Valentine's Weekend Recap!

First things first.. THANK YOU for entering my Apothica giveaway (one post down from this one). I'll keep linking back to it to give people a chance to enter and then the winner will be drawn the weekend of the 25th! 

How was your weekend, peeps?! Mine was good stuff! My weekend kinda kicked off on Thursday, even though I had to work on Friday. Had a fabulous girls night with some friends. A group of us try to get together regularly and rotate houses. We all bring food stuff for dinner, wine, etc. Every single time, we're convinced we have too many bottles of wine...until we run out that is...haha.. I am SO glad we have girls nights b/c they kinda rock my world. Just saying. We also taught Jenny's almost two year old son that wine is called "Mommy's juice." Awesome? Yeah, I think so.  

Friday night, Eric and I had a trivia night at our alma mater for a business college thing. Since we work for the same company...and both went to TU....we got invited to represent our company at the event, with some other folks. Our table KILLED it (b/c duh...we're smart...er... or just decent at trivia). :) Then, Eric and I headed to a local sushi place, Yokozuna for some wasabi, sesame, and vino. Good times! We hadn't really had a lot of one on one time since before the snow hit (the word "snow" still makes me scowl a little...haha), so just chilling together was really fun. :)

Saturday, we woke up and...wait for it....wait for it... ended up watching episode after episode... of Battlestar Galactica ...haha! I woke up and he was watching season 1. I made fun of him, but about 10 minutes in, I was kinda intrigued. I think we're 4 eps from the end of season 1 by the end of the weekend so yeah... we're super cool kids. Whatever. 

Saturday night, we headed to a new place for dinner to celebrate Valentines Day! :) I'm one of those people who thinks Valentines Day is a bit overrated thanks to Hallm@rk, etc, but I still want to do something to acknowledge it. Anyhoo, rather than fight the crowds on Monday aka a work night, we opted to go out Saturday to Go West, a fabulous new local place. :) 

We'd heard great things about the eclectic modern, yet rustic place with excellent service and food...and it definitely didn't disappoint! 

I didn't take any pics at dinner, but decided to steal a pic from the web and document where we sat... b/c you don't care, but this is my blog so I'm sharing it anyway haha... :) 

Great food, including an especially great dessert that was a doughnut + creme brulee something. It just made my mouth water to think about.... Mmmmmmm!!! Here we are before dinner! Oh, and I got bangs last week. Random, I know. I needed a change. :)

I have to tell ya'll I was pumped that the snow was disappearing b/c I definitely broke out these babies for our V-day dinner! Got em last weekend for 75% off! Holy wow! Twenty Dollah... yeah-yuh! :) 

A pretty fabulous weekend! Oooh and I almost forgot to tell you what Eric got me for Valentine's Day! It's just kinda the best gift ever...and I'm not joking. I think he thinks I'm feigning my excitement, but I'm so not... He got me.... REMOTE START for my car!! He has it on his and I completely lust after it. I mean, the car is already running and WARM by the time we get in it in the winter. And in the summer, it's a cool air conditioned ride by the time we even get in! I love me some flowers, but this is WAY better than roses and will bring a smile to my face much, much longer...haha! Oh, and he got me chocolate! But, we're going to pretend like he didn't b/c it may or may not already be gone. *head hung in chocolate shame*

How am I spending my actual Valentines Day? With girl friends and all of the below....

Blair and Chuck (Gossip Girl)

 Happy Valentines Day, everyone!
