I am working today in exchange for taking Tuesday
off. It was a last minute switch and I
am so thankful for helpful coworkers!
Since I am working today my only day off was
Saturday. So, what does a
one-day-weekend look like?
Friday night I met friends for a bite to eat and a
movie downtown. Boise Classic Movies is
an organization that brings classic movies (aka old movies) back for a showing
on the big screen. Friday night was Greese.
It was an interesting experience and we had a lot of fun. They have a costume contest ahead of time and
then people are singing, talking, and reciting lines during the movie. We have plans to try and hit The Princess Bride when it comes in
August.
The movie was at The Egyptian Theatre. It is an old style two-story movie theater
and I’ve only been inside a handful of times.
It sure does make for a more enjoyable classic movie feel too.
I had plans to hike Table Rock and take Rebecca out
for a birthday breakfast at Goldy’s. She
wasn’t feeling well so we cancelled. I
was sort of happy because my hips/back did not really want an intense
hike. Obviously I did no other planned
activity as I am 1) lazy and 2) had a million things to do. I met Kenyon for breakfast at Cracker Barrel
then spent $42 at Trader Joe’s. I love
TJ’s. It’s like Disneyland…but with
food. I went mostly for cottage cheese
(they have the best) and using the WW app was able to find lots of SF food
options to buy. I also hit up Costco and
Winco.
I had an appointment to take off my gel nails. I really like them and they look really
great, until they break. It has been
happening each time I get them done and I am tired of wasting money. A little birdie told me my nail person would
be quitting to as she is moving to NV so it was sort of an easy decision to
stop getting my nails done. The money
can be used elsewhere so it is the right decision. From there I had a pedicure appointment at
the Avadea Institute. I had some fun new
sandals due to arrive at my door (free shipping from The Walking Company) so I
needed to pretty up my toes. The Avadea
Institute is a school so it was a fraction of the cost and I brought my own
no-light gel polish.
I bought two different colors of the same sandal
before I bought the flip/flop kind. I
know I’m keeping the flip flop one and the silver pair. I am not sure yet if I should keep the
pink/purple pair. It is cute…but do I
really need three?
Kenyon works every other Saturday night so I made
plans for the same group of ladies (minus a few and adding one) to come over
and play some games at my house. I kept
it easy with this recipe for fajitas. It
was really tasty and not very complicated so I would make it again for
sure. I’m having left over fajitas for
lunch today.
I didn’t snap any photos of last night’s get together. We had a lot of fun and played three games: Would You Rather?, which was really
hard, and UNO Spin, which was really
fun, and Apples to Apples, which I
really liked. We are going to see if we
can get a group together to try Cards Against
Humanity, which is supposed to be really great.
It was an enjoyable day off and now I’m back at
it. I’m a bit sleepy though….zzzzz…..
