{Life} Weekend Recap!

Man, my three day weekend breezed by. Friday I had the joy of going to the dentist. I absolutely hate the dentist. Even just thinking about it gives me crazy anxiety & makes me sick to my stomach. But, I had to go get a bunch of stuff done & decided to do sedation. If you are afraid of the dentist, I highly recommend it & you will not remember a gosh darn thing or hear anything, besides them telling you to open your mouth & move your head. Although, be sure not to bring your phone or else you will be reading conversations of things you don't even remember texting people.

Anyway, Saturday I did a little shopping. I stumbled upon these bad boys at Nordstroms. Seriously?! Please do not tell me platform sneakers are coming back, there is no way. I remember rocking these in like the 6th grade & the Spice Girls were all the rage. Oh, Steve Madden. I do not know what you are thinking.  & please ladies, I hope you are not wearing it this fall season. I will have to cut your feet off. 
Went into H&M & found this cute double breasted sweater & striped v-neck cardigan for Cain. I swear this kid is going to be so stylish & maybe even a model like his father. Bahaha. 
Saturday night, we watched the UFC fights as we always do, & Boo got a little drunk, once again... he wasn't praying to the porcelain god this week, but a trash can next to my bed. I swear with his birthday & Halloween, I am going to bet he will be throwing up every weekend in October. {sigh}

& then came Sunday funday! Went to brunch with my Aunt Heather, cousin Andrea, & brother. Got a little day wasted. 
My beautiful Aunt Heather, does not look a day over 30. {wink}
I made my way over to World Market afterwards & finally found a chair that I was looking for & I did not have to buy it in a set of 2 like they had it online & its pretty comfy. Not to mention, since it was a floor model I got 15% off + an additional 10% for being a member or whatever. SCORE! Made my day.
 Anyway, I cannot wait for tomorrow, MNF, P.Rivers you better score me some crazy points! & then I can't wait for the rest of the week to be over for another fun filled weekend!

{Sunday + Happiness Challenge} Day 27...

I was feeling quite lazy waking up on Sunday morning, especially after such an eventful Saturday, but I had to force myself out of the house because it was hot as shit. So, I decided to step out for a little bit to take in the lovely San Diego sun.

I went to brunch at True Food, I have been meaning to try this place for awhile because I have heard some pretty spectacular things about it & everything being fresh, organic, and  I started off with the kale aid. & it was yummy, makes me wanna start juicing... {sort of} probably more work than I'm willing to put in.
Their watermelon salad is pretty fricken delicious watermelon + goat cheese + heirloom tomatoes + basil, can't really go wrong, but of course maybe some serrano chilies on it would have added a great kick to it, none the less the  salad was still refreshing especially on a hot summer day.
I also had their Thai shrimp dumplings, which were yummy the sauce it was in was sour & tangy, which I like.  & I had the panang curry for my main course, it was good, but I hate the fact that they put the brown rice at the bottom of the bowl instead of on the side & then pour the curry all over it, Ugh, I hate soggy rice. But overall, pretty good & I will definitely probably be back to try some other things on their menu.
After brunch, we made our way to the ghetto to go to the asian supermarket. Ugh, I hate asian supermarkets, one of the worst places to go, I will avoid them like a fricken plague, the smell of walking into one makes me one to vomit & I totally gagged like 5 times after walking in there. But, the gags were worth it because they had live lobsters on sale for $5.99/lb. {winning!!!} We boiled these bad boys when we got home. SOOOO gooood.
 Overall happiest moment of yesterday:
Going to Encinitas & dipping my toes into the pacific ocean. & the water was pretty warm I might add.
& watching the beautiful sunset...
