Weekend Updates- Coming Out Of Hibernation

I feel like Mondays are always harder after a really fun, jam-packed weekend. I mean, they're hard after a whole weekend lazing around as well, but it's worse when it's nice weather and you've actually gone out and done things and seen people. This was the first time in a long time that we actually went out and socialized, and I think I can say that I'm officially out of hibernation!

I don't like going out on weeknights other than for dinner, but it was a good friend's birthday on Thursday so out we went. We kept up with tradition and watched Netflix and had pizza on Friday night. I was a little sad that my Tituss wine didn't arrive in time for the Kimmy premiere, but we haven't finished the series yet so there's still time!

 

Saturday morning we were up and out early to go tell off my mailman at the post office (short story here) and drop-off my ThredUp bag. We ran a few other errands and came home to put together Blue's booze shelf. It took about 2 hours to put together something that ultimately took 15 min because the parts were mislabeled. The top pic is the before, her wine table with booze on top; after on the left, the booze shelf and restyled wine table. We actually put a wine painting up too, but I couldn't capture it here.

The rest of the evening was spent catching up on our shows and stuffing our faces. We finally got the grill out and Blue made an awesome London broil.

Sunday was Keebler's 4th birthday. I ordered from KitNipBox and it was so awesome! Lots of toys, hairball treatment supplements, and treats. He was one happy cat!

Of course his fave was the crown, as he is king of the land. 

The rest of the day was spent beer tasting. We met up with our friend Mark and headed to the grand opening of Jersey Girl Brewing Co. Luckily it wasn't too crowded, so we were able to snag a table and enjoy our flights. I didn't think the beer itself was too great, but I love that these guys had a dream and made it happen.

Next up was Jersey Spirits Distillery.  We've been here before so Mark had a gin/vodka/whiskey flight and Blue and I had cocktails. Mark has dabbled in home brewing, and we've been trying to talk him into doing it full time and opening a place like these because he loves doing it and has a great palette, so he was chatting up one of the owners. We finished up at Magnify Brewing right next door. I love the industrial looking space and the mason jar lighting; the whole vibe in there is fantastic. I was a bit disappointed because they were out of about half their menu, but we did get to sample ones we hadn't tried before and I found one to refill my growler with for deck beers.

So, how was your weekend? Did you get out and enjoy that spring-y weather? 

Linking up with Biana.
