I had met Em and Lee before - great to see them again, and of course, great to meet Tina and Alyana. Normally, when I go I ALWAYS get the same thing (chicken empanada and tomato fresco) but I really mixed it up this time and tried lamb sliders, a "pizza" and this awesome bread - loved trying new things and of course catching up with Lee/Em and getting to know Tina/Alayna better in person! Great blogger meet up - I'm already looking forward to the next one! After the dinner I headed home and met Austin, Katie and Cush here - we had a drink and called it a night - GREAT Friday.
Saturday I woke up feeling horrible! My nose was all stuffed up and my TOM was AWFUL. I was in bed most of the day and even had to skip my workout - how 1950's of me. NO fun. I finally scraped myself out of bed and did a bit of laundry, and eventually watched the Auburn game and headed over toStacy and Shane's Halloween party, then out in Smyrna for a bit! I wasn't drinking - but still managed to have great time of course! Loved seeing the costumes and visiting with everyone - GOOD times.
Sunday I woke up too early. Dang it pups! LOL I fed Remy, cleaned up a bit, watched some of my girl TV and took a 2-hour nap. Nice! Then I hit the grocery store for the week (and for Halloween Candy!), went to the gym and walked 3 miles, finished reading Sharp Objects, and got ready for trick-or-treaters. They came at 6 p.m. and we got TONS! So fun. But at 7 p.m. it was time to head down to midtown to the the Fox for the 311 show! GREAT SHOW.
We love that band and try to see them whenever we can - awesome venue, great parking - it was really super smooth. Only complaint which isn't really a complaint? My ears rang for 1+ hours after the show! We got great seats (hence why I can't really complain) but WOWZA it was LOUD. The speaker was like in our faces. We totally took one for the team and loved it though.
Q: What is the highlight of your weekend? I can't pick one! I really enjoyed our blogger meet up, the Halloween party and the show!
Q: Are you a 311 fan? I've been pretty much obsessed with them since I heard 'Down' off the 311 album at 13-years-old.
P.S. So I officially owe not one but TWO book reviews. Loved them BOTH (Karin Slaughter's Undone and Gillian Flynn's Sharp Objects). I'm about to finish The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo as well - GREAT BOOKS YOU GUYS! Can't wait to do the reviews.
P.S.S. I also made a video of our trips to Dominican Republic and NY in May - I'll post it tomorrow - so fun to make!

What a great weekend! From the blogger meet up to the concert- everything sounds great. I hope you are feeling much much better. The guys and girls look super cute in their costumes. Highlight of my weekend...gosh...hard to choose, but probably celebrating my Dad's birthday with him at brunch :)
I LOOVEEE the fallen angel costume! Very cute idea.

Haha, I love how you said, "how 1950's of me." We should definitely have blogger dinners more often.

Aw 311 was one of my first concerts ever I was in high school when we went, but like you, found out about them when I was in 7th grade. That's so fun you guys got to go! Love the Halloween photos too...I've missed checking out your blog. Trying to be more consistent!
