This weekend has been nice and low key, just like I like my weekends to be. Friday, I left work a little early to find a dress for Suzanne's wedding rehearsal and dinner next week. I'm lucky enough to be one of her chosen bridesmaid's and I can't wait to celebrate with her and Pete! I also got a killer salad at Whole Foods and a side of seaweed salad (I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I especially love WF's seaweed salad because they don't put any Yellow or Red Dye in it).
Friday evening, my friend Andi and I went to our new favorite class at the gym, Body Pump, in efforts to regain our summer bodies for the fancy vacations we're both planning (this time independent of each other - with boys! Real boys!). Afterward, Scott and I met up with his buddy and went to see Hot Tub Time Machine over at Richmond's Bowtie Theater on Boulevard. We're big fans of that place. Nice not to have to drive to the suburbs for movies anymore, for sure. But I digress.. I really enjoyed the movie. It was a little more touchy-feely than I had expected, but the funny parts were super laugh-out-loud funny. I'd recommend.
We went over to Carytown to Babe's to see my friend Susan's new band Girls Night Out play. They were fantastic and they seem like they have a blast playing together. I can't gush enough about how talented a singer/guitarist Susan is. We went to college together in the music department at VCU and I always admired that she was so good at both guitar and vocals. I certainly don't have that ability..
Yesterday, I had a bridal shower for my good friend Alice, so I headed out to Glen Allen and got very lost in the suburbs before finally landing at her future sister-in-law's house. The shower was beautiful and Alice had her "perma-grin" on, as she called it. She's so excited! And it's totally infectious!
A few snaps from the shin-dig.
Alice's sister-in-law-to-be made all the table decorations and flower arrangements and a wonderful friend of hers made all the food. The house was nothing to sneeze at either. I think my whole house and Scott's combined could have fit in the downstairs of it! I'm super jealous of the natural light they have, most of all.
The beautiful bride!
So sweet!After the shower, Andi and I played Ladder Golf in my yard with wine for awhile. New favorite yard game!
Today has been a lovely day of relaxing with Scott and getting a few things done. He's been nice enough to do a little (okay, a whooooolllle bunch) work on my terrible car. Today's phrase of the day, brought to you by Mazda, is "I hate working on this piece of s*** car, but I love you!" Nice. Everyone needs to be loved! I definitely owe him on this one. And I'm putting it here in writing because you can all hold me to it, on Scott's behalf.
And last, but not least, I leave you with a photo I have entitled "Azalea with Bumblebee" taken today in Scott's yard. It has been a perfect spring for Richmond's azalea crop.
