Weekend Recap!

Hi peeps! So, this was a good weekend-a chill weekend. :)

Friday-NEW MOON! We got there an hour or more early (we already had tix) and we still had to stand in a line that made Kristy's husband nervous. haha..And it was FULL of tweens. Kristy's quote "Why does the line smell like high school gym class?" haha.. However, I did have a very sweet convo in the restroom line with a 10 year old girl who told me how excited she was for the movie and how her sister was taking her to see it, etc... *awwww*

Okay, so the concession story... We literally all went home from work, changed, and then met at the theater, so we hadn't eaten. Sara and I were STARVING and once we got our place in line, we headed to get some hot dogs. I think we may have given the concession teen worker a coronary. First of all, we paid for all our stuff...including an extra buck for Edward cups...and also made him actually go dig out some Edward cups b/c we refused to take Bella ones. Yes, we're in our mid-late 20s. Yeah. So, he already hated us...and then they ran out of hot dogs. They offered nachos and I was like "great!" Sara, not so much. So, the kid was pretty confused and really stressed and finally Sara made him promise he'd give us hot dogs when they got some more since she paid for them. (Note-we weren't rude at all. The guy was just seriously overwhelmed by all the mob at the counter, I think) The whole thing was hilarious. And as we left the mob line, Sara adds "Gawd, I need a xanax."

Fat kid Jackie is holding our nachos AND sour patch kids *under my arm* sooo.. I made us take a second shot...haha.. (ps these were taken at our place in LINE. nuts).

New Moon review: It was awesome. Duh. BUT, while most people didn't LOVE this book, I was okay with it b/c I'd been warned about the whole Edward being gone thing before I read it. Anyway, I was disappointed in some of the parts they changed and cut short...like the motorcycle rebuilding. I LOVED that part of the book and they didn't give it enough time in the movie. But, overall, the book was a TON of Bella's thoughts so they likely had issues portraying that in the movie and I was very pleased with the result. And I might see it again. Might. Definitely buying it. :) And if I hadn't read the books, I'd be team Jacob. I'll admit that.

Saturday, I had the BEST day with Maureen! We went to lunch at Queenies (one of my favs) and then proceeded to walk around Utica Sq, shop a little, chat, etc then headed to Target for some more shopping. We should have taken a photo! Arg. Well.. I did take ONE phone photo modeling a head lamp at Restoration Hardware, but it was meant to be funny..and it got me a couple bad looks from Prissy McPriss whining to her hubby and mom about wanting the leather sofa in the store and then huffing and pouting a little when apparently they said no (For reals). It was a head lamp. At Restoration Hardware. It was funny, prissy girl. But seriously.. we had a great day. :) I also got stuff to make Eric some good luck on the CPA treats! I stole these from Lauren at Dreams Take Flight! I substituted peanut m&ms b/c Eric loves em. Seriously, SO EASY and SO YUMMY! Thanks, Lauren for the fun idea!

I bagged them in a little snowman bag for him, too! (I may have made extra here for myself.. mmm..) Ya'll, I am SO ready for him to be done with the CPA. I miss his face. :( hah... Lame? I know. Tuesday, the first section will be over for him! YAY!
Saturday night, I was planning on staying in.. til I realized some of my girl friends were in the same.mood.. Kinda wanting to have a glass of vino, but not go overboard and not spend a ton and not be overly social. It ended up being a really great night at Sonoma, a local restaurant and wine bar! Lots of laughs-a shared pizza, and this cute photo! And I was home by 11:00-fabulous!
Today, I decided to do a bit of xmas shopping before the insanity next weekend. I didn't get very far, BUT I also wanted to check out B and BW's new fragrance, Twilight W00ds. And I ended up loving it! Get this... with the sale they had today, I got SIX full sized items for 23 bucks. So got mom some stuff and got myself some Twilight Woods.

I'm looking really forward to doing a thankful post later this week b/c there are so many reasons I feel so very blessed.... I hope you all had a great weekend and are looking forward to a fabulous holiday, shorter work week, and time with friends and/or family. :)
