Weekend Recap

I just hate when the weekend ends. Can't we just have Friday-Sunday on repeat?

Friday night hubby & I typically go to this local BBQ place. Friday night they have a turkey & dressing special that we love. I think we're the youngest people that go because all the other patrons are 50+! But we don't care, the food is good & who says you can only eat turkey & dressing on Thanksgiving?

However this Friday we decided to meet up with another couple for dinner & drinks at TGIF. Do yall have any friends who are ALWAYS late. OMG its SO annoying. We were all supposed to meet up at 9, we knew they'd be late so we got there at about 9:15.  We got the table, ordered drinks & an appetizer.  At about 9:45, they STILL weren't there! So we told the waiter we'd give them til 10 and then we'd order. At about 9:55 our friend Solomon came in & said Lisa was still in the car priming. At about 10:10 she still hadn't made it in! Apparently her shoes were in the trunk & he had the keys. LOL! We finally got to order at about 10:15. I told them next time we go out with them, we'll show up AFTER they have the table.

Saturday I pretty much lounged during the day. Our friend David came down from Atlanta to give some of us a presentation about this company called ACN. They basically have a partnership with various cable, cell phone, & home security providers. If you switch (say from direct tv to dish tv) via ACN, you can save money. The other side of it is, if you want to work for ACN, and switch people's services over, you can earn a commission of up to 10% per month. ACN was actually featured on the Apprentice, endorsed by Donald Trump, & is on the cover of Success magazine this month! It was interesting and one of our friend's signed up to work for ACN.

After that meeting we had game night. Playing Scattergories can get heated with our friends. We didn't realize how fun it was. Everyone was seriously fighting & defending their answers, ha!

Sunday the hubby & I took a road trip to Warm Springs, GA. There is a little boutique there sells the best max dresses all for under $25.  Then we headed back & had lunch at Cheddar's. And finally went to my mom's for a bit. And of course Sunday night we always tune in True Blood! I love that show! Do any of watch it?

Weekend Recap

Friday night was my sis-in-law's 30th birthday....and she wanted to go to dinner at Applebee's. They recently renovated all the local Applebee's so its "hip" to hang out there again. They have karaoke on Friday nights so it has a lounge vibe...kind of.

Now mind you, this is the same Applebee's that I had THIS terrible experience at a few weeks ago.

The dinner started at 8, but we all knew we wouldn't be seated right away bc we had a party of 20. That is understandable.  But we got seated at 10:15pm...TWO HOURS AND 15 MINUTES! I was beyond annoyed. And then it took another hour before our food arrived. We didn't leave until after midnight! WTF?

We didn't so much as get an apology for the wait, no free desert for the birthday girl, NOTHING. 

Seriously Applebee's, that was strike 2. 

We got her this pretty necklace via my fav, QVC.

Saturday was pretty low key. We hung out at home & had some friends over as usual.
Of course the hubby is SO happy that college football was back. I was disappointed with Georgia but happy as hell about LSU. He went to college in Louisiana so he's a big LSU fan.

Sunday we threw a bbq for  labor day/ sis-in-law's 30th. Her hubby cooked all the wonderful food.  We had a houseFULL of people alllll day.

I of course got my 1 hour of True Blood in. I am so sad it's almost over bc is just so good. I am glad they finally killed the witch but annoyed that she is going to be back next week via Lafayette...which means they're going to leave us with a big cliff hanger until next year!

Ahh Monday...that god for holidays! I was so glad to be off. The hubby & I hung out at home most of the day. It was rainy here...and there is no place like home on days like this. When it finally stopped, we went to the mall because I heard Dillards was having their annual 65% of shoe sale.

I scored these lovely nude shoes by Jessica Simpson for $20! I saw Kim Kardashian tweeted something about nude shoes making your legs look longer, yaddi yadda, and I didn't own a pair of nude shoes, so for $20 why not. Now I have to find something to wear them with and wear them to. So now I'm on the hunt for a cute dress to wear for my birthday...3 weeks away!

Back to the work week...I hope it goes by quickly for everyone! :)
