The weekend wrap-up

Gosh, is it Monday already? Ugh. Not quite ready for another week to start.

Let's see, what did I get up to over the weekend?

Saturday was our running around day. Got up early and the hubby and I went out to breakfast at a new place. It's a restaurant that's actually inside a local hotel. We got an advertisement from them in the mail with a Buy One Get One Free coupon for their breakfast buffet. $13.00 for both of us? Sure, we'll check it out! The service was excellent and the food was…good. I would've said "great" but everything was just lukewarm. Nothing was hot. Everything tasted great but barely warm pancakes and waffles was a bummer. I doubt we'll go back.

We hit the road after that to head back to the glass studio one more time to pick up my pendants. I was irritated once again because they said they'd call last Tuesday and by Friday I still hadn't heard from them and had to call them again. Terrible customer service. They're lucky that this time the pendants turned out the way they were supposed to and I'm pleased with them. Here is the before and after pics:

John wanted to head to World Market after the studio to pick up some international foods he's been enjoying. I started wandering around and ended up finding a large pillow I wanted for the living room. John found everything he was looking for, plus quite a few extras from the display of Irish foods for St. Patrick's Day. One of which was a mix to make Irish soda bread. Somehow we ended up in the furniture section and we both fell in love with a sofa and chair set. I've always wanted a sofa with a chaise lounge. And this one can flip so that the chaise can be on either side depending on your living room set up. John hates the couches we have now and would prefer a couple of regular chairs. So this met both our needs. I thought it was a reasonable price but John said he gets fantastic coupons from them via email for furniture all the time. So we're going to wait a bit. I think I know what I'll be spending those gift cards from work on!

Back at the house we unpacked and I ended up taking a nap. Woke up to the wonderful smell of bread baking. Yep, John had made the Irish soda bread. It turned out fantastic! That was pretty much our dinner - fresh warm bread with real Irish butter. Melted in our mouths!

Sunday was a lazy day. Caught up on TV shows, did the laundry, made butterscotch pudding and finished reading Insurgent. Good book. I'm ready for the movie now!

Forgot to mention that the weather was just gorgeous out. It was in the mid-60's. We opened up the living room windows for the first time! Bean about lost her mind. :-)  She was on the windowsill plastered up against the screen, watching the squirrels run around on the grass in front of the house.

So that's what I did. How was YOUR weekend?
