This weekend went by too quickly! A recap.

Friends! Thank you so much for coming to my house warming party {blog hop pot luck} on Saturday! It was so much fun, I loved each and every post, and my smile muscles hurt by Saturday evening. And for those who participated by creating a post and making a drink or dish, thanks for taking the time and the love to do that!

I plan to put all the photos and recipes in a book, and there's also a blog giveaway in our future to win your own copy. More on that later! Now let's get to my weekend recap, shall we?

After reading Carrie's post about self-portraits, I decided to commit to taking a photo of myself every week. I won't post them all here on my blog, but I wanted to share this one. My Instagram caption read: "Doug has gotten pretty good at helping with a ponytail. Will be so glad when I can lift my right arm again!" {Yeah, the shoulder still ails me.}

Anyway, I took that SP just before work on Friday, and even though including Friday in my weekend recap isn't precise, I thought you'd also like to see what I look at while sitting at my desk at my new job. Candy. Chocolate candy. As I will be responsible for purchasing candy for this dish in the future, I figure I'll buy some kind of candy that I don't like. Logical, right?

We had friends over on Saturday for some yardwork and a barbeque. Early in the day I had to make a trip to the grocery store, and on my way out of the neighborhood I noticed a yard sale. Picked up this little porcelain travel iron for $10.

Sunday morning Doug, Carrie and I all went to see The Hunger Games. Carrie had read the book a year ago, then made Doug and I both read it as well. Loved the book, loved the movie. Carrie was so excited - we had to take pictures for her Project Life.

After the movie we had lunch at BJ's Brewhouse...

And later in the afternoon Carrie and I went for pedicures...

Dear Universe: Why is it every time we go for a pedicure I get a technician that cuts me? Seriously? Carrie was in the chair next to me falling asleep and I was wincing in pain and bleeding! {Weird angle on my foot there...and for the record, my toes do look pretty now.}



Good thing I have Whiskers to sooth me.
Isn't that right, angel cat?

Back to week number two at my new job.

I'm learning lots and there is a lot to learn.

Doug and I are both adjusting to me being back to work full time.

It's all good and we are happy. ;o)
