Weekend Recap!

Holy busy/productive weekend! 

This weekend...
* went do dinner with some girl friends
* found some curtains (finally!!)
* found a new sunburst mirror (b/c my DIY project was a total flop, but whatever. I have photos of the flop. They're entertaining. I'll post sometime.)
* took Gracie dog for two long walks
* went on a long overdue and fantastic date night with Eric :)
* saw Hunger Games again (Whatever. Don't judge.)
* found some decorative touches for the house
* went to the grocery store
* cleaned the casa 
* spray painted two attempted DIY projects (TBD). 
* helped Eric with yard work

I thought I'd just do a bullet list instead of ramble.. :) And below are a few pics to go along with the bullets... 

Maria and me at the midnight premiere of Hunger Games on Thursday

Dinner on Friday night with Laura, Kristy, Sara...and Kristy's adorable little guy, Roman!
So, Eric and I got to thinking....and couldn't remember the last time we'd hate a nice date night. Sure, we grab casual Mexican food or attend dinners with friends for birthdays, etc. But, we couldn't remember the last time we'd sat down together at a nice restaurant one-on-one, sipping wine and leisurely enjoying dinner. I honestly think it was before Christmas. Bananas! This year is flying. So, Eric planned a date night for us at The Canebrake, a fabulous restaurant near Ft. Gibson lake. Well, it's actually a little lake resort/retreat, but the restaurant there is pretty fabulous and it's always fun to go somewhere different than the norm.
I heart spray tans. 
Self timed. Obviously. 
I even went and got a fun new dress b/c well...why not. :) I totally needed something bright and cheery (Just ignore me while I rationalize my purchase). The only bummer is the material.. I wish it was a little thicker or nicer, but whatever. It's a fun little cotton dress and will likely come with me on vacation. Yup, you read that right.. Eric and I are close to booking low key beach vacay! Usually, I want to explore and yada yada, but I really just want to plop my arse on a beach and sip cocktails this year.

Oh and check out the curtains and mirror I found this weekend! Curtains are JCP Home and mirror was at Garden Ridge. Hello awesome deals!

Hope you had a good spring weekend, friends!

That dress from Express looks TERRIBLE on the model on the website...but seeing it on you HOLY COW! It's gorgeous! Orange doesn't get enough credit---it's such a fabulous color, no? :)

I am waiting till all the kiddos are back in school and going to see The Hunger games on a week night when there won't be any texting teens/tweens on their cellys so I can actually enjoy the movie and not get annoyed by those around me! :)
