Monday Morning Recap 3.31.2014

Happy Monday!

We had a pretty good weekend!  We were on our own again, and got a lot of things done and spent some quality time together :). The weather was actually pretty nice too - no large coats needed!  And sunny!!

Friday we had our usual Panera date for lunch.  We didn't have anything we needed to do afterwards, so we came back home, where I put in a couple more hours of work and spent some time cleaning up and organizing my office.  That night we snuggled up and watched Star Trek Into Darkness.  We had seen it before, but I guess Brian was in the mood to watch it again :)

Saturday I woke up pretty early and spent some time cleaning up our kitchen and living room.  We made a movie lunch date to see Divergent and feast on a bucket of popcorn, but after we left we realized too late that we had forgotten the popcorn bucket, so we decided to go eat somewhere else and save the movie for Sunday.  We ended up going to Ruby Tuesday since we hadn't eaten there in a long time.  I had some broccoli chicken pasta, but it wasn't that great.  Oh well :)

After lunch we came back home, and I got some more cleaning done and planned our menu for the week so I could make my grocery list.  Brian spent some time getting the battery out of his car, since it was dead and he wanted to replace it.  Then we headed to get the battery and groceries.  While at Target we were tempted by a cute patio set that was on sale, but decided to pass and hold off on patio furniture until we have a larger outdoor area where we can fit more than 2 people :)

At home I put away the groceries while Brian worked on the car, and then I settled into to watch the Florida basketball game while talking to my mom :). We had a good talk, and we won the game!  Final Four!  I correctly predicted 3 of the 4 Final Four teams on my bracket, which I'm pretty proud about :). Brian came down after the game and we watched Ender's Game for the first time. I read and loved the book (and it's sequels) a few years ago, but Brian has never read them.  We both enjoyed the movie, though it mostly just made me want to read the book again.

Sunday we slept in a bit, then I got up and got the laundry going, then headed out for my first run of the year!  It went pretty well!  I decided to try the run from week 5 day 1 on my 5k trainer app, to see how much of my endurance I had retained from last year.  It was pretty hard, but I made it through, minus the last 10 seconds or so of the second run, but that was uphill :).  It was a beautiful morning, and other than a few spots that were still a little icy, it was really nice to get out there again.  I'm a bit sore this morning (hello hip flexors!) but am looking forward to running again.  Yay for nicer weather!

Later on we had our movie date, and we saw Divergent.  I loved the books, so I was apprehensive that the movie would be a let down, but I really liked it!  They did change some things at the end, but I think it works.  Brian wasn't as taken, and had a lot of questions after, but they were questions he'd have after reading the first book, so I thought that was ok :)

We swung by Barnes & Noble on the way home, which I was super excited about - I LOVE bookstores :). Brian was on the hunt for this book about scotch - he had given my dad a copy for Christmas and finally decided he wanted a copy for himself :). I behaved myself and only picked up Cameron Diaz's The Body Book - it was on sale and I had heard good things, so I grabbed it. It's pretty interesting so far!

The rest of the day was spent finishing the laundry, reading, and watching some old Pysch episodes.  I finished The Fellowship of the Ring!  It was really good, but I'm gonna read something else before jumping into The Two Towers.  Last night I started the Veronica Mars book that picks up where the movie left off.  I'm halfway through and really like it!  

Anywho, that was our super exciting weekend :). Thrilling to read about, I'm sure :). Next weekend we have plans to go to a pro lacrosse game and see the new Captain America, so that should be fun!  Plus Game of Thrones starts next weekend!!

Did you get up to anything fun this weekend?  Hope everyone has a great week!
