My Bi-Polar Weekend

This weekend was strange. It was like it had multiple personalities. On one hand, it was kinda fun. I got to spend time with some new friends and try new things. B and I also had some great meals and checked off a lot on our wedding to-do list. On the other hand, it sucked. I was pretty much driven mad trying to print our wedding envelopes. And I also found out that someone very important to me may not be able to be at our wedding, which was pretty upsetting.

Friday was my battle with our wedding envelopes. Who knew printing on envelopes would be so difficult!? If I had known better I would have hired a calligrapher or practiced my handwriting a bit more. Unfortunately, I didn't have time for that nonsense. After 4 different attempts at printing and losing my mind (I mean...I might have cried over these stupid envelopes), they finally got printed.

The only reason I tell you that story is to explain the first 2 pictures.

1. My dinner was literally a bottle of wine and spinach dip. That's it. At least there was some antioxidants in there, and some spinach. Right?

2. So...the bottle of wine and the stress may have lead to some bad decisions. For instance, I watched 'Honey'...on purpose. Did you know Jessica Alba can dance? No? Oh, well, that's because she can't. Great casting for a dance movie.

3. Saturday, a friend and I tried out a beer tasting event at a local bar. It was clearly well organized because they served beer in Dixie cup. Nothing better than beer, 1 ounce at a time our of a soggy cup.

4. That night, B and I went out to dinner for Thai. Normally we don't get dessert, but we were intrigued by the sticky rice and mango, which was AMAZING. I know it looks like a big slimy blob, but it was delicious.

5. On our light rail ride back to the apartment, we spotted a Left Behind dvd that was...left behind. I couldn't help but snap a photo of the irony.

6. We spent the rest of Saturday night stuffing envelopes. Oh, it's such an exciting life we lead.

7. Sunday afternoon we went to the newly opened Chuy's, which was pretty much like being back in Texas. Oh Tex Mex, we've missed you.

8. After Chuy's and a trip to the jewelery store to order my wedding band, we made a trip to Costco. And what is a trip to Costco without a $1 cup of fro-yo!?

9. We finally finished the damn invitations, which will be mailed out tomorrow. The sooner the better!


I hope your weekend was better, and by that I mean I hope it didn't resort to you watching Honey!

Also, we are running a giveaway right now for a $100 gift card of your choice!!

  6. Numbers 1-3 are so rough. I'm so sorry. lol

    But I was way amused by the irony of the Left Behind dvd.

    And the envelopes turned out beautiful. And hey, at least they are done now, right?

  7. Yum Chuy's! My husband and I just moved to Charlotte after being in the Houston area for 4 years, so we're ecstatic that Chuy's got here right after we did. We're planning to go this week. Can't wait!
