Weekend Recap!

Hey everyone, I'm still trying to figure out the weigh-in posts vs the weekend ones. If I did my weigh-ins on Wednesdays or something that rhymed, it would make this all a lot easier.

Friday night, me and all the cool kids went to the gym. I needed to get a run in to help combat the Thursday's indiscretions and the pie tastings of day. For the pie-bake off I made a blueberry sour cream pie and and a cream pie with meringue on top. I'd never made a cream pie before so I had to cut in and make sure it set properly. (It did)

I called Kevin before I left and asked him if he'd heard of the new Pokemon Go game. He had not, I explained it, and a few minutes later, I got this picture.

Apparently the other variations of Poke Your Mom were already taken.

Everyone at work was playing and I downloaded the game and yea, a lot of Pokemon searching happened this weekend. 

I got up Saturday morning and went to my 8am Jenny Craig appointment. Every week Kev asks me why I don't let myself sleep in, and every week I figure that it's better to get up and get it over with before the day starts. I wake up, get ready, they to go to the bathroom as many times as possible (you know you do too), don't eat or drink anything and drive to the center. 

I texted Kevin the results of my weigh-in and he asked me to get a bagel sandwich.

I found this bat thing in there. And so it began...

Just like most Saturdays, I headed to 1010 Body Pump class after having my breakfast. Thankfully this week I didn't hurt myself. Don't ask how, but last week I dropped a weight on my right boob. Just don't ask...

It was a good class, the really, really annoying old dude wasn't there this week. He always complains that people don't say hi to him and he argues with the instructor. A pure gem that fellow is.

I went home and showered, had my afternoon snack and soon it was time for Kev and I to head to pool. It wasn't oppressively hot Saturday, which was nice.

But first, we stopped, well, I stopped to get lunch and bring it to the pool. 

I'm really not a big fan of the pool, but Kev wanted to go and we had a lovely time. I got a little bit of sun and got sweaty again. I listened to a podcast and it was lovely. 

After the pool, we sat around a while before heading to dinner. We again went to Vin Rouge in Durham. Vin Roue is always a favorite of mine, but we don't make it to Durham all that often. But for some reason, over the last 11 weeks of weigh-ins, we've been there 3 times. I mean, I'm not complaining, I eat the same thing every time and I love it.

Steak Tartare, Frites and a Cosmo. Note Kev's dish of cheesy potatoes.

It was a really nice night and Kev wanted to go take a walk down 9th street in Durham and look for dessert. Let me tell you, there are all sorts of Pokestops on 9th Street. We might have caught a few Pokemon after dinner.

Kev wasn't thrilled with any of the choices, so we headed downtown Durham to Revolution instead. I haven't been there in a few years and I seem to recall there being a lot more people there on a Saturday night. This night, not so much. It was kinda sad. At least Kev's apple tart was good.

I had a tea and caught a Weedle on the table.


After dessert, we wandered around looking for more Pokemon. Before you laugh, we saw at least 7 other people doing the same thing. 

Sunday morning dawned bright and early, and I did my usual thing of laundry, cleaning the kitchen, eating my JC Breakfast Scramble and getting groceries. 

After I got back from getting groceries, I went to the gym. I did 20 minutes on the treadmill and then I went to Body Flow for some yoga.

I got home, showered and now it's time to do some blogging. A pretty uneventful Sunday. Nice and peaceful.

Kevin is watching Ocean's 12 and they keep talking about the master thief, Lamarque I've been singing along Les Mis style for the last 30 minutes. Thankfully Kev loves me.

Lamarque is ill and fading fast
won't leas the week out, so they say
with all the anger in the land, how long before the judgement day?

He finished the lyrics.

Have you downloaded the Pokemon Go app yet??

Scenes from the Weekend

How was your weekend? I swear they go by faster and faster. I think I just need one 3 day weekend or 4 day... just a little extra break would be awesome.

Everything is picking back up again, move in at NC State was over the weekend and today starts Spririt Week, I swear they just went home for the summer. I remember having to head back to school earlier than most, because every chapter has Spirit week and recruitment practice the week before the rest of the students come back. I swear it wasn't this stinking early. Maybe I'm just getting old and my memory is failing me.
Cleo isn't amused.

Friday night we started off with a trip to Margeaux's. We hadn't been there in a while and decided to go back. After work I stopped to get my nails done and got home later than usual. The nail place I've been auditioning, meh, I'm going to keep looking. I need you to do a good job on my raggedy cuticles and to be able to do a good job painting with dark polish. If you can't do that, you can't be my nail guy.

Anywho, I apparently didn't take any pictures of my food (I had salmon) or my cosmo, which of course I had one. Afterwards we went to Yogurt Mountain and I ate the toppings off my fro-yo and saved the rest for later.

Saturday Kev and I needed to get some much needed purging done. If we have any hope of selling this house we have to get rid of some of our crap. Namely all the crap that we brought from our last house and haven't used since we moved here. 

I cleaned out a TON of clothes, re-organized my dresser, the closet and all the cabinets in the bathroom. There were a lot of things....

Saturday night we headed to the Blue Note in Durham where there was an accapella shin-dig. 7 or 8 groups were there, Kev's being one of them, and they were all singing 4 songs apiece. It was a nice event, don't get me wrong, but the venue left much to be desired. They didn't have nearly enough tables in the main area to accommodate all of the people and it was worse than standing room only. We had our names in for a table over an hour before and when they finally called us, the only space they had was in a strange side room. Oh, and the owner / manager was a giant douche. While I was asking Kev if sitting in the back was OK, he tried to give our table away and I kinda got into it with him. Yea, not a fan. The groups did a good job and everyone had a good time, the owner just really put a bad taste in my mouth.

Thankfully we didn't eat there. Instead we went to Vin Rouge, home of the delicious steak tartare. Nom nom nom....


We took a good selfie too.


On another note. my front camera has been super blurry recently.I need to figure out what's up with that. 

Sunday morning came and I headed out for my usual grocery shopping, 

I did go to a 3pm Pump class at the gym. It went something like this...
Me: Oh, my hip has been bothering me, I should lower my squat weight. Oh, that lady, who I've never seen before, and never will again, has more weight than me. I guess I could use my regular weights. This is why I have issues....

That's my weekend, tell me you did something awesome!
