Weekend

Top of the morning to ya.  This weekend was one for the books -- sunny, warm, and filled with good food.  Just how I like 'em.

Levi was out of town all last week, but surprised me by coming home on Friday early enough for us to have a lunch date.  We went to one of of our favorite spots in downtown Greenville, Nose Dive.  We took advantage of the gorgeous day and sat outside to people watch.

I always, always, always order the lobster sandwich when we go to Nose Dive. I would try something different, BUT LOBSTAH.  Enough said.  I did try the roasted brussels sprouts with a warm bacon vinaigrette as my side and they were beyond delicious.  We do like to try new beers every time we go.  This time, we enjoyed a red ale by local brewery Thomas Creek.

On Saturday, I did a little window shopping* at JCrew and Forever 21.  

While I kind of loved everything, I only purchased the pop-pom dress and the tortoise shades from Forever 21.  I had a $25 Visa gift card that covered the purchases exactly. Cha-ching.  However, I fully intend on purchasing that little summer tunic from JCrew as soon as it goes on sale.  I have a serious thing for tassels and pom-poms right now (boy, never thought I'd say that), so it's a must.  Levi, if you're reading this, my birthday is coming up...nudge, shove.  Also, I think it's officially time for a spray tan.  Like, tomorrow.

Sunday we brunched at Southern Culture Kitchen + Bar.  I've heard amazing things about their brunch, so I wasn't too surprised when we were told that the wait for a table was over an hour.  Their kick-ass bloody mary bar and live music made the hour fly right on by! As expected, the food was great.  I got a burger, which was good, but a mistake.  Levi got fried chicken, biscuits, gravy, and fried eggs and I dropped some not so subtle hints that I wanted to trade plates.  No dice.  Even true love can't come between a boy and his biscuits.   The rest of our table was really happy with their meals.  We'll definitely be back.

I spent the rest of the day nursing a head cold, picking up the house, and giving myself an at home mani. I went with another neutral (surprise!), OPI Mimosas for the Mr. & Mrs.  

While I'm completely in love with the color, the formula le sucked.  It will definitely be going back to Ulta.

I'm still trying to fight off this cold before I head to Atlanta tomorrow and then fly to New Orleans on Thursday for MARDI GRAS!  Send me some Vitamin C love, please!

How was your weekend?  Did you have beautiful weather?

* By window shopping, I mean trying everything on and torturing myself by not buying anything.  Dressing room attendants love me.
