WEEKEND + FIVE THINGS

Weekends are always nice, but this one was spot on.

We went out with friends for burritos on Friday night, who also then treated us to one of the best cups of coffee I’ve ever had yet in my life. I was a Chemex scoffer until that first sip, and now I’m afraid it will haunt me forever. Saturday was housework and errands in the morning, and then we headed out for an afternoon/evening date together (always one of my favorite things). We had the obligatory stop for an afternoon coffee and treat, and then a little shopping, and then dinner at a Brazilian steakhouse in Syracuse. We had gift cards for the restaurant and wanted to use them up to (very belatedly) celebrate Ben’s birthday. Now I’m not the world’s biggest lets-chow-down-on-meat person, but this stuff is good…real good. Filet mignon, lamb chops, braised ribs, bacon wrapped steaks, chicken, and about a million other cuts of meat that just keep endlessly floating by your table and onto your plate for as long as you want it to. And the salad bar and complimentary fried bananas (to be used as a palate cleanser in between meat cuts) were a great addition to the meal too.

Sunday was a nice day of cozy breakfast, online sermon, morning nap, and family lunch. It was snowing a lot of the day which I love so much. I am like a small child when it comes to snow, and the novelty has yet to wear off in the two years I’ve lived in the north. We hung out with some friends in the evening for the football game and snacks…always a good time when you have those two things going on!

Here are five things:
– listening to this (cannot stop)
– wishing for this
– hungry for this
– inspired by this
– still trying to learn this

What about you: what was a fun thing you did this weekend?

I’d love to hear your thoughts!
