Memorial Day Weekend

Long holiday weekends are the best.  Here is how ours played out.

On Friday we were both hoping to get out of work early but were both strung along until close to 5:00 pm...not much of an early release.  We met up in downtown Brooklyn and grabbed a quick dinner at Panera and then headed over to the theater to see Godzilla.  We got a giant bag of popcorn and a huge lemonade to share.  The movie was what you would expect of Godzilla...a lot of crushed buildings and scary prehistoric creatures. 

Saturday was a lot of back and forth in Bay Ridge.  We took advantage of the Memorial Day sales and bought a REAL mattress at Sleepy's.  We are SO excited because this is the first real mattress either of us has ever had in our adult lives.  I have been sleeping on an Ikea futon for the last 5 years and Dan's bed is Ikea's version of a dorm mattress.   This mattress marks our entrance into true adulthood and of course...marriage.  The best part is Sleepy's has delayed delivery so we don't have to worry about it until we find a place and can get it delivered to us in a few of months!


Also on Saturday we did some birthday shopping for Dan's mom and went to a birthday party for one of my friends from school.  We almost dined and dashed by accident when we left without realizing we didn't pay.  Luckily we remembered in time to go back.  That night I made a Hummingbird cake for church the next day.  It was a hit, wish I had taken a picture.  Recipe here.

On Sunday we did our usual church routine and spent the afternoon doing a whole lot of nothing but watching tv and a bit of watercolor painting.  For dinner I made Hawaiian bbq chicken taquitos. Yum!  Recipe here


Holiday Monday had a slow start with a shaving injury that took 45 minutes to stop bleeding.  Once we got it together we headed over to Owl's Head for a picnic and played some Chinese poker.  I must have been in la la land because I didn't even think about taking pictures.  It finally felt like summer with temperatures in the upper 80s so we soaked in the sunnies.  Later we watched movies, played scrabble, and got Grandma's pizza for dinner.  We hit up the memorial day super sale at Old Navy.com for some summer steals and registered for a Color Run 5K on July 5th. 


Overall, a moderately productive and sufficiently relaxing weekend.  Every week should have a holiday Monday.  I'm certain everyone would be much cheerier during the work week if we all started on Tuesday.

P.S. Someone bought the teapot from the registry!!! This thrills me beyond belief.  The tools for Dan were purchased too.  Squeeeee
