San Diego Weekend



This past weekend was my first weekend off in I don't even know how long. Luckily, I was able to request it off for our friend Melissa's baby shower. It was also our other friend Lauren's birthday, so we decided to celebrate them both during our time down there. The word of the weekend was "overindulgence". We drank too many mimosas (OJ for Melissa) and stuffed ourselves on all the delicious food we ended up in front of. It was such a great time!

Hope you had a good 3-day weekend!

Baking Cookies






A jumbo-sized roll of pillsbury chocolate chip cookie dough has endless possibilities for me. So far with this batch, I've had cookies over ice cream for dessert, and dunked them in coffee for breakfast. And next, I'm thinking of making a yummy chipwich as an afternoon snack!

Pisces Sushi





To break up the monotony of our Saturday, Anthony and I decided to go out for a nice sushi dinner. We wanted to try some place new, and Pisces had gotten great reviews online. When we arrived, we found that it was literally a hole in the wall restaurant with only one place to sit inside, but the seats were free so we decided to stay and eat there. I think they were more used to take-out orders instead of actual in-house diners, so the service was pretty slow...however, the food was good and cheap, and the owners were super friendly, so we couldn't really complain! Plus, trying out new places to eat is always fun :)

Lately...




I've been feeling so pressed for time lately. Working two day jobs again is consuming my life lol. I consider this both a good and a bad thing. On the one hand, I'm busy busy busy, and that makes my days fly by! On the other hand, it does just that- makes my days fly by. I feel like I haven't really had the time to do the things I really want to do. Those being: spending time with Anthony, crocheting, reading, etc.

Hopefully I will fall into a nice groove again soon. In the meantime, please bear with the sporadic posts as I try to figure out a good balance. Happy Friday!

Baby Avocado Plant




A while back I had started trying to make an avocado seed sprout, and recently, it's really been growing rapidly! It's so fun opening the blinds every morning and seeing how much taller it is than the day before :) Grow little seed, grow!

My Weekend




This weekend, I worked a lot. Once I got off though, our time was spent assembling newly purchased furniture, and going to the movies. We saw The Avengers, which turned out to be better than I was expecting! On Sunday, Rock & Brews was a destination for several family gatherings, and it was really nice getting to see all the moms being celebrated :)

Hope you all had a great Mother's Day weekend!

Weekend




This weekend, I will be working at my new part-time job at Rock & Brews. Working weekends is relatively new to me, but it's super close to home, and is a really fun place to work at, so I don't mind it too much. The only thing that sucks is that I won't be able to travel up to Santa Barbara on Sunday for Mother's Day :-/ (Be on the lookout for a package in the mail though Mom!)

Hope you all have a good one!
