Today I am thankful for the extra day we got to sleep in. It was a much needed Monday off from work, since my last three have not been the most enjoyable.
I love three day weekends for several reasons: 1) We get one more day to chillax. 2) I get to spend more time with the bf. 3) The upcoming work week is one day shorter. 4) There are usually sales going on at dept stores, which means shopping! 5) I have an extra day to run errands or do chores that is supposed to be completed during the weekend.
Highlights from my 3 day weekend:
- I had a successful shopping weekend. Not only did I find some great deals, I also got two gifts and a dress for my birthday! I usually hate shopping and never find what I want or need, but that was definitely not the case this weekend! I got a bunch of great stuff from H&M, my dress from Foreign Exchange, cute spring skirt from f21, KB socks from Costco and dark denims from BR!
- Great dinner date at Acquerello!My absolute favorite dish of the night: Riged Pasta with foie gras and black truffle. Both ordered 4 courses each. Henry ordered 4 food dishes, as I ordered 3 food dishes and 1 dessert. When this dish came out for Henry, they were nice enough to give me a little tasting portion as well, so I didn't feel left out! Henry and I were sharing everything anyway and I was so taken back when they came out with a tasting for me too. And boy was I glad they did because it was fingerlicking good. Definitely one of the best pasta dishes I've ever had. I'm still dreaming about it. Yum! More on our dining adventure here.
Feels like I haven't dressed up on a date in awhile. Went with a nice black dress, with a sexy back design and my leopard print belt. Finally got to wear the red bottoms that Henry had gotten me for Xmas. They were getting dusty and I think Henry got a little offended because I haven't worn them since he gave it to me. Also sporting the nice new purse I received as a Vday/ Bday gift! <3 him and I love it!
Delicious biscottis they had gifted us to take home. I ate it for breakfast the next day and it was so freaking good that I wish I had another box! - Dinner at Shabu House. I don't love it or crave it as much as some of my nearest and dearests, but I definitely wanted it more since we couldn't get it Friday night. It was the perfect way to end our Sunday night. Of course, I got my usual ginger chicken broth, while the boys feasted to their Spicy Miso.
- I finally got to try Purple kow and see what the hype was all about. Yes, it was good. Yes, the portion size was HUGE (it took me 5 hours to finish it). Yes, you get your bang for your buck. But NO, it was not worth waiting for 1 hour. I would not wait that long for it again. Customer service is horrible and their staff seem to be so disorganized. I would be just as satisfied getting my tapioca at Wonderful Foods on Irving; there's no wait, the sizes are not ridiculously large and it's just as good.
- Got our Shanghai food fix at Shanghai Dumpling King a few blocks away from Purple Kow!
Spicy wonton: my favorite thing we ordered there. The spicy sauce was mixed with what seemed like peanut sauce and it was just perfect! More on our dining adventure here.
Lazy comfy Monday outfit: New sweater from H&M with the only pair of jeans I had at Henrys in my comfy Moccasin Sperry's. New purse from my love; very versatile. I wore this bag the whole weekend while dressed up and dressed down, because I'm not good with switching bags. Oh sunglasses on because I had a make up less face.
Feeling artsy in the car.
