Weekending
9/21/2015
Happy Monday loves! Does anyone else feel like they need a coffee this sized to get the day going? I am so not ready to start another week. Weekends go by way too quickly in my opinion. I'm hoping my week won't be as busy this week as it was last week but we shall see. Just as a warning, this post is going to be photo heavy since I took a lot of pics this weekend. And let's just already call this the weekend of Pam and Kerri since we spent most of it together. Ok, let's get right into it! Linking up with my girl, Biana, for our weekend recap!
Ok, so technically this was Thursday night but it was too good not to share. If you are ever looking for the most amazing dessert ever, I highly recommend the Yin & Yang from The Melting Pot. OMG. I was seriously in heaven eating this. And I'm not really much of a chocolate fan but this was perfection.
Friday night was pretty uneventful. I made dinner, relaxed on the couch, watched some tv and read Everybody Rise. Still not done with it yet but so far, so good! I also did some cooking for the UCF tailgate on Saturday since it was our first full tailgate of the season.
Saturday I woke up, cleaned a bit then started getting ready to head over to campus. Kerri came out to tailgate with us for someone who shall remain nameless' 30th birthday! Happy birthday again old man ;) We had a blast despite the fact it literally poured. I'm talking straight up downpour. And all we had was this little tent to keep us "dry".
I use the term dry very loosely since we ended up getting soaked but we had fun playing beer pong during the rain storm. I have to say, Kerri and I definitely need to work on our close out skills since we didn't win a single game.
Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, the rain stopped in time for the game and the sun came out. Which of course made it hot, humid and uncomfortable but it's Florida so I guess we're kind of used to it by now. Not really. I have to admit, my team is REALLY struggling this year. Between losing half of our starters last year and being plagued with numerous injuries already in the season, if we win a game this year I'll be happy and surprised.
Kerri and I ended up leaving the game around half time to go to the bar on campus to finish watching my game and to watch Kerri's team, Kentucky, take on the Gators with some air conditioning and Oktoberfest beer (I mean, it was the first day of Oktoberfest, you have to, right?). Guys, don't let her fool you. She's a sports fan. At least when it comes to UK!
Sunday we woke up and went to brunch at a spot right by Kerri's house. It's not the best brunch spot but it was free so I can't complain!
After brunch we decided to head over to Brass Tap for "a beer" which turned into three and some football. We definitely got our second wind after brunch and we were enjoying the gorgeous day.
We rounded out the afternoon with some giant Jenga before heading home to finish watching football and relaxing.
Like I said, picture heavy so sorry about that! Hope everyone has an amazing week! I'm already counting down the hours until the weekend....

Tell Kerri I'm sorry that the Gators won...well not really since I'm pretty happy that we are 2-0 :) So glad you had a great weekend, not glad it rained during your tailgate since that was the best time you had at the game! Nothing better than life size jenga on Sunday's! Happy Monday love! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston

Opposite of you we got the tailgate in and then had a downpour during the game but we kept saying it made it more "exciting".. I guess haha. Looks like such a fun day.

Ohhhhh that dessert looks so fun! I haven't been to the Melting Pot yet, can you believe it?!?! Sounds like you had a great weekend with lots of football! Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteYay for lots of Kerri time! Sucks you got rained on during tailgating but luckily the sun came back out. I can't never last in the stadium for a full game so would have been right there at the campus bar. lol
ReplyDeleteI hear ya about the coffee, lady - I'm working through my first water bottle of the day, but then I think it's time for another cup of joe! Glad you had such a fun weekend and gorgeous weather for the most part! I have Everybody Rise on hold at the library for my Kindle, so I'm glad to hear it's good so far.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun weekend - besides the storm, but that's FL! Ugh!
ReplyDeleteGreat recap of the weekend! I know you can make it through Monday, hang in there.
