several books too - although I must say this has been my main problem in going to bed at a decent time. I've started reading "The Princess Bride" and it's so entertaining I'm having a hard time turning out the light. I saw the movie once several years ago and don't remember much of it at all, so I'm really enjoying the book.

Sunday I slept in. Mmmmm. Sleeeeeeep. Then Zumba. Then after the youth orchestra's rehearsal, Andy and I purchased.... a new toaster!!!! Walking through Bed Bath and Beyond was a magical experience because I kept thinking, "Ooo I can register for this, and I can register for that!" But sadly our toaster died and I really like toast, so I wasn't willing to wait to register for one. :-)

Then... the moment I've been waiting for. The return of DOWNTON ABBEY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rebecca invited us over for the show. She made a delicious dip for veggies (much appreciated) and then also had wedding cake to celebrate MATTHEW AND MARY'S WEDDING!!! Can I tell you that as much as I loved the show, I was so disappointed that they didn't spend more time showing us their wedding? I had to wait through two seasons for them to finally get engaged. Then wham bam thank you ma'am "kiss me before I get cross" and it's over!

Not exactly my style...

Luckily it looks like Lady Hedith, err I mean Edith will be getting married next episode, but considering the source... I don't have high expectations. ;-)

All in all a great weekend - although I wish I had been a little more productive so that this week started off on a better foot. Keep calm!
