My Weekend

Boy, oh boy did I have a fun-filled full weekend!

Alright so Friday evening, consisted of working late and taking a walk w/ the doggies. Time consuming? yes Fun-filled? no, yet it was a relaxing way to unwind after work.

Saturday, I was up early (can anyone explain why it's impossible to sleep in on Sat/Sun, yet so tempting throughout the week?), out the door for a long (2hr) walk, with Deezel and Josi in tow, why of course. Then it was on to the grocery store - I'm a Kroger girl- we needed a few things and my Dad was coming into town for the night, so I wanted to get stuff for dinner. If you ask me I'd rather make dinner and visit than go out when entertaining relatives, but that's me.

I do have a new food obsession - True North (brand) Almond Clusters - yum:) oh, and Simply Orange, oj - with lots of pulp. I know that was random but I was thinking about the grocery store.

Afterwards, I spent a couple hours chopping up goodies in the kitchen - watermelon, onions, peppers, tomatoes, olives, lettuce...yes I decided to make tacos for dinner. Growing up, we loved taco night, where everyone made a mess while eating to the bursting point. Nonetheless, I wanted to have most of the food prepped because I was going out for the afternoon.

I went down to the North Market (downtown Columbus), to a wine tasting event with my friends, Kathryn, Gina and Kristy. I was really excited for two reasons, 1. who doesn't like wine? and 2. I love the Pesto from Pastaria, this stuff is amazing, and I needed to replinish my empty spot in the freezer.
The wine tasting was a good time, yet it was a scorcher and very crowded, I had never been to one before, and I'll definitely go again.

My dad showed up about the time I got home, we (Caleb, he and I) chatted while I finished dinner. Then we feasted on Tacos and went to the Chocolate Octupus for some good ole' ice cream for dessert. We planned on taking a little walk after that but got rained out. So I made some pasta, fresh cheese tortellini, for the pesto while the men watched Dangerous Catch on A&E.

Sunday, I was up early again and My Dad and I, along with the furkids took a long walk, making it back just in time before it started to rain. Then we went to try out Rise & Dine, a new breakfast place that recently opened near us, we all gave it a thumbs up - although I still like First Watch better. Around noon, my Dad took off for home and I finished up a book I was reading during the afternoon.

Deezel and Josi had a birthday party to attend at 6pm - Happy Birthday Scarlet- there friend was celebrating their 4th birthday. We had a really great time, lotsa treats (cupcakes - for dogs, beef and chicken and watermelon ice cubes, peanut butter in a cup) games and general run around like crazy dog playing filled up the next few hours. We were home from the party around 9pm and by then it was time to go to bed shortly and get ready for Monday, egh....back to the work week.
