{Weekend Recap} + Monday & Tuesday! So Late...

{Friday}
Friday wasn't all that of an eventful day. But I did get a new purse from Target! I love it. I had a panda purse/satchel thing prior to this, and I used that off and on for the past three years. As much as I loved it, though, I definitely will admit that I was a little embarrassed to be bringing that to the bowling league every week, as well as to this one office related function that Bill and I went to for his work. And thus! A new purse was born!

{Saturday}
Saturday was actually the busiest of days for us.

Starting off Saturday...by going bowling! I actually didn't do too bad for myself, either. I pretty much hit something every frame, which was nice, actually. (I'm a really bad bowler.) Here's an action shot of Bill bowling...most likely a strike.

After bowling, we went back to my hometown here in Jersey to pick up mail from my old house. (Mail is surprisingly still being sent there...) Since there was also mail for my mom, we stopped at the Rita's that I used to work at to get some custard before heading over to Philadelphia since they just opened the day prior. It was so great to see my old bosses! I miss them so much every day. Sadly, I didn't get to see their sons, though. Oh well, next time! If I had to pick out of all my jobs who my favourite boss was, it would definitely be my bosses from Rita's.

We didn't stay in Philly very long. Just enough for me to give mom her mail and to get mine, and say hello to the dogs. We wanted to avoid rush hour traffic, as well, but sadly that didn't happen.

By the time we got home, we both decided that neither of us wanted to cook, so we had Arby's for dinner! Oh my goodness, it was so delicious. When I moved to Philly, there wasn't an Arby's anywhere nearby, so I was deprived of it for a while. Even now, I still savour it every time I have it!

Not too long after we got home from that, my friend Allison came over to hang out with us and we made homemade Shamrock shakes. They weren't bad, actually. Maybe next time I should leave out the cookies, though...

{Sunday}
All we really did on Sunday was our usual grocery shopping. A few days prior, my eyeliner pen ran out, so I picked up a new eyeliner or two and a mascara while we were out. Normally, I get the Revlon eyeliner pen, but admittedly, I got Loreal because I had a coupon! Hahah. Thanks, coupons, for getting me to try new things. So far, I actually really like it!

Do you have a specific day you go grocery shopping? A specific budget? Let me know in the comments below. And if you'd like, I'll do a post all about how we made tackle our grocery shopping and week of meals.

{Monday}
Mondays, for the record, are league bowling nights for Bill.

This week was especially exciting/nervewracking because the first game...he kept hitting strikes. Frame one, strike. Frame two, strike. Frame seven, strike. Frame ten, strike.

If you know anything about bowling, you know that the 10th frame has three turns. First turn, Bill strikes. The next two? He does not. And that's how he missed his 300. When you get a 300, the USBC sends you a ring. But that's okay! He can always try again next week.

{Tuesday}
Tuesday, we had my friend Allison over again, and her boyfriend Shane. Allison made Crockpot Cheddar Beer Chicken Tacos from How Sweet It Is found on none other than... Pinterest. :) They were delicious.

Bill and I made chicken fried rice. I made the chicken and the rice before Bill got home, and he put it all together afterward. It was combo Mexican and Chinese night!

Allison also jetted me over to the library so I could return some books and pick up some new ones! (I'm already halfway through Bossypants by Tina Fey and I just started reading it yesterday evening.)

After dinner we played Clue, which I haven't played since I was like ten... It was really confusing for me to figure out at first, but once I did, it wasn't so bad. Sadly, by them time I had figured it out, Allison, the Queen of Clue, won again.

{And that brings us to today...}
Yesterday wasn't too eventful. I cleaned the rest of the house, and pre-cooked dinner for my mister (and so that I could have some to take to my mom's house) before I left for three days. I'm back at mom's house, petsitting until tomorrow night. I have to say, I really miss my mister. (Hi Bill, if you're reading this! <3)

Not too much going on. I'm blazing through Bossypants. Actually... I think I'll get back to doing that right now... :)

Sorry for the massive post dump! It's totally my fault for not just sitting down and making myself do it. I need to get back on the ball!

{Weekend Recap} + Monday

What a busy weekend! Bill and I have been all over the place, and continued that running around yesterday (but yesterday was considerably less fun in some parts). Sorry the recap is late. Blogging No-no's 101.

{Saturday NIGHT}
Saturday night, we went midnight bowling with Christine and Larren's friends. I had never been midnight bowling before, and I gotta say, it was pretty cool. We had never been to this bowling alley before (Westbrook Lanes). It was okay, but I've been to better bowling alleys.

Myself and Bill bowling! I don't remember telling you this or not, but Bill bowls in a league. He's pretty amazing, actually, with an over 200+ average! My grandpaw was a bowler with tons of trophies and stuff. I hate to say it, but his bowling goodness...it didn't rub off on me. I'm lucky if I'm not cleaning the gutters on every frame! I did a little better this time around, though!

Almost the whole gang... The other girl was bowling, and I obviously was taking the picture...of Larren taking a picture! Wasn't long after these pictures below were taken that the cops showed up. It seems a lot of people snuck other people in the alley and they weren't wearing wristbands like they were supposed to, and one guy got arrested for trespassing! By the time everything was sorted out, our game was almost over, so we just left.

{Sunday MORNING}

After bowling (which was over after midnight, so technically it was now Sunday), Bill and I had a Wawa run! Ugh, yum! Nothing better than late-night Wawa when you're starving. I had a shorti with a half gallon of green tea. How many of you out there don't know what a Wawa is, or don't have one?

{Sunday AFTERNOON}

Sunday we spent a nice, relaxing day at Bill's mom's house. She invited us over for London Broil with a side of fries. I have, one, never had London Broil before, and two, never had steak with fries. Both of these things need to happen so much more often. That was arguably the best steak I've ever eaten. (Sorry Mommabear!)

Right after lunch, Bill's brother Dave drove us all the movie theater, and we went to see Identity Thief. Oh my 'Lanta was it hiarious! Guy's identity gets stolen, and he tracks the woman down who did it and manages to bring her from Florida all the way to Colorado in order to save his job. It was amazingly hilarious, and even had some good action in it! 8/10!

And I know that Monday isn't part of the weekend  but I had a rather busy Monday, so I figured, "Why not include it, too?!"

{Monday AFTERNOON}
Doctors office for bloodwork. Won't know the results until probably my next visit in a week. :/ I hate going to the doctor's in the first place, but what I hate more is being told that the only way to stop the problem is to do things that I'm already doing. It's like... I'm already doing the right things, so what are bad things still happening to me?! Most. Frustrating. Thing. Ever. EVER. So I guess we'll just have to wait and see...

At least I got ice cream from Coldstone afterwards! It was so yummy and made me feel so much better after being STABBED WITH NEEDLES. :X

{Monday NIGHT}
As per usual, Monday night is bowling night for Bill. I always tag along for company and to talk a little with the bowling guys. They're pretty nice, actually! Some of the guys have fun making fun of me...

Bill did okay this week. I've seen better, I've seen worse. Just gotta hope for better next week! And hop that his knee doesn't hurt him at all, either. I guess he needs more than a day of rest between bowling games...



So that's all my news this weekend... OH! I woke up today to a nomination for a Liebster Award!!! I'm going to do a whole post on that tomorrow. I'm so excited about it! My little baby of a blog really is growing up, huh? :')
