Busy Busy Weekend!

Friday!

Friday was such a nice day, I decided to sit by the pool, relax, and read a book... I only lasted about 20 minutes before I got eaten alive by mosquitoes!! So I decided to head inside, relax, and watch a movie!

This movie stars Ellen Page who plays Bliss Cavendar. It's about a small town girl who is forced to participate in beauty pageants by her mother (a former pageant winner). During a shopping trip to Austin, Texas where she picks up a flyer for a Roller Derby event. Her and her best friend sneak to Austin to attend the show, and Bliss finds her turn calling. She end up trying out and succeeds in making it on the team.

The movie was really cute, a defiant chick flick, but just an overall feel good movie.

Saturday!

My plan was to get up early and go to the gym for spin class, but ended up sleeping in.  Which turns out was a good thing, once I got to the gym I saw where spin was cancelled. But I made it there and managed to get on the treadmill for 45 minutes, which I was happy about!

Later that night I went to Biaggi's with some friends before heading to Electric Cowboy! A girl I graduated with is in a band, Hip Kitty. They were going to be in town tonight and my friend's, Jenny and Kevin had a babysitter, so we decided to go!

We ended up having lots of fun! The band when on around 10:30 p.m. for their first set. They did all cover music, nothing from their CD but it was really great!

Here are a few picks from the night:

Jen!

Me and Jenny!

 Sunday!

Really Early:

Hip Kitty's second set didn't start until about 12:00 a.m. and lasted until about 1:30 a.m. Then we stayed until they closed the bar at 2:30 a.m. 

I got home at around 3:00 a.m. This was the earliest I had been out in a long time and was so exhausted, but had a really great time!!

Early:

I got up around 9:00 a.m. to great ready to go out and have breakfast with my Mom and Teresa. I saw in the JFP about a new restaurant call Zydeco, it's a Cajun restaurant and I had a coupon to get a free order of beignets! When we walked in, we sat down and they offed us each 2 free mimosas! We also ordered two other entrees and had a mini buffet between the three of us.

Here are a few pictures:

Zydeco!

Mimosa!!

Beignet!! (more like a hush puppies, but still good)

Afternoon:

Spin class. My friend from work, Lacey, is a spin instructor at the Courthouse. She was able to get me into her class because it doesn't get full on Sundays. It was the best spin class I've been to! It explained so much more then the classes at the Y. After being to a real spin class it makes me sad that work cut a deal with the Y instead of the Courthouse :( But now I'll know how to get more out of my spin classes at the Y :)

Later Afternoon:

When I got out of spin, Teresa was already at my apt. starting on our "fish biscuits" for the Lost party at the Byrd's!

Making "fish biscuits"

Finished cookie!

Teresa's Mr Cluck's Chicken!

Lost:

The Lost Party was tons of fun. Both Teresa and Karen brought Mr. Cluck's, so there plenty of chicken. And the cookies seemed to be a big hit! My thoughts on Lost are still mixed. I was pretty angry when it was all said and done but the wth moment has passed, so I guess I'm okay with how the series ended.

I was a little upset for saying up and watching Jimmy Kimmel. It was a waste of my time. I was excited because there was supposed to be 3 alternate endings, which turned out to be a joke. And the interviews with the cast, which turned out to be a joke too. They didn't really say all that much, I was expecting more.

But overall, it was a fun night. And now I have leftover cookies to take to work, which will make some people happy!
