{Weekend At A Glance}

Morning Peeps! I hope everyone had a great weekend and happy Easter. Mine was absolutely fantastic and here's a little glimpse:

We started the weekend off on Thursday with a pitcher full of margaritas at one of my favorite restaurants, Dos Taquitos. They make the absolute best margaritas and steak tacos - yum!!!

Friday was a day full of shopping, and my parents definitely did some damage. I on the other hand tried to keep control and found a couple of spring tops that I was in desperate need of. I have one more that I need to go and grab from Anthro this week - I should have just got it like my mom said... Friday evening we went out for crab legs - so delicious!

Saturday we went to the flea market, out for burgers at Chuck's, and then more shopping Later that evening we got some pizzas and brought them home and dyed eggs, and my mom decorated the table for dinner the next day!

Sunday we got up and my parents got me an Easter basket - and for the first time I surprised them both with a basket. They were really really surprised and loved them! We then went out to brunch at the NC Art Museum, walked around the museum, and then spent the rest of the day at home. My dad helped build me a new box spring {it's fabulous as the old one was very squeaky} and we did a lot of cleaning out closets and getting rid of a bunch of junk. Finally, we ate dinner at home and sat on the balcony enjoying the weather {and no bugs}.

Later this morning my parents are off to Asheville for a few days, and then will be traveling back to Ohio. We had such a wonderful weekend, and I must admit I loved having them all to myself - although I do wish my sisters would have been here. I adore my family!

Morning Peeps! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was great and here's a little glimpse:

1 - I can never pass up an invitation for burgers and fries at Chuck's! I always get the Bear in Heaven 'little chuck" and I tried for the first time the malt vinegar aioli and I just about passed out - soooo good.

2 - I went to see Hunger Games and is was all I had hoped for and more. I can't believe we have to wait another year and a half before Catching Fire comes out - but if it's anything like Hunger Games, then it will be worth the wait. PS. How cute was Rue? I just love her...

3 - So while I was supposed to be shopping for tops this weekend, I found these gray leopard print jeans and the next thing I knew - I had a bag in my hand, with the jeans inside, walking out the store. I'm not sure if I'm going to keep them - but I kinda love em. Pants was always something I had a problem buying before, but now that I'm a couple sizes down - pants seem easy to come by - which is a good thing, except as I'm continuing to lose weight I don't need to buy a lot of bottoms that eventually I won't be able to wear in a couple of months....the joys and the pains!

4 - Can I just you that these vanilla wafers are some of the best cookies I've had in a really long time. Back in the day I would spread some Nutella on them and go to town - but now, I portion them out in baggies and allow myself 5 {3 points +} every so often. Trust me - go and get them!

How was your weekend?

{Weekend At A Glance}

Morning! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was fantastic and here's a little glimpse:

1. Shoes were not on the agenda for this weekend, but when I walked into Cole Haan and saw these shoes, I kind of fell hard for them and after trying them on and feeling the Nike Air technology along with the memory foam padding, all I could do was walk over to the counter and pull out the card. Yes they are uber bright and I love them! Oh - how do you like the nail polish?

2. This skirt was definitely in the plan. I saw it a week or so ago on Pinterest, and then later in the week my sister emailed me and told me I should purchase it. I took her confirmation as a sign that this skirt needed to be mine - so with a gift card that's been burning a hole in my pocket, I purchased it. I plan to style it a few different ways with pieces I already have in my closet- a chambray shirt, a vintage gray tee with brown leather belt, a white and orange boat-neck top, or once it gets warmer a simple white tank...

3. The girls and I went to Beasley's for dinner to indulge in a little fried chicken and the most amazing macaroni and cheese (thank God for my extra 49 WW points) and a couple glasses of wine.

4. Yesterday (and Saturday night) were the coldest days here in Raleigh this winter. The high was 24 with a wind chill of 12. Lucky me, no matter the weather - the puppy still has to go out - so I bundled up and braved several walks. At least the sun was shining!

So was your weekend? What did you do?Anything exciting to report?
