Weekend Recap

It was a chill weekend with Hubby D, one that didn't include any 'set' plans or outings.  I wish every weekend could be as laid back as this was. 

Saturday was rainy, all.day.rainy.  The rain didn't stop until the sun went down, but we braved the morning rain and got a bit of errands out of the way: the usual Target for necessities, Starbucks fuel, and stopped at Joann's Crafts for a few things.  We remained home for the rest of the day and relaxed.  D watched movies and I browsed online, and pinned on Pinterest (I'm a bit late to board the boat when it comes to Pinterest, but I'm quite addicted).  He made the most delicious blueberry muffins for us, and boy did we mack them!  He made sure to smother on extra butter for me! 

Yum.

Sunday was just as chill.  We started off at our usge Coffee Bean stop and it was unusally slow and quiet, a nice start to the day.  D ordered a new holiday ice blended flavor, English Toffee.  Next weekend I'm sooooo ordering that one with extra caramel, mmmmm.  We then drove home (took the long route to scope out any new real estate signs), kind of our new 'thing'.  We then decided to head to OB for a bit of antique store browsing on the boulevard, we found a nice addition in the perfect color:

It was a makeup-free, ratty hair kinda day, but in this hippie town, I never have to worry much about the primping.  We then decided to take a stroll on the pier, a perfect clear day after the stormy day before.

This seagull was being stalked by my camera, until I got too close and it flew away.

I asked it to please not squirt on my head.

Ratty Hair.

Surfers are like honey badgers, they don't give a f*$! that it just rained and the storm water

is polluting the waves they're riding, they just think they're bada$$

Actually, after a while I sort of wished I was in that water.  I wore my Uggs today and it was WAY to warm for them, I was sweating nastily.  We then headed over to Pizza Port, the single reason we continue to go to OB, for the best pizza ever (Nicole, you can confirm this as true)!  With full bellies, we headed home for more relaxation, time to paint my nails a new grey color I picked up, and a bit more pinning.

How was your weekend?



Fall is Almost Here

Fall is such an awesome time of year- it's when we break out some different decor in our home, long sleeves can finally be worn (maybe a few times here in San Diego), and I look forward to going to Disneyland with hubs in October when the park is transformed into pumpkin mania (yes, as grown adults with no kids yet, we enjoy the D-land).  It's also the time of year I have to watch the food consumption, as all the baked goodies seem to call my name- more like chant my name.  This year, I'm determined to be good, starting now.

But last weekend was a no-holds-back type of weekend.  D and I went to our fave- Pizza Port, and macked some pizza and beer buddies, with extra ranch of course.  Sometimes there's nothing better than eating the most amazing food off of paper plates!  D allowed me to wear his flannel (by the way, I need to buy my own) so that I could get the full Fall vibe effect going on and didn't care one bit that I hardly put effort into getting ready with a huge lack of makeup or hair styled.  Hey, it happens.

And even though I've now vowed to be good when it comes to sweets, I found this awesome recipe yesterday for cupcakes and these will be made in our home- hands down- for sure!!!

Time Flies- Sort of

Wow, ok this week has gone where?  It's been a bit crazy and I've got a surprise up my sleeve this weekend so I've been super busy preparing and Etsy has been off the hook- it was a light posting week for sure.  I hope to be back up, full force ahead next week to share all the details and some exciting news about S&S.  Have a wonderful weekend and awesome Friday. 

If I weren't crazy busy and I owned a VW bus, crusin around the coast this weekend, making a stop at Pizza Port, and hanging out with hubs would be top notch in my book.  Wishful thinking.
