Memorial Day Weekend Wrap Up

It was a hot, hot weekend here in Columbus (95 plus degrees!)

Gracie and I spent it running errands, eating good food, catching up on TV/books/magazines, doing some work on the blog, and taking care of random things around the house. 

Brad was away in North Carolina on a nice family weekend getaway, so it was just me and Grace - Girls Weekend!

If that's not the face of a happy pup, I don't know what is!

I caught up on some required reading...and some very non-required reading...

Gracie was not impressed and spent most of her energy preventing me from getting any work done.

When she got tired of that, she took some some puppy naps...

Sometimes under the bed...

...but she never forgot her dutiful role as guard dog!

I mean, really...who wouldn't be scared of teeth like this?

I consumed a lot of noodles - probably my favorite food of all time. Pad Thai, Japanese Ramen, Taiwanese Noodles - you name it, I ate it! 

Oh, and I had a festive Popsicle too in honor of Memorial Day!

Fret not, Grace had her usual share of bully sticks...

Along the way, I:

1. Discovered a new favorite nail polish (OPI something...my short-term memory escapes me)
2. Took advantage of West Elm's extra 15% off sale and bought myself a coral throw I'd been eyeing for months

3. Jumped on the the topiary trend and picked one up at Goodwill - $2.99? Yes, please!

4. Dropped some clothes off at Plato's Closet and picked up this sparkly number - $4.00? Yes, yes, yes! Thinking of pairing it with a cropped blazer, some skinny jeans, and some summery wedges...

All in all, a great weekend...Brad came home Monday to a very excited Gracie who just wanted to play, play, play!

We stopped by my boss's house for a lovely BBQ pool party in the afternoon, but by early evening, the two of them were reunited...

...and resumed their daily lacrosse practice.

And all was well in the universe again. 

How about you? Did you have a good Memorial Day weekend?
