Here is my weekend update. So far.
*Dined on delicious dinner (nice alliteration, right? thank you high school English class!) at Nostrana with the in-laws.
{my delicious brick oven margherita pizza}
{craig’s chicken with white truffle butter…i tried it. not quite sure about all the truffle hype.
never had one before. they were goodbut not sure they’re worth the hype.}
{this is what $15 beer looks like. apparently my bro-in-law thought it was worth it}
{dessert. quince & logan berry crisp with almond cream. way tastier than it looks}
*Watched The Book of Eli. It was a mixed bag for me. Hated some parts. Loved some parts. LOVED the cinematography. I can’t decide.
*Got an awesome package in the mail from the lovely Caroline. She goes to UCSC. I love their mascot (the banana slug) and have always wanted to own banana slug paraphernalia. I mentioned it once. Caroline sent me some. Isn’t that so thoughtful? I love it. Thanks Caroline!
{note: this is the back of the shirt. my boobs are not that flat.}
*Went to Zumba with my mom. She’s way more dedicated about going to the gym than I am. Lucky for me, or I’d never get there.
*Had a tea date with my friend Liz.
*Bought a pile of cuteness from Michael’s craft store.
*Had my “Shameless Loves” list posted at Molly’s blog. I love her blog. She’s so cute and a fun read. Go check it out!
*Had salmon for dinner.
*Watched Project Runway Season Premiere. Another Portland girl this season! I hope she represents, because I wasn’t super impressed with her first challenge.
*Started a Twitter account. Not sure I’ll use it. I’m confused. Plus, I protested for so long, that now I kinda feel like a sell out and am contemplating deleting it. We’ll see.
*Realized I now have 201 followers! Holy “when did that happen?” Thanks for reading. And to the ‘newbies’, leave a comment so I can pop over to your blogs!
Now sitting here watching Craig play Call of Duty and blogging. Super exciting evening, I know. I can just tell you’re glued to the edge of your seat…. I know. Me too. Except not.
I’ve got a 4-day weekend….well….3 days left, so I suppose I’ve still got time to do some cool stuff.
Hope you’re all enjoying your weekend!
dinner looks yum!
i LOVE zumba and it’s the only thing i miss about the gym
gonna check out your shameless love post now and then watch snl… since you mentioned here and my husband is boring and asleep on the couch. 😉
xxoo
that dinner looks so good! i love margherita pizza. so yummy. and i hope the $15 beer was good! that is pricey! i have mixed feelings about seeing Book of Eli! i have heard good and bad things, but i am a sucker for good cinematography, so maybe i will have to check it out!
what a sweet gift from Caroline! i love the shirt! i love even more that you had to mention it was the back, and that your boobs aren’t that small. haha, you are my favorite.
i am now going to check out your list on Molly’s blog, and then possible write my own post! i just emailed you by the way. sean is asleep and i am sitting here watching the notebook. at least craig is awake!!
🙂
Yay for UC Santa Cruz! My cousin went there. For my outdoor education as a sort of right of passage we were told to kiss banana slugs. I was told they tasted like banana’s. I was lied to.
Lauren… you got it!!! Wahooo!!! I ended up buying the same shirt on Friday because I loved it so much!! Glad you enjoy it!!! 🙂 xo!! Snail Mail got there quickly… maybe because it had something to do with Banana Slugs 🙂 Enjoy your weekend!!
well hello there 🙂
btw. I loved your shameless love
I just watched some Food Network (I think) program with a guy on it who was digging for truffles. They look pretty (well, cleaned/cooked, not straight from the ground) but I don’t think I’ve ever had them. What kind of taste is it?
I love Project Runway, but I was so annoyed with the first show! Especially with the woman who cried over choosing her model at the end. I understood the situation but it just seemed… excessive. I don’t know.
sounds like you are having such a great weekend! tons of good food! how was zumba? i’ve heard so much about it lately but i really am terrible at going to the gym. xo

I am seriously jealous of your new tee shirt. And I can’t believe how much you’ve already packed into your weekend, and you still have 3 days left?? I am wandering somewhere waaay back there in your dust.
Hopefully the $15 beer was any good. Quite pricey! Wow. I’ve heard good things about Book of Eli but am not sure if it’s really THAT good. 🙁 Ohhh and congrats on over 200 followers. 🙂 Your blog’s amazing that’s why!!!! 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀 xoxo
and P.s. haha, I still haven’t figured out what twitter is all about. I’m kinda playing with it right now…maybe one day I’ll understand it. 😉 Have a fabulous Sunday.
i love your weekend so far! that pizza looks epic.
and is he playing the new call of duty? because we’re dying to get that. my boy and i are video game nerds — we bond and create moments by killing zombies and monsters.
what a great mascot! anyways i just started following and your blog is amazing compared to my baby one!
I need to get better at writing….its something I always struggle with I guess. I love how you make just the everyday things you do so fun to read. I have been posting more on my blog at least so that’s a minor improvement:)
i love margherita pizza! yum, and that looks especially delish.
i also watched the season premiere of project runway! i have not even watched an episode since season 1. i think it might continue to watch…it is so intriguing!
i love your pics. Are you editing them or using a magic camera?
did you make the quince and berry crisp? i would love to try to make it! and that pizza looks delightful! i’m heading back to rome tomorrow and i cant wait to sink my teeth into a delicious margherita!
Yum that dinner looks delicious! Looks like you’ve had a pretty packed weekend so far, yay to that!
the food looks delicious 🙂
and haha i watched the project runway season premiere too when everyone i knew was watching the jersey shore 2 hour special. lmao.
I loved your Shameless Love! And you inspire me blog queen!

I love the beer in the wine glass! So classy. Also, that banana slug shirt rocks!
I’m avoiding Twitter, too. Of course, I avoided Facebook for a long time, and then eventually jumped on that bandwagon, and now I like it, so maybe Twitter isn’t that bad.
Hi Lauren!
Welcome to HAVE A CUTE DAY! I can tell by the quick once over on your blog that you are a VERY cute girl! And I mean VERY as in a lot of radness too! I would love to feature you sometime, send me a cute pic if you are feeling couragous! Also, I see that you are from my neck of the woods! I am just a Seattle transplant but never felt more at home since I moved here!

That food looks AMAZING!!! YUM!!!
Your weekend sounds fabulous! I LOVE project runway, but yeah I wasn’t super impressed by anyone…at least not yet….
I hit 100 followers today! eep! It’s so flattering!
my mouth is full with saliva.
could it be because the food looks ridiculously delicious? or could it because i haven’t eaten anything today….
no, it has to be the first one. for sure.
ugh. i want some margherita pizza. NOW!!
I just found your blog via Happenstance! I love what you’ve got here!! xoxo

Mmmm, that food looks so good! I really shouldn’t be looking at food though, because I ate more pizza this weekend than any woman ever should! My husband was away which meant I had a break from cooking, but I guess I indulged a little too much!
Your pizza looks sooooo yummy!
Yay for busy weekends!
Your dinner looks divine!!!
I love Project Runway so far! And I’ll have to find you on twitter if it’s not already deleted 🙂
