Much Needed Lazy Weekend!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!
Mine was... uneventful. Just how I wanted.
I spent most of it like this:


wearing the same old sweat shirt


watching fluff tv

Let's go back to Friday, though. I came home from work and the apartment was completely clean. Chris got home before me and totally straightened the place up- I mean, he went through my junk mail and everything!
Have I mentioned that he's a keeper?

Saturday was spent running some much-needed errands, including a couple kitchen purchases...


Colander that hangs over the sink and a cast iron pan (we've been wanting one of those forever). Yeah, I get really excited over this stuff!!
(both from Kohl's with 20% off coupon.. pretty good deals)

After errands, a migraine knocked me out for a few hours. Chris made me dinner and tea and I loaded up on the advil (I couldn't take any real meds since I'm on-call for work). Finally it went away and I was able to relax the rest of the night and finish a book. ("Somebody to Love" by Kristan Higgins")
I'm pretty sure I've read all of her books... they're fun, light reads and are cheap on the Nook store! (less than $5 each). Has anyone else read any books by Kristan Higgins? 

On Sunday I did pretty much nothing besides some work stuff.
We got pizza and garlic knots from a local pizza place.. so good



Then watched the Bachelorette, of course.
Am I the only one who is happy with Emily's decision?
Not to spoil anything in case you haven't watched yet, but I actually felt this was the most genuine "love story" that I've seen on this show. 
Or maybe I'm just a sap. 
I would have been happy either way, I think.
I also think that Emily and I would be BFFs in real life! She is my favorite.

Of course I am linking up with Sami, Dana, and Leeann for Weekend Update! <3




How was your weekend? :)

  1. Ohmigosh I totally agree about Emily! I love the way she handled the whole situation, and I could just feel love oozing out of the TV last night...if she didn't scoop him up, I would have be so upset. Lazy weekends are the best, I'm glad you got to relax. :)

  4. There is NOTHING WRONG with getting excited about housewares. I remember when I was 21 and living on my own my mom asked me what I wanted for my birthday...and I said a vacuum. Yeah, you know you're getting old when you're lusting after a vacuum cleaner. Relaxing weekends are the best sometimes!

  5. Love that colander over the sink. Kohl's, you say? I'm off to find it asap! And so nice of Chris to clean everything! How sweet.
    But noooo I do not agree with Emily! I was so rooting for her to go the other way!

  11. So....I love that colander. I need one asap. I also think I will have to check out Kristan's books. I love a good, easy, fictional read. They take me away from the crazy world for a bit :) Sorry about your migraine, but atleast you were able to sleep it off.
    Have a great week! <3

    1. that colander is the best.. the one I had before kept tipping over in the sink and I'd lose some of the food down the drain. This one is so much better! Yeah I think you would like the books.. pretty predictable usually but fun:)
