Happy Saturday!!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend already! I'm playing catch up on my dvr after running some errands...and I'm blogging. (Obviously).

BEST NEWS!! Eric is doing better!!! So I only had to cancel one thing really. Plans had to be a little altered, but it's totally fine! I surprised him with a massage today from M@rilyn Ihloff! YAY! He'd never had one (which really surprises me since his sis is a massage therapist) Anyway, I think he's a believer now. Gawd, I love massages...and am glad he loved his. :) The original plan was to give it to him this morning after his shindig with his friends last night as a little bit of relaxation after an anticipated longer (but fun) night! But, since we canceled the night with his friends, I just drove over there today and surprised him!! I'd told him we were doing something, but didn't tell him what. He was SO funny.. He was like "Um.. is it too strenuous?" (since he'd been sick). I had to fight laughter when I was like "No, you don't need to worry about that..." I was pretty impressed with pulling off the surprise! I'm not giving him his gift til tomorrow though on his real bday! Today was just for fun!

While he was getting rubbed down, I ran some errands and milled around Utica. (I didn't book one for me-both to save cash...but also b/c I'm still a little weird about it after my broken back last year). LOOKIE what I found at Gap!!!!! It was on sale for $15!!! A gold and blue scarf!!! (If you're confused or not from around here, those are TU's colors!!) And yes, I really did immediately put it on!! I can't wait to wear it to a football game! Speaking of, did you see TU's win last night on ES*N?! I fell asleep on the sofa for the first half (oops) but then headed to Blaze's where she had a small group over to watch the second half. Fun stuff! :) My mom actually went down there to the game.. so jealous!
Oh and here are some pics from my (regular job, not UW) co-worker's house the other night from that cookout I went to! She's our event planner at work and an amazzzzzing cook-see spinach artichoke dip as example.
These are actual candles on top of the bottles! How cute, right? :)
She hand painted that design on her wall.. hello awesome....
Had to make some adjustments to dinner stuff tonight, but I think my recovering boyfriend will find something good to eat for his bday dinner at the place I picked!! I love long weekends....*happy sigh* Now, back to Project Runway...xoxo!
