Weekend Recap!

Hiya! :) How was the weekend? Hot? Yeah, mine too. Although, we had a freakishly strong storm come through on Saturday evening so that cooled things down (and took out some electricity, buuuut whatevs). The interwebs were all abuzz with things like "RAIN! It's about time!" :) I may have excitedly been one of the posters of said phrase on the twitters and the facebooks actually. Whatever. 

So, I'm behind b/c I haven't blogged about last weekend's girls trip up to Missouri. Blerg. But, I facebooked the pics. Does that count? I think it does.

Anyhoo.. as for this weekend, it was prettttty chillax. :) That's right.. no showers, no float trips, no weddings, no parties, no nothing. :)  I truly love doing all of those things (or I wouldn't do them. obvi <-- I like saying "obvi" even though it's prolly super annoying.), but it's also nice to kick back a little. And Eric was out of town for the weekend, so I opted to take some quality Jackie-time. This weekend was one big date with myself! 

Came home from the gym after work on Friday, poured some wine, settled in for the evening, and watched lotsa eps I'd dvr-ed all week from.... Sharks and wine. Good times, people. :)

The little under-sharks-belly fishes seem a leeetle stage 5 clinger to me...

I had a gift card from my bday for one of these....

 ....so I kicked off Saturday at the spa!

The salon/spa is right around the corner from Anthropologie and, having another gift card from my bday, I wandered in. I spied this awesome dress in the sale section for $89...

I love coral! 

....and I had $50 left on my gift card, so I opted to buy the dress for the rehearsal dinner in LA later this month. It was one of those moments where you try something on and sigh like "I.love.this." and do a little spinny spin in the dressing room. (It looks casual, but it's silky, not cotton). Then... wait for it.. wait for it... The girl at the register told me it had been even MORE discounted to... $49! And it was tax free weekend so I.spent.nothing! 

Don't you love it when stuff like that happens?!

I was in such a good mood at the grocery store immediately afterward that I caught myself singing along to the music playing in the store. LOL!

The weekend got even better b/c Lauren came to visit randomly. :) She booked her ticket from Chicago mid-week last week and was here by Saturday morning! :) Kinda crazy b/c Eric was actually in Chicago with his fam... haha. So, the two of them grabbed a drink on Friday and then she and I were having dinner together on Saturday! 

Today, Lauren, her dad, and me went to see Horrible Bosses.. and um.. it's pretty freaking funny. I mean, it's fairly inappropriate and uses a lot of foul language, so let that be your warning... :)

Throw in some laundry, hanging with Gracie dog, more time at the gym, and that was my weekend. :)

Hope everyone had a good one!
