Just What The Doctor Ordered

This weekend was the perfect break I needed to de-stress from a crazy week. I cancelled all big plans and decided to lay low, catch up on some sleep and get things done around the house before my parents come to visit on Friday for a couple weeks.

On Friday, K and I went to Texas Roadhouse for some dinner. This place is easily becoming one of my favorite spots for good BBQ and yummy drinks at a decent price. We also got a free appetizer for signing up to their mailing list.

After dinner we picked up a movie from Redbox and relaxed at home. We rented Mom's Night Out which wasn't exactly great but I was just happy to be home relaxing on the couch.

On Saturday morning, I went to get my hair done at my hairdresser's new salon. She has a love for zombies/vampires/voodoo so they new salon is decorated to suit. It's not your typical salon but I think her style is interesting and we always have a fun time chit chatting while I get my hair done. I got some low lights done to tone down the blonde for Fall and the colder months ahead. 

 

Later, I got a bunch of errands done and some retail therapy at Old Navy & Kohl's for some new work clothes.  My pumpkin-scented candles and sweet smelling goodies also arrived from Bath & Body Works.

I baked pumpkin muffins (recipe on the blog tomorrow). I love cooking but have never been particularly good at baking so decided to try my hand at it and they came out really good.

Saturday night pretty much resembled Friday night and was spent relaxing and watching movies from Redbox with some wine.

I watched The Other Woman which was actually pretty good considering the crappy selection at Redbox.

I finally got to sleep in on Sunday, which felt AMAZING and was everything I needed to re-energize for this week. I spent the day blogging, doing laundry and organizing stuff around the house for our visitors this week.

I also enjoyed some Elder Betty beer from Magic Hat on the patio to cap off the weekend while K was glued to the TV watching football. 

 

Baked chicken quesadillas were on the menu for dinner. I posted a recipe a couple weeks ago and they're quickly becoming a favorite go-to meal for us. 

It was the perfect weekend and just what the doctor ordered :-)

How was your weekend?
