Recapping... :)

I never did a weekend recap last weekend.. Soo..here's what I've been up to: the random version...:)

...went and watched open practice before the NCAA Tourney here in town... Was so cool to have that here btw! Hoping out of towners liked our city! :)

 ....went out for St. Pat's for an after work beverage and a brat. (Note: Eric ate the brat. I just had the beverage...haha)

 ....went to an adorable little guy's two year birthday party! The birthday boy is Landen, below holding the green ball. Jenny's little guy, Maddox is walking in front. My friends make cute kids. Fact.

 The party was themed "we're having a ball" with the obvious theme of well...balls. :) I said above my friends make cute kids....They also throw adorable parties. :) (Note that they also make ALL boys! :) )

 Brooke holding Ashley's son, Cooper, while her adorable little guy, Parker, plays in the ball pit. :)

 Ashley and Cooper... :) To get him to smile, Ashley taught me to say "Boo" before the photo...haha... Kids are amused by the most random, adorable things!

Fast forward to this past weekend.... 

Went to a wedding shower for one of my favorite people, Mary. :) I loved all the little purple touches-from the food to the decor, to the wine spritzers with little purple flowers in them... So springy, classic, and pretty. :)

 Mary and me! :) We met at the law firm years ago... Along with another friend, we refer to each other as "the family" and/or the "circle of trust." There are funny stories, but I'll spare ya...

I had to dig a little to find the below pic of Mary in my office at the law firm a few years ago... Hilarious! Never fails to make me smile! She came in and sat down on a box of files in my chair...haha...Absolutely awesome. Can't wait for this chick's wedding in less than a month! 

What else... hmm.. Okay, my cell phone broke. (awesome). So that made Saturday extra fun. Details will just bore you. It's working again. Whatever. 

My roommate and I thought we had a mouse. She is terrified of mice apparently. A lot of hilarious drama ensued. She may or may not have purchased a high frequency rodent repelling sound system (????) for her room. I just set some old school traps. Haven't seen the critter, so who knows...

But, we ALSO had issues with our dryer yesterday. We assumed it had something to do with the alleged mouse (I don't know why). Turns out a bird made a nest in the vent. We got rid of that (there were no eggs or anything) and then came home today to find one of these....

 ....in our house...

Good gravy. National Geographic at our house lately. Poor thing was terrified so we got it out. Sad b/c it was prolly looking for its nest. :( Also sad b/c now we can't use the dryer til we're sure it didn't jack it up again. Hells bells! Spring is awesome, but animals need to stay OUTSIDE! (except for Gracie dog. Duh).

Oh and also saw this....

 ...and this....

 ....over the past two weekends. Want my opinion? Both movies were really pretty good. And I didn't think I'd like The Adjustment Bureau at all for some reason. But, I love movies that are about fate, choices, etc. I don't think the preview did it justice b/c the preview didn't really make me want to see it. Other people's opinions and online reviews did. It was well done and thought provoking. Have you seen Sliding Doors (2002)? Another good one about the same type of thing..

Lincoln Lawyer was good stuff too... But can you really go wrong with Matthew as a lawyer? I mean, have you seen A Time to Kill? Anyway, good movie. Good cast. Good stuff.

And, last but not least, Eric and I had dinner at his fav local restaurant, Stonehorse, in Utica Square. :) Why did we go there? Oh... we were kinda celebrating.... b/c he totally got something in the mail. That "something" may have been a certificate making him a licensed one of these...

Woohoo!!! So happy for Eric! The test has been done for a few months, but this made it official!

Throw in a sinus infection, a couple happy hours, some Mexican food (Duh. Have we met?! :), a stolen credit card number (arg),... and that, my friends, is the randomness that I've been up to over the past weekish...

Sending love from the comfort of my sofa whilst wearing my very stylish, grey sweatpants....haha.. :)
