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!

Overwatch - OVER IT!

Just kidding.

Kind of.

At the end of May, Overwatch celebrated their anniversary event with a ton of new skins, emotes, and other goodies. 

This was a pretty big event. Their were over 100 different anniversary themed items in this event, more than any previous event. So naturally, I decided I would be grinding for new items. 

And then this skin was released....

If you're not familiar with Overwatch, that character up there is D.Va (real name: Hana Song), a 19 year old Korean professional StarCraft player, who was tapped to join the fight in the war between the Omnics and humans after her country had been destroyed. For reference, this is her usual skin.

I am a huge D.Va fan. When the game was announced, I immediately was drawn to this adorable, bubbly gamer girl. I now have multiple shirts, figures, and merch all relating to her character.

So when I saw the 50's style skin that was available, I NEEDED IT!! I spent the whole first week grinding for skins, starting as soon as I left work until past midnight.

And nothing.

I spent all my weekends playing, since I didn't have to work.

And still.....nothing.

I OPENED 80 anniversary lootboxes guys. I leveled up over 60 times, since each level granted one box. 

By the time this past weekend came around, I had been playing upwards of 7 hours a day, stopping only for work and to sleep. Sunday, I played from 8 AM to 7:30 PM.

And at the end of all of that,


I finally had enough gold to buy it.


And now, I will never play Overwatch again....


at least until the next event.

I know this isn't my usual format for recaps, but I have spent my entire past week doing nothing but playing this game. This next week looks to be a lot more entertaining and I can't wait to share it with you guys!
