Friday kicked off with a trip to the craft beer store to prep for the weekend, and then home for our traditional Friday pizza night. We checked out Ali Wong Baby Cobra, a comedy special on Netflix which was just kinda okay, not hysterical, before ending up in Stars Hollow.
Saturday morning we were up and out early for a friend's wedding in Central Park. What we didn't know was that actually getting there would be damn near impossible due to road closures for a NY marathon. Because the wedding was so small, they actually waited for us at the park entrance before we made our way over to "the spot." It was a lovely, intimate affair, and though I was mildly annoyed at waking up so early on a Saturday, I'm really glad we went.
If you're wondering why the bride is holding an iPad, it's because her daughter is a Marine currently stationed in Okinawa, but through the power of technology, she was able to watch the entire wedding!
After the wedding, we had to drive back to NJ because our other friend had to be back. We hit up Kafe Neo, a local creperie, where I had a STELLAR sriracha and smokey turkey omelet. Oh and on Sunday, I tried avocado toast for the very first time. I'm not sure what took me so long, but it was just as fantastic as everyone else in the world has reported.
On Saturday night, we headed over to our friend's house to help him drink down his liquor stash. This guy is super serious about his drinks- all top shelf/aged/limited edition stuffs, and he makes his own bourbon soaked cherries and tonic. But he's planning to move to Singapore soon for a job opportunity, so he needed some help getting rid of these things, and we were more than happy to oblige. We also watched Stripes (my first time) and the original Ghostbusters.
Oh, also when we were looking for parking for that wedding I mentioned, we spotted Jerry Seinfeld prepping for Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee!
On Sunday, we slept in, tried avocado toast, drank some deck beers and read, had some naps, did some laundry, and Blue made sausage and pepper sammies for dinner before settling into GoT. Did you guys see it? I thought it was pretty lame, but hoping next week's will be better. They ahd to set the stage somehow, I guess.
I also received my Target Beauty Box. So excited to try out some of these new products, particularly the Pixi eye shadows everyone has been talking about. I've never seen it in stores, but the colors are prefect for everyday wear (not that I wear makeup every day, I'm just saying). And the Revitalift, because I'm stubbornly holding out and acting like my face will not age. Ha.
So, how was your weekend?
I almost didn't link up today, because I was feeling kind of the same. The news (and social media) has been heavy and kind of ugly and it seems frivolous to be all, "Omg, what a great book!" But then again, it did make me feel better, so...
ReplyDeleteI'm normally not that into the whole subscription box thing, but I'm eyeballing at least half of the products you got in yours. I have cucumber wipes, but they're the cheaper store brand. :P
I think it's sooo cool you saw Jerry Seinfeld! I still haven't watched any of the Comedians in Cars videos. Or Carpool Karaoke. Am I insane? Hahaha. I just hardly ever watch videos, but I know I need to! I also was like, "Avocado toast? It's just avocado and bread" but once I tried it I was hooked!
ReplyDeleteI love avocado toast - it's so simple, yet so yummy!
ReplyDeleteoh that is so cool her daughter was able to view the wedding thanks to technology. it's amazing. i tried to get my family to do the same, but they would have had to get up at some awful hour to do so, so they settled for photos lol. i'm not a huge fan of subscription boxes but i do want to try the target one because i feel like it would be things i actually use. speaking of, i do use that revitalift stuff. i don't know if i have noticed a difference lol but i like it!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good but busy weekend. I haven't watched GoT yet... but I have heard it was kind of anticlimactic. I should probably catch up before anything gets majorly spoiled.. :P That's so sweet that the bride's daughter was able to watch the wedding. :) I love the fuzzy cat! Our weekend was pretty uneventful. I met up with a girlfriend. KC and I read a lot. Watched The Little Mermaid. Had a game night double date with friends. We made waffles, they were amazing.

Look at all that beer!!! Sounds like you had a good weekend. I have seen a lot of people posting their Target boxes over the last few months and they certainly look fun! I might have to try it out.
ReplyDeleteWe also do the traditional Friday Pizza night! It's probably my favorite night of the week! I couldn't make it through Ali Wong Baby Cobra, but I did love Anjelah Johnson's specials. I don't think I've ever seen Stripes! Was it funny? Jerry Seinfeld?! So awesome.My husband and I have been slowly catching up on GoT, we're only on the second episode of this season, but I'm loving it so far. I'm also holding out that my fave will stay the same. I'm only as old as I feel, right?
ReplyDeleteI love GOT! I cannot believe that there are only 2 more episodes left this season! So crazy. That is so wonderful that your friend's daughter got to watch the wedding. The power of technology is so fantastic. Huge fan of Pixi makeup. I love their foundation primer. It works so well.
ReplyDeleteLook at all that beer...my hubby would be on that real quicklike. He loves trying new craft beers. :)
ReplyDeleteTechnology has downsides but honestly? This is an example of how great it is.
ReplyDeleteI have to know, what time did you have to get up on Saturday?
I watched Ghostbusters not too long ago, it's one of my favorites.
We were just talking about how we haven't had sausage & peppers in forever.
