Top Eight From My Weekend

The top things from my weekend that make my Monday Marvelous! 

1.) On Friday morning I went with my best friend down to the studio of the top 20 radio station in Minneapolis, KDWB. My friend had won into a giveaway special where the DJ was celebrating her birthday by giving us all her "favorite things". Similar to Oprah's favorite things show. It was so cool that my friend picked me to come down with her and we got all sorts of gift cards and tickets to things. Happy Friday! Oh and we got our picture with Dave Ryan who has been the main DJ on the morning show there since as long as I can remember.




2.) The bf got back into town on Friday after work (he was supposed to come home Thursday but they needed him one more day) so we went out on our Friday date night to Applebees. What I love about the 'bees is that they are a dependable friend, they will always have something I like and want to eat and I especially enjoy their WW menu letting me know exactly what to expect with their food. 

3.) On Saturday I decided I needed to go shopping..yes needed :) So I went to a bunch of stores, Maurices, Old Navy and Walmart, I got myself some new clothes, here are a few of my finds.





4.) I also stopped at Trader Joe's while I was out and picked up some more reduced guilt chunky guacamole ...and used it on egg whites for breakfast!


5.) Number 5 & 6 go together, because for the second time in my life, I grilled! I still won't turn the girll on myself (I'm a big baby) but I used the brill and cooked yummy food!!



6.)And for supper Sunday night I made kabobs! I love kabobs because it is all sorts of yummy fresh veggies all grilled and crisped on the grill. So good.


7.) The weather is finally starting to cooperate A LITTLE here in MN, although there was snow on Friday...but Sunday was nicer and I took my brown dogs out for a little walk, afterwards I google mapped my walk and realized I went almost 3 miles! Yay


8.) On Saturday morning I woke up and wanted to just lay around and do nothing...BUUUUT I didn't! I got my booty downstairs to the treadmill and did Day 3 of Week 4 of my C25K. It helped that I had a new episode of Grey's Anatomy to watch while I did it :)



Did you have a good weekend? 
What would be your top 8?

  1. I am terrified of the grill! It sucks because there are so many healthy things I want to try on the grill and I always have to con someone else into doing it for me. Looks beautiful out where you are. It snowed here three days ago. I'm not getting my hopes up that our winter is over.
