Weekend Recap!

Thunder's crashing outside as I type this and it reminds me of spring.. *happy sigh* I don't love living in "tornado alley" but I do love the sounds of a good thunderstorm as I drift into dreamland in the spring and summer... :) That said, if it's still storming in the morning when I have to leave for work, my feelings shift a little...haha.. 

How was the weekend, friends?! Mine was glorious! Seriously.. that sounds cheesy, but it was pretty dang good. And the best part... I didn't really do much of anything. :) Somehow, last week, I managed to do something every single night... I dunno if I had spring fever or what, but week's end, I was like "Who am I and why haven't I been home all week?!" 

Anyhoo... Friday night, Eric and I were both completely UN-socially obligated and loving it! We kicked off the weekend with some Mexican food (duh). 

Makes me want some even right now... mmmmm.... (I didn't take this photo)

Hung out and then called it a pretty early night, which was good b/c we were both wiped out! Saturday, I headed for a long, leisurely walk with the pup and Eric headed out on a bike ride (he cycles). I've kinda wanted to get into cycling, but it's kinda an expensive thing to just try unless you're sure you like it. Those bikes are legit...and $$. If you cycle, opinions welcome. :) 

I'd been REALLY wanting to go thrift store/vintage store shopping. Eric was game to come with, so off we went! Wait... no.. rewind... We went and got Mexican food and then off we went. Yes, you read that correctly. Mexican on Friday night and then again for lunch on Saturday. Whatever. Don't judge me. MMmmmmm guacamole.... Admittedly, Eric is kinda awesome at the vintage store shopping. I walk in and feel overwhelmed. He walks in and starts perusing things and can end up with some random-awesome shirt for himself that I would have totally missed.. So, I was glad I talked him into coming..

He talked me out of a dress that I thought was retro-AWESOME! In retroSPECT, though, I probably would have never worn it and I'm rather glad he talked me out of it... (think blue, long sleeve and polka dot). Well, he didn't "talk" me out of it, but the look on his face did the talking...haha.. But, I did find an awesome purple velvet blazer that I am eagerly taking to get dry cleaned...even though I can't wear it til next fall... :)

After our vintage/thrift adventures, I went to Michael's to get some stuff to make our casa springtastic and ran some other errands, then grabbed some vino with a girl friend over an early dinner.  :)

Reconvened with Eric later and rented Unstoppable on his apple tv.... 

I dug it... Good movie based somewhat on a true story about a runaway, unmanned train carrying toxic chemicals. About an hour and a half. Good actors. Lotsa action. Not gory. Jackie approves. *pretending to stamp approval*  Still wanna see 127 Hours and Burlesque.. Seen either one? Thoughts?

Today, had breakfast with Eric at our fav breakfast spot and then I went to the mall and tried on a zillion things a few items... :) A rarity for me... I'm usually the girl that HATES to try stuff on unless I really, really want it. I didn't really buy much- I'm saving the moolah! (giving self kudos). Got a cute dress that was on major cant-pass-up-sale for some spring/summer weddings coming up. I think I just wanted a "Jackie day." I shopped at my own leisurely pace, tried stuff on, went to the grocery store, cleaned the house, etc... :)

Alright, loves, I'm off to finish downloading some music to the ipod for some working out this week! Quick embarassing story... I worked out two weeks ago with my ipod at the gym. Right. I've been back to a couple classes, but didn't need my ipod for those. Anyway, dawned on me this week that I didn't have the dang thing. I thought I'd left it a few places...and then realized I hadn't! I called the gym and they had it (PHEW!) and the girl was so nice...but she said "We were wondering.. It's been here a couple weeks!" *head hung in shame* I wanted to say "I've been here! Just in the classes! Promise!" But, it was fruitless...haha... We had a good laugh about it as she handed it over. :) Sheesh.

Hope ya'll had a good weekend! Hooray for sunshine a little longer into the evenings! :)
