Hey hey... it's Monday again people! Linking up with Biana again....I was in a great mood until I got to work and people started annoying me. Immediately. It's how you know when you just generally hate your job. But that is not something I need to think about today. So how about a little, as in very little weekend re-cap? I am afraid that in my effort to never spend unnecessary money, eat and drink less, my life has become exceedingly boring. But I am actually doing better with the budgeting and bill paying so apparently boring has it's benefits.
The kids and I went out for sushi Friday night since one of our favorite local spots had rolls 50% off. Seriously, that just makes me want 2 of everything but it was delish!
We followed that up with lazin around and just hanging out at home together. Saturday was football and shopping followed by more football. Olivia and I checked out the new Costco for catering supplies for my tennis match on Sunday. It's been open for two whole weeks but it was still a zoo. But dang it I love that place. I even scored a super cute packable (as in squishes down to nothing) down jacket for $39.99. These are easily over $100 anywhere else I've seen them. Perfect for GA winters and it comes with a little nylon bag so I can throw the whole thing in my tote.
Saturday night I became an official fan of one of the coaches I have never really liked. Mr. Steve Spurrier. Did anyone see the Gamecocks whoop ass on the Bulldogs Saturday night??? Holy balls that was a good game. Now you might think because I live in GA I am a big Dawg fan but, not so much. I always love a game where an underdog comes out and kicks ass, even though it was painful for a lot of my friends. Props to Spurrier... it was good coaching and smart playing!
Sunday it was unseasonably cool here and by that I mean like 30 degrees cooler than the sweat fest we had on Saturday. I had a tennis match that took 3 hours and resulted in a giant "L" for loser. My feet are effing killing me today from all of the running, jumping, stopping and starting. I definitely burned off Saturday's beers! But it was good to get out there and play a competitive match, especially in the cooler temps. See, I don't even look mad.
Sunday evening I came home to a big crock pot full of chicken-y goodness. The first cool fall day warrants a warm meal in the crock pot and my eldest begged for chicken and dumplings and who am I to say no to a simple, easy, comfort food meal? Never.
Did anyone else get a taste of fall weather this weekend?
The sushi on Friday night looked amazing - I didn't have mine this past week so I'm hoping to make up for it this coming weekend!!! The game was really good - tons of people had it on at their tailgates so it was fun to see!! So happy to hear you had a good weekend and I feel your pain of coming into the office on Monday - there is always one person that can just ruin a great weekend!!
ReplyDeletethat sushi looks delish! i havent had sushi in so long. mm chicken and dumplings - i love the crockpot for cooler weather!
ReplyDeleteI am SO loving these cooler temps! Give me all the sweaters and boots!! And omg chicken and dumplings is my favorite thing to have when I'm suffering from a cold...like now....damnit lol. Tastes even better coming from my mom of course haha.
ReplyDeleteSend that Fall weather down this way!!! I'm so excited you have a Costco nearby you. I seriously love that place but not on the weekends.....I don't love it then. I was kinda excited about the SC win also....Steve is still near and dear to my heart ;-)
ReplyDeleteI watched that game too and it was AWESOME. I always root for the underdog too!
ReplyDeleteGreat find on the coat! I heart Costco :)
ReplyDeleteThose chicken and dumplings look good even to this VEGETARIAN! Mmmm! That's some good colder weather comfort food right there!
ReplyDeleteI am one of the few people who does not like chicken & dumplings! Or the crock pot in general.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you guys got some weather releif though!
when we were in orlando a few years back, my husband bought a great down North Face jacket that folds up into a little fanny pack....kinda like those old K-Way jackets! it's light as hell but SO warm (part of the Summit line) for $90. i guess down jackets aren't best sellers in FLA haha!
