Weekend Recap

This weekend just flew by! I cannot believe it's Monday already. Quentin and I had date night on Friday evening and had dinner with our friends, Chris and Heather at Lone Star. I don't know why we don't make it a point to hang out with them more often. I'm putting that on my to-do list though! After dinner Quentin and I went to see Contraband with Mark Wahlberg. I'm a sucker for an action flick and Mark W. so it totally lived up to my expectations.

Saturday I went to celebrate my sweet friend, Courtney at her baby shower. I am so thrilled for her. Both of my closest friends from college (both named Courtney) are expecting baby girls. This Courtney is expecting hers in March, and the other at the end of this month. I don't get to see Courtney very often since she moved to Bloomington, IN. It was so good to catch up with her.

After the shower I went on a mission to find burnt orange colored skinny jeans. I don't know why I have gotten fixated on finding jeans in this exact color, but I have like 3 tops that I think would be just perfect for burnt orange jeans. You would think this would not be a difficult item to find, considering colored jeans are all the rage. No. I found bright orange, bright blue, purple, everything but burnt orange! I finally decided to go to TJ Maxx as a last ditch effort. I love TJ's, but I kind of hate shopping for clothes there. Too much digging. But,. I had the time and I figured colored jeans would be easy to spot on a crowded rack. Success! Well, sort of. They are really probably one size too small, but I'm banking on them stretching out a bit. haha OR, dropping another 4-5lbs before they're out of season. $19.99, they'll do.

Speaking of dropping lbs. I have lost one more pound since last week. I was really hoping to keep it at a steady 2lbs per week, but I'll take it! I was a little bit bad last week. I caved and had french fries at work as well as ice cream another day, and just wasn't overly careful about my calories. Back on the wagon this week. I'm making my weigh-in days on Mondays now, so hopefully I'll have another 2lbs down to report on my birthday next Monday!

I hope everyone had a fantastic week! I am looking forward to the weekend already. I'll be celebrating my birthday at Global Gourmet with a few close friends. It's my favorite place for dinner and drinks. That will surely be my cheat meal, I cannot resist their spinach and artichoke dip. Yum!
