Sunday Funday: Us, Dinner, and Dollar Drinks

Happy Monday!

This past week I worked the week straight with no days off so I had been pretty bummed to not really do a whole lot. However, the weekend actually was pretty eventful after work. 

Saturday was Jon's niece's birthday so we headed there and celebrated with her party. It was really fun and we got to see a lot of family that we hadn't seen in awhile. 

Sunday night, we ended up getting together with a friend of mine, Jocelyn (from the PAX South trip) and we headed to get dollaritas (which were super lame) and then to the Drafthouse to "get lit" as the kids say and watch Us.

The movie was super creepy and I loved all the ambiguity and hidden references in it. Also Winston Duke as a dad was just..... *heart eyes emoji*

Jonathan also had a blast taking pics with the different props around the theater and I got to help work towards my goal of taking more photos. :)

Overall the weekend was great, but this morning I woke up sick as a dog in bed with no voice. So I've been resting a ton, reading in bed, and spraying terrible tasting numbing spray down my throat which is just as fun as it sounds -__-

However, I was able to finish Reflection by Elisabeth Kim, the Mulan retelling in the Twisted Tales series. I also started On The Come Up by Angie Thomas and I'm already 200 pages in and I adore it! I'll talk more about these in my April wrap-up later this month. 

That's how my weekend has been going! How was yours? Let's chat about it!

Friends, Food, and Bad Movies

Happy Monday!

This past week was pretty exciting! Monday, I start looking through Snapchat, as I typically do, and I noticed that two of my favorite people EVER, my hometown best friends, are in Dallas. I immediately jump in a group text and find out that, surprise, they are on their way to see me (and Metallica, but mostly me).

Vic, me, and Cassie!

I've been friends with Cassie and Vic since high school, so seeing them just brings me back so many good memories. We spent hours talking about fanfiction, OTPS, other people from back home, and laughing all night. Also, Cassie surprised me with a WAFFLE MAKER! I've been dying to have one for a long time so that was so cool!



Wednesday, Jonathan's friend Josh, flew in from Illinois after visiting his girlfriend and stayed at our place for a few hours. We ended up going to watch "It Comes at Night". The movie was absolutely terrible, so we drowned our sorrows in McDonald's and cooking shows. He also brought Jonathan and I really cool gifts! I absolutely adore my watch!

Hers and His

Thursday was a huge day at work and as soon as I got home, I flopped onto the couch and refused to move until Saturday. The week had been hard on Jonathan as well, who worked so much overtime.

Saturday, Jonathan and I grabbed brunch at this spot I had been dying to go to for years. I got an Eggs Benedict/crabcake perfection dish and I fell in love! I had never had eggs benedict and I'm so glad that was my first. 

I also finished The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo and the audiobook of Lolita, read by Jeremy Irons (Swoon). I just started The Thousandth Floor as well, so expect a review soon!

Overall, I had an excellent week and can't wait to see what else is in store! Have a great week!

Movie Weekend

Happy Tuesday!

This past weekend (well, Thursday) Jonathan and I obviously went to go see Wonder Woman. I may have gone a little crazy with the outfit.

Not pictured: WW earrings, shoes, & socks

As I'm sure you have all heard, it was INCREDIBLE! I pretty much started bawling as soon as the movie started and didn't stop until we got home.

The movie was so important to me because I have been such a huge Wonder Woman fan my entire life and if you're a collector, you know how limited her items and presence in merch is. I mean, I have seen more Justice League sets featuring the Joker than her....so to finally see her get a fantastic portrayal and know that little girls will be able to see a superhero movie of someone they can look up to, it just made my heart swell. 

And now I'm crying again...


                                    

I also happened to catch Baywatch this weekend with some friends from out of town. They stopped by for a short visit before taking off to the airport so being able to chat with them and have dinner was really nice, even if it was for just a bit. They also brought us some super awesome goodies including this cat-shaped wine bottle!!!

Baywatch was hilarious and I really liked the relationship between the Rock and Zac Efron. It was super fun and I urge you guys to check it out.


I also started Riverdale and WHY DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG??? I've been a huge fan of Betty and Veronica for most of my life so when the show was announced I was intrigued. But I finally sat down and watched it and loved it! I'm only on the third episode but it's already insane!!

The rest of the weekend was spent gaming (I'm still grinding for the D.Va skin to no avail!), and reading "Everything, Everything" for our book club (more on this later). I hope you guys had a great weekend and I look forward to hearing your thoughts!!


Let's chat in the comments!

Date Weekend and Graduation

This weekend was pretty fabulous!

Friday after work, Jonathan and I headed to WingDaddy's for some much-needed margaritas and quality time. We each got a Bomb-Pop Rita to start off with and it was so cool! I love Bomb-Pops, especially in the summer, so this was the perfect treat to end the semester on!

I ended up also getting a Marco Polo margarita which tasted exactly like a Sour Patch Kid. The candies were also swimming around in the (extremely large) glass!

We then headed off to Target to kill time before our movie (Lego Batman), and I ended up going a little.......crazy. 

Jonathan must love me a lot!

After, shopping around, we both were a little tired so we ended up heading home instead of the theater, where we watched Mulan and had a couples spa night in. Yeah, we are one of those couples.

Saturday, Jonathan had to work so I spent time blogging, cleaning, reading, and generally having a relaxing day at home. I could not wait to start on the huge pile of books I had waiting for me! I ended up finishing This is Where it Ends and should have my review up pretty soon!

Sunday, I went downtown to see two of my best friends, Becca and Marta, graduate with their Bachelor's Degrees in Psychology!! I'm so proud of them. Sadly, Karina and Jonathan had to work, so they had to miss the festivities, but we are all hoping to have a get-together very soon!


All in all, I had a fantastic weekend with some fabulous people. It's weekends like this that help me get through the week.
