Happy Tuesday and Happy St. Patrick’s Day, friends! I have donned my green (though I feel like my eyes being green should count for something), and I am hoping not to get pinched today. 🙂 I had a super wonderful weekend and I thought it would be the perfect way to bring back my fun “Weekend in Pictures” series. Enjoy!
My weekend kicked off in a delicious way on Friday afternoon – breakfast for lunch! I went out with three coworkers to Nikki’s in Tampa, where I ordered a breakfast sandwich that was delish.
After lunch, my friend (and soon-to-be roomie) looked at two different apartments. We are not planning on moving until late July, so there aren’t any apartments available yet for that time frame, but we still want to start looking so we can get a feel for what’s out there, what we like, pricing, etc. The first apartment we looked at was beautiful, very reasonably priced, and in a great area of Tampa. The other apartment was also in a great area of Tampa (and within walking distance of dozens of restaurants!), but overpriced and very underwhelming (very little storage space, not as updated, etc.) (They wanted $1,700 a month for a two-bedroom. Nope, nope, nope!)
After apartment hunting, I met up with a friend at Starbucks to work on our respective novels. I hadn’t opened my document since August, so, needless to say, it was tough getting back into it. But I managed to write almost 1,100 words, so progress was made. Woo!
The rest of my Friday was spent very lazily! I ordered in a pizza, watched TV, and settled in bed with a good book. Happy Friday to me!
Saturday morning, Dutch woke me up at 8, we went for our morning walk, and then snuggled on the couch to read. Best way to start a Saturday morning, in my opinion!
After a long workout and then spending the early afternoon running errands and cleaning my apartment, I decided to reward myself with a few hours by the pool! It was 83 and sunny on Saturday afternoon, and felt so wonderful to relax outside while gambling on situs slot gacor and get some rays! I suspect lots and lots more pool days are in my near future.
Saturday night, I met up with some friends for laser tag. It was weird at first because I was the, ahem, seventh wheel, and man, you’ve got to be really secure and happy in your singleness to go to an event as the only single person. And I am. But it was also a little difficult. My friends were good at making me feel included and not like the weirdo single person, but it’s hard not to feel a little out of place. I did have fun, even though I still majorly suck at laser tag.
Most of Sunday was spent very lazily! I watched a bunch of TV (finally finished season one of Friday Night Lights and started season two, caught myself up on Gotham and New Girl), did some cleaning around the apartment, read, took Dutch on a long walk, and grocery shopped for the week. It was quite perfect!
My weekend was capped off with some ice cream (I’ve been searching and searching for this flavor ever since Jimmy Fallon revealed it on The Tonight Show a few weeks ago – it is so damn good!), painting my nails, and watching the first three episodes of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (I. love. this. show.)
All in all, a spectacularly wonderful weekend! It was the perfect mix of downtime, puppy snuggles, and hanging out with friends. 🙂
How was your weekend? Favorite Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor (I’m partial to Half-Baked, but The Tonight Dough is a close second!)
Looks like you did have an awesome weekend! That ice cream sounds so good! I couldn’t have it because of my gluten intolerance but I would be all over that if I could have it (well, after Lent… I gave up sweets for Lent…).
My weekend was really great, too. The weather was beautiful so I got lots of fresh air and I had a good balance of being social and relaxing.
Ahhhh what a perfect weekend! I’m very jealous of your 83 degrees. So exciting to be apartment hunting! When I saw your Tonight Dough on IG I immediately showed my sister who has been searching high and low for it. I think Pete is going to see if the dairy manager in his store can special order it haha. I am so boring – plain old vanilla is my favorite ice cream flavor. I also like mint chocolate chip but I tend to go with vanilla and then spice it up with toppings – peanut butter melted on top for the win!
I thought the Tonight Dough flavor was a joke, didn’t realize it’s legit. I’ll have to get some when Lent is over! YUM.
Love that you were able to spend time by the pool! I can’t wait for those kinds of days around here. Pool is opening in May at my dad’s so that’s a good start to the summer!
When I had a boyfriend who never went anywhere with me, I was often the 5th or 7th wheel and I always made a joke of it. Especially when the bill came and the server would pair off tickets and when the server got to me, I’d say something about HOW IT’S JUST ME THANKS!!! Also when we’d get desserts and everyone is sharing, I’d dramatically look around to see if anyone wanted to share with me.
It was either that or go home crying. haha.
My weekend was pretty awesome! Kyle has been busy for the past few weekends in a row with his guy friends visiting and working, so we finally got to spend some time together. The weather slowly declined (Sunny & warm Friday, sunny but CRAZY windy Saturday, cloudy & rain/snow Sunday), but it was productive and just great to be together.
I think my favourite B&J’s flavour has got to be Half Baked as well. I haven’t looked in the ice cream case lately (for my own good), so I don’t even know if we have Jimmy Fallon’s flavour available in Canada. It sounds amazing though!!
I just finished season two of FNL this weekend (thanks cold for laying me up on the couch so I watched like 9 episodes in one weekend!) and it was soooo good. I love that show so much!
Your weekend sounds awesome… both relaxing AND fun!
Oh man, I better tell Jerry about that ice cream flavor (he loves peanut butter), though he probably already knows. He is constantly researching all the new Ben and Jerry’s flavors online, then we are always hunting around the stores for them. Lol.
Oooh, I’ve been wanting to watch the Unbreakable show, so I’m glad to hear it’s a good one. 🙂
Hope your week is awesome!
Did you know there’s a Half Baked PEANUT BUTTER version? I saw someone post it on Instagram and I HAVE to find it. The only thing I can think that would make Half Baked better is peanut butter.
How’s Dutch doing?
I can still tell you about my weekend even though we’re only a day and a half away from the next one, yes? Ha!
Love all the pics – and omg I’m with you on laser tag I suck so bad at it, but it’s fun! Glad you got some good downtime last weekend and started looking at apartments – squee!!!
Last weekend was CRAZY for me, but I comforted myself with the knowledge that that will probably be the last bit of craziness until Lemon arrives. I ran errands all over, we had maternity pics (on the blog now!), brunch with friends, put finishing touches on Lemon’s room, laundry, seriously ALL the things. This weekend my cousin is coming over to help with some baking, and I might have a video chat. Much calmer. 🙂
