Weekends are lovely.
Mine included….
My dad’s birthday dinner at our house. Carnitas tacos, coconut cake and Gentlemen Broncos. Craig and my dad thought it was hilarious, but while it had funny moments I just couldn’t get into it. Maybe I wasn’t in the right mood. Or maybe it was lame.
Birthday breakfast at the Waffle Window with my beautiful friends James & Ash. The 3 B’s was incredible – bacon, basil and brie on a waffle? Yes please! Then we got coffee at Heart and did some birthday shopping for Ash. We have a little tradition where we take each other shopping for our birthdays and choose outfits to each other. I like this tradition.
Church with our friends Chris & Becca. Afterward Craig and I had date night. Dinner at Violetta and then we saw True Grit. I highly recommend True Grit. Violetta? Not so much. It had so much potential, but ended up being super greasy and left me with a terrible stomachache :(. Date night was a success overall though.
Sunday brunch with Becca & Lindsey. Waffles with a plethora of topping options: peanut butter, almond butter, nutella, bananas, strawberries & blueberry ginger compote. Yum! Afterwards we worked on Lindsey’s hair blog. She’s the lovely lady who gave me my new haircut and soon she has a blog in the works all about hair and I’ll keep you posted so you can check it out when it’s up and running! Then I did a little shopping with Becca, her hubby Chris and their little one Bennett. Got some jeans at UO, but am having buyers remorse, so they might be going back on Tuesday. We’ll see. Wrapped up our weekend by finishing up season 5 of Dexter. TV series always bum me out when they’re done for the season. It’s like losing a friend or something. Maybe I’m just weird like that though.
OK. That’s it.
How did you spend your weekend?

watching dvd’s with mom! haha! weekends are the best 🙂

Unfortunately I spent my weekend completely bored as I’ve pulled my hamstrings by doing some gardening on Thursday. I had so many things planned as well. I wanted to go to the market on saturday, the bank and the haberdashery.
And on sunday I wanted to sort out some more boxes in the loft and have a clear up – but no, alas it was not so. Maybe next weekend 🙂
Thanks for sharing, it soundes lovely!

weekends are THE BEST. I love that chalkboard pic!
Fun weekend! I watched Gentlemen Broncos too and couldn’t get into it, so don’t worry. The only part I thought was funny was when he said, “Broncanus.”
Ashley got bangs! cute!
Hooray for waffles! and Heart! and shopping!
I miss you and am eagerly awaiting the arrival of your letter : )
Hugs, Dana

My fav sunday brunch is Tasty n Sons 🙂

love the shopping for an outfit for a friend idea for bdays!!
I celebrated chinese new year, hosted a baby shower, and watched the super bowl!!
I’ve heard amazing things about the burgers at Violetta, although I’ve only had salads there, maybe that’s a good thing now??? haha.
WHERE can I get my hands on one of those 3 B
‘s waffles!?!?!?! Do the have them in Ohio?
Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend 🙂
Your Kitchen nook chalkboard is working out super well! Have a great week!
Wine tasting in Battleground, WA… so pleasantly surprised! Then dinner in with wine to celebrate my 4 year anniversary with my husband. Love all your waffle toppings!
You always have such jam packed weekends, but they always seem so much fun! My weekend was spent being sick, which is lame!
you had me at brie. i love it so much i can’t even describe it!
and why is it that the times i’m hungry, all blogs seems to have pictures of food?!? so cruel!
love you, friend!
Ian and I are in the process of watching all episodes of “Friends” and I am already sad that we are on the last season… Spending at least an hour with them every night for the past couple months and then having them gone completely. For good… It just seems WRONG : (
Ha.
And I loved meeting you on Saturday too! I like to say “I already knew you, I just hadn’t met you yet.” Hahaha. But seriously, your last few posts mention all these people that I know too and I kept thinking to myself “how do we know all the same people and have yet to meet each other?” Glad that’s taken care of now!
Sounds like a lovely weekend! I was wondering about Violetta! Hmmm. I thought it looked interesting too. We had a busy weekend full of food too:-) Those are always fun!
A few things…
That coconut cake looks amazing.
I agree, True Grit is fantastic.
I’ve only been to Violetta once and my food was really good, but Jeremy didn’t like his so much. I guess it’s hit or miss.
I drive by Heart all the time, but have yet to go in. Is it worth the stop?

You have the best weekends! I love all your brunches!
