Weekend Recharge

Thank you everyone for the well wishes on Friday! I really appreciate the sweet messages and positive energy sent my way. Times like this make you realize how amazing the blogging community is. This weekend was the perfect break to relax and recharge. 

K and I went downtown after work to have some patio drinks with a beautiful view of the lake. It was the perfect place to clear my mind and just breathe.  


After hanging out by the lake, we went for dinner at my favorite sushi spot downtown (Shari Sushi Lounge) which has $4.25 rolls everyday from 5-7pm. Dinner consisted of garlic edamame, tuna sashimi and a few different sushi rolls. It was the perfect date night and way to spend Friday night!


On Saturday morning I headed to the hairdresser for some pampering and then did some quick shopping at Petco, Total Wine and a few other errands. 

It was a beautiful, sunny day so we took Lola for a walk around the neighborhood and had a relaxing rest of the day at home. We watched the Kentucky Derby and I got to catch up on some blogging and more importantly R&R after a stressful week. 



On Sunday, we cooked up some brunch at home. On the menu was Eggs Benedict and pineapple mimosas.

Also got to spend lots of QT with my honey who now thinks she's an acrobat.



And then headed to our neighborhood pool to catch some rays and take a dip in the pool.


I feel recharged and I'm ready to take on this new week. Things are looking up! 

How was your weekend?

    Sounds like a relaxing weekend - glad you're feeling refreshed! We did an at-home brunch yesterday too and sat out on the patio...it was better than being at a restaurant since we weren't rushed and could have as many cocktails as we wanted ;)

    Visiting from the link up! I don't like sushi but that edamame looks SO delicious. I love making breakfast at home, I don't like eggs so I always struggle with eating breakfast or brunch at a restaurant but at home I can totally customize thing and make something I want! Hope you have a fantastic week! :)

    Sushi Happy Hour, puppy time, Eggs Benedict, and relaxing by the pool sounds like the perfect cure for anything. Hope this week is going well!
