Weekend in Review - #8

Last weekend was a short, measly 2 day weekend... the good news is that the next 5 weekends are all longer than 2 days so that's pretty awesome.


Last week I was sick... ugh, I called into work both Wednesday and Thursday and decided to go to work on Friday.  I had mostly a head cold where it is hard to concentrate because your head feels so full... ugh.  The unfortunate thing is that head cold moved south to my throat over the weekend... now it's Tuesday and I don't have much of a voice and a nice, lovely cough... luckily I sound worse than I feel.  I just hope this cold gets kicked in the butt soon because I have a lot to look forward to in the next week.


Friday night after work I picked up Simon and we headed home.  We decided to go out for some dinner and tried Tap Haus on Telegraph.  I had passed by it a couple of months ago and since Dan likes beer I had been wanting to try it.  We brought Simon along (I read online that it was kid friendly, but really it's more of a bar, like they didn't have highchairs, they were sweet to Simon but highchairs would be nice).  The good: they have a great beer selection with like 40 taps including half local beers.  I had an UCBC Schnickelfritz and a Strawberry Blonde.  The not so good: The food wasn't great, they have a small menu, we got the pretzels with beer cheese (good cheese, the pretzels were cut up and fried - they tasted like funnel cake to me), fries with a curry ketchup (guess I don't really care for curry) and horseradish aioli (don't really care for horseradish either) and the wings (the best of the bunch).  I'm not sure if I'd go back there or not, but I did like the feel of the place, so maybe just for drinks.  After that we stopped by Schnucks and headed home.  We watched TV and I made some cookies from a mix.


Saturday I woke up feeling not great.  I got up with Simon and we played and then made breakfast.  I made French toast... I think Simon enjoyed it.  He went down for a nap and so did I.  We got up and Dan made a fancy lunch (salmon with fancy rice and pasta salad).  Then he went down for an afternoon nap... and again, so did I.  When Simon got up from his nap we took a little trip to Bed Bath and Beyond (I really needed new oven mitts) and then we went to Watson Trails Park because I've been wanting to try out a new swing - Expression Swing.  Simon really loved it and it was fun, but the park was crowded.  We walked around a bit since that's a park I went to often as a kid/teenager and I wanted to see what had changed.  We headed back home and had a low key night involving Qdoba for Dan, BK for me and watching That 70's Show (Dan has been watching it on a loop lately)
Nice surprise when I was expecting him to bring home fast food

Fun swing


Sunday was my morning to sleep in (woohoo) although Dan always ends up waking me up anyway which is super annoying.  The big part of Sunday was we went to Target and bought so much, but I was able to save like $40 on my bill via Cartwheel, deal, and gift cards I had from previous deals.  I'm always proud of myself with those kind of savings.  We spend the afternoon being lazy.
