Weekend Relaxation, Fun & Pampering

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I had a good one spent in and around town with no major obligations so just going where the wind takes me. Definitely much-needed sometimes!

On Friday, K and I went out for dinner at Tony Roma's to use some free drinks coupons and to check out their new menu. Of course I got a martini and the chopped salad was delish!




On Saturday, I got all my errands done before heading out for lunch at a local oyster shucking place. Just like my obsession with sushi, I crave oysters and try to get my "fix" during oyster season. I know some people either love or hate oysters (possibly due to the texture and appearance) but if you love them like I do, you actually crave them!

After lunch we stopped downtown to meet up with some friends and spend time with a girl friend who was visiting from out of town. We hopped around to a couple bars and then called it a night.



On Sunday, I got to sleep in which felt amazing! LOL It's just one of those little things in life that make it so much better.

I did the usual weekly food prep, laundry, cleaning, blogging and put together this cream cheese chicken chili in the crockpot to cook for dinner. This recipe was featured on Kate's blog a few weeks ago and I just had to try it for myself. So good and easy!

I ended my Sunday afternoon relaxing at the spa and getting a pedi. K won a gift certificate at work and I got to reap the benefits since he has no interest in doing his nails.

Opi's "Warm and Fozzie" is a great color for Fall and has a nice sparkle/shimmer to it. 

Aren't relaxing weekends the best to refresh and recoup for the week ahead?
